3. This feels like signficant overestimation of Trump this time around

MSG killed his momentum, and I think that it also tore the facade away that he is really all that popular. The MSM is likely looking at the existing voting numbers and realizing that they are going to look like idiots on Tuesday. This is why I think you're suddenly seeing this mysterious surge towards Harris in places like the NYT that were so adamantly pro-Trump just weeks ago; they recognize that the efforts to make this into a horse race have failed.

I still wish it would be a blow-out, something so big that Trump is effectively outside of the effective range of challenging votes without spending a huge amount of money that I don't think he has right now. I'd really love to see what the RNC's ACTUAL cashflow is right now, but I can't imagined they've banked much of it (assuming that much hasn't made its way into Trump's legal fund to keep him out of jail).
