> [@RickJay](#): > > Just a reminder that had Trump, in January, been honest about coronavirus, taken it seriously, and marshalled a genuine national response, he’d have easily beaten whatever luckless Democrat had gotten the nomination. I 100% think he could have won. Sickens me, but Trump failed to act in one situation where being a strong president would have helped him! ---

There is no walk away movement. Biden got more votes than any candidate in history. ---

> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > So, if Trump had just been a completely different person he could have gotten elected? Can you say that about everyone who has lost an election? No. Your forgetting that the dems were determined to win no matter what. Have you forgotten all the pink hats on parade right after the election? If the the virus they would have blamed him for something else and ignore things like his brokering of 2 middle easrt peace agreements and his break thru’s with North Korea. Political parties exist to win. They dont play nice. ---

Elton John. Fantastic song. Takes me back to an ill-fated road trip-- 1974 in a Chevy Vega. The guy who was about to dump me and go back to his girlfriend drove us from Texas to St. Louis, while I read _Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance_. [/nostalgic hijack] ---

I’m already hearing my Republican associates saying Biden doesn’t have a mandate because he didn’t win enough votes. Which is a word I don’t remember hearing when Trump won by getting fewer votes. ---

Biden is currently saying that all the votes in Arizona should be counted, which only can hurt him. So, yeah, this is just objectively untrue. ---
