I’m a Brit so the terminology may be abit off here but I see this election like a game of basketball.
Your down 2 points at the end of the fourth when just before the buzzer goes a 3 pointer is released. Now you may have been losing when the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, but if the shot was released before it did then it still counts.
That’s how I see all this election guff. Trump threw a 3 pointer before the buzzer at the end of the fourth, it just hasn’t landed in the basket yet. It will though. That’s my 2 cents.
