Nah. Putin knows that he's a heel as far as American voters are concerned. So by seeming to defend Biden, Putin creates the false impression that he and Trump are adversaries, which helps Trump. Check out this interview with Putin from a couple weeks ago where he talks about how it might be good for Russia if Democrats win because Democrats and Communists have "common values." He's actively campaigning for Trump with these type of comments.

My worry is this.
Both candidates show signs of dementia. I’ve long said Trump does,
but Biden does often seem to lose track or bring the past to the
present.
His Bush mistake being the most obvious.
This is classic based on my experience with my mother in law.
Everyone kept saying she was ok but there is a difference between
saying something wrong & getting that rabbit in headlight look as you
keep repeating the wrong word, hoping to remember the correct word.
Biden def seems to do that a few times.
Trump just can’t string a coherent thought together & still thinks he’s
fighting Obama & Clinton. He can’t move on to new information &
situations. Again, classic symptoms.

I thought Biden was referring to the host so he was simply stumbling over his words not suffering from dementia.

Biden stutters. It's something he's had to deal with his entire life. So occasionally he'll stumble over a word or two. His way of battling it is to pause for a second and collect his thoughts. It's not dementia. My mother and mother-in-law both suffered from it. Biden does NOT exhibit the signs, while the orange one does.
Also, Texas has had more votes cast so far than what was cast in 2016. That was just reported.

The GOP has fallen so very far.

Do you believe in irony?
In four days will be the most important election our generation, and possibly ever (although that Lincoln-Davis affair was pretty big too.) It has already set a record in early voting. It will be remembered for decades to come. The United States will be hugely affected by the results of this. Its resolution will matter to everyone, and could literally determine the future of America.
Donald Trump finally got what he wants; it's a big, loud, huge event that will have everyone talking about him. And he's right at the center of it.

| Does anyone on the board live in a swing district in a battleground state? At this point, Pennsylvania and North Carolina seem to be the biggest question marks - what's the energy like on the ground, there? | |
------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Down here in urban North Carolina, the support seems to be overwhelmingly behind VP Biden and the slate of Democratic candidates. In a roughly hour wide circle around the metro area, there is a whole lot of Trump support, but a surprising amount of atypical support for Biden.
Senate race-wise, it looks like Cal Cunningham (D), a dull as dishwater candidate who had some sexting trouble is in a tight race with the reviled (R) candidate, Thom Tillis. I think Cunningham may have an edge, but out of a fear of jinxing it, I'll say nothing.
Everyone I know is voting, everyone I know is enthusiastically voting, and the weather is gonna be perfect for last two days of early voting.
I wonder about demonstrations if every vote is not allowed to be counted.

And my wife and I have voted. I can definitely tell you that the town I live in has surpassed its vote total from 2016 well before election day this year by a large margin. There's just under 20,000 people in my town (a suburb of Chicago). It tends to have about 15% of the population vote on average. Yes, it's way too low.
This year, they ran out of 2,000 "I Voted!" stickers a week into early voting, which started on Oct. 19th. They're still waiting for some more.

I talked to the mailman in my office building today (Los Angeles, CA), and he said he was going to end up working all weekend, because carriers have been instructed to check every residential mailbox for outgoing ballots, instead of just the ones with flags raised. The guy is a Japanese immigrant who's leaning towards Trump if he decides to vote at all, so he's obviously insane, but I thought it was worth sharing.
