The last 2 and a half - from the election to inauguration of the next president is going to be a rough ride.

7. That period will be the most chaotic of Trump's presidency. POSOTUS will not go quietly, it won't

be a peaceful transition. Despite the dangers, it will be a time of delicious shadenfreude for the left. Trolling Trump will become an art form.

11. I am pissed at the deaths especially the racial breakdown but all unnecessary

I know it’s not cement in stone but I’d bet the majority dying are democrats. I know nobody is saying that but I just have this feeling and for Michigan especially where trump won by so little, everyday death adds one less then he needs to win the state again. Yes I know we did well in 2018 there but he was not on the ballot. I remember after President Obama won in 2008, we lost a lot of elections up to 2012 when the republicans thought for sure Romney was going to win because they won so many prior to that election. Did not happen and President Obama won re-election. I hope that does not happen this time.

about not self-quarranteening and wearing masks and social distancing that they might not even make it to the election. Wouldn't that be something!

Watch his threats and grabs for more power escalate, along with his corruption. He will be threatening us all, and intentionally doing things hurting us, even his own supporters. He has a pattern of doing this when he doesn't get his way. He may , if either his taxes will be released , or the full un-redacted Mueller report gets released find getting re-elected impossible , unless he corrupts Justice Roberts decisions , and he helps him keep it from exposing him, and others. If trump go bonkers soon he may be getting info they will rule against hiding these for him. Wonder how many times trump has called him , or had others call for him trying to corrupt him one way or another? I can hear him saying can you look the other way on these for me.

No confidence and an election. Instead, we have to wait it out.
