TODAY’S DEEP QUESTION: Just how badly will the tikis torch Terry? “The irony of any backfire is that it might let the wrong man off the hook if McAuliffe loses. He needed the hoax because Joe Biden’s collapse in standing with voters even in Virginia has made it nearly impossible for McAuliffe to put Youngkin away. If McAuliffe loses, you can bet that the media will point to the tiki-torch hoax as the inflection point rather than Biden’s incompetence and bungling.”

I’d say it’s a disqualifying moment for McAuliffe — and I’m not alone!
