This is weird.
I get the impression that That One’s campaign is a lot like the swimmer who lost to Michael Phelps by .01 seconds at they Olympics. They have urger all supporters to vote early— and many, many are. But they know enough to know that they are running out of voters/momentum, much like smack talker who lost to Phelps when tried to glide into the wall when Phelps was going full throttle.
