Pennsylvania seems to be the ball game. If Harris wins PA it’s game over.

Do we know what comparative position was at this point 4 years ago?
I got this from The Conversation.
"As of 10 a.m. on Oct. 28, 2024, data from the Pennsylvania Department of State indicated that 56% of the mail-in ballots requested at that point in Pennsylvania were from registered Democrats, about 32% from Republicans, with the remaining 13% from voters who did not register with a party or listed a third party. In 2020, over 6 in 10 mail-in ballots were requested by Democrats and about 1 in 4 by Republicans."

The total figure for mail in was 2,704,147 in 2020.

What it does show is Trump will be winning early on the day as 2020. Mail in votes take longer to count and will be added later in the day. Cue the coup!

No he isn't.
Is your reading comprehension really that bad?!? That's exactly what he is saying? What do you think a "severe overreaction in the economy" is? What do you think "markets will tumble" means? What do you think the "storm" is?

And you are okay with all this? Apparently you are.

It was in the middle of covid so the Dems all voted early by mail-in but the Repugnicans voted on the day in person because Trump told them to. This time around Trump has told the Rs to vote early so the difference is actually less that 2020, which Biden won.

Not only that, but in PA in particular, state law forbids any processing (not just counting) of absentee ballots to start until 7 am on election day. So, they can't even open the outer envelopes, check signatures or dates. Or stack them ready to be sent through the counting machine. The state senate has deliberately baked in delays in getting a final vote count out.

By telling the racist, misogynistic, christofascist garbage that they are garbage? Seems pretty retrained to me. You forgot to mention that he was referring to the "comedian" not all the nazis.
To be fair, young Joe's words there are really clumsy. I think his intent is very, very obvious but you can understand why the other side are willfully pretending he's called Trump's supporters deplorables. Which, to be fair, was actually shown to be a massive understatement.

I'm not sure why, but I can't stop thinking about Colbert's interview with Obama during the 2020 campaign where Colbert asked, "were your fears borne out?" and Obama immediately replied, "exceeded". It's such a powerful moment without being overstated.

Also, just as an aside - I really thought the comedian was absolutely hilarious. If you hire a roast comic, you get a roasting. It was an excellent set and perfectly offensive as intended. The comic did his job and actually was probably a highlight for the attendees, given they also had a laughing hound (Carlson) and an old drunk (Guiliani, possibly others too).

Yrs I can absolutely understand it. They are desperate for an insult to grab hold of to even the score, ignoring the hundreds of insults the diaper Don has thrown around.

It's just what they do and it's about time it was called out. Which Jake Tapper did, rather brilliantly I thought, last week;

Local newspapers reported that Pennsylvania residents requested 1 Million fewer mail-in ballots this year compared to 2020- making the 400,000 presumed lead comparatively better. But this does not account for many more Trump voters determined to wait until Election Day. (Pray for rain or snow)

OK then The diversity hire.
Oh got it. Racism. There's no way the former DA for San Francisco, AG and Senator for California and incumbent VP could end up as Presidential nominee for any other reason than as a diversity choice.

If only she were a billionaire TV star, property mogul and serial sex pest with a history of divisive rhetoric, eh?

Looks like Trump is panicking about Pennsylvania, given his latest tweets.

Not sure if this helps, but 40% of the U.S population is from other ethnic backgrounds. It might just be, just might, that the occasional presidential candidate may not have skin like Snow White.

For all the blitzing of fake polls, the internal polling won’t lie. And by the sounds of it, he doesn’t like it one bit.
