1. I am tempted to want to see Biden put into bubble wrap

I am started to get concerned about security. These are cornered rats looking for something to upset the election.

TX is going red. Now is not the time to reach. Now is the time to close the deal. Get the states that you need to win 270 at a minimum.

6. Average of polls have Biden up about 6.5 in PA. Obama won it by 10 pts (2008) and 5 pts (2012).

Why is Biden's polling so unbelievable?

Also Gore won it by 4 in 2004.

9. Hillary was also ahead in PA. I live a few miles from western PA where there is a Trump sign

or flag at every house. I know the Trump voters will vote and they will be counted. I am not so sure the
black community and especially young people will turn out or be counted. It is going to be far closer than the polls suggest
in PA and I think Trump will do even better in Ohio than the polls suggest.

8. PA legitimately makes me nervous.

It's a must win for Biden, and Trump knows it. If Trump just takes away PA, then he has a fighting chance to deny Biden a majority in the EC.

PA holds the key to the Whitehouse.

10. Have you alerted the campaign?

It’s likely they haven’t thought of this idea to — checks notes — visit states before an election.

14. What about 2008 and 2012? 1992? 1996?

Sorry dude. I’ll take the Biden campaigns expertise over that of an anonymous internet poster 7 days a week and twice on Sundays. They’ve done a great job so far. I’m sure you agree.
