I really got sucked in to all the happy talk about

Georgia and Texas.I really wanted to believe. I knew better. Early in the night when Joy Reid said “ even if we lose Texas and Georgia the structure we are creating yada yada yada” I knew we would lose those two. In spite of that Arizona has been a happy surprise and could be what wins the Presidency for Joe. Fingers crossed!
