Chicago style politics —you can’t win if the election is close. It has to be a blow-out or they will find a way to “win.” I think they knew they had it in the bag for awhile. Why would a president show up for a debate completely unprepared if he thought he was in the fight of his life? Why would a vice-president do his best Nicholson Joker impression if he thought he was in danger of losing an election? It all seems suspicious now.....
Very similar to the Missouri Senate race.
They got the candidate they wanted to run against.
