        To be fair, that was there the first time around too. People are just done pretending otherwise now, even the “we have to pretend it’s close because that’s what’s best for engagement and thus our profits” MSM and social media.

        Even Hillary Clinton, the worst Dem nominee in my lifetime (I was born on the penultimate day of 82*) would have beaten him in a landslide if not for the media wagging the dog in his favor.

        Granted, that they did so was partly BECAUSE of her deliberate Pied Piper strategy to make sure he was the GOP nominee, which is a stellar example of the “it’ll always be 1992” Dem leadership mentality that made her such an awful candidate.

        *my exact date of birth is irrelevant, I know, but I wanted to use one of my favorite words, penultimate 😁
