It now appears that the 45th president will take more than 300 electoral votes, all or almost all of the swing states, and both houses of the Congress.

It has become an annoying and an obsolescent truism to claim that the presidential election is a toss up, a coin toss. This is the opinion of the Democrats still desperately clinging to the possibility of electoral deliverance from a fate so horrible that they had banished it from their imaginations for most of the last four years: the reelection of Donald Trump.

It is also the last refuge of the Never Trumpers, a group that persists and festers in the Republican establishment and a few related elite grips, but amongst the electorate, the Never Trumpers are almost extinct.
