Really- did he neglect to campaign in Michigan or Wisconsin? And give 500k speeches' to Goldman Sachs while refusing to release transcripts? Or set up a server in his hall closet?


There are plenty of people who played a hand in Trumps election- Sanders really isn't even in the top 5 or 10.

All the lefties have to do is hold the Hillary states and peel of Wi, Mi and Pa- or NC, Arizona and Georgia if they look for regional realignments. If Dems win Florida they only need one of the other 6 states mentioned above.
Lefties couldn't in 16, as once you call wwc deplorable, you concede the Rust Bell plus western Pa.

That comment was the point of no return for the dNC in the Rust Belt.

Regional realignments are funny. Maybe in the 2120 election they occur.

I will be ecstatic if he wins because I will feel safe from the evil machinations of the Uniparty. After his second term I hope there is a viable third party or that Trump has thoroughly reinvented the Repubs.

I can't take much more. I would seriously consider moving out of the country. I would head for Canada but I can't stand being cold. I hate what our country has become. I have friends who live in Mexico and its very affordable.

More let down about the American voting populus than I was in 2016 and more fearful of our future as a country than I did when he was ruled the winner of the 2016 Presidential election. This is because we know how bad he has been as President and there is really no reason to re-elect him.

I would feel great. I would be in total awe. It would mean that despite 4 years of constant Trump bashing from all of the media and pop culture that Americans have a mind of their own and can not be programmed what to think.

The problem with this is that the Republican Party under Trump is largely the Tea Party. I don't think that is viable for the Republican Party long-term. It is great for 2010 and 2016 but as we saw in 2012 and 2018, it wasn't. Local elections are one thing, but as I saw in Arizona, a mostly red state, they actually one don't like Trump and two don't like Trump's Republican platform since we got our first Democrat senator in years.
