Beyond The Pale
If one wakes up right now....roughly 7am.....and reads Drudge or any of the Internet news sites.....and sees the headlines.....Nation Waits....Biden 238....Trump 213....Pivotal States Hang In Balance....Biden Leading Now in Wisconsin....and if that person had gone to bed around midnight.....he or she would know that there is a big problem here.
In my case......I've been through this many times over many years.....the worst that I remember was 2007 when I was up until after 3 am.....(I had to be at work at 7).....only to see a big Repulican lead for senate in Virginia slowly slip away as the late late urban votes came in at a ridiculous advantage to the Democrat who would win....and there was an initiative on the ballot where the total vote figures did not add up.
I did not care who would win this election for president....as previous posts explain....I just wanted it over....with no controversy....and I am obviously no fan of Donald Trump....but he had this election won as the evening wore on.
His non-stop rallies were something like I had never seen before. His support was also something I had never witnessed....even more impressive than that same support in 2016.....of which I had been part of at the time. On the other hand....I had watched most of those rallies.....that had the tremendous benefit of having Air Force One pull up to the stands like a Dominos Pizza delivery....and I could challenge just about every statement that the President would make....as either being outrageiously exaggerated or purposely deceptive or outright lies....but those same super-strong supporters never had this information given them by Trump's very powerful radio and cable hosts....and therefore that super-support was and is built on a a fake persona.
This whole thing is beyond the pale. Take away the 'imaginative' methods for voting this time around....and Trump gets his second term.
