I’ve moved on from expecting the election to be similar to 1964 or at least 1984 — a candidate and his party rejected in the former, a challenger decidedly rejected in the latter.

But now, I’m wondering whether it’s going to be 1972: a president re-elected then pressured out of office by both the media (highly atypical) and even his party. Obviously, the latter’s not going to happen but maybe the media will start repotting honestly — calling a liar a liar, a killer a killer.

On the other hand, I’m also thinking what’s the point of even trying to predict the future? Just work hopefully towards one’s goals.
