Everyone keeps saying that Biden has it in the bag, but that’s what they said last time for Hillary. I have this weird feeling he’ll somehow worm his way to victory.

    100% agree with you. I can't stand the "big tent" talk. Liberals want Republicans, they don't want the left. They make that loud and clear with how much animosity they shove towards us, but will go out their way to try and make Republicans comfortable. After Biden wins, the first thing the Democratic party are going to do is try to oust the progressive SocDems that they despise so much. They've been trying to gerrymander AOC's district in NYC for a few years now. They won't have a problem with Republicans helping them go after the progressives either and all this is going to set up an ugly midterms for 2022.

    Everything you said is precisely how I see it happening. Out here in the south, a Democrat governor actually won Louisiana in 2016 using this same strategy that you explain about Kentucky. They only won cause the people in Louisiana hated the previous Republican governor, yet down ballot voting got the GOP to win everything else. This included the senate runoff race where Trump came down to the state and did rallies for the Republican candidate, meanwhile the DNC didn't spend a dime helping the Democrat candidate nor did any of the big names of their party endorse him (the Republican candidate ended up winning comfortably after this). That was 4 years ago and guess who leads the polls right now in Louisiana? You guessed it, Republicans are in a prime position to retake the state entirely.

    I 100% agree about 2022 too. It's going to be a bloodbath. If Dems do take back the senate and keep the house next month, it will be by a slim margin. Republicans already have an advantage cause they've had years of the psychopaths in that annoying Lincoln Project group whom liberals love and have been throwing money at. That money will immediately go to building up Republican campaigns for 2022 after Trump is gone. Liberals are so fucking arrogant about this election, they don't even realize that by Biden basically being George W Bush 2.0, it don't help them and instead is going to help Republicans big time. The GOP will just point out how he hates poor people and is doing nothing about the economy during a recession.
