You’re aware several things have happened since 2016 and the Access Hollywood revelation yeah?
2016 Trump was an unknown quantity.
2016 Trump had plenty of Indy’s thinking “Well let’s give him a shot and see. What’s the worst that can happen?”
2016 Trump doesn’t exist anymore. Every voter that has the remotest of open mind knows what Trump was like in Office. They know he colluded with Russia. They know he’s twice Impeached. They know he sexually assaulted E Jean Carrol to a standard that would be considered rape. They know he’s a fraud. They know he’s been ordered to pay nearly half a billion in fines. They know he wants to leave NATO. They know he’s in Putin’s pocket.
Trump lost the last election in 2020. As the fucking incumbent. That’s something that rarely happens in the US. He then went on to ferment an insurrection, a stupid person coup. He was impeached a second time after losing the election. A good proportion of his voting base from 2016 and 2020 has died since that time.
As I say, my money, both literally and metaphorically, is on a Trump loss, and likely by more than in 2020. I don’t believe there’s a single thing that gives him more of a chance than he had when he last lost the election.
But by all means, worry as much as you want and worry on my behalf if you must. A wise man once said to me that “worrying about something you have no means of affecting is very similar to riding a rocking horse. It gives you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere.”
We’ll both find out the results at the same time but I’d rather be sanguine between now and November.
