Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

DO NOT move to Atlanta. My brother lives there. They DO NOT want people like you there. Stay in Cleveland. You deserve each other.

Hey -

If you're serious about moving to ATL, this could be your lucky day. :) Our house is going on the market on Friday. 6 bedroom/7 bath Great custom pool. Theatre room, workout room. 6900sqft in Brookhaven. 2.02M

Let me know if you're interested and we can set up a showing prior to going on the market. We anticipate getting multiple offers on Friday above asking. Just let me know and we can discuss privately and set something up.

"Large int'l airport.". As if you had any need for any international airport. Doubt you have ever been anywhere outside Ohio.

Interesting that Fox News called Arizona for Biden on election night (one week ago, already) and CNN still hasn't called it.

Fox and AP are still the only decision desks that have called Arizona. The speculation is that most have the rule that they won't call a race that is projected to be within the recount margin. This is probably true for Fox and AP as well, but their projection model didn't adequately handle biases in the process induced by the timing of the counts of historically large numbers of early and mail in ballots.

For most of the battleground states their was a strong blue bias to late returns. Arizona moved modestly red with late returns because they have had a widespread mail-in ballot system for years so Arizona Republican voters weren't swayed by Trump's anti-mail-in ballot rhetoric.

The NY Times has this piece on which outlets have called particular races.

Ha! Then you'd hate the 10,100 sqft monstrosity we just had built. Downsizing doesn't fit into our lifestyle right now. We love to entertain and travel too much. Plus, still have two kids at home and it won't be long before the other kids start their own families. Where are they all going hang out?

What are you downsizing from and where are you now?

Let’s revisit this in 6 months.

Trump's point, not only in the debate but in several rallies, was that the mere news of Biden winning would send markets crashing.

That clearly did not happen. And 6 months form now is an entirely different thing.

What we will have over the period of time after the inauguration is stability and predictability, which markets like.

We will have to cope with large market segments failing and the chain reaction that will cause. Travel and entertainment will stay down and that will hurt.

A McConnel controlled senate would prevent stimulus relief and it will hurt many low earners.

But Trump was way wrong on the market reaction to a Biden win.

CORRECT! Trump is an idiot. Biden gets no credit for the up market since his election (other than perhaps the TINIEST bit since Wall Street basically said they would like him to win). The uptick it due to what you just said L L...stability and predictability.

Downsizing will be the order of the day...not to save money, but to be gentler to the environment. Smaller house, electric cars, smaller carbon footprint...those are in The Lovely Mrs. Flagpole's and my future.

Good luck with the sale though.

Good for you!

In Atlanta, EV's can ride in the carpool lane even when you only have one person in the car. Also, you get to ride in some toll lanes for free.

Maybe to check out Atlanta, you should come down for July 4th and the Peachtree Road Race. It's the largest 10K race in the world (60,000), and easily my favorite race. It's so big that I know a guy who ran the race, got his T-shirt, then took MARTA back to the start, met up with some friends, and ran it again.

The race is put on by the Atlanta Track Club, which is the second largest running club in the US after New York Road Runners. So there is a very good running community here.

Yeah, a big house like that isn't for me. One of my kids is out of college with a job and the other is in college but obviously not home most of the time.

I don't want to get into how massive my house is. I live in Ohio. I hate winter. My house has two floors and a basement. I don't want either of those things in the future. I mean, I DO plan to be really old one day, and there's no need for an old person to navigate stairs. I had an aunt who fell to her death down a flight of stairs on Christmas Eve. She wasn't super old at the time, but she had mobility issues. Death that way happens more often than people think.

I appreciate the thought and info. I've got a couple years yet...want my son to finish college before we consider where to retire. Lots of things could change our plans...health of parents, all four of whom are either 80 or close to it and all live in Ohio. Was really just thinking out loud about Georgia...the political climate there is a plus in its favor for us. I really will consider it. Oddly enough, The Lovely Mrs. Flagpole said the same thing to me about Georgia just a few minutes ago, and we hadn't talked about it yet. Both of us are just impressed with how Georgia has done so far in this election cycle.

Most reports coming in are indicating the recession won't be nearly as bad as originally thought. If you're a struggling service industry worker then it sucks worse than usual but that's about it. Like agip said, the majority opinion is that the economy will be strong through 2021

$2 Trillion in new savings.

10% of GDP, ready to be spent.

That is a ton of money heading for corporate cash registers..

from 2016, Rs have done a 180 degree change. m@ga is a powerful drug

That could very well happen. People have put off vacations, even driving to see family members, they have done a lot less eating out and just going out in general. I won't like it called "Biden Boom" though. It's all situational. Biden will benefit by coming in just as a possible effective vaccine is made available, but it won't be due to anything in particular that he does. Biden will restore our credibility around the world, will hobnob with the right world leaders will add dignity and class back to the White House, but he won't have a big effect on the economy. Almost no presidents do. Trump had a negative effect on the economy simply because he bungled the coronavirus response. According to Allan Lichtman (and I don't disagree), Trump would have won if not for the coronavirus.

So, in a very real way, the virus got rid of the cancer in the White House.

Who was it on the thread who thought Trump would lose authority after Trump is out of office?

Here, Trumps are trying to literally do a takeover of the RNC.

That would institutionalize Trumpism. And who is going to stop them? No important R opposes Trump (except Romney)

We're in for a world of merde.

I'm not clear on how these statements are consistent.

Ohio? Ooof. I spent a lot of time all over that state years ago. No way I could ever live anywhere in that area. No wonder you are looking at getting out of that sh!thole.

And, wow, how old are you that you are worried about falling down the stairs to your death?

Worried about taking care of your parents and in-laws.

Worried about kid finishing college before retiring.

Not wanting to move to an area because of the "political climate."

Man, it sounds like you are just one of those people who are set in their ways, afraid to pull the trigger because "what if?" My advice is to live your life. Otherwise, those what-ifs are going to keep you from living a good life. You'll be stuck in the same town, in the same house, at the same job, never retiring, never traveling the world all because "what if."

Rigged said Fox would have to walk it back. I said they wouldn't at the time. I still think that and I think Biden will hang on but I do now think Fox made a mistake calling it so quickly - I don't think they thought it would end up being as close as it is there. I wonder who will get fired over there?

I could be wrong. It happens with a depressing frequency.

But I'll admit that my emotional prediction of a hard, hard year is colored by more than the economy. I'm a track coach.

I'll take your quals as a track coach over "wall street economists" every day of the week.

There is only one thing that you can be certain of with respect to economists - they are ALWAYS wrong.

Smorburn is gay bird? That is why he hates me so much. I am best looking guy here and he can't have me. Maybe Flagpole as consolation prize will fish for that. I don't do gays Smorburn,. Stay away from me.

Markets go up after an election regardless of who is elected. The stability and predictability has to do with just KNOWING who the president is. It has nothing to do with the fact that Biden was elected. Trump would have gotten a similar bump if he had been elected. The markets just don't like uncertainty.
