Right now Biden has a narrow electoral college lead. If he can take Florida, it is all over. Ohio, North Carolina or Georgia are all considered toss-ups and any of those 3 would also be enough right now. Arizona wouldn’t hurt, it brings 11 EC votes.
Trump has to hold the remaining Red & pink states and win all of the Toss-up states (91 EC votes) and still take a decent size light blue state, lets say Wisconsin.
Now dream a little dream with me. Biden takes all of the toss-ups and Texas, we now have a landslide repudiation of Trump & the current Republican Leadership. 405 to 131 would be the largest margin* in a long time. I doubt McConnell would survive in a leadership role if this happened.
I’ve found I can’t stand listening to his voice any more, even when I’m watching a Sarah Cooper YouTube.
On another note, he’s not seeming quite so orange to me anymore. I’m wondering if he’s toed down the bronzer a little bit is is it me (shudder) adjusting to a new norm?
Is it just me or did anyone else like Marianne Williamson more than some of the more mainstream candidates? I read her book “A Return To Love” and thought that it was surprisingly good. Plus, she had a great vibe in the debates even though she was a bit New Age-y for the tastes of most. I never did find out why Richard Ojeda dropped out so early, even before there were many other people running for the Democratic nomination. He seemed to be a nice contrast to the usual candidate and I would have liked to see how he performed.
MW raised a few valid points in the debates, and that is to her credit. But it’s not enough to warrant election to the presidency, and she was way too flaky IMO to be remotely considered. She was way down near the bottom of my list.
Wisconsin is looking better and better in the polls for Biden. Pennsylvania is looking good. That is a good chunk of what Biden needs right there. As Michigan looks very likely to go Biden, his chance of taking the Electoral College is pretty strong.
Of course if he can then grab Florida, Arizona, Ohio or North Carolina all the better.
Arizona and North Carolina are the best bets of those four in my opinion. Ohio seems to have taken a sharp turn to the right of late. And as I’ve said, Florida is too flaky and unreliable for a Democrat to count on. Even with Biden’s poll numbers there looking good I just don’t trust it.
