    So two things and I’ll let it be.

    First, the migration issue has gained traction among voters in swing states [2]. Our system doesn’t reward the most popular candidste, but the one who can garner the most votes by state.

    Swing states matter. And small, undecided groups in swing states matter most.

    All the data and risk assessment mean very little. Politics are emotional. They are in the pain of today and worries of tomorrow.

    I think your confidence is on shaky ground. And worry that Biden and the Democrats aren’t doing enough of the right things to be seen as better than anything else.

      Well I think we’ve both said our piece and it’s just a matter of time now before speculation turns history. Perhaps more productively we need to ask how we can increase the odds Biden wins by even more, which I’m not opposed.
