Kamala to campaign in TX this week.

Not a good sign for the GOP if the Dems feel it’s prudent to send resources to TEXAS in the last week of an election... (while still unable to explain why Pence needed to campaign in Indiana).

Over 60 million Americans (potentially much more if you factor in ballots that are in the mail or waiting to be dropped) have already voted.

There are about 320 million Americans, of which there are about 200 million people eligible to vote (age and criminal history), of which only slightly over half (lets say 100 million to make it easy) usually vote (last election was around 130 million).

Over half of Americans who can and do vote already have. So 60 million early votes (I predict it will be even more by the end of this week) is an amazing feat. 60% of people who can be expected to vote have already done so.

It is quite feasible that by election day, more Americans will have early voted, than voted altogether in the last Presidential election. I just want to point out how unprecedented this is (even if the levels locked out today it would still be crazy high). We can easily hit 100+ million early votes before we reach election day at these rates.

I think I read somewhere today that Texas’s early vote is already at 80% of their total 2016 vote.

Watch how old and feeble Biden looks
as walks to a group yesterday. He
looks like he might fall down. Of
course he's back in the basement
today 9 days from the election
while Trump is doing rallies non
stop.

I asked the township clerk about volunteering to help tabulate ballots, but they said they had enough people.

FiveThirtyEight gives Biden a 38% chance of winning TX.

Which seems right! Donny is obviously the favorite, but it’s closer than it has been in decades.

Trump has this big screen device
he takes to every rally and plays
Biden gaffs and lies on it. The
crowds love it, they go nuts.

Biden said today the laptop
story is a total lie dreamed
up by Trump and all the
major media have verified
it's a lie. They have? Not a
single one has said anything
about it being untrue.

This is obviously false.

Off the top of my head I know WSJ and NYT have thoroughly debunked it.

No kidding
Trump campaign picked the Wall Street journal to break the story. They presented their story to the journal knowing that their reporting had respect.
WSJ has credibility and WH and Trump were banking on that.
WSJ looked at what they were presented, researched and saw no evidence of corruption regarding Joe Biden

Trump is running this ad nationwide
thru till the election. Doesn't have
a bad word about Biden in it.
Biden does all the talking.
