Yeah, the more decisive, the better. Not just for legal reasons, but to reduce the chance of civil unrest. I don't trust some of these losers to not do something stupid if it ends up 270-268.

It definitely doesn't work if Trump's goal is to return to power. But I'm not sure that's his goal. If his goal is to set up his own right-wing media empire and milk the rubes for all they're worth, he might be able to do that more effectively as the undisputed leader of a third-party.

And he has one big thing going for him that no other third-party candidate has: the leverage and localized popularity to force at least a few sitting house members to defect. If he lays it on the line that he's demanding loyalty from every QAnon-type candidate that he helped bring to power, he could claim a dozen seats and a level of legitimacy that no other (edit: modern) third party has ever achieved.

Do I think he'll go that direction? No, probably not. But I think there's a real chance that he could.

One thing with Georgia is that there are an unknown number of military ballots that could still argue that aren’t included in the current number (up to 9000) plus an unknown number of rejected but fixable ballots.

You could probably say that the military lean teump and fixable lean democrat.

I had never heard of the Hitchhiking Robot and his eventual demise in Philly before, that is flipping hilarious.

Biden has it in the bag IMO.

He will win Pennsylvania because the remaining 326 K ballots to be counted are mail in and pretty much Democratic.

He will probably still win at least 2 of the 3 of Georgia, Nevada and Arizona if not all 3.

It's already over IMO. Just waiting on the official word.

Using conservative numbers John King just said Biden is on track to win PA by 40,000 votes - it'll be nice for GA to not matter.

Trump is going to speak in about 45 minutes.

I'm sure he'll be calm and respect the voting process.
