disgusting

Trump could and probably will hold on to more states than just IA (the only toss-up which I gave him in this map), but this result is actually plausible.

The huge early turnout, the influx of first-time voters, and pandemic situation that has everyone miserable, and the fact he’s never cracked 50% approval even once since his first few days as President all point toward a landslide.

Speaking only for myself, I voted for McCain in ‘08, then libertarian in ‘12 and ‘16. I didn’t care at all about Trump’s victory, even though my liberal friends were freaking out. I thought that he ran an offensive campaign but figured that he would grow and mature into the office of President. And I stayed pretty okay with Trump even through the Russiagate stuff. The economy was still doing well, after all, and he hadn’t gotten us into any new wars.

Ukrainegate/impeachment is what really turned me against Trump, and woke me up to the fact he’s a wannabe fascist willing to do anything to torpedo an election opponent and is totally enabled by the GOP in his malfeasance and corruption. All the awful statements he made that I once dismissed as merely cringey now seemed a part of an unmistakable pattern of abuse. In 2020, he has gone from bad to worse.

Trump’s offensiveness has awakened a deep reserve of anger in so many different groups: Blacks and Latinos certainly, women definitely, LGBTQ folks, the college-educated in general, the young, and even the elderly now with his callous response to Covid.

Two weeks ago I cast my first ballot ever for a Democrat to be President, and I couldn’t have felt better about it.

So, if I (a straight white boy from the South) feel this immense anger toward Trump and have been driven farther Left than ever before in my life because of Trump’s antics, I can’t imagine I’m the only one.

I like Bill Weld because of what he said about trump and treason.

Bill Weld and Jerry Brown were (are) two politicians in my opinion who could balance their ideologies and make compromises. I miss politicians who are willing to compromise.

It's possible.
