We've lost our free press. Like almost everything else in this country, including religion, its become market driven and profiteering. Of course they need a close race, something to make people click on their advertising and their sensational headlines aimed at keeping you reading and looking at their ads, and clicking more to read more ads and compare stories.

I've thought about how this looks a lot like 2008. But, then again, if you looked at and believed the polls, the biggest complaint about Biden's presidency wasn't the economy, or what issues he has or hasn't handled. It was his age. That's what the right was drilling him with, that and immigration, until Trump neutralized that issue by his intervention. And then, poof, that's no longer relevant. Kamala Harris stepped in, and suddenly, every pollster and news media outlet had no model to run or no data to measure the effect of that on the election.
She's sane, he's not. She's competent, he's not. She knows what she's doing, he doesn't have a clue. She focuses her message and her campaign on us, he focuses on his self. She is a respecter of all persons, he respects no one and it comes across in everything he does.
I was about six when Johnson flattened Goldwater in 1964. But I've observed a lot of elections since then. I can't recall one, ever, when so many people who were in Congress or who worked for the previous Republican administration ever came forward to proclaim their support for the Democratic candidate for President. These are not isolated or disgruntled people, they worked in national security and were in the core of GOP politics. It's hard to gauge their influence, but given who they are, I'd say they are the tip of an iceberg and the Trump ship is about to rip its side compartments open to the sea.
