    1. I hope they don't forget the orange jumpsuit.

    2. IMO it is more likely members of the military, possibly though not necessarily against orders, would protect Trump. Bottom line, Biden's a cockeyed optimist, to put it kindly.

    3. I think that if the Commandant of the Marine Corps, or whoever commands the White House Guard, issues orders to the guard, they will obey.

    1. But the article doesn't tell us anything about what sort of Republicans either the defeated incumbents or their victorious primary opponents were.

  9. Speaking of patterns:

    “If this election were held today, it would be Biden by double digits, easy. Things could change, but they generally don’t.”
    — Democratic strategist James Carville, quoted by McClatchy.

    A new Cygnal poll in Florida shows Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in the presidential race, 47% to 44%.

    Two sources told Vanity Fair that Rupert Murdoch has recently told people that he believes Donald Trump is going to lose the election in November. Said one source: “Rupert thinks Trump is going to crash and burn. It’s a clear-eyed assessment, just based on looking at the news.”

    1. 4.954%

      Vermont's lower death % rate is "thanks" to more cases being identified.
      This is largely due to additional testing. 80% of positive tests included NO symptoms.
