It will not be just one thing but a series of reforms. We must get the extreme politics out of the judiciary. This is pretty much what he has said in referring to his bipartisan commission to study how to balance the court. It provides him cover now and later if he expands the court since he can say it was the result of a bipartisan commission or something similar.

I wonder what happens if the result is disunity and dueling recommendations or a rejection of any sweeping changes. Hopefully the people who are picked are able to come to a consensus and can get along and come up with something that matters and is legally/politically defensible.

At this stage, there aren't enough minds to change, to be worth the effort. But maybe you can inspire people who are leaning your way, to get off their butts in Election Day. Less changing minds, more increasing turnout. And yeah, I've read that there's a lot of Latinos in surprisingly-close-Texas that haven't voted yet. (Which is kinda surprising to me. Four years of listening to Donald Trump encouraging racism hasn't motivated them?) I do wonder whether TV ad buys are an effective way of getting out the vote, as opposed to in-person interaction.

Not equally represented bipartisan panel. You just weight it with Dems and have the report come out to expand the court and you are good to go.

No Excuses Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 There's academic literature on this. Late campaign ads can have a larger effect because they'll target people who may not have voted, but can be persuaded to show up at the last minute. Bloomberg has been doing good work since 2018. His money alone forces Republicans to spend in places they don't want to, and with Biden/Dems raking in huge donations from small donors, this has led to quite a funding advantage for Democratic candidates. At this point, I don't know what else could have been done to take down Trump. And if he still wins, god help us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Trump is doing 3 rallies today. Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska. That's nuts. What are they putting in his Big Macs.

He already dropped a ton in FL, which really depleted Trump's cash reserves combating it. TX and OH are his final push. I think Dems already have massive campaign spending in PA. Not sure about GA. I haven't seen Democrats go really hard after voters in GA, maybe the internals aren't as strong as the polls suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Bloomberg is spending in places where the Biden campaign isn’t currently full tilt spending. Makes sense to me if the campaign is already spending huge dollars in Penn, Mich and Wisc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be able to do that is taxing for anyone, no matter what their age is. And also, the anger he harbors and the anger people direct towards him, it would be a lot for anyone. That said, I do believe he's hopped up on Adderall or other stimulants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read, Trump's path to victory is another year with a polling error in his favor and shenanigans with votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
