Wasserman is good.. The republican nominee is going to be Trump, he is going to win most states.

I don't know how anyone can be shocked. This could have been called a week ago.

Still if wasserman is going to ever be wrong about a call it will be this one.

He won’t be wrong about who comes out with more votes though. However I wonder if Haley could make out with more delegates.

Calling it last week would be based on pre-election polls. They can be very wrong. Timing the call today, I would hope would be based on information regarding votes that were cast and in the bank. I was merely saying I had not seen a lot of data, acknowledging Wasserman’s expertise, and musing on how he made his call.

It's over.

Biden vs Trump v2.0... we won once, we can do it again.

GOTV.
