re: Democracy Institute/Sunday Express Poll: Trump bump is official

quote:

When a candidate changes his tune three quarters of the way through a race, it is not because he knows he holds a winning hand. He does so because the electoral ground is shifting beneath his feet.

The Biden campaign made this move for one simple reason. Its own internal polling numbers revealed what Democracy Institute/Sunday Express polls have shown for the past three months: the overwhelming majority of Americans, including Black voters, are opposed to the organised anarchy – looting, vandalism, mayhem, and murdering of innocent people – explicitly and implicitly cheered on by a considerable cabal of Democratic politicians, while an even larger number simply turned a blind eye.

Back in June or July, George Will did an interview in which he perhaps accurately stated that the only way that Trump wins the election is if the riots and unrest were to continue through the election, but (wrongfully) dismissed that as a possibility, claiming that riots always fizzle out - as if he's got his finger on the pulse of the street.

Maybe in the old days, but he underestimated the incompetence of the mayors and councils of these cities and the extent of the lack of respect for authority in some of these kids, especially when urged on by their "leaders" and corporate America.

I've been unable to find the interview but would be interesting to get his take now.
