Trump's COVID-19 meltdown fuels Republican fears of Democratic sweep in November: Lindsey Graham's senate race moves to 'toss-up' and Biden goes 51-40 in Florida in the wake of last week's presidential debate and President Donald Trump's diagnosis

Good thing we have a neutral, unbiased media which presents the facts to enlighten voters instead of scaring and misinforming them, eh?

Oh, yes, of course...

What CoVid-19 “Meltdown”? Trump has defined himself as an true American - a man willing to take risks for the sake of liberty. As he has brilliantly done so many times in the past he has forced his opponents to define themselves as the really are - fear-mongers seeking to use this virus to destroy the American middle class and take all of our liberties.

It’s all about any further stimulus. The economy is still wrecked. Formerly good paying jobs are being replaced by part-time minimum wage work according to most surveys done. Even call backs resulted in hours and wages being cut as part of being allowed to return. All with no benefits, are the return typically was part-time only.

Who considers Walter Read a “meltdown” ? Ds and media, but I repeat myself.

Post Walter Read it’s Superman-like.....here to save the day....in many minds anyway.

My first thought: meltdown? There’s no meltdown. Then after a look at Rasmussen,...

44% approval. Yuk. What’s going on with the depressing surveys?

Rush mentioned an interesting thought the other day.

He mentioned that 16 point lead, and reminded folks there
has never been that lopsided a presidential election.

This percentage would indicate that sort of a blow-out,
and that's clearly not going to happen.

The idea that Biden is ahead that far is an absurdity beyond belief.

Here are the stats for the 1972 election.

Nominee 	  Richard Nixon   George McGovern 	
Party 	          Republican 	  Democratic
Home state 	  California 	  South Dakota
Running mate 	  Spiro Agnew 	  Sargent Shriver[a]
Electoral vote 	  520[2] 	  17
States carried    49 	          1 + DC
Popular vote 	  47,168,710 	  29,173,222
Percentage 	  60.7% 	  37.5% 
It would be normal for folks to state that was a 23.2%
spread, but it wasn't.

An 11.6% + 1 vote shift would have given McGovern the
victory, if they had been disbursed the right way.

For Biden to beat Trump by 16%, he would have to achieve
a roughly 66% + 1 vote, to 34% - 1 vote margin of
victory.

The absurdity of the claim Joe is leading by 16% is pure
nonsense.

Spread and percentage lead are two different things.

It only takes a 16.6%+1 shift to beat a 33.2% spread.

Biden in his wildest dreams knows this isn't in the works.

I just don’t see it. I’m visiting my Mom in Myrtle Beach for a couple of days and I see Trump all over the place. I flew through DFW and while waiting on my flight, I saw two Trump hats and no biden paraphernalia. I live in Arizona and I see A LOT of Trump stuff even in Tucson. Trump stuff WAY out numbers biden stuff in Tucson and Sierra Vista. They are clearly trying to shape the battlefield with the polls even at this late date.

If Graham wasn’t such an unreliable Rino squish he wouldn’t be in such trouble.

Lot's of talk on local radio of the trouble Graham is in. I think dragging his feet on getting the Russia hoax traitors in the hot seat before the senate committee has hurt him. Little to no hearings and totally ineffective. That and other things are hurting him. I've seen FB ads pop up of him begging for dollars and they're horrible ads. Plus there's this:

Anti-Graham ad

Now he's got the Amy Coney Barrett nomination hanging over his head and I'd bet a year's pay that if he doesn't get her nomination through the committee quickly and along with McTurtle to get her confirmation through by the end of October, not only will he be toast, but so will Republicans' control of the senate. Just IMHO.
