Donald Trump....I repeat DONALD TRUMP has now destroyed the blue wall. Yes, the man framed as Hitler for 5 years.

Look at the results of the 2016-2020 time frame — Trump wins Wisconsin, Michigan, PA and he follows it up with vote margins in the 1-2% range. All despite a 5 year media blitz against him.

Will we still hear about the “blue wall” going forward?

PA, WI and MI are obviously not strong holds for democrats nationally anymore. For two election cycles they have been in play as much as a NC or Florida.

These never were much of a "wall" in recent elections anyway. Skip the Obama elections as they were exceptional. In 2004, WI and PA were very close and MI was about the same as now. What is even more striking from 2004 is VA, NM, and CO all going deep blue with AZ, and GA turning this year. Then look at the margins in TX. The trend is clearly blue not red. Give it four more year and TX and NC may join the new blue wall going up across the west and southeast.

I thought he meant Trump destroyed the blue wall of Congressional cops.

Ya ran against Donald Trump aka “Hitler” twice and here are your margins:

2016
Wisconsin - Trump +1%
Michigan - Trump +0.25%
Pennsylvania - Trump +0.5%

2020
Wisconsin - Biden +0.5%
Michigan - Biden +2.5%
Pennsylvania - Biden +1%

Now after two elections against a guy framed as Hitler I’m supposed to still believe that a blue wall exist?

We’ve heard about potential blue wall forming for decades but look where the Democratic Party currently sits nationally. They don’t have a wall of anything — they’ve just moved heaven and earth to defeat a guy they called Hitler for 4 years.

The Democratic Party is as weak as its ever been and partisanship doesn’t allow for rationality.

They will continue going after Trump because they know he has 75 million true supporters.
