There is my loony *** state of residence in blue. I hate this place.Here is Kevin McCullough's current electoral map
He started putting these together back around 2006 and has not missed a presidential cycle yet (including 2016)
He says that other than "media polls" he sees nothing pointing to a Biden win

The Obama administration started the war against Syria and supported the war on Yemen. Both are still going on. He didn't reduce any of the pre-existing wars either.
He was wishy washy with the red line statement in Syria. His rhetoric was weak and had an appearance of being peaceful. However, his actions increased the war machine in many areas. He started all the drone strike stuff that kills civilians. Trump is way more peaceful than Obama was or Biden would be. That is a good thing.

Here is Kevin McCullough in a recent article
"It’s still the economy, stupid.
As insulting as it sounds it’s still the bottom line. People vote their pocket book. Voters know this instinctively. Biden has nothing to show for 47 years in DC. The president built the fastest growing economy the world had ever seen. In the past four months he’s produced the fastest job growth in history at just shy of 12 million jobs created, with more than half of those lost only months before due to the virus and ensuing lockdowns. It was precisely the tax reform and deregulation of businesses that allowed the rebound to occur so quickly. And just imagine how much more the recovery would be underway if governors and mayors who are keeping their cities and states locked down for political reasons would allow them to actually open up.
Oh the pundits, Never Trumpers, and Democrats will explain away Biden’s every foible. When he says the voters “don’t deserve to know” his view on a 150-year precedent breaking idea of randomly packing the Supreme Court, they will give him a pass. When the Biden-Harris bus rolls in and six people sit in a gym in big circles drawn on the floor, the media will ignore the contrast of 40,000 supporters on a rainy tarmac in Minnesota.
But this election won’t be decided by the pundits, Never Trumpers, and swamp monsters.
The American people are the only poll that matters.
On November 3rd, President Trump won’t just win, he will break records, shift turn out patterns, and crush his way to the biggest re-election victory since Ronald Reagan."

Great article!!!
This is soooo true:
Even people holding their noses and voting for Trump because they like what he’s done ‘on paper’ express disgust and exhaustion with his constant drama, bullying, hypocrisy, blatant lying, cozying up to QAnon and ***-kissing of dictators. They describe him as a ‘bad and selfish person’ or ‘the biggest piece of **** ever’.

Didn't the majority of Illinois counties vote Red in 2016? Problem is they can't overcome the vote from Chi-Town.
Yep.

Dr. Fauci calls out Trump!!! I love it!
Anthony Fauci: New Trump campaign ad takes me 'out of context'
Asks the Trump campaign to take the ad down.

Or they could do it the old fashioned way - win Senate races, then the Presidency, then nominate who they want when a Supreme Court seat becomes open. It's an idea so crazy it might work!
Instead they first filibustered Gorsuch, losing the ability to do that in the future (such as say, right now when they really need it?).
Then the ridiculous Kavanaugh hearings, where they trotted out an old lady to claim, in a city she can't remember, in a year she can't recall, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, she got felt up by Kavanaugh and then told no one for the next 35 years. An accusation so stupid and obviously made up that even flakes like Flake didn't fall for it, and voted to confirm him.
The foolishness of it all contributed greatly to the loss of 4 sitting Democrat senators, and thus the Republicans actually gained seats in an off year election, a rare feat for a sitting president.
Now the Dems are just stuck, stewing maddeningly, beyond words, as Ginsberg is set to be replaced by Barret, and there's nothing they can do about it. Except their usual trick to try to change the game.
Note that Congressional Gerrymandering went from "hilarious partisan hi-jinks" to "mortal threat to the Republic", at exactly the same time they lost control (via being voted out) of various state legislatures, and so no longer could tip the scales in their own favor.
Court packing is the same idea. Can't win at the ballot box when it counts, so try to change the rules in their favor later.

And also because some of us have read the Democratic Party platform and cannot stand the blatant endorsement of the socialist policies that Biden and Harris are running on as Democrats.
And if Trump is a racist bully, he sure helps black people while being bullied into multiple investigations and an impeachment. Yeah, such a hypocrite bully.

Judging by the (sizable) crowd in line at the flower mound rec center for early voting , I'd say trump is kicking some serious *** here right now
Trump just needs to keep it close till Election Day. On Election Day, voters are 60% GOP.
