    Yeah. Rick Santorum, from Pennsylvania, was pretty grim on Trump chances and feels it's even worse if the majority of the mail-ins remaining are coming from Philadelphia, which has been going at a 90-10 split for Biden.

    Yeah, I think when it's all counted, Biden wins by around 100,000 votes in PA.

    Well, at least 50K

    They are being super cautious. I might be wrong, but my recollection is when Clinton conceded on election night, Trump's lead was smaller than what Biden has right now.

    Yea, they've been almost afraid of calling anything it seems. I'm still surprised Fox/AP called AZ so early considering.
     
    Interesting conversation with Bob Casey who believes there may be even more ballots than the numbers reported because he doesn't believe they are including the post-election day ballots that have come/are coming in.

    Yep. The ballots had to be postmarked by election day and received by this Friday.

    Dang, did he just say he expects Biden by 100k?

    Maybe, but I doubt it will last long. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't flee the country. If he does, the establishment, many of whom have long despised Trump, will be happy to fill the void.

    Yep. If New York continues pursuing him, then he'll probably flee to take up residence in some country without an extradition treaty with the U.S. Thing is that his properties are spread around the world, so even if he doesn't do time, he will have to pay.
     
    Adventures in social media.

    I made a Facebook post that said "The result of 2000 election wasn't determined until December 12 when the Supreme Court ordered Florida to end its recount. Federal election law provides key dates of December 8 and December 23. Not having the result yet is anxious but it is by no means unprecedented or outside of the process."

    Then a guy I know and actually think is a smart guy and usually reasonable posts "You're right but the media is just so biased I can't stand it. In Michigan, there are more than 100K votes right now than there are registered voters! MSM isn't covering it at all."

    So I write back "Well, what's your source on that, I'd like to see if that's even accurate before commenting."

    No response. So I take matters into my own hands with literally three minutes of research. According to Michigan.gov, as of July 2020 there were 7.4M total registered voters in Michigan, 6.7M of which were considered "active" because they have voted at least once in the last 8 years. Also on Michigan.gov, the current election results, valid through this morning at 8:30AM showed 5.6M total votes for president.

    So the entire premise is pure junk and it has this generally reasonable person fuming. And for a second there, I had to consider what explanations there might be. But this just shows how the way most Americans interact with their system of government and the way that they perceive events is often heavily influenced by pure fiction.

    That's gonna be weird with his Secret Service detail.
    Imagine him in prison.

    I guess this will be for another thread, but I wonder what happens to Melania and the rest of the Trump family if he flees. That's gonna be a huge mess, I think.

    Reply saying "You're right! The media *is* lying to you. Just not the way you think."
    Post your research and conclude "Someone's trying to game your mind. Why would they lie to you like that? Because for damn sure there's a reason."

    Is there an update for these numbers? This will have a big effect on the Senate.
