There's a lot to say about this election, but the fact that Trump expanded his base in both numbers and diversity is really something to grapple with. Check out this Andrew Yang quote about how Democrats aren't speaking to the concerns of everyday people.

"In their minds the Democratic party unfortunately has taken on this role of the coastal urban elites who are more concerned about policing various cultural issues than improving their way of life."

Michael, any profound comments on the Times exit poll piece/info? I found it a fascinating and shocking picture of American mindsets. Also, seems like we need some new history books for our formative education years.

Ah, I thought you were referring to an article about the exit poll info. Yes, these are the numbers I'll be digging into, but I refer to some of this in the post above. I hope to write about these numbers a bit more next week.

Technically, an "official" winner isn't announced until the electors vote. If one or two states make up the electoral vote difference, there might be speculation for a bit, but if GA, NV, AZ, PA all fall in Biden's column, I think people will take any of Trump's bluster as seriously as it is worth.
