    If my memory is correct, about 1984 everyone was predicting the end of the democrats. For those that weren't around, that was when someone names Ronald Raygun won 49 of the 50 states over somebody named Walter Mundane. (Sorry, old jokes came back on me. ) This stuff is cyclical.

      I understand the latest Rasmussen poll (for whatever any poll is worth) has a nationwide 53% of the voting population as being "satisfied" with Trump's performance as president. That's unusually high for any president. Maybe some of that is sympathy?

        Even more unusual for a president with that high of an approval rating to lose reelection.

          True. But the same Rasmussen poll conducted before the election was lower. It was at 44% on October 7.

          My gut instinct is that people are feeling sympathetic toward Trump, or they are uneasy about the election results. Maybe both.

            Without any evidence of fraud, there is no reason to investigate.

            Otherwise, you have to investigate every election.
            It is coming to light that the Dominion Voting system will shut down if the pre-programmed algorithms go too far out of whack. And this is what is being claimed in Pennsylvania, where all of the rural counties suddenly stopped reporting all at the same time, at 64%.

            Trump votes overwhelmed the system.

              I look forward to hearing that from a reputable source.

                This attempted coup could put a few Repubs behind bars. Never seen anything like it but the misinformation is flying.
