Trump now has 276 electoral votes for sure. Now he's completely guaranteed the presidency. Meme magic is real.

So who here follows FiveThirtyEight? Easily the best coverage of the election in statistical terms, and probably the best coverage of the election, period. They have a forecast which tracks the candidate's percentage chances of winning...

Before I leave I rate, I suggest you don't use Smogon analysis descriptions to describe your Pokemon. Smogon analyses talk about a Pokemon in general, and you want to talk about your Pokemon in particular. You need to use your own words to tell exactly why you chose the sets and Pokemon you did...
