All the signs indicate that Trump's Alt-Right populism has reached its limits. Trump's constant aggression and lack of civility towards those who criticize him or don't seem to be part of his 2016 base has set a low ceiling to his chances.
Fear-mongering is a weak strategy against a moderate, well-known rival with a 47-year long track record -in addition to a two-term VP stint during the still popular Obama Presidency-.
The coronavirus pandemic has dissipated the doubts about the need for universal, affordable healthcare coverage, including pre-existing conditions such as Covid infections that will continue to spread in another or perhaps two more waves before a vaccine can set an end to the pandemic ordeal.
Most Americans know that the economy's outlook will not be very different with a Biden or Trump's presidency, but healthcare and pandemic management will. And on those accounts Trump is evidently on the wrong side of the events.
Still under the impact of the pandemic, the country is eager for a return to some sense of normalcy and civility.
