I tried to explain to him most polls til Election Day will either show a tie or show her up and not to put too much faith into them. I feel that her “popularity” is a media invention considering she lasted only a few minutes in the primaries, but there are plenty of people who will blindly vote for her like the “mean tweets” people in 2020. To say nothing of any mysterious overnight ballots come Election Day.
I just told him that the media will be pushing her harder than they did for Obama or Biden. I would love to see a landslide like 84 but ever since 2012 this country has sadly shown they will vote based on emotion and what is trendy in a heartbeat.
What was so seminal about 2012?
Obama vs Romney?
Romney was controlled op so he made sure to only ever pander to the most aggressive of right-leaning voters while ignoring virtually everyone else. I remember when he browned his face when speaking to the Hispanic vote. By that time, it was abundantly clear that they were on the same team.
Even now, idiots on compromised websites will show how they both debated with each other and were frothing over how respectful it was and I was thinking they and the talking heads were respectful about it because they were both on the same team.
We do not have to wonder anymore given that they are all rubbing elbows to derail the bad orange man.
