When you are pointing out precedent, to give context to the surge in poll results that EXACTLY mirrors the surge in poll results for the Democrat candidate at EXACTLY this time in the leadup to the previous election, you aren't saying "but Hillary".

Then again, I guess I have to consider my audience.
The previous election has no relevance to the present moment, that's what you are not getting.

Elections are always about current conditions and future projections.

And your reason for believing this is what?

Poll ratings for the liberal candidate have been inexplicably high for every Presidential election since Carter v Reagan, and they have always slid by a dozen points or more in the last few weeks before the election, finally winding up somewhere near the actual result. It's happened in EVERY election.

The only exception being 2016, where they STAYED high for the liberal candidate right up till election day, and then she abruptly got clobbered.

It will be even worse for Harris-Biden v. Trump, since Democrats have been harassing Republicans, howling at them for admitting they will vote for Trump etc., that the Republicans no longer give pollsters the time of day much less answer their poll questions. So the polls show lopsided numbers of votes for the Dem candidate, with not much response from Republicans. But the Republicans are more determined than ever to vote.

If you though what happened to Hillary was rough, you ain't seen nothin yet.

We appreciate that you fanatic Democrats have to devote full time to pumping yourselves up and pretending you have a chance, but we have to get back to the business of returning to the Constitution and running the country accordingly. You have three weeks left to agree with each other about what a good job you're doing - it's all we can spare you. Too bad, so sad.

Sorry Trumpies, but the dear leader is about to take his curtain call.
You are believing mainstream media again.

Trump is being re-elected, no matter how loud the east/west cities shout.

Hard working Americans that make up the bulk of the electorate are outraged and sick of Democrat's BS.

Prepare yourself for election night, you'll need some nerve calming agents.

I really don’t care that much who wins, Trump is not a conservative at all really he’s more of a reformed New York Democrat.

Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden insisted there was “nothing special about being an American” and that the country shared no common culture while speaking at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics in 2014.

If Donald Trump deleted all of his emails, wiped his server with Bleachbit (Like Hillary) and destroyed all of his phones with a hammer, would the Mainstream Media suddenly lose all interest in the story and declare him innocent. (Like Hillary)

Huh? In 2012 Romney was ahead of Obama in October.

Lol. Cool story man! Make sure to stock up on the alcohol for election night. Not only will the election be called THAT night but it will be a landslide for Trump. ANYONE with open eyes can see things are NOT going Biden's way. No enthusiasm for HIM and his VP, no one shows up to his events, he is campaigning in states Clinton won like Nevada instead of states that are supposedly battleground states like Texas and Georgia. Yep! Gonna be a great night for Americans!

Indeed-

I'm watching MSNBC again. It was priceless to see them when they realized Hillary lost- they just kept checking the results again, thinking something, somehow would change.

It is embarrassing how biased these idiots are; dems are blind and can't seem to see the obvious.
