Tell the dems to celebrate now before it goes to court. That way they can at least feel like they won for a little while. Reports of fraud are already rolling in.

You guys all laughed when I told you last week that Trump would win with 278 EC votes. GOP would hold onto a 1 seat majority in the Senate while the Dems would pick up 3-5 seats in the House. Doesn't look like it will be too far off.

Won't hurt my feelings if Trump wins when you look at what he'll be confronted with.
1. COVID out of control. Death toll rising. National healthcare system severely strained.
2. Budgets of numerous states busted due to COVID. It will likely require as new stimulus packing involving heavy federal borrowing to rescue them or let them borrow it requiring state income taxes to increase . or just pass it down to the local and let them figure out what to do . Roads won't get fixed, schools not getting enough support. Numerous essential public services badly underfunded.
3. Globally. Trump doesn't scare Xi, Putin or Kim.
4. Civil unrest. Can't send federal troops everywhere. Not enough of them to go around.....Unless he activates the draft.

Remember people often get tired of presidents in their second term making them a lot less successful in that second term.

I find encouragement that Trump was able to win 2016 and come this close in 2020. If we can find a candidate that in the future that can articulate the message and not be a maroon all hope is not lost.

I'd easily vote for a good Republican Presidential candidate over Kamala in 2024. Absolutely no question.

You don't understand that Trump won, and none of the other Republicans could have.

In 2016 or 2020.

Don't worry about Harris win or lose . Worry about John Hickenlooper and Mark Kelly. In fact some Reps are saying that Kelly is the one they are most concerned about and in their opinion is the strongest Democrat going onto the national political stage.

I like Kelly a lot more. But would Kamala step back after having taken over after Joe inevitably dies or is unable to do the job?

Hickenlooper seems pretty meh to me. Probably haven't seen enough of him.

You realize the National Guard has a Federal Mission and can be activated under Federal Orders, right? States can't afford to fund their own schools or Militaries without Federal Assistance. No need for a draft, there will be plenty of volunteers.

Notice what I said Federal troops . Could be NG or regular military. Volunteers willing to take up arms against their fellow citizens? I doubt it.

Might want to wait for the last twenty million votes to be counted fren.
Did hear the latest? USPS only managed to deliver 66% of Philadelphia's mail yesterday. When it comes to Pa Trump is sitting in the catbird seat but Pa has 3 days to count all mail in ballots that are post marked 11-3-20.

Correction:

They have 3 days to continue postmarking fraudulent ballots.
