For what it's worth, my take-away on all of this:

Were it not for the Pandemic, this would have been over on Tuesday night. What this did do is give people an insight into the nitty gritty details of how their votes are processed and that is a good thing. And the bottom line here is that Trump is trying to make criminals of the volunteer vote counters while also attempting to disenfranchise folks who voted by mail to protect their health against a Pandemic that Trump allowed to rage around them. That's my take-away. 🙂

Just so you know...little New Hampshire calmly and quietly

f**ked Donald Trump by 7 percentage points.

In all of the chaos and confusion, has anybody pointed this out...

Trump, if he loses, is going to be indicted. He is going to spend the rest of his sorry life in courts and being deposed and having to spend his own money (not the taxpayers') on defense lawyers. His frightful kids are probably going to meet the same fate. The thought of that makes me very, very happy tonight.

My report from my little town in NH.

I was at the polls from 7 am to 5 pm today. As a Selectman, I was required to be there and my task today was to screen voters for masks and political attire as they came in. We have never seen such a turnout! It was steady all day long. With the exception of 1 person, everybody wore masks. We had no trouble. This town usually leans democratic and today's turnout was much higher that Obama in 2008.

So, there it is from my little corner of NH.

Think of it! All these many years of

lying, cheating, stealing and defrauding and it's going to take 150+ million regular, decent and honest Americans to take him down and initiate the process of his ultimate ruin... with one stroke of a stubby golf pencil or the press of a button or the pull of a lever. It will all catch up with him now and he will rue the day he ever set foot on that golden escalator. Just think of it!

I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself but these are my thoughts tonight.

Trump is a prisoner of his base.

If I were a campaign advisor, I'd urge him to give Churchillian speeches from now until next Tuesday. But he can't. His base expects red meat, the bloodier the better. He's stuck.

Savannah Guthrie: A classic example of a woman who was underestimated until

she was allowed to perform. Welcome to the club, Savannah. You blew Trump away. You saved NBC's ass and you showed up every reporter, mainly men, who has failed to ask the hard questions, failed to follow up, and played the corporate game of going along to get along. You were the epitome of poise, preparation and persistence.

Just for fun, let's go back to Trump's dementia test...the one that he "aced".

Yesterday I had my annual physical under Medicaid. I'm Trump's age. I was asked to draw a clock and place the hands at 12:25. I was given three words - captain, garden, picture - and asked to repeat them in order about 10 minutes later. While we were chatting about my medical history, I asked the nurse practitioner why the word and clock test didn't include more questions. She said that if I flunked the word and clock test, they would go ahead and give me a longer, more detailed test.

I "aced" the word and clock test. It's pretty certain that Trump didn't and had to take the more detailed test, which he probably also flunked.

Anybody who can't pass the word and clock test shouldn't be President.

The Lincoln Project should look into this.
