(939 posts)As a Texan, I highly doubt it will happen but if Biden were to win Texas, there is absolutely zero electoral path for Trump. It's over no matter what. No other swing state matters upon this news. GOP becomes officially a regional party.

(10,281 posts)Biden taking the entire electoral college, all of them. McGovern only took one state if I remember correctly. Id love to see a new record. As long as I am dreaming trump could even get a high number of the popular vote, just so he could feel that pain too.

(14,565 posts)In fact, that's basically my list except for Ossoff. I don't think that's happening to the point I haven't paid any attention
I believe we will lose some very tight races due to ballot spoilage alone. That is actually the surprise I am hoping for beyond anything nationwide, that our huge dependence on mail voting won't lead to as many tossed ballots or late arriving ballots as I expect. I'd feel much better about this election and the polling if not for that lopsided reliance on the mail vote. As a gambler you always want fewer variables to overcome, not more of them.

I used to live there, and remember a time before Repugs controlled everything there (ex. Ann Richards ). I was so encouraged by the enthusiasm for Beto. I think that if we can GOTV it's in play.

Seriously, McGrath kicking McConnell's ass would be the ultimate prize for Kentucky Democrats....
JanMichael
(24,899 posts)If he wins (Fabulous!!!!!!!) I want him to open up and be honest and accept that his idiotic acts may have cost us the senate. Fess up, come clean, ask for forgiveness and give a pound of flesh, and not go all Manchin (sp?). If he does I will personally try to derail his primaries in perpetuity. Fucking idiot. He may be too stupid to be a senator...
