What if it's 269-269?

If you look at the current no toss up map and flip a state or two it could easily happen

I can't imagine that the republican party would then select Harris but, there would be so much behind the scenes horse trading you never know.

Harris would have the popular vote, which would be the democratic party's best argument

Trump would have won far more states, which would be the republican party's best argument

Maybe a compromise where the republican party gets to be committee chairman of every committee and the speakers chair for two years. In exchange for a Harris presidency.
With concessions on judges and the filibuster after two years.

Maybe a concession from Trump to the gop? Not sure what that would be but, who knows.

Anyway any ideas from you in the peanut gallery?

If Trump wins Wisconsin and Michigan and Harris wins Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Nevada Trump still wins.

I believe Harris wins North Carolina because of the storm. Asheville is pretty much open and a big democratic stronghold. While the displaced voters were strong republican areas.

I also believe she wins Nevada because the union workers in Clark County always come through for the democratic party.

I also believe she wins Pennsylvania because of Philadelphia turnout and Trump campaign insulting Puerto Rico

It won't be, but if it were 269-269 the GOP will make Trump President. He owns them.

I agree that they would elect him but not because he owns them. To do otherwise would be political suicide.

Because he owns them. Look at what Graham once said about him: “You know how to make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell … He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.” If Trump was nominated, he said “we will get slaughtered in November 2016. And frankly, we will deserve it.”

Now there’s NOTHING that Graham won’t defend. Same with the rest of the GOP. Trump owns them.

And he owns you - there’s nothing that Trump can say or do that you won’t come right to this board and repeat and defend.

He doesn’t understand the simple act of party control. Take the office for your party or give it to your opponent. It’s that simple.

It's about power, and that's what the GOP craves. So that, among other things, women die.
