...all the celebrities were dying and we were worried about the prospect that Donald Trump might become President.

Now, its 2020 and everyone is dying and Donald Trump is President.

Biden is polling over or very close to 50% in most swing state polls while Hillary didn't in 2016. Moreover, a lot of the pollsters (with their inaccuracy in 2016 with turnout) overcompensated with a Trump bias. I predict Biden to win with a margin bigger than the polls indicates. But none of this will happen until we all go out and vote and bring others to vote.

It leaves out one of the most important ones though, at this time in 2016, Gary Johnson was still polling at 7%+, he would get less than 3%, that delta went almost exclusively to Trump. So Trump very well might have been ahead in 2016 at this point if the hidden Trump support that was hiding in Johnson supporters is figured in.

There is no Johnson this time around, there is no hidden Trump 4%!
