    they don't think I'm a moderate either, were kinda irked at me because I'd planned on writing in a protest vote,..

    because I'm against abortion and associated with you knuckleheads,.. they think I'm a trumpet, and you guys ruined me

    A couple of thoughts looking back on the election. First it appears Biden will be the president sworn in this January. It’s not 100% certain but likely. It was much closer than anyone expected and showed again the pollsters have lost credibility and have a lot of work to do.

    I’ve seen a lot of posts here and elsewhere claiming massive democrat fraud and ballot box stuffing. However there hasn’t been any creditable charge. In Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona the local republicans dispute there is any evidence that is on a specific scale to impact the outcome. I’ll trust them before any “internet source”. If the state republicans believe that it happened then they’ll protest and hopefully have solid evidence not just a manufactured number. The 127,000 vote claim in Michigan has been debunked. Whether you’re for or against Trump don’t only listen to the echo chamber of your favorite source.

    My very early analysis of what happened is that Trump alienated too many of his 2016 supporters and wasn’t able to attract enough new votes to win. He lost enough college educated white and seniors in key states to cost him. There are several pieces of evidence to support this. First in the four states I listed above the number of Libertarian votes more than made up the margin between him and Biden. Had they not deserted him he would have won convincingly. Another bit of confirmation is the ticket splitting down ballot. The republicans won seat in the house. They kept every state house even in states Biden won fairly easily. The fact that the supposed “blue wave” didn’t happen supports this idea.

    I think overall we were lucky and there is hope that the country isn’t going down a socialist drain. Conservatives must find a positive message that addresses the issues of today. You don’t attract enough by negativity alone. Frankly I haven’t seen a positive idea from the conservatives since the Contract with America in the mid nineties. Exclusion and being against isn’t enough; we need a solution as well. Those are my initial thoughts.

    Texas is a great place. My wife is from the Ft Worth area and all of her family are still in the DFW area or near Tyler. We usually spend a week or so there in the summers so I can fish with my father-in-law at Lake Fork and let them visit with the grandkids.
