    The case may be that no news development can dramatically change the race’s trajectory because the partisan bases for the two candidates are broad and firm, and the “double haters” in the middle will continue to double their hate.

    If the contours of the race remained fixed, its outcome may hinge upon the quality of their two parties’ get-out-the-vote operations

        It’s from the article which nobody seemed to read. I also happen to believe it’s true.

            I indented them. In any case,the polls are not changing. Still close with slight margin inside the error rate for Trump. I too believe this will be a get out the vote election.

              Trump getting shot at has helped his side’s “get out to vote” equation though.

                True, but three months is a lifetime in US politics. Add to that,Biden has built out local offices to handle GOTV. Trump hasn’t
