Trump campaign spox Jason Miller predicted an 8-10 point polling bump for former Vice President Joe Biden after this week’s convention in Milwaukee:

Since the former V.P. is currently leading President Trump by 7.9 points in the RCP average, that would mean a lead of almost 20 points coming out of the convention?
So he’s saying he’s going to be down 20? https://t.co/nYdUpkoC9H

That does seem a little high:
Even their “raise expectations” game seems desperate in its absurdity. https://t.co/9dbRI4Jau3

Libs aren’t buying it, FWIW:
everyone expects a 35 point bump
anything less is defeat https://t.co/AR7FRWgyOX— Greg Dworkin (@DemFromCT) August 16, 2020
Maybe 2-3 points?
Just for posterity's sake, I'm guessing 2 or 3 points (on vote margin) at most. https://t.co/QE6ObZ1iNt

But Miller does seem to be the only one suggesting Biden “will just crumble like he picked the wrong grail”:

Watch:
Jason Miller predicts that Democrats “will get a pretty sizable bump” in the polls this week because of the Democratic National Convention.
Asked about Trump trailing Biden nationally, Miller claims “things are moving in the right direction” for Trump. https://t.co/D51h5M0BGg pic.twitter.com/QIKPFMz6x9
