It seems to me there’s only one person being ‘ridiculous’ and ‘taking their eye off the ball’ here, and that’s the one ignoring reports of growing support for Trump (in this case, nothing to do with ‘manipulative stuff Trump’s handlers are pushing out’, but an independent BBC report conducted by the BBC’s own correspondent), denying there’s any chance of a Trump victory, and trying to silence those who see that chance as an ever-present danger.

Not so much taking your eye off the ball as burying your head in the sand.
