    1. My hot take on the presidential train wreck, sorry, debate: In 2017 in France, Macron was way ahead Le Pen in the polls for the presidential election Le Pen went for a Trump-like attitude during the debate She didn’t close her gap in the polls and badly lost the runoff (64/36)

    I remember how I felt during the debate: "what the hell am I watching?" It was surreal, Macron was not "good" per see but as long as he didn’t felt in Le Pen’s trap (he didn’t), it was fine for him The two journalists were also completely overrun, as proved by this screenshot:

      As Le Pen couldn’t overcome her (large) disadvantage in the polls, I don’t see how Trump could either There are anyways way less undecided voters this year than in 2016, so the debate will probably only fuel the confirmation bias of voters

        I’m not saying Biden will necessarily win, because everything is (virtually) still possible until Election Day, but he’s objectively in a very good position to win the election, and even maybe in a landslide (less likely than a "simple" win, but not unlikely)
