#1 I thought that lip thing was recent?

#2 OK, so for some knuckle dragger opinion. As I watch the republican show up to the polls and the numbers are out stretching the dems there is a lot of joy on the right. But the republicans, or the dems for that matter, are not going to decide the vote. The number of independent voters in all states is staggering. I have never seen it like this before, or maybe I never noticed. In my state of AZ and the majority of states I have looked at, if the independents vote, in most states, at 60% or greater to one candidate, that side will win.

#3 In every recent election it’s been up to the Independents to tip the vote, 49 Pan. Beyond the margin of cheating in key districts, anyway.

But also quite a few people claim to be independent or undecided if they don’t want to tell the pollster how they plan to vote — mostly Trump voters who feel unsafe coming out of the closet.

#5 Apropos of nothing - just a morning laugh amidst these tense days - this will make you laugh. In the Hall of the Mountain King done by three guys with far too much time in a bar and great imaginations!

#8 I can’t claim the credit for that thought, dear 49 Pan. I’ve read something like that on a variety of sites over the years.

#10 I wonder what would happen if a prospective voter showed up at a polling place dressed in a stylish large black trash bag.
