I think Minnesota might have a decent chance of going red, especially after that stunt the Governor pulled yesterday

China spends less than 2% of it's GDP on military forces. This is not a pattern of spending consistent with wanting to conquer anything now or during the close future, especially given that the Chinese programs of electrification in transportation systems may need additional twenty-thirty years.
The PRC COULD match and go above late-USSR levels of spending, as it's economy is stronger, but there is no political will currently. Around 2050, maybe (but who knows what may happen that far in the future, beyond very naive extrapolation).

Ah I love the smell of missile spam in the morning
I wonder if the Republicans will take back the House.

If it was a honest election I have absolutely no doubt they would. Heck it would probably be a super majority.
Now with all the lies and cheating and media nonsense? Hard to guess.
I think they will but who knows whats going to happen.

People in Solid Blue states could do with playing and convincing people to vote 3rd party. Let people know about the 5% law and that will make a lot of otherwise non-voting Rpublicans in those states, and even some Democrats that are burned out consider voting for a 3rd party. Not out of a desire for them to actually win due to the massive counter weight but it will deal a blow to the 2 party system.

This is a nice place but also a somewhat conservative bubble, and with it comes conservative wishful thinking. Trump had a great chances to win before COVID, but after society was shocked and economy greatly damaged. Who is truly guilty of that is not important at all, not to many US voters. Shortly speaking, I believe that his victory is now improbable. Of course, many people here disagree - well, we will see soon.

I severelly disagree. COVID economic damage was bad, but Trump has been working hard and the USA is already strong on the way to recovery. The BLM riots are gonna play a bigger role here, as they were solid Dem bullshit and Biden and his party wasted no time Kow-Towing to them which bit them in the ass as the protests turned into violent riots.

Didn't gdp go up 33 points or percent last quarter?
Some huge record breaking number?
And the first thing Biden wants to do is get rid of the tax cuts and raises taxes?
Anyone that knows anything about the economy knows Trump is better.

Lets see:
He's already looking at getting 31% of the black vote, higher than any previous GOP POTUS, and is pulling in more Latino vote than Romeny already.
He's brought back jobs to the US that Obama claimed were gone for good, and got the USMCA passed.
He's gotten 3 R justices onto SCOTUS, and 300~ R federal judges.
He's gotten actual peace deals signed between Israel and Arab states, along with Serbia and Kosovo.
He's gotten the military a raise for the first time in ages and unfucked the VA system.
He's got medical billing transparency passed, as well as massively lowered the price of many drugs, particularly insulin.
He's severely hampered illegal immigration and got massive sections of the Border Wall built.
He's pulled us out of the horrible Iran deal and whack Solemani, who was responsible for a massive number of US troop deaths in Iraq.
His election also caused a lot of classical liberals to leave the Dems, and the Walkaway campaign has only been growing, while at the same time the GOP is registering more new voters than the Dems. And his base has only grown since 2016, not shrunk, despite the efforts of the Dems and Never-Trumpers.
The only way he loses is via massive voter fraud, which Biden has already admitted to having an organization for, and which Project Veritas has caught Never-Trumpers on tape participating in, as well as media/tech/blue governor electoral interference.
I grew up in a Hard-D family and live in a pretty blue areas, I know what the Dems are like and how they spread their bullshit. Everything I've seen for years/months tells me that he should win, and that the Dems are cheating like never before because they know many people are going to jail if he is reelected and can clean house without fear.

I think Trump winning the popular vote would mentally break the left beyond repair.
This is what I mean when I say the Dems are trying/planning to cheat as much as possible. Biden already said he has a voter fraud organization, and Pelosi has basically said no matter what the vote numbers are Biden is going to be sworn in.

Check the NYT article about the Dems wargaming the election. They can't even bring themselves to consider that possibility.
Same article also casually mentions the Dems wargaming telling Governors to send faithless electors to push Trump even if he winds by the way.

I think the Dems have gone beyond mere cheating at this point; this is insurrection, a coup d'état in the making.
Yeah, and this is why I said that our Republic is dead if Biden is allowed to steal the election with the help of Dem governors/media/big tech.
Trump should not concede under any circumstances, as Hillary has already told Biden to do the same and it looks like the Dems are very much prepping to help him cheat in every way possible.
Have...you not been seeing they have literally done MASSOVE amounts of increasing thier military....
And China definitely gearing up for something.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Taiwan?
Who else would they invade

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
They can also claim Chinese territory and hold their ground on artificial islands?

In any halfway objective world, this would be the most embarrassing election in American history, not because of Trump, but because of his opponent, Heck this might have been the first election where trump would have been the unopposed victor, but that will not be the case as there are many who would vote against Trump simply to spite him. Then again, in a sane world Biden would have been dropped long before now.
