His base isn't enlarging, but people who fear the radicals on the other side numbers are increasing.

The LA Times promotes Biden for all their worth naturally and they never never mention his dementia.

Which 40 states are you thinking because I don't think he will win the blue wall again.

Name them, oh great seer.
Trump will be lucky to win 20. CD political forums are divorced from reality. Its not possible for either party to win a 40 state landslide anymore

Its not possible for the GOP to enlarge their base. Its a dying shrinking political party. Theyve only won the pop vote once in the last 30 years (Dubya in 2004). The idea that a clown like Trump with an approval at 41% and double digit unemployment will not just win but win 40 states is beyond insane. Not even Nixon could win a landslide in 1968 and the riots back then were way bigger and more numerous than today.

And neither is the Democrat base. With how the Democrats have been conducting themselves the last four years and particularly recently, I think the Democrat base might have shrunk the fastest. You guys lost a lot of moderate Dems.

When you resort to name calling and insults, it just invalidates your post as nothing more than a hateful rant.

While the bums and punks who ordinarily do nothing with themselves continue their antics and destruction the GSM is growing silently.
In addition to loyal Trump supporters, there are many people that have “social desirability bias,” it refers to the effect of not telling the truth about whom they will vote for because they think their choice will be viewed unfavorably by others. It was bad in 2016, it's even worst now, in other words---Trump will get reelected.

Think about the looting, the rioting, the rise of victim mentality, the "everything is racist" attitude...wouldn't you have enough of it and be really pissed with what's going on in our country? And to know that it's the Democrats that are condoning it...it's obvious.

As an example today, I went to Lowe's, the cashier told me I was brave for wearing my MAGA hat, I told her I don't bother anyone so they shouldn't bother me and everyone is free to choose who they want. She said she wants to buy her husband a MAGA hat but he is afraid he might get harassed. They may not say it out loud, you know these two are voting for Trump.

Trump lies, Americans die.
These veterans obviously did not know how much Obama cut down our military. Cool story though..

Just an example of the silent majority finally taking a stand for the men in uniform, and here in NYC of all places!

Listen to them as they chant “defund deBlasio!”
