The 2016 election lives loudly in everybody right now.
On the Trumpian right, “the polls were wrong before” isn’t merely an observation, it’s a catechism.
And on the anti-Trumpian left, it’s a constant source of anxiety bordering on panic. It’s making a lot of folks a little crazy.
My friend John Podhoretz, conservative editor of Commentary Magazine, pointed this out to me a few months ago. He lives in New York City, surrounded by Upper West Side liberals prone to flights of jangly rage if you suggest that Joe Biden has the race in the bag.
“Don’t jinx it! That’s what people said in 2016!” they shout.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse. The fear that the country could reelect President Trump after so much muchness these last four years is almost an existential dread, manifesting as quick-tempered outrage at anyone or anything that might upset Biden’s trajectory.
BJ - and Jonah is a full blown Anti-Trumper
Speaking only for me, a liberal Democrat on most issues, it's possible that trump can be reelected if and only if he collects 270 or more EC Votes. In that case he will lose the popular vote by by more millions than he did in the 2016 election. Most normal people - and trump is not normal - would be humbled by such a loss.
Looking at the long lines to vote, and already millions of votes have already been cast, it does not require a math genius to see at least 60% of these votes went to Biden.
