Hers is to a tune of $40 trillion
Obviously that's nonsense. No doubt you're using that medicare-for-all figure that neglects to take into account the current costs of private healthcare.

Driving me nutz this comparison between Clinton 2016 and now. What’s the point? Even CNN was confused looking at the wrong election year quoting when thinking it was 2020. Hey, we know what happened in 2016, CLINTON LOST,

Trump will most likely win mainly because the power of the incumbency. Exceptions were jimmy carter and gorge bush senior. And Bill Clinton had Ross Perot to thank for his win.

Interesting however to watch the map readers grasping for straws by over emphasizing the different counties. They hope, it doesn’t happen, and on to the next county.

These are the throngs of utter morons voting Trump. Covid is a terrible pandemic, but the epidermis of ignorant Trumphumpers is far worse
There's a quote from Jefferson who, when asked about the cost of public education, said that the cost of tyrants who would rise up due to ignorance would be far greater.

Remember, a number of states that will decide this election will not get done until next week.

Been hearing that a lot of seniors have started leaning to Biden in FL, for weeks.
And they failed to deliver, Biden down 175K with little left to make it up, the Latino vote was much stronger for Hillary
and she still lost.

Let’s remember, Biden was losing during the primaries until South Carolina and Jim Clyburn. Then in order for party minority leaders to sign on to Joe, they absolutely insisted that Joe Biden choose a minority woman as his vp. And so Joe did, and here we are, screwed blued and tattooed. Come on Democrats, you have become your own worst enemy.

Well, if by a minor miracle Texas flips to D, it could be over tomorrow.

But looking more and more like Pennsylvania will be the deciding state, and likely too close to call until end of this week or sometime next week. And if its that close, you know there's going to be litigation as Trump team tries to stop the Pennsylvania count (if he's ahead), or challenges the result and tries to get ballots thrown out (if he's behind).

Ohio might be a big change over 2016. tRump needs Ohio. That also shows what may happen in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan say hello. If Joe takes Ohio, it is a big win.

Ohio looking good. A friend of mine from Ohio is telling me a lot of his Republican friends in Ohio voted Biden.

I don't recall OH being a battleground state, so I'm skeptical that the Biden lead will hold. NBC News reported that early counting were mail-in ballots, while the bulk of canvassing to go are from in-person voting. The big lead has already been sliced in half with 40% of the count left to go.

Barring any shocks tonight, it looks like the election will come down to the Blue Wall + Arizona.

Edit:
I was wrong about OH, didn't realize it's one of the swing states this time.
