Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 47 percent to Trump's 43 percent;
California Sen. Kamala Harris at 45 percent to Trump's 44 percent;
Former Texas U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke at 45 percent to Trump's 44 percent;

(146,317 posts)That would be a clear sign that things were turning around.
Of course, on Election night, Florida is always the last state announced. They always seem to be late counting ballots there. I guess they're waiting to see how the count should turn out or something.

(2,531 posts)thinking he won't leave. I'm afraid of the gop senators waging a coup and would certify trump if the election is close. I'll never forget Trent Lott saying he didn't care what the FL recount results showed, he was going to certify bush anyway.

(10,830 posts)We need a blowout not only to ensure the win but to foil any hijinks at the polls and/or with the machines. Much easier to cheat when the margins are slim. The Republicans have been quite willing to bend law and practice in their own direction. 2020 won't be any different.

Won't be any different but for Trump who is a proven liar and cheat.

after the comey letter, Trump led in more polls and the final average was right around the amount he won by. Q poll went from Clinton +4 to even.

(8,144 posts)problem. She was blameless; the whole thing was a nothingburger, but nonetheless. If Joe gets
done in, it will be by his own, so far trying pretty hard.
And of course, any of the Dem candidates could get a surprise from the Trump camp, which now includes our attorney general, and which is effectively keeping IC at bay so we can not depend on Trump crimes seeing the light of day.
Oh, and his open invitation for Oppo research, but again, any candidate will be a target.
Joe is the best vetted of all.

(8,144 posts)is what is happening here, in a microcosm, and will be happening all over the net.
But lets think about the assault on Obama via making Reverend Wright an issue.
The most liberal of news hosts were chawing on that YouTube video, which gave an entirely false impression of Wrights actual speech, news cycle after news cycle.
He overcame.
He also had a grass roots online army, a unit of which was called media watch, which debunked
and countered disinformation. Also, same group organized boycotts of advertisers, wrote to newspapers across the country, wrote to news producers and hosts.
