Predictions for Trump Presidency, I'm sure this will be civil Options

[Badman]

This post is mostly targeted at Americans, but anyone can play. We have an opportunity to make predictions for what changes America will go through under a Drumpf presidency.

I assume we'll all laugh about our awful predictions in 2020. How do you see this all playing out?

Indeed. Our system is fucked up in the states - the president rarely has the majority vote and if you lose an election, you win no power to negotiate. It's a winner take all system and 3 states basically choose the president - Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Trump has Florida in the bag, Biden likely has Pennsylvania due to his Scranton roots, but Ohio? This is a state with extreme racial tension on both sides.

I predict it will be a close race and that terrifies me. Trump won't give up if it is close and he loses. He will say Dems cheated and refuse to transition power. Still, I maintain that he's probably going to win in 2020. Either way, it doesn't bode well.

Also, we need a new LIVE album, wtf folks.

I’d highly recommend https://www.electoral-vote.com/ for those interested in seeing how the polling looks for the electoral college on any given day. The commentary on this site is pretty good too though it’s a bit left leaning so those on the right may not be as interested in the stuff below the map.

For those not wanting to click the link, Trump’s state by state polling is way off his 2016 numbers which barely put him over the top 4 years ago.

The fact that the electoral college is still in place in American politics is amazing. It is an outdated system that deters some people from voting. The fact that it has put two people into the presidency within the past 20 years with a minority vote shows what a broken system it is.

Hillary Clinton won the California vote by 4M people, more than twice the amount she won in the popular vote nationwide.

The electoral college is in place to ensure that populous states can't dominate the election. The fact that California wasn't able to change the election all by itself shows that it works. You can hate Trump all you want, but Trump isn't the one who designed the electoral college. And it wasn't designed just for him.
