(I see/hope I see some windows, even in your rather conservative list.)

LISTENING to early part of Dr. Strangelove (on TCM now,) so enjoying it along with your list!

He doesn't to win after what he did to this country. He needs to be kicked to the curb.

12. I agree with you. Trump will carry Arkansas this time around, as well.

He may not get the 60% that he got in 2016, but pretty sure he'll carry the state.

7. You don't think the orange con man will win Missouri?

I live in Missouri, and I think you're being optimistic. But I really hope you're right.

10. Yes, it was very close in '08.

So close that they didn't call Missouri for McCain until some time after the election. It was a week or two after the election, as I recall. But that was 12 years ago.

As I said, I hope you're right. It will positively thrill me if Biden carries Missouri.

16. That would be something.

Actually, *if* the polls are right, 413-125 is not out of the question. That would mean winning the Clinton states, as well as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina (and NE-2 and ME-2).

Biden is polling quite well in PA, WI, MI, NC, and FL, so it's not a leap to think he can win there. GA, TX, and OH will take work, but polling suggests they're potential targets. Ohio has not trended as well as the other Midwest states, so we'll see.

A recent poll in Arkansas showed Biden within a few points. I won't believe it until I see more polls with that trend. Same with a poll this week in Alaska that showed Biden within three. I'll believe that after Election Day. We'd be talking LBJ landslide territory in that case.
