Can't rule him out yet!! Last nights debate saw him peddle the usual lies and exaggerations but he did much better than the previous one. Biden was solid but for me made two potentially key mistakes. First, he upset the left with his healthcare lines, he needs the progressive left voters to vote for him and while they are not going to vote for Trump he needs to make sure they do get out and vote. Secondly, he stated at the end that he would essentially kill the oil industry. Now while this goes without saying if we are to reverse climate change, it should not ever be said that the oil industry is to be killed. That line alone removes any slim chance he had of taking Texas but more importantly will hurt him in PA, a crucial state for him.
As we stand the popular vote will go Biden's way but with the electoral college as it is, lets hope those votes are in the right places. If Biden takes FL, and he is up a couple of points there, then Trump cannot win, but if Trump takes FL then it will come down to Michigan, Wisconsin and PA. It still could get closer!!
