16. The truth is...

Barring extreme suppression tactics (which are definitely possible and in motion), Biden could surpass 400 EVs. Yeah, I said it. Texas, North Carolina, even Arkansas and Missouri are really in play when you dig into polling data. Trump is doing ad buys in Wyoming and Idaho! Why? He won them by more than 20% in 2016.

It’s in the best interest of pollsters and media to keep this race close. Still, Trump has a 50% problem. Joe is regularly over 50%, And in reality, the hardcore base Trump is pandering to is 30% of the country at most. Biden has everything to gain, and Trump has everything to lose, and he’s losing it quickly.

That said, let’s not forget, Trump is a media creation. He stood no chance of winning the 2016 primary until MSM gave him a voice leading up to Iowa. It was a joke to them and they love promoting a train wreck. It backfired bigly then, but I don’t think they’ll let it happen again (this time). Semi-responsible outlets see the consequences of a Trump second term.
