A Trump loss could stabilise US politics for a generation
There is such a thing as an unimportant US presidential election. Had Mr Bill Clinton lost to Mr Bob Dole in 1996, or Mr George W. Bush to Mr John Kerry the other side of the millennium, there is no reason to believe we would now inhabit a greatly different world.

There is such a thing as an unimportant US presidential election. Had Mr Bill Clinton lost to Mr Bob Dole in 1996, or Mr George W. Bush to Mr John Kerry the other side of the millennium, there is no reason to believe we would now inhabit a greatly different world. So when I suggest that Nov 5, 2024, is a hinge moment in history, don’t murmur: “Journalists say this every damn time.”
