First: The polls are shifting in the last days before the election, just as they did in 2016. From Townhall, If New Batch of Polls are Correct, Trump Will Soar Past 300 Electoral Votes. Check out the polls cited there. They include Michigan (Trump 48/46), Pennsylvania (Trump 49/47), Wisconsin (Trump 50/49), Florida (Trump 49/45), and so on. We are at the point where polls are pretty much meaningless, but I dont think it is coincidental that 2020 is just about a carbon copy of 2016.
Most mainstream pollsters gave Biden a big lead early, I think for the purpose of aiding Democratic fundraising and discouraging Republicans, and then, in the last days before the election, they show the race tightening to within the margin of errorI suspect because they have changed their weighting of responsesso that no matter what happens, they cant be wrong.
Second: I was on a call this afternoon with senior representatives of the Trump campaign. They appear to be confident of victory. They went through the early voting in each swing state, comparing Bidens pre-election day lead with Hillarys early voting lead. They also compared Bidens early-vote lead with the margin they expect President Trump to rack up tomorrow. If their model is right, Trump will win.
Of course, we all know not to trust models; but still, the Democrats anxiety suggests that they may be looking at similar calculations. On the call, the campaign officials talked about the Democrats Red Mirage plan that I wrote about earlier today. They claim to know that the Democrats are already, among other things, preparing television ads to address the likelihood that as of tomorrow night, Trump appears to have been re-elected.
Four votes from my house, one of which is my youngest, who turned 18 in time to vote in this, his first election.
ALL 4 ballots were straight Republican, even if we did have to write-in a couple candidates.
I checked with my state Sec. of State website, and all 4 ballots were accepted.
Some of that 28% are peeved small business owners who were attacked and looted by antifa / BLM in the summer.
Black men think Trump is cool and Biden is a complete joke, at this stage in his life
They’ve seen Trump do good stuff for the black community, and Biden comes off as near senile condescending latent racist party hack

God pretty much wants us to do the right thing here on earth....don’t put this on HIM....its up to us to get it done..
Seriously, though, I am relying on my faith in God..for no matter what happens.
I heard George Burns say that in a movie once.
Praying that your knee replacement goes well.
Thanks, Buckeye. My husband gets to be with me this time...so he may try to bogart some of the painkillers for Election Day Pain. :)
Just this election or is he responsible for all the past ones too? If so, I've got some words for him.
Well said cherry!
God gave us a brain for a reason..to use it.
And he gave us strong bodies...to use them for good purpose.
Which is why I do not run to God every time I am in trouble.
He has already done enough for me by giving me life, a brain and a strong body.
Read my post in response to Right Way Right.
God gave us a brain for a reason..to use it.
He also gave eyes too, right? So that my post in response to Right Way Right could be read? Go back and read it, and then decide whether the words therein indicate that I "run to God every time I am in trouble". Thanks.
Of course you're free to say anything you want to God. I'm just not sure it's a real wise thing to do.
My wife went from disliking Trump in 2016 to voting for him. My daughter went from making Trump jokes in 16 to voting for him. My oldest daughter is staunchly conservative and most of her 20 sometyyear olds voting Trump.
I became a US citizen after being inspired by Trump and have voted for him. My other two kids would probably vote trump if old enough.
Trumps Rallys = Leverage... 20k people or more 5 times a day... enthusiasm, momentum, leverage.... huge.
Biden a few dozen people 12 miles from his house... nothing
Praying that the Good Lord will bless you tomorrow and guide the doctors and staff.
I have several friends who have had knee replacements. A couple of them had double replacements. All of them have said the recovery was hard at first but they recovered. They have all said they’d gladly do it again. Best wishes.
“God pretty much wants us to do the right thing here on earth....dont put this on HIM....its up to us to get it done..”
Yep, It’s called Free Will!
God has no favorites. He loves republicans, democrats, conservatives or liberals. He wants us to strive for what we want and work our butts of to achieve it. That is why he gave us a brain and strong body. By counting on God to intend something favorable to you, you assuming he favors your agenda. All human beings are God's children and he loves them equally. He does not play favorites.
He doesn’t favor baby killing hedonists over people who love and obey Him.
Nice try though.
