I remember, four years ago, we were all excited about the prospects for “expanding the map” by winning GA or AZ. Some might argue the Clinton campaign put too much effort into that would-be expansion, ignored the upper Midwest “blue wall,” and came away with nothing. I’d like to not repeat the experience. Get to 270 first, then worry about defending the election. Besides, do you think Trump would hold off on charging voter fraud, even in red states? And the latter would be far more likely to take the decision out of the hands of the voters and name Trump electors, anyway, because they’d have a governor who would eagerly sign a bill to do just that.

Biden has over $400 million on hand and raised almost $10 million since yesterday.

The best way to curtail all of Trump's nonsense is for Biden to win states like Texas and South Carolina.

The polls are close in those states and most of these have inexpensive media markets.
