    To be clear, California is part of the United States and their votes count too. This is like saying that Clemson would have beaten us if you take away the four touchdowns we scored in the first quarter. Trump lost the popular vote by 2.8 million. Period.

    And the popular vote is irrelevant, period.

    It's a participation trophy to go with the "I Voted" sticker. Helps that concession speech look like it has a little weight if you lose.

    Which is why we have the Electoral College. Clinton lost the election.

    The sole purpose of the push to abolish the electoral college is to destroy the Republic and install a “democracy” al la European style.

    Like a pure democracy? OK in a pure democracy if a majority of 10 guys say 6 out of 10 decided it was OK to sodomized you then majority rules your screwed. In a representative republic a 6 of 10 guy majority would not work the law against forceful socialization would override. A Democracy would add be kaos and mob rule.

    Maybe you like kaos and mob rule since you appear to be a DEMOCRAT

    BTW are you sure California is part of America?

    National Association of Police just endorsed Trump!

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/na...endorses-trump-reelection-after-backing-biden

    How do you reckon that’s gonna play with the polls .... having the Nations Law Enforcement saying he’ll no to Biden? Throw on top of that all the violence in Democrat Cities and them cancelling police. Berkeley, the seat of STUPIDITY and way overrated for its so called university is considering having civilians take over traffic stops .... LOL! Can’t wait for the show. Popcorn.

    Yes and we saw it in 2016. That being said this isn’t 2016. There is more data and it’s more granular today based on lessons learned in 2016. Multiple data points show erosion of Trump’s support across states, ages and demographics. To deny there is a threat is to stick your head in the sand. Denial is not a river in Egypt. The article below summarizes the point.
    1. The Death Star Implodes

    ...And there was a great silence among the blue checks.

    For a brief few hours Wednesday, after a massive hack bitcoin/scam, Twitter shut down all of its verified accounts, which gave a us a glimpse of what a better world would be like. The brief quarantine of the blue check marks even affected President Trump who was forced to go to Facebook to fire his campaign manager Brad Parscale, amid ghastly poll numbers.

    In public, Trump and his lackeys insist that the numbers are fake and that he is #winning. But , obviously, Trump is seeing the same numbers in private. Thus the defenestration of the over-promoted troll who had been running his campaign.

    Just months ago, Parscale had promised the campaign would be activating what he called the "Death Star," but succeeded only in creating a thousand Twitter memes about its spectacular failure.

    Not even the fact that he kept Trump family members and girlfriends on his payroll was enough to save his grift after the fiasco in Tulsa. And then things got worse.

    How much worse? Wednesday was the the worst polling day of Trump's presidency..

    It began with a CNBC poll showing that Biden was maintaining his lead in crucial swing states.


    Here’s how Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, and the Republican Trump matched up in individual states:

    • Arizona: Biden 51%, Trump 45%
    • Florida: Biden 50%, Trump 43%
    • Michigan: Biden 48%, Trump 42%
    • North Carolina: Biden 47%, Trump 46%
    • Pennsylvania: Biden 50%, Trump 42%
    • Wisconsin: Biden 48%, Trump 42%

    Then came a Monmouth poll out of Pennsylvania, showing Trump down by 13 points.

    This was quickly followed by a devastating Quinnipiac poll showing Biden leading Trump nationally by a staggering 15 percentage points. "There is no upside, no silver lining, no encouraging trend hidden somewhere in this survey for the president," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.

    As coronavirus cases surge and states rollback re-openings, former Vice President Joe Biden opens up his biggest lead this year over President Donald Trump in the race for the White House. Registered voters back Biden over Trump 52 - 37 percent, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll released today. This compares to a June 18th national poll when Biden led Trump 49 - 41 percent. Since March, Biden's lead had ranged from 8 to 11 percentage points.

    Independents are a key factor behind Biden's widening lead as they now back him 51 - 34 percent, while in June, independents were split with 43 percent for Biden and 40 percent for Trump. There is also some movement among Republicans as they back Trump 84 - 9 percent, compared to 92 - 7 percent in June. Democrats go to Biden 91 - 5 percent, little changed from 93 - 4 percent in June.

    "Yes, there's still 16 weeks until Election Day, but this is a very unpleasant real time look at what the future could be for President Trump."

    Wait, there was more. In late afternoon, the NBC/WSJ poll came out, also showing Biden leading by double digits, and showing a deadly political trend line for Trump.
    The poll shows Biden ahead of Trump by 11 points among registered voters, 51 percent to 40 percent, which is well outside the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.

    Biden's lead in last month's poll was 7 points, 49 percent to 42 percent.

    In addition, the poll shows Democrats enjoying an intensity advantage heading into November, and it has Trump's job rating declining to 42 percent — its lowest level in two years.

    At this point, it is important to note that little to none of this is Brad Parscale's fault. He wasn't the one screwing the pooch on the pandemic, or staging cringey photo ops with bibles, or ignoring Russian bounties on American soldiers, or lighting the fires of racial tension, or delivering incoherent press conferences in the Rose Garden.

    The election is shaping up to be a referendum on Donald Trump, and the far away galaxy doesn't have enough lipstick to put on that pig.
