A little bit of hope:
Rosenberg says this about the swing states which are still showing Trump ahead:
Here’s what I am seeing in the battlegrounds – MI, PA, WI are our best states right now, and in the 538 averages they are close and competitive. There are polls in each of these three states showing us ahead in recent weeks. Winning these three gets us to 269 Electoral College votes. As I wrote on Tuesday I am very optimistic that the extremism of the GOP in AZ and NC is giving us real opportunities in both states to win and make serious down-ballot gains. Nevada is always close, and we have work to do in Georgia. The campaign continues to monitor what’s happening in Florida, as Rs there will soon have to defend a newly implemented 6 week abortion ban, something that is currently polling in the lows 20s – a level of unpopularity on something that matters that is not often seen in politics.
I have no idea if he’s right but I do agree about those three midwest swing states and I think Arizona looks better every day because of that draconian abortion position of the GOP and their choice of that nutball Kari Lake for the Senate. And I’m hopeful about Nevada. But who knows? I still can’t believe it’s close anywhere and it’s profoundly depressing that it is. Apparently a booming economy and tons of policy to benefit people are over the country, from caps on prescription drugs for old people to student loan debt relief, is totally meaningless to tens of millions of Americans because they are so indoctrinated by Trump and right wing media that they think that hate and resentment toward their fellow Americans are the only things that matter.
I pump hopium into my veins for momentary relief but like any drug, it always wears off…
