There’s an apocryphal story from WW2 about the last months of the war in Japan/Germany. The way people knew the war wasn’t going like the propagandists were saying was that all the glorious heroic battles were taking place closer and closer to Berlin/Tokyo. Look at where the campaign is taking place. Look at the unemployment rate and all the econometric models for the election. Landslide, maybe not but understand where this is going.

Excellent points! I remember reading an article written by a former KGB officer. He said something very similar, only he called it reading between the lines. The truth is the truth and it is easy to be consistent while telling it. A lie however builds upon itself and twists and turns as the truth seeps out.
