this time around, he has the perks that go with being an incumbent. He's certainly had people around him to instruct him to make the most of those advantages.

Also, there surely were potential Trump voters who did not come out in 2016, because they figured their state was going to vote blue, and they believed the polls that Trump didn't have a chance. They won't be sitting home this time around.

We have to run as though we're twenty points behind in the polls.
