    There’s a third answer: I don’t know. That’s my answer.

    If your plan is strategy, it doesn’t matter what my opinion is. Assume the worst outcome and work as if you can change it.

        To answer otherwise would be lying. “I don’t know” is the only appropriate answer when you don’t know.

        Your dislike of uncertainty is not my problem.

          Its not a dislike, its a recognition that in the real world, we have to make decisions in spite of uncertainty.

          In the real world, we have to make decisions based on incomplete information all time.

            Sure, but that doesn’t mean this is one of those times. Giving my opinion on if Biden’s current trajectory will tank his chances is tantamount to nothing. And so I say again:

            I. Don’t. Know. I am not obligated to abstain from intellectual honesty just to satisfy your curiosity.
