I dunno, if anything WI/Fl/NC are the biggest swing states....if the Dems can lock down even one of them its over by a long shot. Polling has Biden ahead right now in WI and FL and only down a pt or so in NC......if you flip WI and AZ the Dems still win, if the GOP wins WI and AZ but lose FL the Dems win...etc etc etc.....Trump supporters fail to understand just how close Trump came to losing in 2016....its was literally by 75k votes spread over 3 states.....thats the only thing between Trump and Hillary being president. Trumps support in those 3 states is terrible right now, and the Dems are extremely motivated to remove him, chances he wins one much less all three of those states is low....if he loses one of them and then say AZ he loses...people that think Trump is gonna crush it in 2020 are nuts...he will lose the popular vote and scrape by on EC if he wins...he has to keep AZ and win at least two of MI/WI/PA and not lose FL or NC to win...again not likely IMO.

Your giving polling wayyyy too much credit. I went back yesterday and did a ton of research on 2018/2016 polling and it’s terrible. I’m not even gonna study any polls for this cycle until September

Have you been paying attention to special elections this year? Dems are in big trouble even with mail-in ballets. For example, within the last month a county in Pennsylvania that was all dems and deep in Hillary country just voted out 4 dem county commissioners and replaced them with 4 Republicans. Republicans just won 2 special ellections in California after Nate Silver predicted a "blue wave" that didn't show up. Be ready for the Red Tsunami.

The Dems have won the majority of the special elections since 2016, and the Dems way out performed the GOP in 2018. Do you really think the GOP is going to win CA in the national election? We both know Biden wins CA so it doesnt matter one bit what happened in those two special elections.

2020 comes down to WI/PA/MI/FL/NC/OH/AZ, Trump needs at least 5 of them...these are the states where polling suggest Trump is in trouble....Trump won all of them in 2016. All Biden really has to do is win back WI/MI/PA which Trump won on a combined total of 75k votes....if the Dems take those 3 states back its over. Trump is seriously in trouble though in AZ/NC/FL as well....there will be no red tsunami, the GOP will be lucky to hold the senate, the Dems keep the HOR and probably take the WH.

Not trying to pick a fight but I will just say, both sides want the other side to pick a candidate that they know has no chance of winning. Nicki Haley would be one of those candidates.

Half of those are bucket of fails. I say that as someone who voted for Rubio over Trump and who voted for Romney. How long before people who hate Trump realize why we have Trump in the first place.

We have Trump because the GOP let 17 people, had there only been 3 or 4 then Trump would not have gotten the early boost and lost....Trump got less votes than the total combined other candidates, thats the only time that has ever happened. Another words more people voted for someone other than Trump in the 2016 GOP primaries.

That means he won. That is like Dale Jr winning a NASCAR Race when everyone else wrecked spectacularly and saying he didn’t really win it. Trump won because a large number of GOP voters wanted to shoot a bird at the establishment and they did. The GOP stupidly ran MCCain and his doofus VP candidate and were blown out, then the ran Romney and Ryan who got their butt kicked by Obama when he was definitely beatable. If the GOP is stupid again, they can run another establishment candidate and they will get kicked again in 2024.

The gop is a dying dinosaur. It either needs to evolve some or go extinct.

General population counts show that the GOP lags significantly behind. Sure these are the major cities but the rise of non Christian believers is growing and acceptance of of many social taboos still preached in church is getting louder. What's the GOP to do when its entire social message is frowned upon?

You're side predicted a Hillary landslide the day of the election. How did that turn out for you?

Correct. Let's see. We're watching the destruction of major Blue state economies resulting from tyrannical lock-downs, and we're watching the physical destruction of major Blue state cities by ANTIFA and BLACK LIVES MATTER. I agree with you the party dying is the one eating its own. Did you see the Dem mayor booed by dems yesterday for not wanting to dissolve the police department?

As of June 2020 including 2019, six special elections for the U.S. House of Representatives had already occurred. Republicans have won all but one:
