21. That measure, though imperfect, does have some validity....

Donny drew massive crowds in 2016 while trailing Clinton in the polls even after she got Comey'd, yet did better than his polling in several key states. His crowed sizes shrank in 2020 and Biden beat him handily. At the time, who knew AZ and GA were even in play? Today, he's relegated to smaller venues.

Pre-flood, he had to settle for Asheville's Thomas Wolfe instead of the much larger Civic Center (Harrah's Cherokee) , but couldn't even fill that in ruby red western NC. I could be wrong, but it feels like this is 2016 in reverse with Harris outperforming the polls. All signs other than the rash of recent polls would indicate that.
