With Texas and Arizona in the “toss-up” column, and Trump losing to every Dem in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, Trump is a dead man walking.
And yet, the press is still covering the race as if Trump is a normal President running for re-election. This is just bad, lazy journalism. Josh Marshall gets it:
(T)he political nation is in a collective state of denial about the depths of the President’s unpopularity and his uphill challenge seeking reelection. The denial isn’t based on nothing. The 2016 outcome was a shocking as well as a calamitous result, one based on significant albeit sometimes overstated polling misses in the key states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Still, it’s warped our collective understanding of just what’s happening in the 2020 cycle.
