The analogy would be slightly stronger if you made Tampa (the home team) the ones doing the cheating. After all, the steal was only possible through compromised state governments. Don’t forget they tried to steal Texas and Florida too!

It’s a way of using their own rhetoric against them. “He just fired randomly into the crowd? What a coincidence that he hit three terrible people!” In reality, I’m sure there were plenty of “very fine people” there, but they wouldn’t be the type to try to murder a 17-year-old for putting out fires.

In short, either Kyle did nothing wrong, or a random sampling of the rioters reveals them to be scum. (It’s both.)

It won’t be CA, but I think there’s about a 10% chance Washington flips. Signs for the Republican governor candidate outnumber those for the Dem incumbent Inslee at least 2 to 1, even in the Seattle area. That doesn’t necessarily translate to presidential votes, but there’s at least a correlation.

Even if you’re in the most solidly blue or red state there is, imagine if the meltdown if Trump wins the popular vote! Do it for the symbolism if nothing else!

I recently had one of them call me. It went like this:

Pollster: I’m with [polling agency whose name I forget]. Who are you voting for for president.

Me: Trump

Pollster: Do you approve of the job he’s doing as president?

Me: Sure

Pollster: And do you approve of the job Brian Fitzpatrick is doing?

Me: Who’s that?

Pollster: He’s the US representative for your district in Pennsylvania.

Me: I don’t live in Pennsylvania, nor am I registered to vote there.

Pollster: hangs up

Now I didn’t have to say that I don’t live in PA, but I wanted to be honest. I highly doubt that I’m the only blue-state resident who got a call from a swing-state pollster
