If Biden does win, it'll be 2009 all over again with a Democratic president inheriting a total mess from his Republican predecessor. We'll then see, at best, a painful slow recovery out of the morass. I hope Biden has learnt from back then that he'll get no cooperation from Republicans and not waste the first two years of his administration as Obama essentially did.

And in 2024, the Republicans will complain that the recovery from 2020-24 was the 'slowest ever recovery'.

Just realized, Kamala Harris went to the same high school as Leonard Cohen.

I didn't know that, how interesting. I might have cried a little bit when Cohen died, he was brilliant.

I dreamed he died. Next morning, I found he had. My sister is still mourning.

For the first time since I've been watching (months), the 'slider' at the bottom is showing '270' in the more predictable zone; so even if Biden loses Florida, Arizona, NC, GA, OH, IA, he's still got enough votes.

Of course, we had this 'solid lead' in 2016 ...

Meanwhile, Giuliani is saying the next debate should go ahead without any changes!

I would add a little caution there has probably been a "bounce" this weekend and yet to see if it sticks.


But I don't remember Dems having this much of a "solid lead" in 2016?

That's a bit spooky! If you ever dream of winning Lotto numbers in Australia please give me a shout

It is tragic that political parties cannot put aside their differences and work together for the sake of the country. Instead they constantly have to try their best to score points off each other. It’s the same the world over and I don’t see it changing anytime soon.

Yeah but you being a day ahead they’d have already held the draw.

Jerseygirl

I’ve experienced the same a few times.

Example: when we first moved to NJ we had fabulous views of Manhattan from the condo. One night when we were in bed I told hubby that I thought Frank Sinatra had died because the Empire State Building was lit blue. Of course it wasn’t...but the next morning his death was announced. That night the ESB was lit blue to mark the death of Old Blue Eyes.

Can't you arrange to dream the winning numbers a couple of days before the draw? Come on, work with me here!

Only one way to test it; tonight spouse of scouse try your best to dream of Bill Barr, and Jerseygirl try to dream Jeff Sessions.

Stop scaring me! That would be a nightmare, not a dream

I’ll adjust my meds, it’s sure to work. So long as I wake up.
