    CNN’s inaugural “Road to 270” electoral map shows President Joe Biden struggling to recreate his Electoral College majority from his successful 2020 run and former President Donald Trump with enough states solidly in his corner or leaning in his direction to put him in a position to win the presidency again.

    This first look at a potential Biden vs. Trump rematch – and the electoral math each would need to capture 270 electoral votes – captures the dynamics at play 10 months from Election Day. Biden is an incumbent president with stubbornly low approval ratings, persistent questions and concerns about his ability to serve another term, and diminished support from some key components of his winning coalition from 2020.

    =====================================================================

    The day is near! The day is near! I think progressives have started to take the threat of Donald seriously, hence all the attempts to ban him from running in states and trying to get people upset that his hotels made money off of foreign nationals while he was president. The question is, what lengths will the DNC go to prevent the Donald from winning in November?

    Means nothing. Alot changes in a year, you have fascists trying to lock him up, keep him off ballots, some dems undoubtedly trying to kill him.

    And if he gets passed all that, culture of America, seemingly is moving rightward, but still very much left wing. Dems aren't really ever at a disadvantage in an election. No matter how poorly they perform, they have loyalists to dem party that are as loyal as any Trump supporter is to Trump, despite how they wouldn't want to admit it.

    You are right we progressive/ moderate/ DEMS/ left/ centrist/ never Trumper/ RINO .. we all are scared of another trump ‘s presidency.

    And you are right. Trump has 50% chance winning election in 2024.

    That is why we will take every democratic/ legal / constitutional step to stop Trump winning election. I want every “progressive/ moderate/ deems/ left/ centrist/ never Trumper/ RINO” have the fear of God that Trump can win election in November 2024 and destroy the country we love. We are not taking any chances. We will go to court to block trump on the ballot, we will prosecute trump for his crime, we will remind Americans about Trump’s hotel made money from foreign government, we will remind Americans that trump tried to over throw US democracy and asked his VP to throw away election result.

    7 out of 8 presidential election , majority American voted for Democrat.

    And you think “America moving rightward”?


    Oh the days of gerrymandering is over for GOP. So you are right, DEMS are not in disadvantage in 2024. DEMS will control House in 2024.

    You are probably the only user on the forum with the courage to state the actuality of what is taking place. So Bravo for that.

    It's still early, so anything is possible. That said, most people want to move past both leading candidates, but that doesn't look like that is possible at the moment.

    Yes, democrats are pursuing legal options — not illegal ones like republicans.

    That doesn’t take courage, just integrity

    You don’t need courage to say “ I want to win election”.

    Yes he clearly has a path to the presidency.

    Which is both horrifying and a scathing indictment of the lack of intelligence, morals and principles of a huge proportion of the American electorate.

    Not “everyone else”. Just those who support Trump.

    Takes courage to admit the actions you are using that will be struck down by the supreme court. I would also argue that using the courts fraudulently is illegal, even when crooked officials support the actions ;).

    Right, Trump, who polls above your guy. But again, its everyone else that has it wrong. Not the party that continues to fall lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower in polls and approval ratings.

    Of course Trump or any GOP has 50% chance winning election. Since 2008 any path to win WH goes throw – WI, MI and PA. Since 2021 you can add AZ and GA to the list. But you can’t win WH without winning 2/3 (WI, MI/ PA).

    If you take a look at WI/Mi/PA all three state moved toward blue. MI became complete blue in 2022. Only reason CNN and other media put MI leans GOP because 250K Arab-Americans chanting “ Unless Biden stop war in ME we will not vote for Biden”. If Trump is the nominee , Trump will chant “ send all Muslim back to their country” and MI will lean DEMS.

    But here is the bottom line. DEMS/Liberals/ progressive/ never Trumper/ RINO/DINO need to accept the fact trump might win and work hard to defeat Trump on November. Voting for 3rd party. I will stay home, Biden is too old, none of that matter.

    No, the country isnt moving right, it’s the radical MAGA party that gets all the attention because of the radical and ridiculous positions they take. Just because one side gets extreme, it doesn’t pull everyone in that direction, it moves the “center”.

    The article makes some good observations:
    Trump is a seriously flawed candidate who has promised to govern in undemocratic ways and who has already been rejected once by the American people after serving one term as president. He faces four criminal indictments consisting of 91 charges related to his attempts to overturn the legitimate 2020 election results, his mishandling of classified documents after leaving office and allegedly obstructing law enforcement’s attempts to retrieve them, and his falsifying of business records to conceal a hush payment to keep an adult film star from going public with claims of an extramarital affair, which he denies, in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election. He’s pleaded not guilty to all charges against him and maintained no wrongdoing.
    We should be very clear about what this electoral outlook is and, more importantly, what it is not. It is the first snapshot of the Electoral College landscape in what will likely prove to be another very close and extraordinarily consequential presidential election. It is not a prediction of how things will turn out in November. It’s not even a prediction of what things may look like when the parties gather for their nominating conventions this summer.
    The map will undoubtedly change as the race formally takes shape

    So when trump used 66 lawsuits to block election result, it was legal and practice legal process.

    But

    When DEMS use same court to block trump , it’s illegal?

    See how that works :)

    What's all this stuff about 'reminding' people? You guys bring that crap up all day every day and Trump is still in the running to win the election. Maybe if you folks didn't pick a senile candidate who rules like a dictator during the day or two a week he shows up for work, who wasn't corrupt, who had at least an inkling of competence, who hired by merit rather than check boxes, who insults half the county, then you guys might be looking better come election time.

    8.3 - do you know what that number represents? That's how many millions of illegals Biden let into the country during his first three years. If anyone is destroying the country it's Biden. And you know the age old question, are you better off now than you were 3 years ago? I have no doubt you'll say you are and you should have no doubt that I won't believe you.

    Since you asked, it's at Brownshirts For Biden. It's where the "progressive" fascists who are trying to destroy our Constitution, democracy and rule of law go to get all their gear. Check out the t-shirts:

    Back to the topic of this thread and what you posted in #3, if Trump successfully completes his journey down CNN's Inaugural Road to 270, he should make a point of thanking all the Leftists whose anti-democratic antics helped make Traitor Joe and his party even more unappealing than it was when they were focused on fundamentally transforming the United States into a collectivist sh*thole. That's what you call shooting yourself in the jackboot.

    I mean they won the house in 2022, and it's what is going to cost Joe 2024. Are you going to move to Canada when Trump wins?

    IT would be possible if most people actually cared to move on. But y'all do not care. You're all of you willing to "hold your nose" and pull the lever. In fact, a goodly number of you will call anything else "just a vote for the other guy". This is why we can't have nice things.
