So basically if the white share of the vote is higher than 2016, Biden did better than Hillary because he got more white votes?

That is hard to accept, although Biden could have got more white votes than Hillary since he forced out the Green party from the ballot.

The article does make a decent point that this pandering for black votes has gone nowhere....as the % vote has stayed the same. Trump has done more for blacks than even Obama and yet these ingrates didn’t care.

No one said he did. He lost 5%, the only group he lost ground. Read the article. They have a point. He won 4 years ago with immigration/the wall - this time, not really emphasized. The reality is that Trump was a speed bump, whether he served 4 or 8 years. The country will now disintegrate 4 years sooner than anticipated. There will be an immigration deal in the first 6 months of Biden’s presidency and that’s that. All of Trump’s hard work wasted. What a shame.

Trump got 10 million votes more than last time

Exactly! Trump didn’t LOSE anybody!

There were just too many suburban Karens and too many fake ballots being added to the rat vote.

Here I’m relying on Fox News/ Associated Press’s analyses of voting behavior, ...

OK so I know this thread is worthless :)

BS. Trump got 10 million more votes.

Biden got the fraudulent numbers.

This was floated to discount the Dominion SW vote stealing.

Bull crap. How did he get 80 million votes without the White working class? Why post lies from the left?

The truth is presumably somewhere in between.

Trump won comfortably, but not likely by 10 million votes.

And he never should have had his corrupt, punk, dim, liberal SIL in the WH near policy at all.

To the contrary, the working class voted for him by the millions, and had the election stolen from them by their real enemy: the Democrats.
The working class will not forget what the Democrats have done to them.

The whole point of this garbage is to try to get Republican voters to reject Trumpism and return the GOPe to their glory days.

Not gonna happen.

I honestly believe that President, after he got COVID, and came out and talked about his experience and failed to show empathy to the American people that got COVID, the families who lost someone due to COVID. Instead he chose to be bravado about it all. Talked about how it didn’t beat him, the excellent care he received, the medicine he received that most Americans couldn’t get. IMHO he could have stilled portrayed hope but at the same time being more humble that he understood the toll it has taken on people, etc.

Yes, exactly. Brad blew 800M and no ads were produced months before election. I saw ads from Biden on every network, youtube, Hulu, Prime Amazon, Netflex, etc. It was in your face 24/7.

The President was hung out to dry, by himself, with a few loyal people in his inner circle fighting for him 24/7. He was up against the CIA/FBI/DHS/State Dept, rich liberals, the New World Order.

His fight is not over if Biden wins. He will have to face NY AG after his family and their taxes, foundation. Then the rape lawsuit from the dressing room lady.

There will be no peace for our President. Only thing keeping me sane about it all, that evil has been allowed to destroy our country without reprecussion’s is that God is in control. Maybe he was only meant for 1 term to expose the fraud, the evil, to appoint Judges.

Whoever controls the media, the education system controls the people.

And the flip side is that the media shapes the story. Trump gets no credit for coordinating the acquisition of PPE, ventilators, etc. or operation warp speed that spurred the discovery and production of vaccines and therapeutic drugs. Again, media manipulation. Conservatives have long derided the notion of a state sponsored media but professional opinion makers daily explaining administration policy without left wing filters would have been helpful given the adversarial tone of today’s commercial media.
