Here's my question:
If Trump is THAT BAD (and, indeed, there seems to be a steady drumbeat from all sorts of media that he is), then why isn't he about to lose in a McGovern-esque landslide.
Right now, we're talking about Trump GAINING states over Mondale. GAINING Iowa. GAINING Ohio. Even in Florida for all practical purposes. Closing the gap in Pennsylvania. Why isn't he leading only in an handful of Deep Southern states and a couple of the Mountain West states? Hasn't Trump given everybody enough ammo for that to happen? Trump's behind, but he's NOT on life support at this writing. Why is that?
Nobody knows exactly how bad he will lose until after election day. With that said, polarization makes a 50 state landslide impossible nowadays. Nonetheless, he's pretty much done and has been for months regardless of some people say.
