    Ann Coulter did a good column about it back in the day. It was about how the Pol Pot Left would have great poll numbers but the voters were too strung out to get off their couches and actually vote. As time went on, votes started to catch up to the polls. She posited that the Left simply stole the votes needed to catch up to the phony polls.

    I hear Hillary simply fell short of the number she thought she needed to steal in 2016

    The entire "voter id laws are racist" narrative for starters.

    Sad that you actually believe that asinine drivel constitutes CREDIBLE nonpartisan evidence for your utterly BOGUS allegations but it does say VOLUMES about WHY you spout that unsubstantiated bovine excrement.

    Because Democrats can't win elections without stealing them? Look, if Democrats are the one's spouting nonsense like, "voter ID is racist", pointing out the truth is GOING to come out as partisan.

    Laws targeting minority voters are no different today than they were during the Jim Crow era.

    Are you both trying to state that requiring voter ID is racist? Now that is silly and bigoted. I have photo ID and anyone claiming to be responsible enough to vote should as well. I have those kinds of expectations of competence of people regardless of race. You two as well? Or are you caught up in the soft bigotry of low expectations?
    EDIT: Trying to get back on point: The general election season has not yet really begun. I do not think Biden can win for Democrats if he keeps hiding in his basement, or slumbering through what little appearances he does make. Trump is going to destroy him. And early ads showing Biden supporters burning down cities and trying to erase this great nation are going to help Trump end Biden's career. We can hope.

    Republican Judge Posner has said that.

    Republicans keep trying different ways to cheat. They wind up in court, and most of the time the judge asks for proof, and they never have it.

    SSDD...

    Not sure what you are writing. You think requiring voter ID is racist? Because that is garbage, regardless of who said it.

    Voter ID laws are not inherently racist, but they do have an inherently disproportionate impact on voters that are more likely to vote Democrat, including minorities.

    And that is the reason why Republicans support voter ID laws.

    Radical over generalization. I'm a radical right wing Republican reptile and I support voter ID law as I think it a fair and reasonable requirement to ask of competent people. I do not presume the incompetence of people based upon race. I leave that to the Left.
    And I worked with people I knew to be part of a triangle trade. They would collect government benefits in a number of different states. Failure of tracking and communications made it so that very few of them ever got caught. I recall only one that got real publicity. One. While I knew it to be happening commonly. I'm sure the same thing could be done without good voter ID and tracking: that democrats could travel state to state voting multiple times.
    If the democratic party is as corrupt and abusive as I think they are, if there is a way to abuse the system, you can figure they're doing it whether they get caught or not.

    When the NBC-WSJ poll was released one month ago and prompted this article, the 11 point generic balloting lead for Democrats was an outlier. And the RCP average was 8.6.

    Now, The RCP average is +11.

    The polls don't reflect the great job the president has done over the past few days in uniting white supremists in every corner of the country. Trying to force the states to send kids back to school is another winning issue. Donald is going to ride Traveler, that was Bobby Lee's horse on to victory in November.

    In 2018? The fact Democrats could not win even more than ~390 seats in a single election.

    If you had told me in 2016 that electing donald trump would mean a recession 4 years later, hundred thousand plus dead from a virus, and a country on the verge of a racially based civil war....

    I would have said, "yea, that makes sense."

    This recession came from Wuhan China and it didn't care who was President.

    Benedict Donald had been cutting interest rates to stave off the imminent recession long BEFORE the virus was even heard of.
