Yep, and I'll probably lose. But I'll lose for the worst of all reasons: I made a mistake phrasing the bet - and I did this screw-up on a site dedicated largely to gambling. I should go away just on that basis regardless of the outcome.

 

Because of gerrymandering, I've still convinced that Democratic candidates in competitive races will overall get more votes than Republican candidates. But I failed to say "competitive," didn't I? And there are several Republican districts, largely in places no sentient human being would ever want to live or visit, that had only a Republican on the ballot. So they get 100%.

 

So yeah, the time is near, and I must face the final curtain. And like I said, if I win I lose, and if I lose I win.

 

And probable congrats to Charles Higgins, for not only winning the bet but for having the balls to stand behind his claims. You didn't qualify for that last thing, did you, Charles?

Mr. P...Surprise! I'm not calling your bet if I win, regardless. I'm awarding you with a Free Play / never-due cage marker on this bet. If you choose to continue participating here should I eventually win ( a final outcome is likely at least a month away), you can as far as I'm concerned. Now that doesn't mean the other conservatives here won't verbally beat you about the head and ears; in fact, I'd count on it, were I you.

 

So, I'm actually potentially punishing you more by awarding comped permission  to stay if you choose to..you get that, right? *l*.

 

Never underestimate the virtue of a compassionate conservative. *eyeroll*

Kind of an interesting way to justify losing by 6 million votes.   "Oh...there were all these races where no one lives who all voted for the only candidate on the ballot who is always Republican..I was only talking about 'competitive' races where there was more than one candidate."

 

I personally didn't feel strongly about it one way or the other.  I thought Republicans would win the House and Senate but had no clue about popular vote.  And why would you expect multiple Republicans to take you up on your bet if no other Democrats have to balls to stand behind your claims too?   Kind reminds me of the old ruse "I won't vote for my guy if you don't vote for yours"  and then make that agreement with 10 people. But you wouldn't try to do something sleezy like that, would you MP?

At least eleventy squillion of those Republican votes were fraudulent. Therefore, Democrats got 10.99 squillion more votes.
