Two Weeks Left – by Joe Klein – Sanity Clause
There s the contrast. Trump s gross, infantile spontaneity v. Harris s smiley, straitjacketed predetermination. Guess which show the folks like better? Well, who knows? Chris Matthews brilliant old formulation of the Mommy Party and the Daddy Party seems more powerful than ever now. The polls reveal¬hing, except that Trump is doing better nationally than in the past. The early voting reveals¬ too much, except that people seem to be coming out in droves and that more Republicans are casting early ballots than in 2020. But that was peak Covid so, again, who knows?
Will the dam break in the next two weeks? Well, probably not THE Dam, but all that s needed is a couple of tiny beaver dams giving way in swing-state rivulets. A point in Pennsylvania. A point in Nevada, a hurricane-created rill in North Carolina.
Liberal tears. Consume at your own risk.
