I know everyone here is gleeful reading trumps [View all]

low poll numbers and recent failures but let's not be fooled come November. I never thought he would come close to winning the 1st time and still am befuddled how it happened. So many stories about landslide victory for Biden might cause lower voter turnout and we need every vote we can get not just for president but all the way down ballot. These stories may be another way these scumbags get low turnout so vote like we're behind . I trust nothing after 2016.
