    God that 5% is just such flagrant bait, too.

    Yeah, that seems achievable…on the surface. And it probably is, too.

    Except almost every presidential election of my lifetime was less than a 5% margin to begin with. With the exception of Reagan, every single one has been <10%.

    That 5% is legit the most important part of the fucking election. And it’s a carrot to draw out “enlightened centrists” who can’t see past their own eyebrows.
