In 2000, the media was naive, there was an anti-Gore bias, and the republican aggression caught everyone flat footed. Plus Bush was seen as the not smart son, but benign.

This time around everyone knows they are dealing with a psychopathic cult leader and his brainwashed followers.

Trump was hoping for another Florida, 537-vote situation and there's nothing even remotely close. The rest of it was to motivate the rubes.

I will be perfectly content if we win the Presidency if only so we don't have to hear and see that ugly face again. I want him out of our White House!

Truer words have never been written.

I can't wait for the day that we don't have to hear Trump sound bites.

I see you live there. I'm just waiting for somebody other than AP who has called Arizona for Biden.

Yes, he'd like to have a hail mary.....but it's becoming more about appearance....he knows he'll lose, but this allows him to use the excuse that it was stolen. Also, he's doing all he can to get his Trumpers all riled up to try and cause problems.

He's setting up millions of angry people, some of them demonstrably unstable, to believe this election was stolen.

He wants to get the mouth breathers worked up. But they
will taper off after they see they are not doing any good.
