Ya, while I was being flippant about it, I do agree that Trump has a very real chance of winning the General Election. I well remember the noise over polling in 2016 and Nate Silver’s epic rant (he was right) about how the data should be looked at.
I’m curious to see how things shake out in the General Election this time around. And I wonder if Biden’s Campaign will lean into Trump’s criminal actions. In 2016, Trump’s campaign pushed the “lock her up!” narrative over Clinton’s email server. Now that we have clear evidence of Trump mishandling, hiding and attempting to hang onto clearly marked classified information (some of which is clearly SCI or NNPI), will we get choruses of “lock him up!”? At the same time, Trumpets seem to revel in Trump’s crimes and prosecution as almost a badge of honor and/or an underdog fighting “the man”. The irony of Trump pretty much being the definition of “the man” seems lost on his supporters. But hey, no one ever said politics has to make sense.
