This is something I’ve always thought, but have been too uncertain to say out loud.

Trump won definitively in the primary. But even when Haley dropped out, people were writing her name in. I remember thinking that at least a quarter of Haley voters weren’t going to vote for Trump come November.

But all we here about is polls, and disaffected Latinos/Blacks/Young Men/Born Again Martian Colonizers…and I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Harris has raised a billion dollars, most of small donors.

Women are furious about Roe being overturned.

We all have heard, albeit anecdotal stories of Republicans voting for Harris, as well as Cheney et al. endorsing Harris.

Harris’ ground game is nuts.

People LOVE Tim Walz.

People HATE J. D Vance.

The economy is looking decent.

And to top it off, polling has been under scrutiny for a long time:

Am I missing something??? Honestly, I try to veer away from talk like this, but if I didn’t know any better, it really, really seems like the media is carrying a lot of water for Trump.
