    My anxiety is high enough. Please don’t tie Biden’s chances to Mike Leach’s results right now.

    Please.

    The blank page is a symbol of the Trump Administration. Whether it is the one from Walter Reed, ACB's notepad or this stack of Red Lobster menus:

    Oh my God, that made me realize Donald Trump is just an animated pile of Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

    Trump may be one of the worst persons ever to run for president - there were a few of those - but he's far from the worst candidate. The worst candidate of all time doesn't lose the presidential election. It's closer to someone like George McGovern. (Again, I'm separating candidate from person.)

    Prediction: By Election Day, Silver and Cohn will say Trump has a 33 percent chance of winning n
    McGovern ran against the Vietnam War. Six days before the election, "peace was at hand." There went that candidacy.

    Ummmm ... his VP pick having a history of alcoholism and depression, necessitating electro-shock therapy ... might have had just a tad to do with it.

    I think the race was decided a lil before six days before.

    But, if not him, then Mondale.

    Claiming Trump is the worst candidate ever is fantastical nonsense, if you separate candidate from person. I think Sarah Palin would have been a terrible VP. As a VP candidate, she gave McCain a brief, stunning boost.

    It's amazing to see how few polls in the 538 ratings check in at ≥ B-. A lot of C+ designations.
    Here's what I want to know: Why does The Trafalgar Group, which by some accounts was the most accurate pollster of 2016 and the only one to predict Trump would win Wisconsin, rate only a C+ grade? No, it's not libruhl media bias. Sites like 538 need the appearance of a tightening race. They crave that narrative. I have looked at the site and can't find a decent explanation.

    Oh, things went wrong from the start. But the rationale for your campaign evaporating is the killer.
    Trafalgar was about the wrongest pollster in 2018. Thus the rating.

    Why should we leave character out of this equation? It has a lot to do with being POTUS and leading a country.
