(43,890 posts)For it seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate. This summer's almost certain standoff will either end in real give-and-take negotiations or terrible escalation; and for every means we have to escalate, the enemy can match us, and that applies to invasion of the North, the use of nuclear weapons, or the mere commitment of one hundred, or two hundred, or three hundred thousand more American troops to the battle. And with each escalation, the world comes closer to the brink of cosmic disaster.

(44,173 posts)but Stirewalt was and is on the decision desk team for Fox. Over several election cycles, he is one of the people who make the election night calls.
He walked back Karl Rove's nonsense on election night 2012. Rove himself has now all but counted Trump out now too.
Anyway, Stirewalt is all about the data and the evidence, not conspiracy theorists.
