This presidential election cycle has defied conventional wisdom in so many ways that the list is about as long as Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses. Who would have thought a year ago we’d find ourselves here—with these specific candidates and many an “October surprise”—with less than 24 hours before Election Day?

To top it all off, who would have guessed “Carlos Danger” would be the low-hanging fruit that would tighten the race? Recent national and state polls show Donald Trump closing the gap with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to the point that he’s caught up to her in crucial battlegrounds like North Carolina and Florida.
