‘Biden Casts Himself as the Trump Beater. Polls Suggest That’s No Sure Thing.” I’ll admit it: The ostensible pessimism of the New York Times in yesterday’s — for the Gray Lady — splashy headline (above an analysis by Peter Baker) had me chuckling. Ruefully.

The plan is coming together, hidden in plain sight. And it’s working: Even here at NR, there is resignation, and in the Never-Ever-Trump precincts of the Right, there is downright consternation, over the notion that Donald Trump could be elected president in 2024.
