But I believe Joe is going to win. He’s the most human and qualified.

In the next few days I am looking for most of the polls to show Joe up by double digits. There are two ongoing events that neither candidate has much control over - the corona virus and the riots. How they are responding to it is making a difference in the election.

and they claimed that 538 said that "Biden will lose his lead" when in fact 538 had said no such thing.

So everyone seems to pulls this shit when it suits their purpose, whether it's true or not.

the people that released that should be ashamed of themselves and they shouldn't have an "A-" rating. Their data was obviously horribly flawed and they should have pulled it and tried to figure out where they went wrong instead of trying to mislead the public. if you have 100 sets of data and yours is damn near 10% off everyone else's, it is good practice to look at your own methods and assume you have made a mistake somewhere.

Trump's trolls are working overtime. The most recent polls are decidedly favorable for Joe Biden. Nothing has changed. Democrats are leading and Trump and his enablers are on another fantasy, cocaine rip.

We're going to win this thing!

With trump cheating, we need to win by a lot.

I feel much better tonight.
