I see a repeat of what happened in 2016. All of the fake polls were inflated, but now they’re suddenly going down the closer to the election because the truth can’t be hidden anymore. The confirmation hijinks hurt them worse than even the WalkAway movement and other things. Money means nothing here.
I hope you’re right. Except that money is still very important. “Money is the mother’s milk of politics” (Jesse unruh, who knew it well)
