Someone writes this piece every couple of months for some reason. I think enten has done so a few times. It should be obvious given our two-party Electoral College system.

The real story is that has almost no chance of winning the most votes and could secure the WH for the while losing the pop vote for the 3rd time in 25 years.

Absolutely hate poll stories, esp ones so definite, w/ 500 likely voters. It gives lazy voters pause to skip. Remember when Hillary was going to knock Trump under the table or Biden was winning by large margins?

would be a terrible President, as destructive as Trump if not more so. I am not at all sorry to see his campaign beginning its steady death spiral.

The only virtue he had was possibly beating -- and he's shown instead he'd be worse in the White House than Trump, who, as horrifying as he is, is fatally weakened by narcissism and, frankly, dementia. Trump is more defeatable in the general than DeSantis.

Sure Ron, that oughtta do the trick! Just throw a dozen staffers under the bus, and then try hating the Black guy a little more.

It's Chapter One of the Republican playbook. And there is no Chapter Two.

Donald Trump's threat to skip the upcoming Republican presidential debate reflects a trend of declining candidate participation in debates.

Debates have a long and distinguished history in American politics.

And while they are often dominated by one-liners and shouting these days, political science research shows they do play an important role in educating voters, especially undecided voters, about the issues.
