Nobody can become complacent, or we lose. With all the measures taken to steal the election, this has to be a relentless push through 11/3.

It makes you want to send shovels and bulldozers to the Trump Gang so that they can dig themselves deeper into their pitiful pit so we can cover it over with this election.

538 is up to 85-15.

The experts changed their models, but also the polls that are inputs to the models were changed too to be more conservative. So you've got more accurate input and more accurate models this time around.

So when inevitably someone posts in this thread, but Hillary in 2016 was at 99%, it's not an apples to apples comparison.

Can the predict models be way off again? yes, but it's extremely unlikely this time around.

And Joe is outperforming her in every possible way right now with 26 days left.
