  • I don't really see how anybody can judge this election based on anything we have seen in the past.
    There are just too many variables. I've seen the pieces you are obviously looking at, but other pieces are pointing to a Democratic land slide... something I find HARD to believe.
    Time will tell on this one...

    • Republicans are getting so ashamed of Trump, they are voting for dead people instead.

        And that is what confuses me... Donald Trump has been an embarrassment since the 1970's. How can they be noticing this now?

    • This particular YouTube channel is a bit out there but the two stories actually seem to be true (based upon a quick google search). Takeaway: The state of Oregon probably has the single least secure voting website anyone has ever seen. Anyone can change a person’s official vote if they know just their name and DOB. Oh, and another Biden official got caught ballot harvesting this time in Houston, Texas.

        That is definitely true; there has been no election like this one in the past. Also early voting numbers could change radically in the next 12 days or we could see either massive voter turn out or low voter turn out. We won’t know until the fat lady sings as they say.

        I do think this is going to be much closer than most people think. I also think we are going to see all sorts of dirty tricks.

        • I agree on the dirty tricks... I keep reading "stories" about some, from BOTH sides.
          And while I agree it will probably be closer than many are saying, it wouldn't surprise me if it was blow out either.
          I just can't get a good read.
          I will say I don't think there will be "low" voter turnout. All the indications are that it will be record turn outs.
          And that's a good thing. It has always saddened me that Voter Turnout is so low in this country.

          • WRT voter turn out. A number of states have drastically cut polling stations numbers for in person voting. This includes several blue states where Dems decided to push mail in voting. I really do wonder if long lines, fewer in person voting locations, at locations much further away from people’s homes might actually drive in person voter turn out down.

            • While you could be right...
              However, if you look at Texas, a traditional low turn out state, things are hopping.
              They already have reached 60% of their 2016 turnout, with over 5 million people having already voted.
              And this trend is being seen in other states as well.
              All the early indications show a record national turn out. But then again, "early" indications.

              • Take a look at this one.

                https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...me/3607312001/

                The California Democratic Party has gone full in on this retardation. In Ventura County they normally have 417 polling locations but now that number has been reduced to just 47. Proportions are about the same all across the state which means about an 85% reduction in polling stations.

                Now, when a voter goes to his usual polling station and finds it closed and that the nearest one is 20 miles away with a four hour long wait... Does he go and vote or does he say to hell with it? Remember it is Dems who did this.

                Yes, more early voting might mean we need fewer polling stations but the Dems are being hypocritical here as when red states do the same Dems cry wolf about “voter suppression “ while when Dems do it everything is supposedly A.O.K.. A clear double standard. I think a lot of in person voters are going to find themselves assed out.

                  He puts it in his mail box like everyone else in California.

              • Regarding Trump being owned by China, there is evidence to the contrary. First and foremost, Trump has made arms sales to Taiwan, which Obama/Biden never allowed.Edit: In fact they did sell arms to Taiwan. Secondly, Trump has tariffs on China trade. Thirdly, Trump calls out China on being the source of the "China virus". Trump advocates bringing home production from China. He's increased deployment to 3 fleet carriers and a marine carrier upgraded to F-35s. This in a time when 5 or 6 of the nations carriers are being repaired on the East Coast and for a time there was no carrier in the Atlantic. So yes, Trump has China's feet to the fire. The USN is actively deployed keeping China out of Taiwan at a time when China has built up forces opposite.

                  You're not allowed to vote in the USA anymore, right?

              • We've sold arms to Taiwan under every administration.

                • "- In 2010, the Obama administration announced a package of arms to Taiwan worth $6.4 billion, including Black Hawk helicopters, missiles and mine-hunting ships." Yes, you are correct.

                          And yet Communist China prefers Biden or any other Democrat.
