“Of course, no one can predict the future and no one has a time machine, but even you wouldn’t be on this thread commenting if you weren’t interested in other people’s opinions on the election outcome. “
au contraire
If anyone’s opinion at this point in time had any basis, any cause in anything known today, that will not easily change in the next twelve months, I wouldn’t have commented. But there is no serious basis at this point in time. Too much can too easily change.
Well, that's a given and is always the case.
But that doesn't stop people from sizing up the political landscape and the election campaigns and coming up with valid opinions.
Even my opinion, that Trump will win reelection going away, is just that. My opinion. But given what I know now, I will stick with that opinion.
Lots can happen between now and November 2020 to alter the outcome but your dour assessment of the process because it takes place in the future won't stop people from prognosticating and proffering their opinions.
