The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What do you predict will happen if Biden stays in? Does he win the popular vote or the EC?

You're right. I should make a prediction there as well.

The backbiting talk stops in the next week or so with people lining up firmly behind him and Biden stays in: He will win the popular vote. It's a coin toss on the EC.

The backbiting continues for more than a month and Biden stays in: Popular vote about 50/50, but he'll lose the EC.

So I only have one possibility for Democrats to win the White House, and that one is slim at best. But all the other options are certain losers in the White House.

In terms of my overall strategy, I'd rather the Democrats win the White House. With the progress the Heritage Foundation has made this week on their work towards a Unitary Executive, I'd rather keep control of the White House than lose the WH and gain both houses of Congress. Congress will have a hard time being a check and balance against the President, and the Judiciary has completely abandoned that role.
