15. I don't see much changing unless we don't vote in huge numbers

rump is painted in a corner. He must continue to keep his base happy. That doesn't play well with that whatever undecided center-right and wavering Republicans that is left. More GOPers are jumping ship every day. Many are seeing him as way too far right from the mainstream and as a petulant child and con man who is unfit for the office. They no longer have an opposing candidate that was perceived to be a lightning rod in Hillary. They have tried to make Joe into an old fart with a failing memory. This has not worked as I type.

Joe's job is simple; sit back and let the orange menace keep making mistakes and looking like an idiot while showing the urgency of our situation (we can't afford four more years of this)...and vote, vote, vote.

If he can keep the distance at 8-9% most all of the swing states will fall our way, especially if we vote. If it goes beyond 9%, even if he cries 'rigged election' it will be a lost cause to pursue that route.
