While I think Trump has a really good chance at winning, I'm not sure it will be a landslide.
And frankly, I don't really care as long as Kamala is kept away from the White House.
She's pathetic as they come.

Denial is not only a river in Egypt. It is also a seductive expedient for the Democratic Party in the waning days of the 2024 presidential election. You see it everywhere in the official activities of the Democratic campaign. WinBlue donations are soaring! The polls still have Harris ahead! Democracy is on the line!
Escaping from the bluster of denial are worrisome little puffs of pandering, always a sure sign that the denial is at best half-believed by the denier.
This is not surprising. Denial is the reliable product of desperation: the realisation, however imperfectly acknowledged, that the jig is up.
Harris’s numbers among men of all races are in the tank. The only exception is among the brittle ephebes of the media and the academy. They are there with their Chardonnay, list of pronouns, and ageing Covid masks to plant Harris-Walz signs on their front lawns and warn against the dangerous tyrant-in-waiting, Donald Trump.
But this is a minuscule, psephologically insignificant cohort. Which is why the Harris-Walz campaign has been driven to desperate measures. In the last week or two, they have rolled out a pitiful litany of feints and diversionary tactics.
Some were unforced errors, as when the news programme 60 Minutes ran a preview of its interview with Harris that prominently included one of her signature no-calorie word salad emissions. CBS excised that response when they aired the full interview, substituting an innocuous reply to some other question. But the damage was done.
The original response was widely mocked. The bowdlerised substitute sparked fury and contempt for the hapless, in-the-can-for-Harris behaviour of CBS.
Liberals are starting to panic. Donald Trump is going to win in a landslide
