I still remember the campaign of 1980. Ronald Reagan kicked off his post-Labor Day campaign in New Jersey overlooking Manhattan across New York harbor to the shock and ridicule of many. As if Reagan had a prayer to win in New Jersey or New York. But he took both states and a whole lot more.
Pollsters were not friendly to Reagan either. They still had Carter up 9 points in October!
Trump is in it to win it, not to just go through the motions as McCain and Romney did.
I think McCain actually said that people shouldn’t be afraid of an Obama win. Was he threatened or bribed — we’ll never know.
But Trump is a true fighter, which is exactly what we need to win and “make America great again.”
