CNN Joe Biden's win grows more decisive each day as votes are counted / Just keep delaying it Donny


CNN logo Joe Biden's win grows more decisive each day as votes are counted

President Donald Trump's efforts to deny the outcome of the 2020 election cannot change an undeniable reality: Joe Biden won decisively, and his lead nationally and in key states has grown over time as more votes have been counted.

President-elect Biden is likely to end up over 5 million votes ahead of Trump in the popular vote when all the counting is done. He'll get about or above 80 million votes -- by far the most of any presidential candidate in history.

In the electoral college, Biden looks to be on his way to earning 306 electoral votes. That's about 57% of all the electoral votes available and will be good enough for a 74 electoral vote margin over the sitting President.

And let's be clear, the chance of a recount overturning the results in 2020 is basically nothing. Fairvote has looked at statewide recounts since 2000. The average shift in votes has been a mere 430 votes and 0.02 points. The largest shift in votes was a little less than 2,600 and 0.11 points.


All of Biden's advantages are considerably larger than that right now. In other words, Trump would need multiple recounts to see movement in votes than simply hasn't happened in the last 20 years.

1) Denialism, avoiding loser label for "King Don the Infallible."

2) Trump is doing more bad as the time drags on-installing lackeys who may destroy evidence and steal information.

3) Grifting: He is still sucking money out of the Treasury. Also, he is bombing supporters with pleas for donations to fight on-most of this money is going in his pockets or to pay off debt.

4) Punish everyone, Biden, voters, enemies, USA for evicting him from the his "Rightful Throne."

5 He is so empty, inept, self-indulgent, unschooled, pampered, narcissistic he knows no other way to pass the days until his impending toss from the world stage.
