Without the usual Dem shenanigans, I agree. It’s gonna come down to how much cheating they can get away with in a few swing states.

You, Andy and AM. Never give up.
Let's break this down: andy, stink and I have VERY different perspectives on what concerns each of us about Donald Trump's chances for winning back the White House. The only common thread is that none of us are cowed by the Trumplet chorus here from openly stating our opinions.
While I don't agree with andy's kneejerk pessimism, nor with stink's entrenched conviction that there is no overcoming leftist cheating, I am entirely proud to be grouped with these two posters who are not afraid to state their views. (There are plenty of others here who also fit that same description, but for whatever reason you chose to call out the three of us.)
One other common thread I will point out: like every liberal woman, you WSME seem to have a pants-wetting incident every time you are confronted with an opinion with which you disagree. I'm told that Midol can help with those painful cramps.
Now, that’s funny.
Monarch, while you bailed out Andy in this thread his overall defeatist attitude does leave something to be desired.
I grew up in the Eighties and everything including our music was fight for what you want or believe regardless of repercussions or consequences. No matter how much the odds were stacked against you.
I no longer talk much about my football playing days but I will for Andy because he needs to hear this. My first season our HC was fired in season and we limped through that year.
Our second year our new HC came into a program that hadn’t won in years. He changed things up a bit the week before we were to travel to Arkansas to play the Razorbacks. You know you get to hear a lot of pregame psych speeches and I’ve heard quite a few of them.
Coach started out by saying he played for Darrel Royal at Texas where it was expected to be great. Anything less than a street brawl was unacceptable.
But, what he said next is what I’ll always remember.
He opened up a newspaper and said boys all the sports writers in the paper picked Arkansas to win. All the guys on ESPN picked Arkansas to win. Every news and sports outlet has predicted an Arkansas win. So, I guess I only have one question to ask you, Are they better than you every day of the year? Well, I’m sure they’re not and today just could be the day they are not.
I could ran through a brick wall as well as everyone on our team. It lit hope.
We beat the h3ll out of Arkansas that day. The score didn’t reflect the total domination on the field. After the game, the fans were so bad Ark HC Hatfield tried to go in the stands to fight.
Mind you, this was the old Southworst Conference where Arkansas was a national powerhouse in those days. Not the also ran of today.
So, if you believe your defeated before hand you will be defeated in the present.
