...the winds he is sailing into.

And has for 5 years.

Here’s a man whom the Ds once loved. He’s not really a party person, having registered with both majors and one minor (IIRC) over the years. But, he’s an American and he wears his heart on his sleeve.

He spent a lifetime in a rough business full of rough characters. He’s been up and down and held his own and has come back over and over from seeming defeat.

Opinions seem all over the map. ‘The campaign is a failure’. ‘The campaign is excellent.” ‘Biden is going to win because the propaganda is so strong.’

I have asked the pearl-clutchers on various threads: “What is your fall back plan if Biden wins?” since so many seem so discouraged while seeming to understand the alternative. No responses. Either they have no plan or they are posturing for effect. Many are reliably conservative posters here from the start. So, I am discounting a trolling effort. For the moment.

Some people enjoy being agitated and anxious? IDK. I do know that people with no access to internal polling quote a megilla of reasons for being discouraged and pessimistic, but when asked politely to explain their assertions, respond with some version of “I don’t owe you any explanation or justification and, BTW, you’re a fool.” (paraphrased)

So, I may just relegate them to my personal blocked folder & not bother with their posts until and unless I see or hear some actual evidence that an excellent campaign and an obviously beloved candidate is losing.

I’m not going to detail what it would take to convince me the election is lost to events because that would just solidify ideas I am sure have occurred to the opposition. For anti-Trump lurkers, anything they pull this close to November 3 will be too late to obviate all the already cast votes. I know they will do their worst, but I think they will fail, bigly.

Sure, excellent campaigns can fail. But, as I try to come up with an example of that, I can’t. Can you?
