Quote:I think Trump is going to win because many Democrats are talking like they are going to lose. And while every campaign engages in some sort of expectations management, the Democrats have been oddly specific in their pearl-clutching this cycle.
They are complaining more and more about a relatively new, entirely fabricated, but certainly sinister sounding boogeyman that could steal away the election: the “Electoral College bias.” Nothing screams “we are going to lose” more than saying the game was rigged in the first place.
Electoral College bias is the more succinct, more academic, and more think-tank-slash-Ivy League-faculty-sounding incarnation of the regular Democratic complaints about Republicans winning the White House without winning the constitutionally meaningless popular vote.

It's almost as if he has no idea that the man he worked for for years had complained about rigged elections, including one he won.
Well, the Electoral College does have a bias - it’s baked into the cake. Not sure how that equates to ‘rigged elections’.
To be fair, Mr. Mulvaney doesn’t seem to be sure about it, either.
