I have a sneaky, hopeful , tiny bubble of optimism that what you say could be true! Along with a giant plea to the Universe and whoever/ whatever runs it that this national nightmare ends before I do.

LC! Great to read you!

My sense is that the energy is with Harris this cycle.

Sure, it could be close. And as you say, that is what the professional pundits want.

But it could also be a blowout.

And I think that possibility is being missed by conventional wisdom.

All of which reminds me of a quote from the late, great Herb Kelleher, on “conventional wisdom.” He said, “if it’s wisdom, it ain’t conventional. And if it’s conventional, it ain’t wisdom.”

I call BS. If you truly expect a Harris blowout, you should put your money where your mouth is. There are plenty of betting markets open.

In terms of favorability, energy, new voter registrations, enthusiasm, volunteers, donations and ground game, it all seems to bear out what you're saying, Liberal! This coalition of all who want to stop trump and today's GOP has delivered time and time again, and until shown otherwise, I'm putting my faith in the majority of the American people! Thanks!

How many times have the professionals told us Trump is some sort of political Svengali only to have real voters reject Trump and those like him? A lot.

You seem rather hopeful for an avowed cynic

I am very cynical that professional pundits have any real idea about what's going to happen in November.

Also, I have decided to use my cynicism for good.

Well as long as you’re consistent :)
