Maybe they did it thinking he would die off soon and then put Harris in office.

Meh, it's not the end of the world. Looks like the Senate is staying at least 52 R's, if not 53.
Biden will be a toothless old fool who will probably mess things up or be incompetent enough due to his advanced age, and with the Senate out of his control he cannot push through federal judges or Supreme Court nominees en masse or pass any radical legislation like court packing or state expansion for at least 2 years (and by that time, some of the "we have to radically change things," fervor will have died down because people have short memories and will no longer be fuming at the Trump administration).
Additionally, I can't recall a more vulnerable incumbent on Day 1 of a presidency in my lifetime; he will face a very strong challenge in '24. The Republican roster looks like it can destroy him in four years - Crenshaw, Haley, Rubio, etc. Even if he straight up passes away in office (not that I'm hoping for that) or is otherwise removed or resigns, Harris is not a strong candidate at all other than her skin color and gender. She was like the first person out in the primaries because she was so terrible.
It's also reason to be somewhat optimistic about the long term prognosis for Republicans. Trump had a unique brand that maybe attracted some minorities and other blue collar types, but it's a signal that those types are there to be won by the Republicans. On the other hand, it's pretty obvious that Trump has lost this election due to his odious personality and inability (rigged against him though it was) to put to bed the scandals of his first term. Without those, he's cruising to another 300 point EC win.

His nomination was possibly a requirement to win PA, Michigan and Wisconsin, where his potential presidency would bring echoes of the Obama administration. Some crazy leftist would have won bigger in California but maybe not done as well in the rust belt, and that would have been game over for beating Trump, as we are seeing this AM. Give Trump Wisconsin and Michigan and he's won. Take them away and he's lost.

He has to be the worst candidate of my lifetime. Even the left have to admit he's their worst, don't they?
How are the msm going to hide his repeated TIA episodes and fits of anger when they start happening on live tv?

All the remaining outstanding votes are Wayne County, though, a Democratic stronghold. It's merely gonna get worse, not better.

I don't see how Trump has a chance at this point in Michigan or Wisconsin, and in that case, it's over. Even PA doesn't matter, it's not enough.
He needs Pennsylvania AND Michigan or Wisconsin, and he's gonna get neither.
He still may not even get PA, even though that looks a bit better right now.
