I'm actually a touch optimistic this election. I feel that anti-Trumpers are gaining unity in the "Oh hell no, not him again" way of thinking. I've even some people who were definitely against Clinton post how a vote for a third party is a vote for Trump. Sanders is still loved, but I don't feel that it still a case of him or nobody. Especially now that we absolutely know what a Trump presidency means.

I still have two concerns. One is that Trump has a base of at least 25 percent of voters that will vote for him no matter what he does. Realistically it's more then that but I'm working on last presidential elections. What that means is no matter what crazy fascist leaning cringy thing he says or does his base will vote for him. It's a golden goose of politics and for some reason he seems to have that.

My second concern is kinda the opposite. Biden is mortal and will err. He will say something stupid and cause people to be less supportive of him. And given now that the Democratic party is undergoing a identity crisis, well he better not do or say anything stupid.

As far as polls go, eh I hope hopes but i realize it's still early. Five Thirty Eights Poll of polls shows an eight point lead for Biden which is nice but still a little too close for comfort.

But all in all I'm hopeful. I feel like liberals, progressives, and other assorted social order rattlers took thinks for granted under Obama. I don't think we're doing that right now.

Every damn day.

Yes, we're screwed in Tennessee. But I do think there's an excellent chance Dems will take back the Senate and Biden will win - even with all Trump's efforts to screw with the election.

Please - no more gloom & doom - true or not...

Watching and listening to the mindless Republican political ads makes me embarrassed for Tennessee. Almost all the ads portray Republicans candidates trying to see who can do the best job at kissing Trump's ass. There is no debating important issues such as education or healthcare or jobs. Nope, the dumbass candidates appear holding a gun and telling viewers how Christian it is to take away healthcare benefits from tens of millions of Americans. Everything they propose and everything they stand for goes against what Jesus taught. Trump is a corrupt and evil man that is responsible for the suffering and death of thousands. It is 97 days until this unqualified and immoral man that has been the worst President in our history is defeated. I cannot wait to celebrate. The days of Trump and his mindless and corrupt cronies controlling our government will soon be over. Women are leading the way. In addition, the demographic trends are showing the end to the control of our government by white supremacists Soon white Americans will be in the minority. Latinos, blacks, Asian, and other minority groups that overwhelmingly reject Republican policies will have more influence on elections.Also, the number of people with a college education is growing
and they are supporting Democrats.I hope and pray that the ignorant and racist people that have supported Trump will finally see the light after he is defeated on Nov. 3.

Millions of ignorant and pathetic racists support our buffoon President.The sad thing is if Trump would just keep his mouth shut and listen to his advisors, he would stand a much better chance of getting some independents and some Republicans to vote for him. He is out of control. He is mentally unstable and he is a danger to all Americans.Trump ignores doctors, scientists, and other experts and praises unqualified quacks. The draft dodger is so insecure that he tries to tear down our nation's real heroes like John McCain. He refuses to wear a mask and tries to portray himself as a tough guy while in reality he is the biggest p.... in American. His irresponsible actions has caused thousands of deaths and a great deal of suffering. He is a disgrace to our country. He is a dangerous man that will do everything he can to take the country down with him. We need to lock up this corrupt and evil madman!
