Hillary’s problem was not an enthusiasm gap. It was fear. People were scared of Hillary.
Republicans and independents feared Hillary. She was being investigated for deleting classified documents tied to the killing of Americans in Libya. She appeared guilty, but the investigation fizzled for questionable reasons — then reopened at the last minute. Rumors spread freely on right-leaning circles online that Hillary’s enemies tended to disappear. She had a reputation for being ruthless and efficient.
Independents don’t fear Biden. They fear Trump. Trump isn’t an unknown anymore — he’s a certifiable monster. He’s killed hundreds of thousands through deceit and incompetence. He refuses to wear a mask. He’s suggested disinfectant injections as medical treatment. And he’s now “pinned” a tweet about cancelling the American presidential election.
It’s really not much of a choice.
