Yes. Open the flood gates then. If he can do it so can we. Right?

As you further know, there is no winning the EC with a popular vote loss in that range.
Maybe for the polls taken two days before the election. Not based on he polls taken a month or. No sir. Those polls were not even close.

And as you know full well (maybe not?), the polls tightened dramatically in Trump's favor just before the 2016 election.


Coincidence? I think not.

This is a kool aid cult.

Yeah sure, we're the cult.


Not you brainwashed scaredy cats that allowed unconstitutional lockdowns and the job losses of millions of your fellow citizens over a virus with a .13 mortality rate.

Of course, which is why you will note the operative word "currently" in my post.

That said, Biden's lead has been the most stable in the history of modern presidential politics, totally unlike 2016, and Trump is running out of time to change the dynamic which he needs to do in a big way.

If medical experts say this, then ok.

Uuumm...unless his lead was like, never really there to begin with.


But our media companies owned and controlled by Democrats would never lie to us, to try to suppress Republican turnout, right? Eeerr...oh wait.

What it should mean is adults can decide for themselves what to do and take the precautions they think are right for them !!!

oh no way.

Can you at least pretend to show some empathy just like Biden does?

You will get more gullible voters to support you.
