    A Biden win might boil down very simply to Democrat voters hating Biden less than than they hated Clinton. IOW, if they're not crazy about Biden, they'll find it easier to hold their noses for Biden than they did for Clinton.

      That depends on their reason for saying it publicly. They could be trying to make sure that Biden voters don't stay home because they think he's got it in the bag. On the other hand, they could be panicking.

        I think everyone is trying to get on the record thinking another 2016 surprise might happen. I’d be surprised if Trump even gets 200 electoral votes.

        You're not just going to be surprised, you might actually piss yourself.

          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, if Biden wins there will be a bloodbath in the midterms. He won't be able to get his programs through in twwo years, especially when people see what he wants to do with taxes.

              I think we may need a to institute a Wishful Thinking Index (tm).

              It's off the charts at the moment.

                  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.

                          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.

                              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.

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