Let's say trump goes ahead with his plan to appoint some Electors without consulting voters. We would have two sets of Electors sending their votes to Congress from key battleground states. That means the decision would be made sometime in January. Even if the decision were made for Biden in January, trump could try to fight it for months after that.
This could get very ugly.

tRumptards still claiming the "left" is full of hate.....lol
The Rightie trump nutjobs are the new "Klan".
Please leave your Trump 2024 signs in your yard. That way, my dog will know where to take a dump.
Why would the market collapse with Trumps second win when it didn’t collapse after his first win lol?
The hardest work under a Biden win will be trying to figure out which faction will be pulling Biden's puppet strings. If there wasn’t so much at stake in this election it would actually be fun to watch.
Will we even see much of him?
What if the raging lefties in the streets decide to hit the streets if Biden tries to govern as a moderate? Will BLM continue to riot and loot every time a thug gets shot or killed by a white cop? [can only be a black thug—white thug lives don’t matter]
How impotent will Biden’s Magic COVID Wand turn out to be?
Does anyone *really think* we can continue the economic recovery with Biden raising taxes? Will he listen to ‘approved scientists’ and lock us down again?
Biden has an abysmal foreign policy track record—he’s been wrong on practically everything. Will that trend continue?
Like I said, if not for what’s at stake it would be fun to watch it play out.

After four years of barely being able to hold things together, people are tired. The stock market is massively overvalued. Most investors realize we cannot make it for another four years, so will be looking to get out before the crash. Investors trying to avoid getting caught by the crash will paradoxically be the spark of the crash. It is usually that way.
Listening to people really does help to calm the situation. trump hates people, and does not want to listen to them. That is why he has been unable to calm either side.
And here again, we get back to the hard work thing. trump is looking for a magic, a miracle, luck, or anything other than hard work. Biden is willing to do the hard work.

Hello Walt,
That message is out there. People understand the importance of voting this time. Many are kicking themselves for allowing Trump to win in 2016. They've seen the damage and they want to make up for their mistake. It could be a Biden landslide. Many who are unlikely to ever be counted in the polls could come out and vote for Biden. I heard that in Texas, more people have already voted early and mail-in than the entire election results in 2016. And many of the newest voters are in the 18-24 age group.

Actually, predictions are not even using Florida as a Biden win. If Biden gets all the Strongly Democratic, and Likely Democratic, then Biden does not need any of the Barely Democratic. Biden does not need Florida, Arizona, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Iowa, etc.
If Biden loses Florida, AND Pennsylvania, then he really is no longer favored to win. It would then be a closer to 50/50 odds following the models, but would be reasonable to question the models, and to maybe say trump is favored.
There has been a huge number of younger voters and minority voters in Texas. I don't want to get my hopes too high, because Texas is still a very tough state for Biden, but if Biden wins Texas... It is impossible for trump to win in any way that does not include using the Russian military to occupy US soil.

Once a virus is loose in a population the virus is gonna virus. Europe is struggling to come to grips with this as some of the affected countries are going to lockdown, again. Only to find out the virus isn’t done virusing after they open up again.
You’re delusional about BLM and the raging lefties. Under Biden [or would it be Harris?] they won’t be able to scapegoat Trump for lefty violence and mayhem.
If the market is over valued and heading for a correction—that won’t disappear under Biden. The bigger question is the economy. I see ZERO HOPE of an economic recovery under Biden. Especially, if he really intends to keep locking it down every time there’s a spike in cases. In fact, it will lead to an unmitigated economic disaster. Killing energy sector jobs on top of everything else.
Nothing short of madness.

ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!
Quarantining and contact tracing has worked to eliminate viruses before (either completely or from populations). What has not worked is waiting for a virus to stop. A virus cannot stop, it must be stopped. It does not get bored. Even when defeated, it must be constantly watched for coming back.
An overvalued market is kindling. Without a spark, it will naturally adjust to the right level. With a spark, it is a disaster.
Right now, the economy is slowly dying. The world supply chains are reordering themselves around the USA, and no longer through the USA. It may take years, or even decades, but the direction we are going is a dark age, worse than a depression.
A collapsing stock market will accelerate that, much like Black Thursday accelerated the Great Depression.
At this point, if we could just stem the bleeding... But trump is incapable of doing that.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
