Is it the conventions or something in the water? [View all]

2 weeks ago it seemed like things were ticking along apace. General wisdom was that Democrats will take presidency with good shot at senate.
Now it's as if Trump and the Republicans have mysteriously morphed somehow. And Biden MIGHT still get by in a squeaker but we maybe shouldn't hope for the senate any more. All while fundamentally nothing is different except for the passage of a few days.
It's like like some prop crew is moving the scenery around while the actors are still on stage. It's never good when the property master and the director are reading from different scripts.

Am I alone?
