    One of my former wives told me to just at least look for a little optimism, so here goes…

    I think you could make an argument this might be “rock bottom” for a Democratic campaign given the media narrative over the past week.

    But Trump still can’t hit 50% or get over the hump to a majority. So the one possible good takeaway is that this would indicate that if we could get our shit together, there’s hope.

      Trump doesn’t need 50% of the country though, he just needs to tighten his lead in the key battleground states he was already beating Biden in.

      I appreciate the positive viewpoint, but we also need to remember that the popular vote doesn’t decide the election. Trump won in 2016 with 46%.
