According to me? According to anybody who's not blinded by partisanship. The objective reality is that there is no path to a Trump victory. That ship sailed weeks ago. All that's left is Trump desperately trying to somehow prevent the inevitable, and looking hopeless, desperate, and delusional in the process. That's the reality. And Biden isn't "my" guy. I don't particularly want him. (Didn't want Trump, either, and I got them both, one after the other.) And: "win"? Biden won. No "quotes" about it.

  > According to me? According to anybody who's not blinded by partisanship. Thats your perspective. The law says differently. > The objective reality is that there is no path to a Trump victory. In fact that's not the case, although I can understand how you would feel that way, since the media has been negligent in informing the public about the facts. > All that's left is Trump desperately trying to somehow prevent the inevitable, and looking hopeless, desperate, and delusional in the process. That's the reality. No, that's a picture painted by partisans who are hoping to bully people into accepting their preferred outcome prematurely. > And: "win"? Biden won. No "quotes" about it. The winner won't be official until electors are chosen. Thats how the system works. Although I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you would have called Al Gore delusional at this stage of the process in 2000 as well. Thanks for the reply.

    The electors don't show up by magic. They come from states, based on the votes in those states. The electors haven't voted, but they will, and we know what they will vote. But I'm pretty sure you knew that. You're clinging to the hope that things will change. Trump has legal remedies, and he's filed suits. But those suits don't add up to enough votes in enough states to change the result.

I'm actually just explaining the legal process here since so many people seem to think the president is elected by the media. > Trump has legal remedies, and he's filed suits. But those suits don't add up to enough votes in enough states to change the result. Perhaps so. We'll see, just like in 2000.
