Like Bernie, Trump is appealing only to a specific segment. In 2016, though, he picked up extra support from the anti-Hillary crowd and enough 'let's try draining the swamp' crowd to win. But he's not getting that now, which is why he is polling well behind Biden. Trump can wear himself out - and maybe suffer a serious relapse - bouncing around the country for the next few weeks. But it won't work. He's only reinforcing that base. He has nothing to draw additional voters ...no policies, no personal appeal, no anti-opponent options. His only hope is to subvert the voting process, and if that happens, he'll have hell to pay with the American people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about cultivating and harvesting the voters who otherwise wouldn't bothered but can be pursuaded to come out and vote. That's why it's is a good thing to be out there right now and try to win that vote. If there is a candidate/ticket with no personal appear, no draw, no "juice", it's not Trump. It may not help him win but if either party has the ability to move the needle it would be the Republican party, currently. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is if they can torch ALL the ballot boxes instead of just the one so far. PA has Biden with a 9 point edge. My aunt lives there (Allentown) and they did an impromptu survey of the 700 residents. Last election, over 65% voted Trump. That number currently has fallen to 38%. This was an assisted living place with an extremely affluent Republican base. I live in NC and several Republicans on our block have readily admitted they've voted for Biden. Biden's ahead here by a small margin. He's ahead by 4 points in Fla too. No, I don't see Trump winning.

Biden will get Michigan and Arizona, but Trump will get Florida, Georgia, PA, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, Texas, and California. No offense but I don't see that at all. California? The only way is if they can torch ALL the ballot boxes instead of just the one so far. PA has Biden with a 9 point edge. My aunt lives there (Allentown) and they did an impromptu survey of the 700 residents. Last election, over 65% voted Trump. That number currently has fallen to 38%. This was an assisted living place with an extremely affluent Republican base. I live in NC and several Republicans on our block have readily admitted they've voted for Biden. Biden's ahead here by a small margin. He's ahead by 4 points in Fla too. No, I don't see Trump winning. Too many people in the US have seen what he is. Biden has a 30.9% lead in CA, which last went R in 1988. I had zero gray hairs then. But let’s give Trump 6 IA electors, no questions asked (it’s very close atm.) Doesn’t matter, actually - won’t be the tipping point.. Further, let’s give the ME 2nd to Biden (1 elector.) That puts it at Biden 260, Trump 125 Remaining tossup states: AZ 11 FL 29 GA 16 NC 15 OH 18 PA 20 TX 38 Those 7 have to break 100% for Trump. No exceptions. 278 w/ IA, 272 w/o IA. If Trump loses any of those 7 - and he could conceivably lose most if not all of them - that will make Joe Biden the 46th President of the United States.

BobbyLayne Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Suppressing the vote / hoping for low turnouts in Atlanta AND Durham AND Cleveland AND Houston AND Philly - that’s the Trump path. And turning around his sinking chances with the elderly in AZ AND FL. Not some or most of those scenarios. Perfect storm, mistake free, gotta have all 7 - that’s the Trump path. Good luck with that.

There is no way on God's green earth that California goes for Trump, unless Alabama changes its name to California. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
