Nobody thought Trump would go far back in 2016 and look how that turned out. The guy is like a tornado. No matter what gets tossed his way he just plows through it. Like him or not you gotta give him credit, he constantly beats the odds.
But yeah, reckon the left assumed he was such damaged goods he wouldn’t get this far. Again.
He's also been fortunate to face terrible opponents. You can't get much worse than H. Clinton in 2016 except for Joe B in 2024.

In 2015/16, we were told by half-black Jesus "in fact, I don't think that there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office."

The half-black messiah/emperor/demigod said she was the most qualified ever, yet you dare to contradict Emperor Barack I in your evaluation of Hillary?

No no. Trump beat the most qualified candidate EVER in 2016. Don't take my word for it, just ask Barack Obama.

I think the liberal news media does this during campaign season to motivate Democrats to go to the polls.

For 3 years straight it is "Biden is waaaay ahead. Then just month's before the election the media screams "oh noes! Biden will lose if you don't go out and vote."

This isn't an admission of the truth so much as it is a Democrat/media propaganda campaign for Dem voter turnout.

They did this in 2020 too.

Did you all notice when the 'non biased CNN anchor'â„¢ said "We", as in, "If We can keep Pennsylvania and Wisconsin..." in regards to Biden trying to get up there to 270.

Does anyone on the left still want to claim that CNN is unbiased?

Heck, I'm still waiting for somebody on the left with an IQ above room temp and a shred of honesty to claim CNN isn't part of an Orwellian apparatus.

I do not trust them.

What is their agenda here, because "reporting the truth" and "not slamming Trump for every little thing" is not their M.O.

Is this supposed to make people feel sorry for "just an old man" Biden? Is it to rile up those who were going to sit this out?

Nope, they have an agenda, I just don't know what it is.
A conspiracy theorist who lacks a conspiracy. I’m afraid we have lost any sense of reality. We are doomed.

Correct and the Democrats started charging him with "Multiple crimes" and his name was back in the news daily and made him relevant again.

Their plan backfired. If they would have just ignored him and let him fade into the sunset, he would not have been the candidate he is today. They forced him in front of the cameras again, his biggest strength.

I am LOVING it!

^This.

They'd probably learned that by claiming Hillary was so far in the lead that some voters just didn't bother to go vote.

IN 2016 & 2020, most polls overestimated Dems strength, in all probability that's still the case. When factoring Trump is leading, the polls most likely underestimate his votes, and his EC advantage, a Trump landslide win is on the horizon.
