I really wish the "is Biden the best candidate?" people would let it go.

1. There's nothing anyone can do about it, accept it and move on. Are you still complaining that Cruz wasn't the Republican nominee in 2016? No you're complain about Trump the President.

2. Biden is the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals.

The best team in the MLB?

Nope.

Best team in the NL?

Nope.

Best team in the NL Central even?

Nope.

World Series Champions?

Yep.

Complain all you want about the 2011 Cardinals. God knows I loathe them more than any single season sports team (even more than the 2004 Tampa Bay Lightning). But, calling a spade a spade, they won. I hate that they won, but they won.

Of course Fox is saying Trump kept interrupting because he had no choice since Biden was being a big meany.

Not just Fox. Trump Caused Chaos at the Debate. Newspapers Blamed Both Sides.

You'd have to be a pretty big partisan hack to not see that, which I guess is why you don't.

If Trump loses I hope the media just ignores him. Shut down his bs right then and there. Like Biden needs Trump to show him around the White House he can just GTFO

If Trump loses I hope the second he steps out of the whitehouse he is arrested for the variety of things he can likely be arrested for when he’s back to being a regular citizen.

Unless he is in jail, he will be in the news every day.

Might even have his own network.

Early Voting Suggests Biden Is Going to Annihilate Trump, and the GOP is Soiling Itself [vanityfair]

Quote:
The Washington Post reports that the Democratic voters who have requested mail-in ballots and sent them back “greatly outnumber Republicans” in states such as Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maine, and Iowa. A similar trend is apparently occurring in Ohio, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin, and GOP leaders and strategists are freaking out. The disparity has reportedly been “the subject of urgent discussions” among GOP officials, who are “stunn[ed]” by the margins and fear the news is not just bad for Trump but for other Republicans on the ballot. While the party is said to be focused on voter turnout on Election Day itself, Whit Ayers, a longtime Republican pollster, told the Post the fear is that older voters, who typically support Republicans, are concerned about being infected with COVID-19 and could choose to stay home if the pandemic intensifies in the run-up to November 3 (which would be yet another reason not to cast a ballot for Trump, whose handling of the crisis has been shambolic at best).

Also seeing on Twitter, many Trump signs have been taken off front yards today.

Nothing would make me happier than to see all those Trump rats go down with the Trump ship.

The simple answer is those people don't eat. And that's the problem. Trump supporters will get out to vote. Ones who don't like tuna melt may not.

You would think some of them might be realizing that a Supreme Court that takes away their kids Obama Care is going to strip them of Medicare about a week later

Agree but not exactly what I meant. Dem/previously undecided needs to get out. Not sure Biden inspires anyone but anti trump sentiment among them should be enough. Hopefully
