Trump unexpectedly closed a gap in the polls to a photo-finish in 2020. History has taught us it is far too soon to celebrate

    The press really wants this to be close to increase the drama/sales.

      The majority of the population does not access an independent press. Sinclair Communications, Fox etc. don’t want a horse race, they have their whole hands on the scale pushing for a Trump victory.

      I’m happy for the press to keep everyone on edge about how close it will be. I want people panicking about making their vote count. I don’t care if we win in a landslide, this election is too important to take anything for granted. Plus, it will come with the added benefit to downticket races and local representation.

      I’m not sure if you’re just hopped up on hopium but this is very very far from a secured victory. It’s anything but.
