The last week of a campaign is the longest week. Most of the polls have been completed. The final ads have been placed. The last lawn signs have been put into the ground (or pulled out by mischievous opponents). Cable TV is filled with inane chatter. And, the campaigns and the campaign committees are busy setting (spinning) expectations.
This year there’s the added uncertainty and chaos spurred by President Trump in the waning hours of the campaign.
It is why it is more important than ever in these last few days to focus on the fundamentals that will determine the outcome of this election. CONT.
