Trump Still Following Hillary’s Advice
Donald Trump is still following Hillary’s advice by refusing to concede the election. His attorney general says he’s seen no widespread evidence of fraud but Trump still says the election was rigged. Especially in Georgia.
Yet he’s holding a get out the vote rally on Saturday in Georgia for a Jan. 5 Senate runoff election. It’s important because if Republicans don’t win one of the two races that day they lose control of the Senate.
Meanwhile, fraud investigators Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, and are urging voters to boycott the election.

The String is Running Out for President Trump
Like Rudy’s dripping hair dye at his press conference last week, it looks like the string is running out for President Trump. He’s allowing the transfer of power to begin.
Virus Pandemic in Team Biden’s Court
The virus pandemic is in Team Biden’s court now. And, as luck would have it, they got an assist from Pfizer’s announcement that a 90% effective vaccine is on the way.

Why have pollsters blown two presidential elections in a row?The problem seems to be pollsters can’t get a straight answer from some Trump voters. And for good reason:
If all you hear day in and day out that Trump is an evil, racist monster, then it’s going to make it less likely you admit to supporting him, including to pollsters.
The effect of ‘shy’ voters is known among pollsters as ‘social desirability bias’, as Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight explained in an article ahead of the election explaining why Trump could still win.

The Lid Closes on the Trump Campaign
Throughout September I kept reading that Joe Biden had called a “lid” on his campaign. The lid often closed by 9 a.m. and that meant no campaign activities or media availability the rest of the day.
Meanwhile President Trump put in full days, followed by Air Force One rides to campaign rallies and then back to the White House after midnight. Get up in four hours and repeat.
