    Biden is leading decisively in almost every poll. He is leading in most swing states. He is leading in many precincts that Trump won in 2016. Yet the Democrats are setting up the big guns to denigrate a Trump win this November. They are already accusing Trump of fixing the election, stealing votes, and not accepting a loss (and they are certainly knowledgeable about such things) and staying in the white house. These are not just wild-eyed Democrat activists, but the top Democrat leadership. They are lining up hundreds of lawyers for election challenges. With Biden seemingly leading so handily, why? The only logical answer is that they fully expect Biden to lose and lose big.

    They certainly are pre-conditioning their base to be just as shocked, angry, and outraged if Trump wins 2020 as they were in 2016. The already-occurring propaganda of "Russia", election interference, and "Trump corruption" will ensure demands for another impeachment.

    Most of the polls are still using "registered voters" for their analysis. Rasmussen is about the only right-leaning pollster, so they likely still have some bias, but they have been polling "likely voters" for months, and their polls are consistently more favorable to a Trump reelection. Polling "likely voters" should be more reliable than "registered voters" as we know many registered voters won't be motivated to get off their couch on election day.

    The real answer is that both parties have lined up many lawyers in past presidential elections to monitor the election. Especially in precincts that are projected to be close. Both parties will do the same in this election.

    I uphold your right to your misinformed OPINION but the REASON for all of those lawyers is to STOP Republican Minority Voter Suppression.

    Republicans are INCAPABLE of winning when We the People are MOTIVATED to VOTE!

    2018 was just a starter compared to the Main Course Turnout in November whether in person or by mail.

    When you hear Democrats accusing Trump of not willing to concede an electoral loss in Nov, they are just letting us all know what is in their heads. The dems will refuse to accept defeat in 2020 just they refused to do in 2016

    Motivated to "vote"? Is that when they turn loose all of the drugged, diseased maniacs that seem to be their primary party asset all at once? Probably burn the poll booths; that would make sense to them. An amazing number of people are preparing for that- and they are a lot more competent than the nincompoops that think looting and burning gives them power. It will get as bad as the trash makes it, and I won't loose any sleep over their fate.

    I've been waiting to hear from a rational democrat for a long time, but they are about as common as snowballs in hell these days.
    To achieve anything, you have to vote WISELY. I do believe there are some rational, reasonable and intelligent democrats in America-perhaps terrified to speak their truth in the crowd today, but will have no such fear in the voting booth.

    Only an idiot votes for the party of Anarchy.
    Even a Sander's staff member has compared voting for Biden to eating a plate of sh*t.

    I've been listening to quite a few podcasts lately with the Weinstein brothers (Brett and Eric). Both are liberals. Brett even calls himself a "Radical Progressive Liberal", but he's been speaking loudly about the Far Left who are modelling a Maoist/Communist revolution which he believes will destroy American civilization if they win. (Not that he's voting for Trump.)

    Ted Cruz' podcast The Verdict, hosted by conservative Michael Knowles, invited progressive Eric Weinstein onto the show. His comment about the Left Wing radicals who are getting so much attention today was, ""Stupid and crazy shouldn't be part of a political spectrum, it should be a mental condition."

    This is a very good mature adult conversation (not mud-slinging fight) between the progressive and conservative views. There is a lot of agreement happening now, which the media will never tell us about.

    The democrats inability to control the ultra left wing feral idiots running amok has not gone unnoticed. Biden is a puppet candidate and that has not gone unnoticed either.

    I had dinner with a 37 year old lesbian fund manager from PA last night who is voting for Trump because she thinks if Biden is elected the left wing AOC type socialists will take over and ruin the economy.

    BLM probably would have been bigger and louder in 2016, except that they thought Clinton would win. They also were a newly organized globalist group so they've had four years to grow and establish their propaganda.

    BLM is a cash cow for the Democrat Party candidates. Donations to the BLM website don't go to help black communities. They go to ActBlue which distributes most donations directly into the campaign chests of Dem candidates. That's probably why elected Democrats are rolling over like cowards and defending the Far Left's crazy demands. They're being bribed.

    Meanwhile, the majority of the country can see that what the Far Left is doing doesn't make sense and isn't good for the country.

    How can the Left wing AOC type socialists take over and ruin the economy? First off, not every Dem is a "socialist". And I'm quite certain the Repubs in the house and senate aren't going to just lay down and let the AOC type socialists take over. Point being that a subset of congressmen and senators can't just take over the country.

    So Biden is BEATING your Covidiot WITHOUT the full support of black voters?

    Just imagine how much further AHEAD Biden will be when Obama starts campaigning for him.

    BTW your "source" falsely accused Beto O'Rourke of sending busloads of illegal immigrants to polling booths and paying them $100 to vote.

    Looks like he has a CREDIBILITY problem.

    A growing number of people on the left and the right are thinking the same. I'm not sure that pushes everyone to vote for Trump, but perhaps to be so disgusted or fearful that they don't show up for Biden either.

    Sure, you don't find him credible. That makes a difference. ;)

    The article I linked directs attention to black population polling, which is objective. Democrats need at least 90% of the black vote in America to win.

    Obama is already campaigning for Biden, since Biden is incapable of campaigning coherently on his own behalf.

    You did notice the reason they are louder this time around is George Floyd (and other black people) getting murdered, right?

    It took about year for BLM to organize as activists, supposedly as a reaction to the 2014 death of Michael Brown. Blacks killed by white police (a very small number statistically) are used as martyrs to propel a Marxist agenda. The lack of any BLM leaders going on media to speak out against police brutality should tell you that "police brutality against blacks" is not the real reason BLM exists. There has been a large increase in the loss of black lives, citizen-on-citizen, in the last two months. Black people are being murdered in ever larger numbers now. Where are the loud protests?

    2015 BLM was quieter because they figured Hillary would win. They are louder today because they are a cash cow for Dem candidates and are afraid Trump might eek out reelection.

    Either way, BLM has larger anarchic Marxist goals which have very little to do with blacks getting murdered.

    Don't get cocky! Just play it safe and VOTE. Democrats WILL cheat this election. They already are trying to with mail in ballots. You KNOW every dead person they would send one too would be written up for a vote for democrat. These are vile human beings that cannot be trusted and even if we ALL vote, there is still a good chance democrats will get the win with cheating. They would have no problem stepping over some corpses for more votes!

    In addition to the couch-locked stoners and the ones who can't read calendars, who will pretend to their dying day that they actually did vote for so-and-so...who'd you say he was, again?

    And the Bernie bros. They gave Biden most of his platform but will turn on him because....they'll think of something.

    The excitement you guys get from purposely taking comments out of context is amazing. Trump said he would not refuse to accept the result of an election until an actual election. DUH!

    It is self evident prima facie rational that universal mail in balloting poses a risk of fraud that poll voting does not have.

    Democrats want mail in balloting for one reason only. To cheat.
