    It's a felony to intentionally disrupt the mail. The reports coming back from major distribution centers are complete bedlam. I hate to say it, but this course of action never even occurred to me.

    I will be ecstatic to be proven wrong. I just don't think I am at this point. (I was, also, only referring to the Presidential election.)

    If we could flip a couple of those bastions-of-red, that would certainly help the Blue Wave in November. We should also keep an eye out for the Senate - at least five GOP held Senate seats have Democrats leading.

    Arizona
    Colorado
    Georgia
    Iowa (!)
    Maine
    North Carolina

    Actually, that's six - I didn't know Iowa was close. We're going to lose Alabama for sure. So we need five seats flipped to guarantee the Senate flips; four if Biden wins the White House.

    If Biden wins and dems keep the house (likely), but the senate stays red that does hamper things for two years. But, there's a tremendous amount of good that can be done without the senate. A lot of what Trump and republicans have broken can be fixed without the senate.

    There's a significant number of people who are angry with the Republican leadership in Iowa. Kim Reynolds is a water carrier for Trump, and generally incompetent, the corona virus began to chip away at the hold the GOP had in Iowa, then with the Derecho, it might be curtains for Trump here.

    In other news...holy shit, Iowa. Guess we see where the next COVID-19 outbreak is.
    Funny thing about Rasmussen, they called the EC for Clinton.
    They also called it wrong in the popular vote.

    Then they scrubbed their web site.
    But gg wayback machine still has a cashed version of it.
    Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!

    South Carolina is really close for its senate race as well.

    The more I read these forums the more sad I get when I realize it's the same dozen or so lefties that live in this alternate reality where Trump is some evil monster that has destroyed this country. His speech last night could have been absolute perfection and you same people wouldn't give him credit for anything lol. Hopefully one day you guys will come back in the real world and join us in reality instead of this fantasyland you live in.

    On topic: Trump's rating is now lower than Biden's.

    Oh, sorry, I was using Google Translate to convert to Rabid Fanbase. In English, that's ratings. Trump's speech had lower ratings than Biden's.

    An estimated 19.9 million Americans watched Trump's speech on television, while Democratic nominee Joe Biden drew 21.7 million viewers the week before.

    Who needs speeches? We have the last 3.5 years. We have out of control Covid-19. We have 180k dead. We have 28M unemployed.

    Indeed. A few others are pretty close as well. Those six (SIX!) are just the ones that have GOP incumbents who are currently behind in the polls to their Democrat challengers.

    And he didn't even use our house as a backdrop for the speech. He gave it in small little Delaware. Very sad.

    Just to add, Delaware is where my family is so I feel more connected than ever. Wilmington is literally 20 mins from where I used to live.

    The place where he had his speech, was where my graduation was held.

    For bonus lols, Trump also apparently had lower ratings than Pence. PENCE. A bigoted block of wood.

    EDIT: I'm going to have to walk this one back. I can't find the original source I saw on this earlier this morning and I'm finding nothing else that says that, so my bad. We'll have to settle for Trump losing his own game against Biden.

    Makes sense. They didn't listen to Trump's speech, they got their info about the speech filtered and neatly regurgitated through the leftist media sources. This is what they call being informed. They are the reason I'm am so looking forward to November 3rd. The Trumplisde cometh, and it will cause a meltdown of epic proportions.
