NBC News Electoral College Map breakdown

Based on current polling the projected scorecard is:

Biden: 334
Trump: 125

Aside from Trump’s ongoing abject failure in handling the pandemic, Biden just dropped a $280M ad buy. The VP pick will give him an additional boost (we all know it is going to be Kamala Harris). The Democratic Party is relatively unified. The Democrats have a great convention planned that will give a boost and after seeing Trump get taken down by Wallace and Swan I am very confident about the debates. The NRA is dissolved. Indictments are going to drop on Trump from the SDNY say...11 days before the election sounds about right So it is looking pretty good. I know anything can happen but knowing you are winning is motivating I think and feeling like you are losing is demoralizing. Right now we are kicking Trump’s ass. Biden has run a great campaign so far I think. Far better than I anticipated and I am pleasantly surprised.

The downside? When Biden wins he will have one hell of a mess to clean up.

We shall see. My hope is that it won’t be too bad for this reason. If they keep pointing out they are going to claw the money back from LaPierre and return it to NRA members and they may get a check in the mail, perhaps it will temper it.

"Rep. X. Do our bullshit and we'll give you $$$$ + $$. "

Now they ain't got bupkis to bribe Congress.

Trump will include this in a couple of speeches but it looks like N.R.A. members are not buying it. Most realize they've been snookered.

They could fund a really ugly campaign. I think the dems need to be proactive and have anti nra ads.
