    If Biden comes within 5 points of Trump in Arkansas, we really will have a popular and electoral landslide. I'm not convinced.
    Also not sure why they're asking anybody about Cotton, whose only challengers are a Libertarian and an independent. The only Democrat to put his hat in the ring pulled it out last November.

    In short order, that person will be removed from that position. Not sure whether the execution will be figurative or literal, but it'll happen.

    They will get fooled again.

    We all know how much Trump likes to lie about how many people are waiting outside his rallies to get in. Imagine the riots if all 800K showed up demanding to get in?

    Trump won Arkansas by 27% in 2016. If you give Trump a 22% haircut across the board in 2020, he would carry Alabama (9 EVs), Arkansas (6), Idaho (4), Kentucky (8), North Dakota (3), Oklahoma (7), South Dakota (3), Tennessee (11), West Virginia (5) and Wyoming (3). That’s it. 479-59.

    That means Alaska, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas and Utah all flipped.

    This poll is almost surely out of line with reality by a significant number. But even if it's 10 points off, which is a very high number for any poll, that still speaks to a 400 EV total for Biden.

    Why is Trump doing this in Tulsa. Why not in an outdoor stadium like the Oklahoma football stadium?

    An outdoor stadium might not get filled. Important to remember that Trump's indoor rallies are like what Dead concerts used to be like. There's a core of fans who travel from show to show to revel in being there.
