Well, not everyone. I was pretty vocal saying it was going to be a squeaker IF we won, and that I thought there was a pretty decent chance that we wouldn't win. Of course, that's never popular here, but I prefer to be a realist vs. the "Trump's gonna sweep 49 states and win 499+ EVs!" or even the "350+ EVs - MINIMUM!" that we read far too often.
I realize we're the cool-aid crowd but at times the optimism here does get a bit out of hand when you compare to the cold hard reality of the messed up country we currently live in..
Thank you! I got off the board last nite and I actually felt better seeing those totals from PA come in.
What a way to wake up...
I’ve warned that the country has changed for a lot time to everyone around me (not just here). It’s true. The America we loved is GONE!
You can shot me down, call me negative, call me clueless. It doesn’t matter. I’m NOT happy about any of it.
sob :(
Indeed. And the problem with irrational mania is that, when disappointed, it leads to irrational depression. I think it’s a little better than 50-50 that Trump pulls it out, but even if he doesn’t, there are a lot more fronts to this war than just the Presidential election.
We’re holding the Senate, we’ve picked up seats in the House, we’ve picked up state legislatures, and we control the Supreme Court. There will be no Green New Deal, court packing, assault weapons ban, or tax hike. Biden, should he win, will not be an effective president and will probably not be president for long. Can you imagine the lengths to which they will have to go to hide him as President? If Harris succeeds to the Presidency, she will be ineffective and deeply unpopular. And if she succeeds to the Presidency, McConnell will have a say in who, if anyone, is appointed Vice President.
Both because of our advantage in redistricting and because of history, we will probably take back the House in 2022 if Biden wins. If so, I sure expect them to impeach Biden and/or Harris on whatever grounds they can find—election fraud for starters.
Whether Trump wins or loses, this isn’t over by a long shot.
