Putting all of his eggs into the election day basket is a terrible strategy. All sorts of things can happen on election day to dissuade voters from going to the polls. In some areas, the weather will be bad. Some people will be sick on election day. Some people leave work late and are tired, they don't feel like waiting in line. Some people will have a problem pop up in their life to deal with. Things have gotten so bad I'd count a Conservative party that's not actively trying to undermine democracy, doesn't deny the reality of Climate change, and has an economic platform that's not just 'loot the country' as a major win for the long term prospects of our country.

Plus the uncertainty of maybe a second wave or upticks with coronavirus have people playing it safe and voting by mail (as it should be!). I do not want to be in a coronavirus hotbox waiting in line to vote--mask or no masks. Screw that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also if his base sees that he is losing by a huge landslide in early polling, they might just not bother to make the effort for a lost cause. Hopefully.

Posted October 16, 2020 Talking about General John Kelly According to CNN with Jack Tapper, he told friends: “The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 17, 2020 https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-threatens-to-leave-the-country-if-he-loses-to-biden?ref=home Cool, I hope the government seizes all of his assets if he tries to leave the country, though hoping that he takes his Cult with him is probably asking a bit much. Also I must of misjudged Biden, as I had no idea he was "worst candidate in the history of American politics".? I'm writing a philosophy book!

He makes fun of people like Biden who were wise enough to frequently wear a mask, and yet not only did Trump himself got himself sick, but also look at how many in the audience are wearing masks of various sizes themselves.

Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) @Hardkill@ suddenly all Trumpists have realized the importance of masks at his events. At least this time around, Trumpists are careful and wearing masks at his superspreader event. That's some change.

Posted October 18, 2020 I predict a very close election with a Trump victory and a huge scandal, bigger than in 2016. Let’s be honest & realistic, I may be wrong tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you base this on, with all the poles of early voting showing Biden winning with the largest percentage in election in American history? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though I do agree that it is very likely (~90% probability) if not extremely likely (~95%) that Trump will lose, I still feel like too afraid to believe that Biden will 100% win.

Posted October 18, 2020 @Jed Vassallo 1. Can we really trust polls after 2016? 2. Could these polls be made to show Biden as favorite to get people to vote for him? (As they did twice against Bernie, and perhaps once against Trump?) 3. If Biden is to win by a landslide, why are his rallies so empty? (as opposed to Trumps’, Pences’, Bernies’, and even Hillarys’ in 2016) 4. Remember Trump won’t give in easily, he’s got something planned . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
