So happy to see coverage of this on TPM. Obama is hot on the trail.

I hope he is booked at all of the swing states between now and Tuesday.

We need him.

His smile makes me happy!

45’s super spreader rallies continue to roll on. I am beyond horrified he was in our state, and our case count is rising.

He’s a leader. He’s still the “yes we can” guy.

Not sure I understand the fake speech part, Obama was talking, it was a speech, but Trumps obsession with crowds as a gauge of support right now is fucking nuts. A tree really can’t fall in the woods if he doesn’t see it fall.

Obama humiliating Trump hasn’t always worked out well.

Damn right, he’s on fire.

And he’ll be out there every day and night through next Tuesday.

We all need to work just as hard, in our own ways, doing whatever we can do to help.

His vocabulary has been shrinking for a while now. “Fake” is one of his favorite words, applied to anything the Dems or media do, and anything else he doesn’t like. When he loses, he’ll call it a Fake election.

The popular vote will be Biden by a long shot, but the problem is that the GOP will litigate in the states where there is a smaller margin and where their electoral votes will add up to a victory, giving them something like the “benefit of hindsight.”

Meanwhile, COVID will go through the roof with the GOP actively encouraging it. Chaos is Trump’s strategy to disrupt democratic processes, and if he ends up losing it will be the Democrats’ problem.

The next two months are going to be a real test – we’ll look back on this week before election day as a simpler, less anxious time.

Not really. If Hillary had won we might be going into 2021 looking at a Republican trifecta instead of a Democratic one.
