I know it's not going go turn blue, but the fact RCP lists Texas as a battleground state amazes me.

That's the gloomiest map so far I think.

I'm going to buck the trend and predict Iowa for Joe.

Unless Biden collapses in the debates, 7-8% national poll advantage seems really hard to claw back from, even if Trump has an EC advantage.

Still sweating it after 2016, though...

I don't think I ever imagined my choices in 2021 could be between making a home in Brexit Britain or a home in Trumpian America. :weep:

I'm naturally pessimistic and yet Joe came ahead.

25% is low but its not zero...just saying.
As a stats guy, I can confirm that this statement is true.

Well a big polling advantage doesn't mean much if people don't vote. This is a chaotic time with the pandemic and protests and everything else.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

You Iowans have an endearing faith in your home state.

I am still predicting Wyoming will go solid for Trump.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

My best friend is from a small town in Iowa. She and I regularly ask each other, "What happened to Iowa?" whenever the Iowa Trumpers are highlighted on the news, etc. It's just not the state that we grew up in. We're both hoping that they pull their collective heads out of their asses and vote for Biden this election. To restore our faith in them.

I am in Iowa right now visiting my in-laws and they're voting for Joe. :hmm:

Down in the Quad Cities   :showoff:

Yeah. That's the east side of the state. The northwest corner is Crazy Country. :wacko:

I'm going to predict a Trump victory or coup attempt. That way, I win either way. :D
