I am not usually prone to wondering about the state of play in today’s world, wondering out loud about contemporary trends.
But so help me, I cannot fathom these public opinion polls showing Donald Trump actually defeating President Biden in head to head matchups prior to the 2024 presidential election.
The guy — that would be Trump — was impeached twice while he worked in the White House. He has been indicted twice for felony crimes; one of the indictments came from the Manhattan District Attorney, the other from the U.S. Justice Department.
It all makes me wonder: what the hell is wrong with this nation of ours?
I am heartened by the knowledge that we are a long way from Election Day. Polls can change.
Yes, I tend to trust polling as a stop-gap measure of the national mood.
I am just shaking my noggin.
