Asshole voters in battleground states won't change their minds:
His advantage in the Electoral College, relative to the national popular vote, may be even larger than it was in 2016, according to an Upshot analysis of election results and polling data.
That persistent edge leaves him closer to re-election than one would think based on national polls, and it might blunt any electoral cost of actions like his recent tweets attacking four minority congresswomen.
For now, the mostly white working-class Rust Belt states, decisive in the 2016 election, remain at the center of the electoral map, based on our estimates. The Democrats have few obviously promising alternative paths to win without these battleground states. The president’s approval ratings remain higher in the Sun Belt battlegrounds than in the Rust Belt, despite Democratic hopes of a breakthrough.
A strategy rooted in racial polarization could at once energize parts of the president’s base and rebuild support among wavering white working-class voters. Many of these voters backed Mr. Trump in the first place in part because of his views on hot-button issues, including on immigration and race.

Remember the Russians only have to move 100k votes. He knows that and the Reps know that and the 1% have paid the piper.

Fuck you. How should the regular American react to this disgusting double standard? These people are above the law.Chief Justice Roberts Orders Indefinite Delay in House Fight for President Trump's Tax Records
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Jesus, these guys lives are so far removed from the rest of us it's a wonder we listen to them at all. They cheat, lie and steal with impunity.

There's nothing illegal about cheating, lying and stealing with impunity - and a top-notch legal team.

Yep. It only makes sense to me if their aim is to hurt as many people as possible. They don't want to be heroes. They want to hurt you.
