The Killa Con cannot recover from Joe's current 10 point lead.

He was my first choice in 2008. I'm so pleased that so many people are starting to see what I've seen for years.

(47,711 posts)People I know who have met him in person, say his warmth and humanity is genuine. What a thrill to have a photo with him, such a wonderful keepsake!

(15,424 posts)...to overturn the legitimate results is becoming next to impossible. This is going to be a stinging defeat the makes the remaining rats ready to flee the ship, rather than staying to take part in trying to prop up this failure.
The only ones who'll be left to fight hard for Trump are the ones who face criminal charges when Trump's protection goes away.

Felling good that NC, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania and Arizona will flip. Michigan & Wisconsin are in the bag.

(45,615 posts)not DUers of course, but ordinary Dem voters in swing states might decide it's over already and not vote.

(34,517 posts)People I don't even know like store clerks seem jazzed up about it. I wear my Biden mask & get a thumb's up and "I can't wait to vote" or "I already voted" from people. Everybody is saying that Michigan is going to be close, but I'm not so sure. Women are furious and want that thing gone. We'll see in the coming days, but I'm hopeful.
I got a friend who has never voted in her life to register and vote. She's handicapped and thought her vote "didn't matter." I told her that the 2016 vote came down to 2 votes per precinct for trump and that's what convinced her. Her husband always voted, but she never would. I see it as a small victory. Her husband dropped off her ballot in a dropbox this morning.

(269,256 posts)and he won over and over. They played for Cadbury's chocolates. How we loved Friday evenings when he'd come over and share the winnings. .
I'm going with happy bridge memories

(28,891 posts)I enjoy bridge because it keeps my mind active.
One of my teachers says it helps both the brain
and the body.
I tend to agree with that. Only one of the bridge
players at my club has caught Covid. That's
pretty amazing considering almost all of us are
old geezers and geezerettes, lol.

(269,256 posts)His brother went to Howard - both were Garveyites.
We have good friends who had to cancel their Friday night domino games because one of the group (all over 70) was exposed to Covid.
Stay safe and enjoy the game

(6,139 posts)There is no need to be so worried prematurely. I already feel better today. Lets keep in mind that up to 13% of registered repubs plan to vote for Biden (if not already). I dream of a Bidens landslide and the election to be over on election night.

(67,782 posts)If I change just four states, MN, WI, MI, and PA, Biden gets to 272! That still leaves as "toss ups" NV, AZ, GA, FL, IA, NC, TX.
If Biden wins FL and NC, he goes to 316. Throw in AZ and NV and he's up to 333.
And if I give TX, OH, GA, and IA to trump, he's still only at 203. Change FL to trump and it's 304-232.
Barring any shenanigans Biden should win.

(21,480 posts)that being up by 7 points gave Biden a 93% chance. Even considering all of the fraud and cheating I am putting positive thoughts into the universe. Once that positivity accumulates there is no breaking it apart.

(90,798 posts)but I still think Trump will act out, stir up shit, rile his followers, and attempt to cause problems.
If he simply concedes, I will be surprised.
russiamommy
(244 posts)I keep going back to the simple fact that he won in 2016 by something like 77K votes in three states. If I personally know several people that voted for him in 16 and are now voting Biden, there have to be thousands, if not millions like them. Biden will win.
