Democrats 'scarred' by 2016 election fear a late Trump surge

Democratic insiders are plagued by a nagging case of political PTSD as Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden carries a lead into the final two weeks of a hard-fought White House campaign, confident in their party’s nominee but afraid to count President Trump out after the unlikely comeback he pulled off four years ago.

Logically, Democrats look at Biden’s position relative to Trump and are heartened. The former vice president leads the incumbent by 8.6 percentage points nationally. He tops Trump in key Rust Belt battlegrounds, is on offense in traditionally red Arizona and Georgia, and threatens in Iowa and Ohio — states the president won big in 2016. Compared to Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Biden is overperforming with key voting blocs that could decide the election.

They should be.

I've repeatedly said that the victory laps and predictions of landslide victories probably cost Hillary a very winnable election by coasting and demotivating people that skipped voting since it was a "sure thing".

I think that lesson was learned and I don't think that the opportunity for Trump to squeek out a win is as probable as 2016.

Here is a recap of 2016...using sports as an analogy.

Dems have learned this lesson... if nothing else. Every single lefty I know is voting Blue No Matter Who this time. Even those who wrote in Bernie last time.

Stick a fork in him. That Orange Pig is cooked.
