Kids don't need 37 pencils; they only need 1 or 2. Nor do they need 37 dolls, 2 or 3 will do.

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Still nothings guaranteed, but regardless of the severity of these changes, a change is absolutely here.

Miami for instance had an 88% overperformance by the Dem.

Don't know about Georgia, but in many municipalities and states, if the win is by 1% or less, it triggers an automatic recount.
