Today's Political Comment

I just want to point something out. I've been saying for months now that when one looks at polls, one should remember that a lot of possibly game-changing things would happen before the election that could not be predicted. That was my response to people telling me months ago that Trump was certain to win or that Trump was certain to lose. A month ago here, I said…

It's gonna be up and down, up and down, up and down…with many moments which will, at least at first, feel like game-changers. We've already had plenty of these. Trump getting shot at was one. Biden doing so poorly in the debate was one. Biden dropping out was a big one. Trump getting convicted of 34 felonies was one. The big Supreme Court ruling was one. There will be more.

Since then, we've had another possible assassination attempt, the Harris/Trump debate, the Walz/Vance debate, the whole "they're eating the dogs" thing, Hurricane Helene and the government response to it, Hurricane Milton and the government response to it, some revelations from the new Bob Woodward book and some other possible game-changers that no one could have predicted when I typed the above. There's still time for more.
