For John, BLUF:  The next five months are going to be interesting.  Not too interesting, I hope.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

‘Are You Ready For A Trump Victory?’: Michael Moore Sounds The Alarm After Trump Closes Gap In Michigan Poll

From The Daily Caller, by Reporter Katie Jerkivich! 28 August 2020.

Here is the lede plus one:

Michael Moore asked people if they “are ready for a Trump victory” after the president closed the gap against Joe Biden in a new Michigan poll.

“Sorry to have to provide the reality check again, but when CNN polled registered voters in August in just the swing states, Biden and Trump were in a virtual tie,” the 66-year-old filmmaker captioned his Friday post on Instagram, along with a screenshot of the results of a poll showing Biden with 49% and Trump with 48%.

Mr Moore is a pretty bright observer of the scene, so his observation should be a wakeup call for Democrats.

But, for the long range thinkers, what is it going to be like post-20 January.  Yes, there is a small chance the Speaker of the House will slide in, but the odds are it will be either Mr Trump or Mr Biden.  I think the question is what will they do in victory or defeat?  we have former SecState Hillary Clinton saying:

Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually, I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is.

Will either side concede?  More important, after Congress counts the Electoral College vote, will the loser move on?  Or, will it be like the last three and a half years, or worse?  Will the losing side take to the streets to disrupt governmet, or worse?  Will the losing side go for turning out the winning side?  Or will some states secede?  That last has been suggested by Mr John Pedesto if Mr Trump wins.

Hat tip to my Wife.
