This is what the map could look like after election day

If support and early voting trends for Democrats continue to rise. I don't want to jinx things so we must still fight like we are ten points down and as broke(n) as Trump's campaign. But if the good Lord is willing and the blue creek continues to rise, Biden could hand Trump a defeat the likes of which has not been seen in a presidential election in over a quarter-century.

Voters can smell defeat and fear on a candidate and will flee from him in droves. Trump stinks of the fragrance he most fears, loser, and he is going to drag the Republican Senate majority to hell with him as Larry Sabato has Dems potentially winning 6 Senate seats, and possibly 7.

According to fivethirtyeight.com, Texas, Georgia, and Ohio, and Iowa are all trending blue.

To quote 2016 Lyin' Lindsey Graham, "If we nominate Donald Trump, we will get destroyed...and we will deserve it."

I'd like to take those words and shove them down Lindsey Graham's throat.

It's a miracle that we still have a country after almost four years of the orange POS. I can't see myself ever forgiving repukes for enabling him.

Sorry, I got sidetracked. YES! That map looks awesome!!!

and if, IF, we win, especially by this margin, we need to shove every Democratic priority down their throats and laugh while they choke. Show them no mercy, give them no quarter. Dems need to treat them like they have treated the American people for the last 25 years, with the disdain and disrespect they have earned when they chose to align themselves with Donald Trump over the Constitution and our Country.

I'd love for there to be a 200 point difference between the two candidates. Does that make it a double landslide?

Oct 2020

I looked at states where Biden was up 7% or more and made those likely Democrat. Anything 4% or more I set as leaning democrat. Anything less than 4% I left a tossup because those are within the margin of error

Did the same on the Republican side too

That would leave just South Carolina but that might take a couple election cycles

This is my guess.



I don't think TX and AK* will go. IA and OH are a coin flip so I went conservative and colored them red but Biden could eek out a win there.

* Gross might win the Senate but he is a lot more conservative than Biden.

to the curb. As long as they give us a true blue Senator, I don't care so much if they give their 9 little electoral college votes to trump.

But it is right behind Texas. If there is a blue wave of historic proportions, Alaska could be swept up in it as well. This is a dream map, if everything falls into place perfectly. It won't. But a man can dream.

We look forward to joining Virginia as a dark blue state.

1) I am FIRING tRUMP! And voting Biden in the White House and Senator Harris in the Vice Presidency.

2) Voting for every Democratic candidate running down ballot.

3) Writing in 'Democratic Socialist' when a Republican is running unopposed, including local positions like Sheriff and School Board.

4) And I will research every Judge on the ballot to determine their political views and voting 'no' for anyone with Republican views or appointed by a Republican Governor.

In other words, I will never offer any support for any Republican in the government, law enforcement, school board, or Judge due to their failed views and the devious professional conduct to wrong others.
