What has changed is how much we underestimated how many of our countrymen and women admire a crook, conman, demagogue and malignant narcissist so long as he waves the flag and carries the Bible. Seriously, we underestimated the number of these people...

And watch the MAGATS gnash their teeth would be awesome

regardless of Pelosi
helpisontheway
(5,007 posts)12. No I heard something about Republicans would have an advantage in that

MI and PA may go to them as well (Amash seat ties MI, and they have 2 or 3 other races to take it) and PA is dead tied, and again, they have good shots to take it in 2 or 3 races

(1,822 posts)13. The house doesn't vote like that
Each state gets 1 vote or something dumb like that which means Trump would win.
SomedayKindaLove
(529 posts)19. Trump would win 26-24 in this scenario
Celerity
(43,278 posts)23. or 26-23 with one tie, or 26-22 with 2 ties (MI and PA in play)
sarisataka
(18,570 posts)9. The House has not chosen the President in 195 years
but it is not out of the question this year...

Renew Deal
(81,852 posts)22. Nothing would be more 2020 than that.
Celerity
(43,278 posts)24. IF Biden (likely) wins NE-2, its really hard to come up with a 269-269 scenario that is likely
other than two and AZ looks fairly good for us
this following one is the more likely atm (NE-2 saves us)
