    Biden's campaign message this week has been 'battle for the soul of the nation'. It's even on his podium. Politicians talking about souls smells like desparation to me.

    But Mik, all politicians do this. President Trump is talking about saving the suburban, he’s talking about protecting America from XYZ. America is under threat, etc.

    He may not specifically say “soul” but it is the same thing.

        I am not confident in the source... Are these numbers accurate?

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            FiveThirtyEight's model:

            https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-biden-election-map/

            If Trump takes Georgia and Florida and loses Pennsylvania, he has a 6% chance of winning.

            If he wins Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Florida , Silver gives him a 90% chance of winning.

              Cool! For the record, I want a Trump win. Would be fun to see an upset. Would also be fun to see all the upset (see what i did there?) woke folks cry.

                The chances of their disappointment being limited to crying at home is lower than a Trump win itself.

                  Good point. It also makes sense why they’re putting up hard to scale fences around the White House.

                          So @Aqua-Letifer, have you voted yet?

                          @89th, you say you want a Trump victory, are you pulling the lever?

                            Nope. Voted for Jo. VA will go Biden anyway. IF it was a swing state, I would’ve considered it.

                              @89th Virginia is actually one that people are keeping an eye on. There is some thought that if there was a “surprise” state, VA is at the top of the list.

                                  If all of Jo’s votes would’ve put Trump over the top, I’ll buy you another one of those 4 packs. 👍
