Veteran strategists David Plouffe and James Carville join Andrea Mitchell to discuss how they see Election Night playing out. Plouffe says that despite the possibility of late results in a few key states and Election Day shifts, "Joe Biden is as strong as any Democrat has been since Bill Clinton in '96," and Carville predicts that "we're going to know the winner of this election by 10:00 tomorrow night." Aired on 11/02/2020.

Electoral Gridlock: Breaking Down What Election Night Could Look Like | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
Trump, the smell of desperation.
@ODell Simpson No clue but Biden is the lesser of two evils and definitely better than Trump.
@philosophicalreason If the best that you have is “lesser” that’s pretty bad. That withstanding, given Biden’s racist legislative and person comment history I’m not sure he is the lesser.
@ODell Simpson So it’s ok Trump calls Africans Americans “his Africans”,to you that’s ok?
It looks like the polls were wrong again. This country is gone.
This comment hasn’t aged well.🤭
Texas go for joe.
@Arthur Anderson cool! so she really works for you and Putin?
@Michael Wuj I believe you if you admit to being a communist bot who overuses emojis!
@Augie Rockero Don’t have time — got too many crying CCP and maybe some Putin baby bots that I am putting to shame 🤣🤣🤣
@ODell Simpson If only the Republicans can stop people from voting.
🏋🏻♂️🇲🇽🇺🇸💪🏼Mexican Americans for Biden!💙🌊🌊🌊🏄🏻♂️
Good old mainstream ‘both-sides” spew. Carville’s not having any of it.
I’ve ALWAYS like Carville the guy is no nonsense. He’ll say anything.
@Cladrastis Exactly! He wears his street clothes & cap even if he’s appearing in the studio.
Amen! James Carville.
@Tommy Westbrook a lot of people were wrong back in 2016…doesn’t mean thy will be wrong this time around…although numbers look similar…there are quite a few differences…then there was the wave in 2018 that happened….voting numbers were higher than the norm then…and this election the numbers are even higher….still too close to call….if some of those wilfully ignorant trump supporters wake up it certainly won’t help trump…trump’s biggest mistake this time around was his continual out bursts on twitter…even some of his own base are fed up with it…it’s just the wilfully ignorant ones that are left….and if they do start some kind of civil violence should trump lose…they should be charged with treason…remember taking up arms against your own country is treason no ifs ands or butts!!!
@Sask Sun seekers That will be democrats with the out burst if they lose. they have already been practicing for a year them big dummies 1 billion dollars of damage
Harris recently openly endorsed communism in this video tweeted out. Equity vs equality. This communism people. For real!

Income inequality driven by capitalism is worse in the U.S. than it ever was in the Roman Empire. Even the Roman Empire, a society built on conquest and slave labor, had a more equitable income distribution than the U.S. has today.” “Over the last 30 years, wealth in the United States has been steadily concentrating in the upper economic echelons. Whereas the top 1 percent used to control a little over 30 percent of the wealth, they now control 40 percent. It’s a trend that was for decades brushed under the rug but is now on the tops of minds and at the tips of tongues. Since too much inequality can foment revolt and instability, the CIA regularly updates statistics on income distribution for countries around the world, including the U.S. Between 1997 and 2007, inequality in the U.S. grew by almost 10 percent, making it more unequal than Russia, infamous for its powerful oligarchs. The U.S. is not faring well historically, either. Even the Roman Empire, a society built on conquest and slave labor, had a more equitable income distribution.” — Tim De Chant, Income inequality in the Roman Empire, December 16, 2011, https://persquaremile.com/2011/12/16/income-inequality-in-the-roman-empire/

“[T]he tattering of the American Dream is causing individuals who expected more out of life to self-destruct in record numbers. In my mind, there is a connection between the skyrocketing suicides, drug addiction, and binge drinking we’re seeing across the country and the fact that Americans are struggling so much financially. As the divide between the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ grows ever wider, one could assume that 99% of the population feel that overcoming economic inequality is insurmountable. Many Americans are hopeless and resigned to the fact that they may never live the American Dream or become part of the 1%.” — Christopher Bergland, Psychology Today, https://goo.gl/K9attH

