This is the loneliest cause in politics. Early handicapping is almost always wrong or off-base. (Obama 2008, McCain's 2008 collapse and comeback, Hillary's close call in 2016 and Kamala's 2019 collapse). But the poll-driven pundits just keep reciting meaningless numbers. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKarol You may be right. But certainly early polling didn't see Trump in 2016 or how close Bernie could come to Hillary. There is also a question of sample size, since we have only had social media since 2008 and the current cable TV obsession since about 2000. — PolitiTweet.org
