From the other articles on this website, it’s a very left-of-center publication.

So even the left ‘gets it’.

Never understood how you can take various political polls each taken with different methodologies. Combine them and get a valid average and then say it reflects meaningful information.

The thought was or is that Biden would do better than Hillary because her negatives were very high but Biden’s aren’t or weren’t.

That’s why the fact that he’s been exposed as corrupt is so important. Corrupt like Hillary!

Something about Kamala Harris sitting on top of the glass ceiling with her wares displayed.

Yes, and it isn’t held today! They are basing it on early voting, but the GOP votes on election day and our early voting has crushed their lead. They are down in the black and youth vote.

There were multiple quotable quotes in this delightful article by the only liberal I’ve encountered who is willing to admit some obvious facts (although still steeped in denial and unwilling to let said obvious facts lead to the obvious conclusion of a Trump victory). My favorite came near the end:

“And if the polls are accurate or widen, Biden could win in a blowout.”

Did the author mean to say he could win A blowout? Like what Pelosi got after she was tricked by that salon owner??

The Bye Done Bunker is still issuing press releases—and the useless mass media clowns are still using them.

How many Dems are going to go out and stand in a cold rain to vote?

And how many absentee ballots have ALREADY been sitting in the mail pile for three weeks. Do you really think they are getting filled out as the bills and crap pile up on them?

And really, Americans can’t figure out how to vote for American Idol...do you think they will fill out all those absentee ballots correctly?

This whole thing depends on demoralizing Democrat response rates.

He’s really quite a public speaker... almost like a preacher or motivational speaker, but with a sense of humor. And he brings people up (at least, people who are happy to hear someone speak who actually loves this country.)

I agree. First you have to figure out how to properly apply for a mail-in ballot. Assuming your application is approved and you receive your ballot, you must then carefully read the instructions. Then you have to properly follow the instructions to properly fill out the mail-in ballot. Then you have to properly assemble the mail-in ballot for delivery. Then you have to properly submit the ballot by the deadline. That is just way too much for the vast majority of Democrat voters to handle.

As you said, most Democrats can't figure out how to vote for American Idol, let alone follow all those mail-in ballot steps I just mentioned.

I have great advice regarding this issue for Democrats but I'll hold off until after the election results have been declared official. I wouldn't want to give them any good ideas. ;)

**********************

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

**********************

2 Cor 10:3-6

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Plus with Hillary you had the allure of voting for the first woman president. Sure, she was horrible but that fact alone interested a lot of people. Joe is an old white, corrupt, racist. What is so groundbreaking about him?

“Why Trump Has a Serious Chance of Winning. Really.”

It’s pathetic that adults write articles like teenagers. “Really.”

Hey Laz,
A check on who supports that site monetarily shows that Mr Gates gets a big thankyou for his help. That tells me all I need to know.

With Biden coming up negative with Surburban women and even up with blacks and hispanics this will be a blowout for President Trump.

I’m sorry, but the RCP average is a joke. It’s an average of bad and worse polling for the most part...and as an average of poll numbers it always covers a period of time when the polls were being run, and thus doesn't adequately represent the latest and most immediate numbers - i.e. it doesn't always pick up the direction in which the polls are trending - RCP's are the last numbers I'd pay much attention to.......

I am more confident of a Trump win for several reasons. First, Biden can’t draw a crowd. A Biden rally is only a handful of people. Hillary at least was able to bus in a shill crowd, but the Biden supporters cannot manage that. Trump has genuine grassroots support and draws huge crowd of enthusiastic supporters.

Second, Biden has no energy and paints the future even with him in the White House as bleak. His long dark winter comment is not what people already sick of the COVID gloom and doom and how bad things are. Even FDR during the depth of the Depression and WW-II offered hope and guarded optimism.

Third, Biden in the last debate promised to end the fossil fuel industry and raise taxes. Neither of these play well with anyone other than hard core leftists.

Lastly, Biden attracts votes because he isn’t Trump. The Trump haters are voting for him and are blinded to what a Biden presidency would really mean.
