I'm watching MSNBC again. It was priceless to see them when they realized Hillary lost- they just kept checking the results again, thinking something, somehow would change.
It is embarrassing how biased these idiots are; dems are blind and can't seem to see the obvious.
Oh Van Jones on CNN was the best for me. This was a whitelash against a changing country. ROFLMAO had me rolling on the floor laughing.

The dude literally cried on national tv that night. Professionalism is one 'ism that is not required belief over at CNN. Got a sexual assault predator and a roid rage wanna be MMA fighter as there two main nightly anchors.
Lol. Cool story man! Make sure to stock up on the alcohol for election night. Not only will the election be called THAT night but it will be a landslide for Trump. ANYONE with open eyes can see things are NOT going Biden's way. No enthusiasm for HIM and his VP, no one shows up to his events, he is campaigning in states Clinton won like Nevada instead of states that are supposedly battleground states like Texas and Georgia. Yep! Gonna be a great night for Americans!
You are failing to recognize the difference between enthusiasm for Biden with enthusiasm against Trump. There are more voters that are sick and tired of his act and want him out as compared to ones that are all in on Biden. 2016 was an anomaly. Hillary was not well liked and was viewed as a continuation of the Clinton/Bush era. People wanted someone new and exciting. Enter Trump.........loud, obnoxious, promising the world. He won for that reason alone.
This year we have 4 years to reflect on and to be able to look at how divisive he has become and made this country. A lot of people are tired of the constant drama. Biden is your grandfather..........nice guy, tells a lot of long winded stories, but he's not going to rock the boat and be tweeting at 3am. He'll get up, go to work, do his job and unless it's a major thing going on you won't hear much about it.
I for one would love to be able to go through a day without having to hear/read about what the President said or did this time. I want to be able to have a conversation about politics without it devolving into what happens on a lot of these threads. i want to be able to walk down the street and not have to roll my eyes at the person coming towards me decked out in MAGA gear like they are a walking billboard. I cannot remember in any other year, regardless of it being an election year, of people walking around as advertisements for a candidate or a sitting president. Never did see a "tear down that wall" t-shirt or flag when Reagan was president. Never saw someone walking around in a Heinz ketchup hat "two things I can't live without...........my Heinz and my John Kerry". I mean most of the Trump supporters look ridiculous in the hats, shirts, etc. I, along with many others, just want a president that we can pay attention to when something happens and not make it a daily exercise in, "oh crap...what now."

That was the peak moment true but I more fondly recall when wolf & co were trying to justify keeping Ohio and FL "yellow" when it was obviously way past the point when they should "call it" red. I admit to re-watching all this for fun maybe once a year since then.
This will be the 13th election Ii've voted in. I haven't missed one since my first in 1968.
My experience tells me Biden's lead will shrink to around 6 points, given a pint or two in either direction.
Since the polls have been steadier, with fewer bounces and none that were real large, this makes me think Biden's lead will carry him to a win. It could, and well may, narrow to 4 points on Election Day; there's still enough time for something to rise up out of nowhere and whack either or both of them.
Any less than 4 points is a dead tossup. 3 points is where the margin of error lies in all polling. When it narrows down to 3, either could win. Past winners have won by 2 points down to .005 point (the 2000 election). But at 3 points, neither one will take it by 3.
All of the above almost always has fractions of a point in it. I rounded them all off.
How steady the frontrunner remains actually determines the winner more often than the numbers. The elections that bounce up and down are most often the ones that are won by very narrow wins.
Almost always, the frontrunner narrows downward and the election narrows around 7-10 days before Election Day.
Almost always in the elections that have bounced around throughout the year-long polling period the winner gets a sudden upward spike in popularity in those 7-10 days. Or the frontrunner collapses in that time period.
If Biden wins by 10 points it would be a landslide. I can't dismiss that possibility, but I just can't see it happening.
All of this is only my observations. I'm not a big numbers guy, but I have a pretty good memory.
If I go with my gut, I'm usually not surprised, but there have been elections when I wanted someone to win so much I ignored what my gut was telling me.
Most elections, I knew who was going to win by around this time. But given everything that's happening right now, there is very little I'm firmly certain of.
The pandemic has sprouted a forest of bad possibilities, and that's the main source of my uncertainty this year.

All of this.
There was a lot of Hillary hate but we didn't have numerous open letters from former National security officials, retired flag officers of all service branches, a former head of Homeland Security and numerous other former high ranking officials calling the candidate (often the candidate of their own party) a threat to national security and the future of democracy in this country.
I don't claim to know who will win this year but, policy aside, if we as a country re-elect a narcissistic nut-case who spreads QAnon craziness as easily as he spreads divisiveness, I have diminished hope for the future.
Most everyone knows now theres no reason to be voting for Trump unless you're wealthy. He was supposed to have "drained the swamp" and he only made it bigger with idiots, cronies, favors, corporate rich goofs etc.
