    The Whitehouse is putting up unscalable walls apparently right now. Walmart has pulled all rifles off their shop floor. Businesses are boarding up their windows in preparation for the election results. I feel like this has happened in the past though for the last 2 items. I don't know why the Whitehouse needs unscalable walls around their property...

    Anyways, Nate & crew have Biden as a big leader, especially with recent polling showing Biden trending in the midwest - where Dems lost key states in 2016.
    Trump barely won swing states in 2016... the EC win total isn't indicative of the tightness.
    Biden will land 320+ of the EC. Pengwin7 Bookmark.

    They have a really tough job this year with the pandemic throwing all sorts of variables into the mix. Always a good read though.

    How anybody could support a man who is wantonly spreading illness and death throughout the country with his massive rallies is beyond me.

    His administration is claiming that they have conquered Covid-19?

    Tell that to my uncle who is currently in ICU with Covid-19, or my cousin who died two months ago of coronavirus.

    Trumps own team of epidemiologist and doctors are screaming for him to stop spreading this misinformation and stop his massive super spreader rallies. No dice.
    For Trump getting re-elected is more important than American lives.

    Disgusting.

    Here is a study of just 18 rallies between June and September.

    Let's hope Biden shuts down the conspiracy theorist paranoid president and puts him away for life.

    Need to keep as many out as possible while Trump has Pence changing all the locks on every external entry door of the whitehouse.

    if Biden wins , Trump can run again in 2024 ?

    if Trump was to win in 2024 could he be re-elected in 2028 or will 2016 and (hypothetically 2024) count as 2 terms under the max 2 term rule

    The 22nd amendment was passed by Congress in 1947, and was ratified by the states on 27 February 1951. The Twenty-Second Amendment says a person can only be elected to be president two times for a total of eight years. It does make it possible for a person to serve up to ten years as president.
