Who is among the “many”?And I reply thus - many in this thread are convinced that Trump is almost certainly bound to lose.

It’s plainly not, for the reasons @SWP's back comprehensively set out and more. Referring back to 2016 is not a cogent argument. Can Trump win? Certainly, but to say it’s 50-50 ish is both speculative and nebulous. He’s got a one in three chance at best if we’re going to ascribe numbers to it.And you make my point. It's 50-50-ish either way at this point.
It's not down to what you and I believe and watch in the news.
It's not even down to what the majority of Americans believe.
It's down to a handful of swing states; and voter turnout in those states; and likely to last-minute news just prior to election.
I think the "who" is obvious. That you're asking, seems to be designed to spark controversy. Who do you think in this thread is over-confident that Biden will win? No one?Who is among the “many”?
It's "obvious" -- okay, well, not to me -- so I'll ask again -- who here specifically is in the "Biden-can't-possibly-lose-reality-distortion-bubble"?I think the "who" is obvious. That you're asking, seems to be designed to spark controversy. Who do you think in this thread is over-confident that Biden will win? No one?
1-in-3? Then get in on the betting odds as SWP has done. Moreover, what's your basis for this plucked-out-of-thin-air 1-in-3?It’s plainly not, for the reasons @SWP's back comprehensively set out and more. Referring back to 2016 is not a cogent argument.

Read my post starting with "1-in-3?" if you're honestly confused - which I very much doubt.Many people in the thread are asking because we don’t know who you are talking about.
The only one sparking controversy is you by making a broad statement that you then only support with vague “them” responses.
It’s not plucked out of thin air. As I expressly stated, it’s based on what @SWP's back reasoned in his post. If you have such poor comprehension skills it’s little wonder you struggle to evaluate likely outcomes with any apparent care or skill.1-in-3? Then get in on the betting odds as SWP has done.

50-50 isn't speculative at all. It's the reflection that no one knows either way. There are the polls; and the betting odds; and then there are recent voting results, albeit not on a national level; and there is the historical accuracy of presidential election polling results over-favoring Democrats; and so on and so on.
It's as clear as fucking mud who will win.
