In the final days before the election, Joe Biden holds significant advantages in polling and fundraising over President Trump along with myriad options for a party desperate not to repeat the mistakes of 2016 but also tantalized by a potential “blue wave.” Mr. Biden’s campaign believes he is in a position to reclaim traditionally Democratic ground and expand the map, potentially running up the Electoral College score in purple and even red-leaning states.

Now we know why there was such a massive push to secure EARLY mail in votes and invititation to request mail-in ballots-- the ABSOLUTE CORRUPTION of the deals on Hunter's Macbook!
THEY KNEW it would come out, and the federales KNEW that they would try to run ANOTHER "let's get the demonrat socialist in and we can COVER our butts" game like they did in 2016 with Hitlery!
Only an historic Trump LANDSLIDE will permit this corruption to be rooted out--
All of the Barr/Durham investigations must come out after the President's re-election to do what is necessary.
EVERYTHING depends on turnout, and all the money in the world for TV ads won't work if we turnout in larger numbers than the demonrats!

OK, listen up...
It’s the MESSAGE, not the MONEY!!!
You may keep most of the money that’s leftover, Joe, while a real man who retains his position as PRESIDENT, and still takes no salary, saves the world.

President Trump is going to win more than 304 electoral votes and he's going to win the popular vote. As BLM (Biden's Laptop Matters) twice as many internet searches are researching the Hunter Biden laptop scandal than any other topic discussed at the 2nd debate.
Biden lost his mind yesterday and admitted the Democrats have an on-going, well organized voter fraud operation, .and admitted it was going on in 2012 to reelect Obama.
From now until November 3 we're all going to be shell shocked from the bombshells yet to explode.

I've seen claims that 52 million have voted already. That's nearly half of the number that vote in any given Presidential election. Concerns me, in a way.

At this point I see - Vermont, Massachusetts, RI, Connecticut, NY, NJ, Delaware, Illinois and the four Left Coast states Kalifornia, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii - maybe New Mexico. Otherwise a clean Trump sweep. Where is this Blue Wave?

Democrat campaign analysts are counting on the 69 million voters who first voted for Obama and Biden in 2008 to be there to put Biden over the top again.
After all, that's a huge number, much greater than Trump's 63 million return voters.
Except that's not really the way things work.
(1) The Democrat turn out in 2018 was very consistent with their historic mid-terms... for the last century!
(2) The Republican turnout in 2018 was consistent with historic mid-terms prior to 2016! (a suspicious number in fact)
(3) 13 million of the people who first voted for Biden in 2008 ARE DEAD! Yup, voters die, particularly older voters! This factor is rarely dealt with effectively by anyone but the guys who want funds for voter registration drives to replace those dead voters!
(4) 4 million of the people who first voted for Trump in 2016 ARE DEAD. Hey, even Republicans die.... but Trump believes in voter registration drives, and he's on one now! DOWN TO THE WIRE
That leaves Biden 53 million former voters to count on, but it also leaves Trump 59 million former voters to count on!
MY WORD, that's a 6 million voter advantage for The Donald!
Can he win with that sort of lead? It's not reflected in the polls.
The key problem is the definition of LIKELY VOTER ..... which turns out to be very difficult. But all the pollsters think LIKELY VOTERS are more likely to vote than just REGISTERED VOTERS.
My addition to the analysis is RETURN VOTER.... There are MORE Trump voters coming back than there are Obama/Biden voters!

Biden is only popular with white liberals who want to feast off the government or use political power to control everyone. But Democrats depend on getting lopsided support from minorities. Everything I see and hear says his support with the blacks, hispanics, and LGBQT is tepid at best, with Trump making significant inroads.

I drove through a heavily Democratic town the other day, the town where I grew up. I was driving in the Black/Hispanic part of town and was stunned to see 4 Trump signs in a 2 block area, and NO Biden signs. Something is definitely up

I no longer view the WSJ as valid on any level. It’s just another MSM hack. :-)

I live in MA 9For only another month, God how nice it is to say that!!) and have many liberal freinds. Of the very few that can discuss politics without actually foaming at the mouth I am absolutely stunned at what they believe.
They see a massive blue wave, after all nobody (except me) that they know is going to vote for Trump. They expect landslide wins in FL, PA, MI, WI, OH and FL. They expwct to run the table in open Senate seats. They expect to turn Alabama purple and argue fervently that the Democrat party has about an 80% chance of taking Texas.
TEXAS
No amount of argument can convince them that the race is even close, they honestly think Trump will win all the "racist" state in the deep south and nothing else. They honestly expect Biden to carry 45 states.
Its mind boggling. They are so marinated in the corrupt MSM that they cannot even contemplate an alternative viewpoint. They consider me that eccentric, slightly goofy but harmless uncle who just shows up at holiday gatherings.
What so boggles my mind is that these are some very intelligent people, engineers, people who design missile guidance systems, doctors and (maybe not that surprising) lawyers and people with lots of letters after their names. Yet they exhibit this one absolute blind spot.

And yet he's running TV ads in California. Why?
Just to spend the ad money so his handlers get paid?

Ha! The democrats made the same big mistake they made in 2016. They chose a crooked, flawed candidate who has no presidential qualities whatsoever and can't understand why they can't push a crippled horse over the finish line.

Not too many people put out signs where I live, but of the few I’ve seen, there have been about 6 Trump signs and 4 Biden signs. A few days ago, I was surprised and happy to see a Trump-Pence sign in our Jewish next door neighbors yard.
