The more time goes on, the better things look for Democrats in November, as criminal Fuhrer Trump* could not be doing more to sabotage himself and the Republican Reich, it he tried. Nevertheless, we cannot use this as an excuse for complacency.
…Start here: Trump got 306 electoral votes in his 2016 win. Now, consider these 2020 scenarios (all calculations made via 270towin.com):
* If Trump loses Texas (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden, 270 electoral votes to 268 electoral votes.
* If Trump loses Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 278 to 260.
* If Trump loses Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 279 to 259.
* If Trump loses Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 276 to 262.
* If Trump loses Arizona, Ohio and Wisconsin (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 271 to 267.
The point here is not to say any of these electoral map scenarios are locked in. After all, we are still 152 days away from the November 3 election. (And, yes, I counted.)
Rather, they are to note that Biden, as of right now, has a WHOLE lot of different paths to 270 electoral votes, while Trump has a dwindling number. And of course, the polls on released on Wednesday don’t even deal with potential trouble spots for Trump in Florida, North Carolina and Georgia — all of which he won in 2016… [emphasis added]

In this Republican den of horrors, we all need some good news to give us hope and keep us sane, but remember this. If you aren’t saying everything you can, you aren’t saying enough. If you aren’t working as much as you can, you aren’t working enough. If you aren’t helping all you can, you aren’t helping enough. If you aren’t giving all you can, you aren’t giving enough. If you aren’t doing all you can, you aren’t doing enough.
