    if not for Covid, I have no doubt he would beat Biden, and they already lost to him in 2016

    Democrats keep trotting out these ancient, corporate types that excite no one

    Because Biden is ahead and the votes left to count are heavy D.

    Trump has no avenue to win now other than legal action.

    Biden was up big early in Ohio and NC and then lost because mail in voting was counted first. In Michigan and Wisconsin it is being counted last.

    @malakas

    You mentioned an article you read about populist leaders and how they typically are in office for a long time. Can you share that link? I'd like to read it.

    It's all based on the remaining votes and where they are left to be counted. A lot of them are mail-in votes and that in general favors Biden. Some of the counties left to count are strong blue supporters. So the votes are likely to shift in favor of Biden, pending any last minute surprises.

    From this Party?

    How about from this country, there is nothing the democratic party could have done just look at all the ****ery around covid by Trump and it was still this close.

    How would anybody else have done better?

    Trump voters where not jumping ship for anybody.

    Donny, I've enjoyed following you and @Nook posts. You guys stayed on course and never panicked. Between watching PBS and reading commentary by you guys and also following the numbers, I felt a lot more calm falling asleep last night.

    Thanks man. I've enjoyed your commentary too. I'm glad I chose an extra dose of tylenol PM and went to bed early. Last night was just an exercise in making yourself crazy it seems.

    I didn't even bother posting last night because I knew so many Trump trolls were going to come in and declare premature ownage.

    Well, at this point in time, Trump definitely does not want the counting of the votes to be stopped because he is trailing now.

    In addition, like Reko mentioned, democrats need to develop a plan to introduce a more appealing message to the people who did not vote for Biden. Tell them how you plan to make their lives better and leave identity politics out of those plans. This need to be done soon, in preparation for the 2022 midterm elections and 2024 presidential election.

    Healthcare. Healthcare. Healthcare. It's one of the few positions the Democrats dominate on in terms of polling. People know the GOP is lazy with healthcare. Spam that to blue collar workers.

    LGBT looters? That's a new one.

    You are being taken advantage of. You are clearly regurgitating talking points that were strategically provided to you. You deserve better. WE deserve better.

    How about if you really cared about minorities, you would invest in our education system, all the way from K-12th grade. What did the person you support do? Put Betsy DeVos as the Secretary of Education. DeVos was absolutely NOT qualified for that position, and most people that used logic and evidence should see what that would lead to. Four years later, and she has been the exact **** stain that most saw coming. Her incompetence shined bright.

    Don't let facts get in the way.

    It is so amazing that Trump have so much support, I now have no doubt we will have some smarter, more polished right wing politicians take his play book and win time and time again in this country. This election says so much about the character of this country.

    And taxing the **** out of the rich. Healthcare and income inequality are the two things I feel most of the country should get behind.

    Leave the woke topics for later.
