I am leaving in about a half hour to cast my vote. I am not making any predictions but, in my bones, I feel this is going to be a good day.
The Harris campaign was beautifully done, with the timing of events and moments they created being pretty close to perfect. The message she delivered was one this country needed. I think this country was hungry for the things she had to say and that hunger will result in votes. Votes from across the spectrum, left, right, and center because she reached out to all and this is demonstrably what wins elections. She created a coalition of voters that recognize this is what a president should look and sound like. One for the entire nation.
The opposing candidate made a pathetic limp to the finish line. His closing messages to our nation were that the United States is a garbage can, that his fellow Americans are the enemy, that he needs to use the US military against his fellow Americans, that a "love fest" includes saying that a US territory is a "floating pile of garbage", that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" (credit to Adolf for that line), that he'd like to see a bunch of guns pointed at Liz Cheney's face, expressed his love for Arnold Palmer's penis, mimed a hand job and blowjob (on two occasions!) in front of his audience which was broadcast on TV, spoke openly about how he would not mind if someone shot members of the media, and babbled total nonsense and his usual pack of lies. And that is just some of how he spent his final month of campaigning. All while the Republicans closed offices around the country, and Lara Trump bragged that their strategy was not to do things like voter outreach but instead would be to file dozens of lawsuits...this is where they wanted to allocate campaign funds. Not toward an effort to win votes, toward filing frivolous lawsuits they decided on before they have even seen the election results.
That to me sounds like the strategy of people that know they are going to lose. The final day of the Trump campaign was an abomination of infighting, rambling nonsense, half empty venues, threats, panic, anger, and embarrassing gaffes. Essentially just one more example of why the American people should want to be rid of this guy.
