The simplest minimum EV ways? Map stays the same except Trump flips only GA and PA, or flips only GA, WI, and AZ, or Celerity Feb 2024 #45

It is unlikely Drumpf gets the flips he needs. Especially with Pennsylvania. LiberalFighter Feb 2024 #50

Still, those are definitely within the realm of possibilities, as opposed to many who say it is basically impossible for Celerity Feb 2024 #61

The Senate elects the VP though Polybius Feb 2024 #66

While it would be amusing NYC Liberal Feb 2024 #67

It means, it would be nice to have a registered Democrat. Emile Feb 2024 #81

The problem is: If an AG comes from the Federal Judiciary or State's Attorney office, their voting records are hidden LeftInTX Feb 2024 #88

Why not nominate from the American Constitution Society Emile Feb 2024 #105

If we don't win back the senate then its likely Marrick Garland jcgoldie Feb 2024 #46

This is true Beausoleil Feb 2024 #48

I think Kaytal would rather spend his time on tv bigtree Feb 2024 #52

Neal Katyal. The best choice Naio Feb 2024 #57
