    All this negative news about trump everywhere makes me nervous. Don’t forget how confident everyone was when Hillary ran. Most, including myself, didn’t think trump stood a chance.

    Kamala hasn’t won yet. It’s still close. And trump has an unswayable cult behind him that see all this negativity as fuel to vote even harder.

    Dont get complacent or overconfident. trump could still win.

        Wow, that’s a lot.

        You can dispute what he did and make the case that it had some kind of impact but I think you’re simultaneously (a) ignoring a bunch of other factors and (b) vastly overestimating how plugged in the average voter was to that drama. Hanging the election on Comey is wild.

      Who was confident about Hillary? She eas a mediocre candidate with a ton of baggage. Kamala is a much better candidate (who still might lose).

      Also I’m sure despite him saying that he will not debate again, he’ll change his mind and do better in round 2 after they drill enough talking points in his head. It doesn’t take a lot for his base to claim a debate victory. He just has to look the part for the duration of the debate.
