    There are so many potential reasons why turnout will be different this year:

    • Young people are all cooped up and might actually see voting as "something to do"

    • Backlash to wokeness

    • COVID suppresses in-person senior vote

    • etc.

    Turnout is harder to model than sentiment - so I'm not going to be surprised with any outcome here.

      I'll be surprised if Mr. Biden gets even one vote.

      I guess it's possible.

      But I just can't understand why anyone would do that.

        Biden is a monster, an old white man who's passed on his privilege to his younger white son. It's everything wrong with America, but I guess some people just love their unfair advantages so much, that they'd vote for Biden. I guess they don't care about the disadvantaged. It's their own souls at peril. I have nothing to do with it. They are the ones who will burn in eternal hell. It's really sad because I care about them, and people I care about, I would prefer not to burn in eternal hell. I hope they take my advice and vote for Trump. The stakes for their eternal souls are pretty high. Hugs.

        Education is extremely important.

          The good news I think Biden will have such strong leads that it will minimize any waffling and delaying by Trump to concede defeat within a week or so after Nov 3.

          God I hope so, but I lack your confidence.

          It will be a blowout popular and electoral. The silent majority are not closet Trumpsters. They are regular people who haven't drank his koolaid and are just plain tired of him and his need to be the water cooler topic each and every day.

              Do you think that’s based on popularity or safety?

                  If you think Trump has 20,000 people and Biden has 8 is a reflection of popularity, then I think you're going to be sadly surprised next week.

                      Are you talking about President Trump or Vice President Biden? :-). 555
