McConnell triumphs, Republicans cling to Senate Majority, libs prepare to be owned
Few questions were answered on Election Night 2020, but one thing was clear: The Joe Biden landslide predicted by political experts failed to materialize. Once again, President Donald Trump managed to exceed expectations in key states, many of which remained too close to call as of late Tuesday.
"We were winning everything, and all of a sudden it was just called off," Trump said. "The results tonight have been phenomenal." Biden, meanwhile, urged supporters to have patience as the election results come in. "It ain't over til every vote is counted," Biden said in Delaware.
Other social media users sounded a more ominous and racially charged message:
The president got off to a hot start with a strong performance in Florida, where he was projected to win by several percentage points. The New York Times also projected Trump to win in North Carolina, where most polls had anticipated a Biden victory. The Senate race between incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis (R., N.C.) and Cal "Side Piece" Cunningham (D., N.C.) was too close to call, with Tillis clinging to a slight lead with more than 80 percent of precincts reporting.
Preliminary data suggested Trump's strength was driven in large part by a double-digit increase in support among Hispanic voters, particularly in and around Miami. Liberal pundits reacted as you might expect—by declaring that Hispanics who vote for Trump are actually white.
In a sign that a Biden landslide was not on the cards, Trump was projected to win Georgia, a state Democrats had targeted as a potential pickup opportunity thanks to changing demographics. Ohio, meanwhile, was too close to call, though Trump led by 8 percentage points with 90 percent of precincts reporting. Biden was projected to win in Arizona, an outcome predicted by polls but significant nevertheless given that Trump won the state by more than 3 percentage points in 2016.
The unique circumstances of this year's election—in the midst of a global pandemic—mean that some states, including crucial swing-states such as Pennsylvania, may not be able to produce a definitive outcome for days as mail-in ballots are counted. Early returns from the Keystone State did not appear to bode well for Biden.
Doing what he does best, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) easily won reelection, defeating challenger Amy McGrath in a race that was promptly called. Hopes of a Democratic upset in red states such as Alabama, South Carolina, and Texas were dashed when the Associated Press called those races for the Republican candidates fairly early in the evening.
In general, the tone of the Election Night media coverage was eerily similar to 2016, when many professional journalists experienced a gradual descent into madness after realizing the expert predictions were wrong. Betting markets swung decisively toward an expected Trump victory as the night wore on.
Just as it was too early to call the race for either candidate, it was also too early to rule out the possibility of a 269-269 Electoral College tie, which is probably the outcome we deserve. On the bright side, the lack of a decisive Trump victory meant that Antifa radicals did not immediately take to the street to burn down our cities.
You’re witnessing in real time election fraud at it’s finest.
I also believe 2012 included massive voter fraud as well.
After the shock of 2016 we all should of seen this coming. There’s no way the Deep State would let Trump win re-election! I’m in my early fifties. If the RATS get away with this I’m afraid I’ll never see another Republican president in my lifetime.
Where’s the black/latino vote we were supposed to gain on?
China is the biggest benefactor of this horrendous steal!
They’re manufacturing votes at this point.
In no other election did the states say “too close to call” by this time the day after.

Not all the dummies are on the left. Newt Gingrich predicted a Trump landslide.
count me in as a dummy...I honestly thought Trump would be the obvious winner at the end of the night.
Not looking good for Trump. He needs Nevada or else Sleepy Joe has won.
Bttt

I kinda did too. In particular I was confident about Pennsylvania and Florida. But I sure didn’t think it would be the landslide Gingrich predicted.
“ They’re manufacturing votes at this point.”

Or voiding/destroying legit votes for PotUS.
We all did see this coming...this is not unexpected. We all knew the only way President Trump would lose was through fraud.
What happens from this point on will be telling. Does the GOP fight like their lives depend on it?? Or roll over as they usually do?
The ChiComs and the EU.
If Trump is gone, Brexit is likely dead.
Why does this writer believe a tied electoral college is what we deserve?
GOP will be happy if Trump is gone...they have the Senate and there corruption can go on with the democrats
The senate may be lost too. Trump failed to give any speeches on national tv explaining anything, instead relied on twitter and rallies. He failed to arrest anyone on the various crimes committed by the democrats. He was too clever and now a communist pedophile puppet may become president.
Presidents don’t just decide to arrest people just because. He cycled through two AGs that weren’t up to the task, or chose not to care. I fail to see how Trump giving a speech would have changed a single mind. This election outcome was predetermined in 2017 - we all knew it. But POTUS stood alone, with an insubordinate bureaucratic state opposing him every step of the way
