This IS fast….
Update….
Although there have been reports that Donald Trump would hold campaign-style rallies to push his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the election, Bloomberg reports the president is not scheduled to appear at any of them.
Instead, any events “will be pop-up ones, like boat parades.”
….
Donald Trump wants to change the score….
He’s lost….
So he’s gonna try to sell America on the idea that he didn’t ‘really’ lose…..
It won’t work….
He’s not going quietly
His son-in-law reportedly tried to get him to concede ….
But THAT hasn’t worked either….
He’s just not ready to deal with reality….
This while the pandemic gets worst…..
President Donald Trump’s campaign is planning a messaging blitz to fuel its argument — unsupported by any evidence to date — that the President’s second term is being stolen from him through corrupt vote counts in battleground states, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Nate Silver thinks Biden/Harris popular vote margin could be between Obama’s 2008 (7.3%) and 2012 (3.9%) margins. Most likely around 5%.
No small feat.
Also Biden’s margin of victory in Pennsylvania is now larger than Trump’s was in that state four years ago, and will likely widen a bit more considering the little vote that’s out there to be counted is overwhelmingly from heavily Democratic areas.
Yea Scott….
Recount’s do NOT change THOUSANDS of votes….
If that’s true, Biden might be one of the relatively few Democratic candidates to win more than 50% of the vote (as Obama did twice, as well as did Andrew Jackson and FDR; the other Dems who won 50%+ just once were LBJ, Van Buren, Pierce, Tilden and Carter).
These are the Democratic candidates who won more than 49% of the national popular vote:
1964 – 61.05% — LBJ
1936 – 60.80% — FDR 2
1932 – 57.41% — FDR 1
1828 – 55.97% — Jackson 2
1940 – 54.74% — FDR 3
1832 – 54.23% — Jackson 3
1944 – 53.39% — FDR 4
2008 – 52.87% — Obama 1
2012 – 51.06% — Obama 2
1876 – 50.92% — Tilden (lost)
1852 – 50.84% — Pierce
1836 – 50.83% — Van Buren 1
1976 – 50.08% — Carter 1
1960 – 49.72% — JFK
1948 – 49.55% — Truman
1844 – 49.54% — Polk
1916 – 49.24% — Wilson 2
1996 – 49.23% — Bill Clinton 2
Good ole ‘ Joe, eh?
Biden will likely get around 52% of the popular vote to Trump’s 46 or 47%.
4 to 5 million?
