    He's actually improved in DC each election.

    Maybe they will finally learn to un-radicalize and try to run on something more than low priority social issues and identity politics.

    Well, I guess this should help ease my wife's busy schedule as an asylum officer.

    If I'm going to lose anyway, I appreciate that this loss was so definite. A large electoral college margin, plus the popular vote, plus the Senate, plus probably the House. Plus they already got the Supreme Court, so that's a trifecta. And, there is no controversy about the integrity of the election either. No big October Surprises that might have warped the trajectory of the election. And sure there were some Russian operatives who tried to mess with us, but nothing that I know about that looks remotely efficacious. This was a very clear signal from the American electorate that, for whatever reason, we want MAGA. If it was close or divided, I might be tempted to hope that something might be done. Maybe there's an avenue of resistance or at least some 'adults in the room' to curb the worst MAGA impulses. But there is no reason to hope for any of that. It'll be Trump's agenda all the way and I have no moral complicity in any of it.

    He has looked and sounded good of late - which is consistent with the type of health issues he has had, it takes up to a few years to get back to normal.

    He is a massive man, with heart issues - so those could end up being a problem, but right now he seems pretty effective at communicating and actually has some understanding of the world around him unlike the prior administration.

    Another vote for Fetterman as a 'Democrat with Balls' but agree his health is mid at best and as @Nook said, he's a big dude with heart issues, not a great combo for long stretches of optimal performance.

    Every time you vote you are voting for the lesser evil. Well most people are.

    I am going to be honest. You just sound like a bitter brainwashed dem voter.

    Maybe you will wake up as you try to make excuses on why the last 4 years were so phenomenal for you.

    Idioto

    He has 277 currently. There are 4 outstanding swing states: NV(6), AZ(11), WI(10),MI(15). That makes it 42.
    277+42= 319

    I am getting lectured by a Co Worker this morning on how I am horrible for taking away women's rights.

    Quite comical, but the left is full of the more emotional crowd.

    Can't blame them, their government has been running constant psyops on them since 2007/2008.
