Biden's Expanded-Map Strategy Carries Risk in Pennsylvania
RCP ^ | 10/29/20 | Susan Crabtree

Posted on 10/29/2020 8:27:28 AM PDT by LisaFab

Vice President Joe Biden this week told reporters he hopes to carry Pennsylvania by the “grace of God” and called it a “big deal to me personally as well as politically.”

His top campaign strategists are more confident — at least outwardly — that Biden would carry the state of his birth because they added final trips for him and for surrogates to the traditionally Republican states of Georgia and Texas while boasting about expanding his electoral campaign map.

Flush with cash, the Biden team is putting up new ads in Georgia, Iowa, and Ohio, another state that few predicted could be competitive for Democrats at the beginning of this election cycle. But the moves are making some Democrats, still stung from Donald Trump’s surprise 2016 victory, very nervous.

Their fear is that if Biden loses Pennsylvania and goes down in defeat, he will have repeated Hillary Clinton’s monumental mistake of trying to run the table instead of bolstering Democrats’ traditional firewall.

Biden may have to emerge from his extended basement nap times once again.

This time Jill is going have to remind him to stop going to the press briefings with his bedroom slippers on.

Maybe it is just the biased polls and media getting to me but I am really starting to worry about this election. I see the early vote #s and they appear promising but I just... I don’t what to believe anymore.

“Expanded Map”
So, he went out of the basement to the kitchen to get some jello?

Take him to the zoo, Jill. Retards really like the zoo.

Biden ads on TV here still outnumber Trump ads by a margin of 3 or 4 to 1 or more.

However, the Trump campaign is airing some new, hard hitting ones while Bite-me is still the same old, same old.

The best Trump add shows Biden's strong ties to China and asks "How is a guy who worked so hard to ship our jobs overseas going to bring them back to America?"

In other words, Trump has Pennsylvania locked up for victory.

Takeaway from the article: "His top campaign strategists are more confident — at least outwardly —"

Seeing more and more cracks in the armor of liberal confidence appearing in the last few days.

The truth will out!

They actually believe their average of polls at RCP. It is like averaging apples and oranges to get crazy bananas. Different samples, different methodologies, different questions, different calculations/measurements = Total Bull Schiff. Let them continue to the believe their tripe.

Biden cannot win w/o PA. Just like Trump cannot win w/o OH & FL. So if they hold serve w/ Biden in PA and Trump in OH & FL then it all comes down to WI, MI, and MN. AZ is the wild card.

These polls are just propaganda disseminated by the Democrats and their toadies in the media. They are meant to discourage turnout for Trump and give the left confidence.
For the next 5 days they will be doubling down on these fake polls. Ignore them!!

I hope and pray they are right. Reagan always said we were only one generation away from the extinction of Freedom. The Left is intent on making sure it happens now.

Don’t follow the polls. The polls are worthless once voting actually starts. Look at REAL vote totals to tell you where the election is going. And the real votes show repubs over performing, and demorats underperforming...both by A LOT.
Want more proof? Look at where the DNC has sent 0zer0 lately. Philly and Florida. Hitlery won Philly with like 70% of the vote. Black participation is down in Philly so that was why 0zer0 was dispatched there and he failed. Trump is UP in Miami-Dade County with high support from hispanics, so another fail.
The DNC really screwed up by pushing early vote by mail. I suspect their most radical supporters voted by mail ASAP and probably voted only for Prez, not worrying about down-ticket races. Those potential votes are now wasted. Now that a Red Tide is building, the DNC is seeing the repubs besting the early vote. Now a Red Tsunami is building for election day, and the DNC is realizing their votes are already in and they wasted A LOT of down-ticket votes that can’t be added now. Their strategy has put the house up for grabs and they are starting to panic because they see a potential repub sweep. The evidence is all around. Repubs are motivated and ARE voting, and demorats are not motivated and NOT voting.

I cannot see the rioting in Philadelphia helping Joe Biden. IMHO it can only help Trump and that is why the media is downplaying it.

Moments ago I heard Biden say, "People say I'm going to shut down the country. That's not true! I'm NOT going to shut down the country ... I'm going to shut down the virus!"

I'm not sure what he means by that ... except that he's going to shut down the country if enough votes can be manufactured for him.

Didn’t he call a “lid” on the last week of campaigning?

So he’s reversed that out of desperation, eh?

The campaign called a lid after his complete disaster during his last campaign stop of that weekend. Look at the video of it. Absolutely brutal. Slurring words, incoherent, making up words and gibberish. Clearly failing mentally. When Trump picked up on this and said Corrupt Senile Joe was waving the White Flag on Life, that is when the campaign HAD to get him back on the trail, no matter what. They are between a real rock and a hard place.

Or as one Freeper noted, averaging summer and winter and getting spring.

“Expanded map strategy?” WTF. In Biden’s case , expanded map means anywhere he steps outside his basement. And so far that leaves him visiting the outhouse and Pennsylvania.

You can believe the polls:

Hillary won by fourteen points in 2016, right?

This video will give you the basic training you need to understand what is actually happening this year:

Facts are your friend.

Leftist mass media propaganda is your enemy.
