Well…with the election coming up fast, I thought I’d do a countdown post every day until then to talk about what I see happening and what the state of the race is. So, here goes…in the overall, it appears that Joe has a pretty good chance to win with being up around 10% nationally but, as every pollster says, it not the national polls that mean anything but the state polls that are the important ones….so, if we look at the state polls for the swing states that idiot boy won by 77,000 votes in 2016, Joe is up by 7 in Pennsylvania, up by 9 here in Michigan, by 9 in Minnesota, and by double digits in Wisconsin….so what does that mean? It means that I would much rather be our side than the repubs…especially since the Cook political report just moved Texas from lean r to tossup…and that means that Joe has a 50-50 chance to win Texas…I’m not sure I really believe that yet but there have been a few good polls for Joe lately that puts him up by 3-4% so maybe…and if Joe wins Texas, it’s all over for trump. Even Florida has started to turn for Joe in the latest polls that have him ahead by maybe 2% there….so there are many paths to get to 270ev for Joe but as the days go by and we get closer to the election, the doors appears to be shutting on idiot boy…can we breathe a little yet? I think so, but damn it…get out to vote to make sure we are smiling on the 4th…I can’t go through another night like 2016….

Can we have hope yet?
Well…I think this next week is going to be one of the most stressful in my life after enduring 4 years of bullshit from the idiot trump and his criminal minions….maybe just one more week and we can have hope…can we start that now? It appears that all of the lying of trump and his cronies trying to tar Joe with something, something Ukraine….no China…no..fracking, no…you get the point…none of these lying smears have stuck and Bill Barr has disappeared so what’s the next “October surprise?” It appears that even Putin and Netanyahu have given up on trump by pointedly saying that they haven’t seen any evidence of Biden wrongdoing and they look forward to working with “anyone” who can repair relations in the world. Yeah, does that sound like idiot boy? Nope. Oh, and my ballot has made it to the city clerk and will be counted on election day…so, now is it time to have hope? The polls have mostly been good for Joe across the country this past week with him being up almost 12% here in Michigan and Gary Peters is up by 5…by only 5? Have you seen the lies that John James has been spewing about Gary? Oh, and don’t watch Pluto tv until after the election…it appears it is really cheap advertising since every damn commercial is a political one and I got tired of turning it off when the idiot boy and his cronies come on and lie and lie and lie. Look, I think I’ll continue to do some more of these freeform posts since I need it to lower my stress level…I remember election day 2016 vividly and I’m not sure I can survive another day like that one….I just hope that my fellow progressive have gotten out to vote and we can eradicate the moron next Tuesday….I need to have some hope…
Dropped my ballot off….
Well…I’m finding it pretty darn hard to just sit here and do nothing while I wait for the temp to come up enough to get out on the bike in shorts…so, I decided to take a quick trip over to the Leonard street library to drop my ballot off and complete my voting for the election in November. It was a little more work doing the research for the non-partisan part of the ballot than normal since the GR press doesn’t do a voter’s guide anymore and the Mlive site that is supposed to replace it won’t let you access it if you have an ad blocker on and I won’t look at the damn ads and pop ups they try to force you to see….but, I did find the information in other places so no big deal. I think it’s really cool that they have a way to circumvent the post office with all of the damage that trump’s cronies have done to it…and look, voting frickin counts…if we had a repub SOS, there wouldn’t be any drop boxes anywhere in the state or just a few….just like the governor of Texas who decreed that there is only going to be one drop box for every county, a voter suppression method that shows clearly that the repubs will do anything to make sure people can’t vote…and that is because when we vote, we win…so, vote…
Politics noodling…
Well…running late for this one today after working on the house for 4 hours again today…but I did want to do a political one…don’t really have a big topic but I think I’ll noodle about some stuff I read today…don’t remember who the pollster was but there is one who is working on the swing states and has found a couple of things…that demographic changes that have happened since 2016 have taken away the razor thin trump advantages in three states he needs to win…especially in Michigan where suburban women are becoming more and more appalled with the idiot trump’s racism but the idiot is too damn dumb to understand that appealing only to his base is a losing strategy for 2020….ole Mitch McConnell is starting to feel the heat for his putting Russia ahead of the US by blocking every election security bill that has been sent to the senate by the House…calling them “partisan” so he won’t even put them up for a vote…he even went on the senate floor the other day to whine about being called “#moscowmitch” for not doing a damn thing to protect our elections from the Russians…oh, and he worked hard to remove sanctions from one of the Russian oligarchs who worked with trump to steal the election just so he would “invest” 200 million dollars in an aluminum plant in McConnell’s home state…a reward to ole Mitch for lifting the sanctions…or no, a bribe to Mitch to get him to free up billions in sanctions on the oligarch…but no, he’s not in bed with the Russians…don’t believe your lyin’ eyes…geez….
