Peeliever @jonathanchait says "quite likely." Not much daylight there. Why do these anti-Trumpers have to play Times Needle? Instilling excited false confidence doesn't do the Trump opposition any good. https://t.co/yN5gonzlCm https://t.co/5kOKgT3mBf

Remember 100 years ago when @GabrielSherman reported that TrumpWorld was distraught because their lawyers were "woefully unprepared to counter Democrats' meticulous fact-based case" and the "dynamics" of impeachment were shifting against him? https://t.co/35hT0S1Tvg

I'd actually feel better about Trump if he's actually completely paranoid about the virus, ordering reporters off the WH grounds if they so much as cough. Alas, that story is from @GabrielSherman so you can't take it across the room, let alone to the bank https://t.co/ziUv0pd8H7

Here I am like millions of others doing a lot of inconvenient & disruptive & worse things to protect myself and stop the virus' spread and Trump seems to be telling me I'm foolish? The disconnect doesn't make me like him more (and I voted for him). https://t.co/Mgh8k0fc3u

A friend who heard LA Registrar Logan give a talk before the election says Logan gave the impression he was "saving the world." Messianism + Incompetence usually a bad combination. https://t.co/35XsD8ojik

But the politicians don't need to wait for the media to fire an incompetent registrar. I don't understand why experts like Hasen are so reluctant to call for Logan's head. Is it that he is one of their own–crusader for more/easier voting? Is it just not something experts do? https://t.co/oiRf2OKIo0

This is why @SupJaniceHahn and others on LA County board need to fire registrar Dean Logan NOW. If they go the gradual bureaucratic route it will soon be September and it will be too late. https://t.co/2fTC857hU6

BONUS: If Douthat can use "cosmopolitan" in @NYTimes, everyone can use "cosmopolitan." It's a useful word (meaning cosmopolitan).

Good column except for the words "very likely." Trump has plenty of time to correct for the political (as opposed to epidemiological) consequences of his spotty COVID19 performance. https://t.co/kcx1Zfe01E

.@daveweigel gives some reasons. (e.g. "[T]here is less noticeable animus toward Biden than there was for Clinton, and there is some evidence of Sanders struggling to add voters.") Not convinced, though. There aren't many polls to cite either way. https://t.co/up3toUcmC5
