Handle9: Trumps rants don't have much overt support from republicans. Most of them are ignoring him.

Now, when they've realised they backed the wrong horse. Up until a week ago it was quite another story.

Not really. Early on in Trumps regime when he showed us his true colours, there were GOP people bagging him, including senators. Usually you expect a love affair with the supreme leader, but he's always had Senators who had concerns over his behaviour. I feel if there was an anonymous vote prior to this election that would show a big swath of resentment. Even puppet Pence when asked to say a few words after Trump on the first TV announcement overruled Trumps comments. Trump added huge value in 2016, but he's been eroding the GOP ever since. Believe it or not, most politicians want the best for the US, Trump affects that.

That doesn't necessarily mean what you think it means. Consider that Hitler wanted the best for Germany, and in fact a great many dictators and tyrants want the best for their country, it's just that their definition of what's "best" differs from most peoples'. In the Republicans' case, "best" could be "Republicans in charge of everything", which at least 50% of the US populations would disagree with.

I don't equate most US politicians with Hitler or Trump.

A fair chunk of US politics are a massive mess. The democrats are much the same level of sh1t show as the republicans just in a different wrapper and with different pet issues.

Trump is leading in Georgia by only 463 votes at this time. Impossible to say who'll prevail in the end.

I'll give it a lash

There are 10,000 uncounted votes left. Irregardless of red or blue county, they are skewed about 80% to Biden. Make it a conservative 75%. That means that 50% of the 10,000 are a Biden net gain. 5000 - 463 is about a 4500 win. There are military and true absentee votes, not sure how many, probably not that many. Military favours Republican. Close

Pennsylvania is the same but Biden is 18000 behind but 160,000 uncounted. That should be an easy 75:25 split, so 80,000 gain, About 60,000 win.

If Biden gets Georgia, Trump cannot reach 270

If Biden gets Penn, he is POTUS

Biden will win Georgia until the absentee ballots. There are just under 9000 of those so it's a bit of a lottery.

It won't really matter. Biden is going to win Pennsylvania comfortably.

https://results.decisiondeskhq.com/ DecisionDesk says he has Georgia in the lead with 99% in and just under a 1000 votes.

Sure. I'm hearing things of a similar vein from both directions. People read Facebook headlines as facts and pass it on. Splurge out enough rubbish that looks like news and people might believe some percentage is true.

Biden leading in Georgia by 917 votes. You have to wonder when it’s this close what would happen if there was a recount.

Recounts don't tend to change result.
