i'm not basing this on the betting markets, or even the polls. that being said, the betting markets are favoring trump, and the polls are showing a neck and neck race. based on the polls, trump has a much better chance of winning than he did in 2020.  i'm basing my opinion on trump winning on what the establishment is doing. if they weren't preparing for a trump win, why would they be backing off so much? jeff bezos bought the washington post back in 2013. they have been one of trump's fiercest critics since he entered the fray in 2015.  why, all of a sudden in 2024, is bezos preventing them from endorsing the democrat? why didn't he do that in 2020?  that's ultimately what my thread is about. the elites have seemingly thrown their weight behind trump in a way that they didn't in 2016 or 2020. i can't think of a plausible reason for this other than that they are convinced he will win, and they want to be able to influence/control his presidency if and when that happens.
