GAME THREAD: 2020 United States Presidential Election, featuring the Battle for Control of the Senate and the House

Recommended Posts

Omg. This is amazing.

Quote

Drawing some concerns from Mr. Trump was a May advertisement from the Lincoln Project, a bipartisan group working to defeat the president in November. The ad suggested that the campaign manager was getting rich off Mr. Trump. Mr. Parscale has denied the accusations.

Gotta love the grifter in chief hawking products on the +++++ing Resolute Desk.

Considering Trump's approval ratings, I really wonder if this is a helpful or harmful endorsement. 

Goya should be careful what they wish for.

Pretty surprised the Republicans are so low.

Considering mega billionaire Sheldon Adelson is just down the road - But NV's republican party is pretty much a clown show run by a corrupt ex-cop (LV)

Great, let’s create an incentive for Republican lawmakers to drive people of color to the poorhouse to prevent them from voting.  The Republicans continued voter disenfranchisement efforts are pretty disgusting.  It’s like we have gone back to the 1960’s. 
 

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/16/politics/supreme-court-florida-felons/index.html

The Supreme Court on Thursday said Florida can enforce a law barring ex-felons from voting if they still owe court fines or fees that they are unable to pay associated with their convictions.

The unsigned order likely means the law will be in effect for the November election, although the court did not declare the law to be unconstitutional or limit ongoing court challenges.
Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan dissented. 
"This Court's order prevents thousands of otherwise eligible voters from participating in Florida's primary election simply because they are poor," Sotomayor wrote in the dissent.

It's effectively a poll tax by a different name.

Adelson is very old and suffering from cancer. He therefore doesn't have long to live. Of his two sons, one is deceased after stuggling for years with an opiod addiction and the other produces TV shows in L.A. and isn't close to his mother, Miriam. Miriam is a physician who specializes in addiction issues and lives most of the time in Israel. Although she's very politically conservative and personally rich from her share of Adelson's LV properties, it's unknown whether after he dies she won't just sell them because she's never expressed the vehement anti-union philosophy which drives her husband to keep running them.

To my knowledge, nobody in Nevada contributes anywhere close to as much to the state Republican Party as does Sheldon Adelson. So if Miriam was to sell the properties after he dies, that alone could turn Nevada from its current purple status to full-on Democratic.

Good points - Adelson is big in NV & even national & Jewish politics - It will be interesting to see what happens when Sheldon departs - Since LV Sands / Venetian are publicly traded, it's possible Miram just hangs onto the stocks or sells some off in smaller blocks over time - From what I know she's not been at the forefront of political activity so what the donations look like post Sheldon are a mystery ........as to Nevada specifically the local & state GOP (at least in the LV area) has become a clown show - In CD03 (my district) the three main candidates were a former 1 term state treasurer Dan Schwartz who got crushed in the 2018 GOP gubernatorial primary by a total flake named Paul Laxalt (who moved to NV to use granddaddy's name for political benefit & is actually the son of former NM US Senator Pete Domenici) .......then there's the former wrestler Dan Rodimer who failed to win a state legislative seat & has had suspect business failures along with assault charges ........and a soft porn actress Mindy Robinson who latched onto the trump gun & flag waving crowd ........Rodimer came out the winner & now faces an incumbent democrat 

So Adelson might have tired of the NV GOP clown show & let Laxalt fund them via is Morning in America PAC

To this point........Dems are killing republicans in Clark County by 153.975 voters 

Party Active Voters
Democratic 482,001
Republican 328,026
Nonpartisan 273,272
Other 66,381
Total 1,149,680
 
And in the Reno/Sparks area Democrats have gained a very slight edge after years of a decent republican lead 
 
Washoe
Dem 96,388
NP 56,926 
Rep 96,277
Total 267,124 
 
So if Democrats can increase their lead in Washoe that could mean NV is becoming blue in general
