I feel as sure that tRump is going to lose as I felt Mondale was going to lose [View all]

Late in his failed presidential campaign, Walter Mondale made an outdoor appearance in NYC’s garment district. I was living in NYC at the time and was one of the thousands that attended that rally. There was a palpable feeling that we were on the way to defeat. The applause seemed minimal, empty. The candidate just didn’t have the look of a person charging forward to victory.

I had the feeling that we were all being as supportive as we could be of a lost cause. But our hearts weren’t in it. I get that same feeling watching tRump rallies, especially when contrasted with the real enthusiasm one sees at Harris rallies.
