    I'm predicting Biden will win by a 279 - 259 margin.

    Nothing spectacular Trump has economically achieved.

    In fact, it was quite easy to increase the GDP from a “dismal” 1.6% to 2.9%, and here’s how;

    Sweep all environmental concerns under the rug
    Give every citizens and businesses huge tax cuts
    Increase deficit spending “substantially”
    Revive the old economy.

    GDP Results:

    2016.....1.6%
    2017......2.3%
    2018......2.9%
    2019......2.2%

    Thus, just another huge party financed by Treasuries.

    In fact, our last 2.2% GDP, MINUS Government Consumptions Trump increased from $1.245 trillion to $1.430 trillion, thus, a net increase of $185 billion over two years), would have brought us back to Obama’s “dismal” 1.6% GDP. Government Consumptions (GCE) is a GDP component, and $1 GCE = $1 GDP.

    IN ADDITION, in today’s dollars, Trump’s FY2019 Receipts and Obama’s FY2016 Receits are AT PAR!

    A very strange phenomena, considering the fact that Clinton’s and Bush’s economic booms increased Receipts as a percent of GDP from 16% up to 20%, and Trump lowered his Receipts as a percent of GDP from 17% to 16%.

    However, according to the below average intelligent people, in nominal terms, we had record revenues.

    QUESTION;

    Had we maintained Obama’s FY2016 deficit at $570 billion, would Trump’s loyalists be chanting “Best economical times we ever had”

    ANSWER; Absolutely not!

    My prediction is we'll continue selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, Yemen will remain the greatest humanitarian crisis in the world, the war on terror will persist, and healthcare expenses will remain the #1 cause of bankruptcy for American citizens

    Trump wins.
    Biden refuses to concede due to mail in ballots still needing to be counted
    Riots erupt across America, as liberals make a final push for chaos
    Biden (Joe and/or Hunter) is arrested because of the hard drive scandal
    Biden cuts a deal, a reduced or dropped sentence in exchange for conceding
    Trump wins. The military puts down the riots. America is made great again

    A study done at Harvard University indicates that this is the biggest cause of bankruptcy, representing 62% of all personal bankruptcies. One of the interesting caveats of this study shows that 78% of filers had some form of health insurance, thus bucking the myth that medical bills affect only the uninsured.

    Thanks for confirming medical expenses are the #1 cause of personal bankruptcy. The fact even people with insurance sometimes have to declare bankruptcy indicates the problem is worse than previously thought.

    I am happy to help you prove that 78 percent of those filing using medical as the excuse do have insurance.

    Lee, no matter what, deaths and much more, something ends up being number 1.

    CV19 is not number 1, heart disease is number 1.

    Ahh ... maybe Trump should just let the little babies have their way. Yes, a Trump victory will be better than a good thing. It will be the only thing.

    Or explain why it wouldn't be.

    Trump will not concede until after Dec. 6 even if it's clear he lost.

    Trump wins and as a result no recounts or court battles. Those would only happen if Trump lost.

    If Biden wins all votes are assumed in.
    If Trump wins, the hunt for "uncounted"votes will start, and ballots will be found in attics, car trunks and storage rooms....

    If Biden wins the Media is in fact too corrupt and powerful and the American public is much dumber than I thought they could ever be.

    Trump easily wins the Electoral College vote and narrowly wins the popular vote. Or in other words, Biden ends up doing even worse than Hillary.

    And, for the record:

    I will say this though (in all seriousness):

    IF Trump is sworn in on Jan. 20, 2021 I will be shocked.

    1000x worse than I was shocked when Trump won in 2016.

    2016 was an embarrassment for the country. This time it would be an outright tragedy.

    Biden could take all 50 states (not goanna happen) and Trump would still claim he won.

    I'm not sure if our members can't read and comprehend or they just like to be argumentative.
    Come on folks, just predict a winner's name and vote totals for the record (check the OP). I'll post the predictions after the election.

    If Texas flips, Biden 400+. If not, Biden 350-390. That's my prediction. No way Trump wins regardless.

    I don't look forward to seeing any of that in Republicans if we win. I hope we can come together and bring back this country to the greatness it had before Trump.
