“Already lost” is a dangerous assumption by us, a lot can change. Our favorite LA Times poll has the race tightening to a 4-point Trump lead and his support down to 6% with blacks. Since it’s a rolling poll, I’d expect it to tighten further over the next couple of days.
You are right. NEVER forget that the Democrats have 47% of the vote in the bag based on freebies alone. No matter WHO they run as a candidate.
