The Mule. October 28, 2020 5:55 pm ER

No election predictions from me.

I haven’t a clue how this will turn out next week. The polls are all for Biden, but Trump is like Asimov’s Mule, he confounds all attempts to predict the future.

It could be a rout, or he could sweep the nation. I won’t even venture a guess based on popular or electoral votes. I simply do not know.

I can’t even guess the general result, a clear-cut victory for one side or the other,
or a close but flawed result based on a technicality. Will there be cheating, accusations of cheating, last-minute legal or legislative maneuvers, violence, threats of violence, foreign interference? Will our rivals and adversaries take advantage of the confusion? Will it be settled quickly or drag on for weeks, perhaps months?

I simply don’t know. Its like the Normandy Invasion. For both sides, it will be the Longest Day.