“Why You Will Never Be Rich.” What are your chances of becoming rich? … Most people who earn the big money have a university education. … Many tech entrepreneurs drop out of universities but most of them grew up in affluent families where they were afforded all kinds of comforts and opportunities poor people are not. In Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers, he points out that there are no self-made millionaires. Most people were helped with luck on the way and often this luck meant support of parents, good schooling and having fostered in them that they can do anything they want. … There is a direct affect on how much money you have to how far you go in education. Statistics differ depending on what you read, but it’s thought that around 30 percent of Americans over the age of 25 have a bachelor’s or master’s degree. The Atlantic [magazine] tells us that more than 70 percent of those that went to top universities came from America’s wealthiest families. These guys will no doubt have no problems paying off their student debt if they had student debt. In 2017 Forbes reported that the class of 2016 had $37,172 in student loan debt. If you are not from a wealthy family, then you are already struggling, just when you get going. So, how do you get rich when you come from meager beginnings given that you might have only a basic education or that your education became a financial albatross around your head? Still, back in 2012 a Gallup poll revealed that 28% of Americans expected to get rich at a time in their lives.” https://youtu.be/_RzLP4Z4UJQ?t=52

@Arthur Anderson No, you want to be in the top 1% right? How long have you been serving those in the 1% . Did they trickle down on you yet? Have you been given a piece of that cake? It’s a shame you can’t parse the words that Harris is speaking.
When you are playing chess with an orange monkey, anything is possible!!

Chris james rearden 1. he tanked HRCs campaign using 90s tactics. 2. He was convinced that Trump was going to drop out of the election in September (WTF?) – sorry he is woefully out of touch.
Trump has no unifying ideas but rather separatist ambitions. US will no longer be a leader of the free world if Biden loses. China and Russia will dominate. While Trump panders to their whims.” Watch the bouncing ball”
Be careful what you wish for. Meet the real Joe Biden:
“To me…for a lot of us, he was a mentor and a friend, and for a lot of us, he was a guide,” Biden said at kkk Robert Byrd’s funeral
“We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
“Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
“Americans aren’t able to distinguish “between a South Korean and someone from Beijing.”
“You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”
“I mean these Shylocks who took advantage of, um, these women and men while overseas.”
“You got the first mainstream African American (Obama) who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
“Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this.”
“If my opponent wins, they’re going to put y’all back in chains.”
“You cannot go to a 7-eleven or a Dunkin Donuts without a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”
“I do not buy the concept, popular in the 60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years.’”
“We [Delawareans] were on the South’s side of the Civil War.”
@James Mendoza – How did he unify half of the USA without any unifying ideas. You could have the most unifying idea of your life and couldn’t get 10,000 behind you…
Hopefully it doesn’t take pennsylvania for Biden to hit 270….let’s pray for a landslide for Biden …vote blue!!
Everyone pray tonight for a blue victory
@Grace, USMC Proud amen ! Our nation depends on it
I’m excited for Trump’s prison sentence
I am ATHIEST but I just praying for JUSTICE for 230000 DEAD …Someone STOP this BLOOD BATH !!
@jaime patena this is the same as they were saying about Hilary remember lock her up was that just posturing
Hmmm, Meet the real Joe Biden:
“To me…for a lot of us, he was a mentor and a friend, and for a lot of us, he was a guide,” Biden said at kkk Robert Byrd’s funeral
“We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

@BlackDawg hey,did your copy and paste job hold up?
@Randall Marsh I have been told that past presidents are afforded some immunity, however Letticia James, the 7th District of New York Attorney General, has a great deal of material on Trump that is within her jurisdiction . It seems that there were many dealings of inflating property values for loans, and deflating property values for Tax purposes. Hmmm interesting, especially when Roy Cohn and Felix Sater are involved. 😎🤣
Republicans: “Democracy is great…just so long as we can subvert it to gain power and maintain our corrupt minority fascist rule!”
Marxism is run by elitists, a smal group. The rest live in poverty

He wouldn’t be in NC if he thought he was winning. It’s turning blue!

Nice points.
We hope.
Trump’s finished .
Has there ever been a time in our history where a political party was so clearly trying to cheat and undermine our democracy?! trump and his flunkies are actively trying to supress voting in battleground states ONLY. How obvious can it be! If u vote for this man you’re openly declaring you’re corrupt.
Pretty darned lot of truth in what you just said!
umm… watergate? bush v gore? don’t let time make you all forget the atrocities of this administration. like the way it was done with GWB.
Bush v Gore was intense

@Deomnibus Dubitandum Points worth noting for sure. At some point it would seem trump has reached to the point where he should be totally disqualified from even being president even if he is elected!
I would walk ten miles in a Blizzard to vote lying Trump out.
the question is will you go on strike if he steals this election. Stay home and paralyze this country until he steps down, and takes that white catamite Putz with him.
