It looks like Trump and Tillis take it. At least our Governor wins by a larger margin than he did in 2016.
I am hopeful Biden will pull this out. But I don't see the Senate flipping which is very bad news for trying to correct a lot of damage done in the last few years.
I just don't understand how so many people in this country could vote for that con man again.

(4,845 posts)I could in some way understand that they think less than 1% death is ok. But you can't possibly compare our COVID number to the rest of the world and say that's ok. It's not a "democrat hoax" because many European countries are having a second shutdown. They simply lost me at their resistance to masks. How would you oppose something that can save lives? I know it doesn't help 100% of the time, but if it lowers the spread, then it's worth it.

(236 posts)A very common sentiment here tonight. I think many of us were hoping, maybe dreaming, for somewhat of an awakening - enough to be viewed as a repudiation of trump, and provide some hope to go on for the next four years.
