> [@Aeschines](#): > > After Trump kicks the bucket, I think it really will be the cliche of all the robots shutting down a la _The Phantom Menace._ No, sadly, they won’t totally lose power, but the red MAGA light will go off, and they will be confused as to what to do next. “Survive! Survive! Get elected and survive!” they will chatter as they glitch, and I think they will find it difficult to find the next brand and posture with which to grift and attack. We shall put this on the shelf with all of your previous predictions about how Trump is fur sure gonna lose bigly, such as: > [@How can Donald Trump win at this point?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-can-donald-trump-win-at-this-point/1005351/3152): > > Here is my prediction, less than two weeks out. Harris wins each of the blue wall states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania by about a percent and wins one other state, probably either NC or Georgia. This gets her past 270 even if she were to lose a single blue wall state. > > On election night, PA, being in the eastern time zone, has the potential to be called early and will be a bellwether: > > Solidly for Harris or Trump: That candidate definitely wins. > Mildly for Harris or Trump: That candidate probably wins. > Inconclusive before other swing states are called: Harris probably wins, since she has more paths to victory.
