"The one word I have to use with respect to what he's been doing for the last several years is the word I would never have used before, never would have used with any of the four presidents I worked for: He lies. He lies about things, and he gets away with it because people will not hold him accountable."

Our country is as well. As the president goes, so goes the nation.

the key to trump's teflon on lying and crimes is that he does it in the open and without shame.
it seems people prefer to be stolen from and lied to in their faces, freely and openly, than to do the standard political thing of not quite answering questions and using rehearsed bits.

538 has the senate switching to Dem hand at 58% likely.
Interesting. The most likely scenario (at 14.9%) is that the senate will have a 50-50 split.
There is virtually no chance of a filibuster-proof majority for either side. I think the filibuster might be going away. And I really hope it does. The future of mankind may depend on it.

The Democrats are so corrupt that anyone would be preferable to Hillary and the crap she would have done to us with a fully weaponized Federal government. At least Trump is not attacking us, and that's a big win.. . .

nice - outstanding work. Gary is no doubt prepping and getting ready to resist the Biden stormtroopers getting ready to put him in a camp with other conservatives.
But the thing is this...Gary said Trump is no long attacking 'us.'
By that he means Trump *is* attacking *you.* Meaning Democrats.
'conservatives' are more than happy for anonymous federal troops to beat and arrest Democrats.

Interesting development:
The left leaning Green Party has been removed from the ballot in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania for not following proper procedures.
In 2016, Green Party candidate Jill Stein received more votes than Trump’s winning margin in both of those states.
These people will not be voting for Trump.
Sure, they can write in their candidate but chances are they will check the box for Biden.
Any idea which side complained? This is really helpful for the Democrats.

it's the second good break in PA.
The first break was when front line workers were banned from cancelling ballots in PA based on signature alone.

That is a good development. Biden would have won those states anyway, but anything that makes it even more definitive is a good thing.

This was really a Democrat effort to get the Green Party off the ballot.
It was a 5-2 vote (5 Democrats vs 2 Republicans).
As much as I want the Democrats to win, it is their version of voter suppression by suppressing the choices.
I think this is track's version of making one step inside the line on the curve and getting DQed.
They weren't going to get many votes this time anyway.
Stein got 50,000 votes in PA in 2016 and 31,000 in WI.
They were people that didn't like Hillary.
They all like Joe.

Also note that Republican lawyers have been the ones working to get the Green Party on the ballot. The Greens have admitted that they are getting lots of help from Republicans and they welcome this help.
While I generally support the Green Party cause worldwide, I have tremendous misgivings about the Green Party in the US.

it's all so tricky...The Rs worked successfully to put Kanye on the ballot in swing states, only to hurt biden.
So what are the Ds supposed to do? Should they lie over and not fight?
Or should they insist on taking the high road?
I don't know the answer.
The problem is always, always an unethical, traitorous, bad-faith Republican Party.
The POTUS is "funny"

The measures need to match the current risks. I haven't seen evidence of Ds being very aggressive or strategic. They should absolutely be engaging trump and the GOP with disinformation warfare. The gloves should have come off long ago. Those guys act like they don't realize nor care about the danger of trump staying in power. Hit them with all the dirty tricks possible.

The problem was that poll workers with zero handwriting analysis training got to decide which signature to toss out. A person's signature changes over the years. Handwriting analysis understand this. Poll workers do not.

538 update:
Stable at 76% likelihood of Biden winning. Hasn't changed from the 75-76 range for a week. Presumably if Biden stays at +6.6% the likelihood of him winning will rise as time goes on.
The polling average has been steadily tightening, down to just Biden +6.6%. Biden has to stay over +4% in the popular vote to have a chance in the EC. So right now if the polls are wrong in Trump's favor and the real result is Biden +3%, then Trump will likely win the EC. Of course the polls could be wrong in Biden's favor also.
538 has the senate switching to Dem hand at 58% likely.
UPDATE!
538 now has Biden at 77% chance of winning. Predicted EC votes are 330 for Biden.
