"Biden was only ahead by about what Trump won"

Trump's 80,000 is only 40% of Biden's 200,000.
Message 33445436

Trump will be president thanks to 80000 people in three states.

Dec 1, 2016 — Trump won 18 states by fewer than 250,000 votes; Clinton, 13. The most important states, though, were Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Yeah, good idea. Dismiss the largest Democratic state but count the largest Republican state.

Meanwhile, Abbott has COVID. Not a big deal. He can just take HCQ and get well soon. Or Ivt.

Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas tested positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday, though he has no symptoms, the governor’s office announced.

An ardent opponent of mask and vaccine mandates, Mr. Abbott has taken his opposition to such requirements all the way to the state Supreme Court. Mr. Abbott, who is fully vaccinated, will now be isolated in the Governor’s Mansion while receiving monoclonal antibody treatment, which can help Covid-19 patients who are at risk of getting very sick.

“The governor has been testing daily, and today was the first positive test result,” the statement said. “Governor Abbott is in constant communication with his staff, agency heads, and government.”

Oh, wait, he isn't getting either one. Geez, I don't understand why he isn't taking the best therapeutics out there!
