So usually you'd have this down as a cert Trump win. 64% in - 13 point lead.

However...

"Biden's winning absentee ballots 78-21"

So if Pennsylvania's vote count absentee ballots later like others have, and they're 78% Biden...

I sid earlier I thought if he was 72% he was good. 78% should edge it for Biden. He has about half of Philidelphia to come in as well. I haven't done anything forensicm but it looks promising
 
The coronavirus pandemic has potentially won this for Joe Biden. Trump would have walked this election otherwise.

Damp squib of a campaign for the Democrats.

They needed a strong, young leader. Not a bumbling old man who is 12 years past the retirement age in America.
You’d have to hope he’s just a foot in the door at this point.

Slim chance he goes for a second term if he wins (he’d be mid 80’s by the end of it if he did!)

Hopefully gives them time to find someone half decent to vote for next election.

I quite like that Ocasio-Cortez myself, been really impressed when I’ve heard her speak.

But it’s just a case of whether the US is ready to vote for a Latin American woman into the White House... which is a horrendous thing to even have to say in the 21st century :(
 
Incidentally, all would make better politicians than Trump.
Credit where it’s due, Trump is a remarkable campaigner.
For him to essentially get half of the American votes takes some doing, especially when a few weeks ago the public couldn’t decide if he was being serious when he said to inject bleach to prevent coronavirus.

She'd be too young to President(or Vice President) by next election as well. Need to be 35, she's about 30 I believe.
 
This really is the worst case scenario for a Biden win. He/they needed to have an absolute repudiation of Trump and the Republican BSery and doesn't look likely at all.
I feared for this scenario to happen too. I hope the peaceful marches that have been planned for today, because of Trump's actions trying to deligitimize the election results by declaring himself a winner, don't turn deadly.
