re: #23 NO SMOCKING GUN!

Anyone else with Trump’s poll numbers under these circumstances would be viewed as a dead man walking. Everyone is spooked because almost no-one thought he could win in 2016, but it was a total fluke brought about by difficult to replicate circumstances.

2016 - somewhat unknown challenger (give him a chance!) vs a woman half the country was taught to hate for no reason

2020 - we see you and know all about you now vs Joe who almost nobody doesnt like
