The Biden Blowout Scenario
September 24, 2020 at 7:39 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Jim VandeHei: “Polls show the path for Biden is quite plausible: He is winning in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and essentially even in Florida — all Trump states in 2016.”

“And remember: Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million last time to a much more unpopular Democrat, Hillary Clinton.”

“Biden, thanks in part to changing demographics, is running close or better in red states Texas, Georgia, Arizona, Iowa and North Carolina.”

Iowa should be a safe state for him like NJ is for Biden.

Don’t celebrate a lead as if it’s a victory.

If Biden is ahead by 11 points now, let’s make it 13% by November 3.

There will be cheating.

There will be interference.

If it's close, if there's uncertainty, or doubt, he will take advantage of that.

Overwhelming numbers.

Turn the map blue.

And there is a lot more than just Trump on the ballot. Getting out as many Democratic voters as possible is important for all the House, Senate, State, and local races as well.

11. My (formerly) deep red neighborhood in Florida

On a walk through the neighborhood Tuesday, I counted 12 Biden-Harris yard signs, and two for Donnie two-scoops. Then, yesterday my next-door neighbors planted a Drumpf sign, prompting another neighbor to plant two Biden-Harris signs. Trying hard not to read too much into these tea-leaves, I’m cautiously optimistic. During the four prior presidential elections since I moved here, I have never seen such widespread support.

We must get out the Blue vote!

about this yesterday. Friend pointed out there were very few Hillary signs in 2016, but this year, even in the areas where we live, there are Biden/Harris signs out dotting the sea of usual red.

"unpopular Democrat, Hillary Clinton."

Both as NY senator and as SoS, her approval numbers were in the 60s.

Dumbass!

Starting with this election, then wipe out the remaining senatorial traitors 2022 and 2024.

Democrats at every level of the ballot.
