when Schiff says "he will be defeated...he has to be defeated", he doesn't sound as certain as some here seem to think. He is only certain that our republic will go down if he is reelected. And, it will. Schiff is not certain of the outcome of this election.
I think that trump can win with 40% support, because we still transmit election tallies over the web. It's a cyberwar we're up against and we're not prepared.
I believe Hillary won, possibly in a landslide, and yet he won HUGE upsets in all the states he needed to win an electoral college victory. People are naive if they don't believe this can happen again.
She lost Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania - states where she was polling very well and favored to win...states she needed for an electoral college victory.
In the Mueller report, these states are mentioned. Why? Is it helpful to know information when you are engaged in hacking the vote?
From the Mueller report: [quote] Manafort briefed Kilimnik on the state of the Trump Campaign and Manaforts plan to win the election. That briefing encompassed the Campaigns messaging and its internal polling data. According to Gates, it also included discussion of battleground states, which Manafort identified as Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. [endquote]
From the Mueller report: [quote] Later, in a November 5, 2016 email to Kushner entitled Securing the Victory, Manafort stated that he was really feeling good about our prospects on Tuesday and focusing on preserving the victory, and that he was concerned the Clinton Campaign would respond to a loss by mov[ing] immediately to discredit the [Trump] victory and claim voter fraud and cyber-fraud, including the claim that the Russians have hacked into the voting machines and tampered with the results.

I'm not trying to be debbie downer, but we need to be smart here. Only one side is playing by the rules and it's not working.
