    The republicans are controlling the narrative while sabatoging the government, and traditionally dems dont show up for mid terms. My current prediction is that you dont have to worry about Biden for long. He will be impeached after the GOP wins back the house and senate. They wont even need a real reason to do it.

    Good thing polls are fake news and we don't have to worry about those anymore, am I right, or am I right? Biden is hitting the low point in his polling at the best possible time for him and Democrats, I think most folks forget after Trump that presidential approval ratings change over time based on the events and news of the day. There isn't a contingent of supporters that are built in to support Presidents no matter what crazy thing happens usually.

    Once the Democrats pass the infrastructure bill(s) and get around to passing a voting rights bill, things are likely going to change. Barring some unforeseen event happening that is unpredictable, I think going into next summer as things stabilize and improve with COVID, the economy continues to chug along and grow at a reasonable rate along with the infrastructure bill juicing it even more I am pretty confident the tides will turn again. Things almost always look the worst after the first summer of a new presidents term, everyone was predicting Trumps demise post Charlottesville at this point in his presidency, yet he bounced back too and nearly won the last election so things are way too early to think they have any bearing on the midterms.

    The red neck uprising will get put down again if it happens, just like last time.

    My wife didn't know any swear words in either Korean or English. One day she came home from work where people swear a lot and she usually kept her hearing muffs on when she was in her 50s and she asked me "What's a mother fucker?"
    She does not allow me to swear in her presence.

    Reminiscent of Outlander, when 18th century Jamie innocently asks 20th century Claire what fucking means.

    I wouldn’t say it was easy, he lost by a closer magin in terms of raw votes than Hillary lost in 2016. I am not talking popular vote just to be clear, but the margin in each state which decided the electoral vote total.

    Read first volume. Sometimes wish writers would leave a good thing alone and not spin it out forever.

    Trump lost the electoral vote count exactly the same as Hillary lost to Trump and by a wider popular vote count than Trump's loss of the popular vote count to Hillary. Trump is a loser.

    You’re right, But I am not arguing electoral votes. You win electoral votes based on the popular vote of each state, Biden won the deciding swing states that gave him the victory by a shockingly close 44,000 votes. Trump won the deciding swing states in 2016 by about 80,000.

    So I am not arguing that Trump isn’t a loser, he is, that was established long before November 2020. But it unfortunately doesn’t change the fact that the 2020 election was historically very close.
