It was this week two years ago that Hillary Clinton’s victory looked assured, when the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape of Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault appeared all but certain to end his campaign.
Jesse Ferguson remembers it well. The deputy press secretary for Clinton’s campaign also remembers what happened a month later.
It’s why this veteran Democratic operative can’t shake the feeling that, as promising as the next election looks for his party, it might still all turn out wrong.
“Election Day will either prove to me I have PTSD or show I’ve been living déjà vu,” Ferguson said. “I just don’t know which yet.”
are now closely — and nervously — watching the current election near its end, wondering if history will repeat itself. This year, instead of trying to win the presidency, Democrats have placed an onus on trying to gain 23 House seats and win a majority.
The anxiety isn’t universal, with many party leaders professing confidently and repeatedly that this year really is different.
But even some of them acknowledge the similarities between the current and previous election: Trump is unpopular and beset by scandal, Democrats hold leads in the polls, and some Republicans are openly pessimistic.

How many times is the Left going to keep gargling this fake ass news?
All Trump did was point out the obvious. That when you're rich and famous, women will do and allow anything to get in the circle.
Just like in 2016, it all boils to the margin of fraud. The Democrats have to manufacture the proper number of votes, or they’re doomed.
“Trump is unpopular and beset by scandal...”
Yeah, that must be true. After all, President Hillary Clinton said so just the other day.
“Trump is unpopular and beset by scandal...” Really? I can’t recall another president at a mid term election selling out of arenas. Barry was poison and sidelined for all of 2010 and 2014.
A man with huge rallies is unpopular and beset by scandal.
Let them keep convincing themselves everyone hates Trump.
” Trump is unpopular and beset by scandal,”
Lol, Have you seen one of his rallies lately?
He’s a rock star.
Dems don’t stand a chance!
Election night is going to be funny as hell!
So glad to see you say this..... Sometimes, I think I’m the ONLY one who understands what Trump was actually saying in that video clip.
I always point out to people: In that clip, immediately after saying what he did, he walks out and greets a beautiful woman. Dose he grab her pussy? No. Does he, just KISS her? No.
He is respectful, as he always is.
SO MANY leftist want to use this bogus video as “PROOF” that Trump is a misogynist. It’s just not true.
Every congresscritter and senator wants him at their events.
They don’t don’t do that for someone who’s Typhoid Mary.
But that’s our dishonest fake news media.
“Clearly last cycle, polling was off,”
Understatement of the Year.
Eutopia.
That’s a good one.
The deputy press secretary for Clinton’s campaign also remembers what happened a month later.
She threw a glass of expensive whisky at me in a drunken rage that lasted all night?
Two face democrats covered over Bill Clintons sins for thirty years while distorting and making up lies about Trump.
What’s amazing to me is that the Arizona race is close.
Absentee ballots are starting to come in, and it is generally looking better for Republicans than 2016 or 2014.
It is looking unlikely that Dems will flip enough seats to take the House, falling 10 or more short.
Republicans will pick up a few Senate seats, but are unlikely to get to 60.
I can’t stand it either.
When people trot that out I always correct them.
“November 6th is going to be so much fun! “

Overconfidence can be a killer.
