Who will win in 2020?

[Ron]

31% of blacks intend to vote for Trump?

If that holds up Trump will win in a landslide and the Dems are finished as a party.

Has a Republican ever broken out of single digits with that demographic?

[Jim147]

Yes but my mind just went blank.

Has a Republican ever broken out of single digits with that demographic?

From the linked article:

In the last ten presidential election cycles the highest black vote share for a Republican was 12% for Bob Dole in 1996.

As far as that 31%  It'll be interesting to see.  That is 31% of "likely voters" as Rasmussen sees them.  If there is one takeaway from the various early voting turnouts it's that pollsters don't have a good grasp of "likely voter" this year.

Apparently Latinx voters are the hot new demographic to court.  Maybe someone who lives in Southern Cal or the Southwest has more insights on this.

Latinx is also a made up Woke term that most Latino/as have either never heard of or despise.

QFT. I've seen that term set off an otherwise reasonable Latina. It was entertaining to watch.

What is Latinx anyway? I have seen Latino and Latina: does the first refer only to males and the second only to females? And therefore Latinx covers both sexes?

As I understand it the SJW's don't know the difference between gendered nouns and gender.  Because they only speak English.  So while you can have Latinos and Latinas, there is Latino culture.  I'm not fluent in Spanish but I think it the adjective takes the gender of the noun it is describing in that case.

SJW's saw this and, of course, decided that meant it was all masculine and exclusionary and any male gendered form of the adjective needed to be neutered.  .26 seconds after that navel gazing it was extended to no-binary identifying people of Latin decent.  The virtue signaling started to spiral into a virtue signado (as stupid as a Sharknado, but more destructive) and it was decreed that henceforth all folks of Latin decent would be reffered to by the neutral to avoid The Hurt Feelz*.  Protestations that Spanish was a gendered language and this was stupid fell on deaf ears.

I suspect you could shave about five points off that poll result and it would be more accurate.  Even so, that is still a huge number and bodes ill for Biden.

Obviously the poor ignorant brown people need liberal SJWs to educate them about their oppression.

If you say "latinks" (latinx) while speaking spanish in any spanish speaking country, you'll get strange looks and incomprehension.

Plurals of mixed gender objects take the masculine by default.  A mixed group of men and women when using a "they" pronoun is "ellos."  A mixed group of latinos and latinas defaults to latinos.

"Latinx" is an english word.  It has no relation to the spanish language.

In humor there is truth.  In truth there is humor.

Best line:

".26 seconds after that navel gazing it was extended to no-binary identifying people of Latin decent."

Lil Wayne has endorsed Trump.

Now if Trump can just get Biig Wayne and Med'm-Sized Wayne on board that should put him over the top.

[DittoHead]

I hope no one is looking for results from PA too quickly.

At least two counties in the state will not begin counting mail-in ballots until the day after the election.

Election officials in Cumberland and Butler Counties, both of which are heavily Republican, say their staffs are simply too small to tally mail ballots while at the same time running Election Day operations.

My local clerk is starting the first shift processing mail in ballots when polls open on election day. I will be working in the second shift, 2-11pm, and the third shift goes until they are done.

Victor David Hanson weighs in on the election.

https://thecritic.co.uk/why-victor-davis-hanson-thinks-trump-will-win/?fbclid=IwAR3ltPRtE-PNYDfu94_Ctv7khCTj5uHuX0dwSbFePYpHlJIyEAKLeI4_v9k

The most important thing is that most politicians in the Western world lie. And so when Donald Trump said, “I’m going to build a wall with Mexico, and I’m going to take on China, I’m going to bring jobs back to the deindustrialised Midwest, I’m going to avoid optional military engagements in the Middle East, I’m going to put my foot on the accelerator of gas and oil production, I’m going to get the most conservative judges you can imagine” everybody thought, you know, this is Manhattan real estate talk.

But then when he got in, not only did he start doing that, but the forces arrayed against him. And, I should note, they were bipartisan. I mean, we had, almost immediately, talk of articles of impeachment, and then there was a move to declare him crazy under the 25th amendment, than the Emoluments Clause, then the Logan Act, and then 22 months of the Mueller Russia hoax, and then the impeachment. So it showed you that there was a lot of opposition to him, because he kept his promises.

[TommyGunn]

I hope V. D. Hanson is right.   He's one of the smarter talking-heads on the boob-toob.  

Atleast I can feel good about his prediction and rest better for three days until reality gobsmacks everyone in the face.

I wonder how many of those people replied to the polls that are all saying Biden is way ahead?

[K Frame]

Still surprisingly few Biden signs here in the liberal shithole of Northern Virginia.
