“The past week was bizarre, berserk, almost biblical.” People are thirsty for normal. “There’s a lot of Trump fatigue, and it’s peaking at the wrong time for the president.” Increasingly pundits “are wondering if Nov. 3 won’t be a win for Joe Biden but a blowout, a landslide in a polarized country that doesn’t produce landslides anymore.” If Biden does win big, “part of the reason, maybe a big part, will be simply that he is normal.”

“Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won his third consecutive landslide victory on Sunday. That doesn’t mean voters are enamored of the man who is on track to become Japan’s longest-serving leader. Local commentators attribute his victory to TINA, short for ‘there is no alternative,’ and they have a point.”
