2016 Election Period versus 2020 Election Period

Basically, ten observations:

1.  Less trust and belief in the news media today, than four years ago.  The 'mute-button' is more heavily used. 

2.  Almost zero trust in polling data, at present.

3.  Hillary Clinton was out and about....very active in July and August, and only limited around 9-11 for that week of serious pneumonia.  Joe Biden?  Probably on appearances and speeches....doing 10-percent of what Hillary handled.

4.  Tim Kaine (Hillary's VP) is almost forgotten today, and wasn't a big deal in 2016.  Harris?  She's carrying the entire campaign from this point forward.

5.  Russian collusion chatter?  Now, almost non-existent.

6.  If you tested a hundred Americans, at least 70-percent know Joe's wife....mostly because she's the primary one on the campaign trail.

7.  Antifa is basically flipping a minimum of a thousand-odd votes per day....from Joe Biden to Donald Trump.  The BLM message is probably one of worst screw-ups in Democratic Party history.

8.  The destruction of Minneapolis?  It probably guaranteed Trump the state.

9.  Thanks to CNN in both 2016 and 2020, most Europeans today firmly believe Joe Biden will win (90-plus percent chance).

10.  There are really three candidates in the 2020 election: Biden, Trump, and Covid-19.
