"The Election May Be Over"
There is nearly a month to go before Election Day, and things could change, but if they don’t, the numbers look like Joe Biden may win big. The national popular vote polls aren’t super helpful in predicting the outcome, since our winner is picked state by state according to the Electoral College. But the national polls since the presidential debate all turned even further toward Biden. What that tells us — no matter what flaws each individual poll may have — is that President Donald Trump did not help himself with his debate performance. When you add in the fact that Biden was already leading in most battleground polls (where it really matters) even before the debate, you get a sense of just how dire the current situation is for Team Trump.
Vice President Mike Pence had a good debate, but nothing happened that would fundamentally change the race. Now it looks like the second presidential debate may be off, which means there is even less opportunity for Trump to shake things up. If nothing changes, and something easily could in this crazy year, we are looking at President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democratic House and maybe even a Democratic Senate.

Many of my fellow conservatives don’t want to believe this. They will point out legitimate questions about polling techniques, the flawed polls in 2016 and the “shy vote” (those who may not want to tell pollsters they are supporting Trump) that may skew the results. There is some truth to these arguments, but it’s unlikely to close this large of a gap. None of this is a commentary on whether Trump or Biden deserves to win or lose. It’s just a realistic and detached look at the state of play today."

It's a totally detached-from-reality hit piece, calling the election and calling for a big Biden win. The timing seems suspect, somehow. As does the title: THE ELECTION MAY BE OVER
Over before it has begun.
