> I don't recall Trump nuking Biden in swing states like Ohio where rampant fraud wasn't taking place being expected.
Oh please, 538 had Trump likely to win Ohio even without overperforming polls. He scored like 3 percentage points higher than predicted in Ohio, which turned his narrow predicted victory into a solid one...but you know where else he overperformed by about 3 points compared to 538 predictions? Michigan, where instead of losing by about 8 points, he only lost by about 3. And that's the state with the precinct that put sheets up on their windows that you guys seem so confident was committing fraud.
Crazy idea here: Biden wasn't as deeply unpopular and embroiled in scandal as Clinton was, Trump was getting blamed for the pandemic (not his fault obviously, but Presidents getting blamed for stuff mostly outside of their control is par for the course, so tough) so even though Biden wasn't an exciting candidate, he was still more appealing to the average voter than Clinton, and since the last election was pretty close, that was enough to get him over the edge.
