This is how we win
Trump supporters would climb a mountain to vote for Trump
while Hillary supporters won’t even get off the couch even if the voting machine is in their own living rooms
So if Hillary draws 1000 people at her rallies, add 11 per cent and that will equal 20,000+ people at the Trump rallies. GOT IT!
Yeah... except Democrats vote even when they don’t...even when they’re not alive...
I’ve been pointing out the enthusiasm gap for over a year — well before the presidential candidates were picked.
I believe the gap is really over 20 points. There is the gap this poll can see. But there is also a gap where those who lean toward Trump are afraid to say so.
Many of us do not wear pins. We do not have bumper stickers on our cars. We do not have signs in our yards.
Many have not donated. And MANY will not tell someone on the phone who they support.
It is not just a paranoia over becoming a target of leftwing rage. It is the REALITY of becoming a target.
Many Trump supporters do not want to become targets of harassment, violence, or an IRS audit, simply for exercising their rights to vote and free speech.
But there is another 10%+ who ARE GOING TO SHOW UP AND VOTE.
They may not wear red clothes on November 8, but they will vote Trump.
Hillary’s campaign has to have “campaign workers” show up to people’s homes and illegally “help” them fill out absentee ballots. They have to pay some walking around money. They have to bus people around to multiple polling locations, KNOWING the people on the buses are illegally voting multiple times.
But I think there is a pretty good chance that Trump supporters make up the difference in illegal votes by their enthusiasm.
The current polls are designed to manufacture enthusiasm for Hillary, the least enthusiastic candidate in anyone’s lifetime today. Donald Trump brings people out to rallies by the millions.
The polls are wrong today. They will trend toward Trump but will continue to underreport his support and the enthusiasm gap until election day. Then the REAL POLL will be given.
We now have absentee and early voting results to measure enthusiasm.
Atlanta news media covered the long lines in Gwinett County (NE burb) for absentee voting. Of course, they blamed the Republican County Clerk for the long lines. So they didn’t cover who was in those long lines.
So who was in those long, unprecedented lines. Was it enthusiastic Trump voters? Or was it proof of a super-effective Clinton GOTV?
Likewise across the nation in early voting. 50% of the vote will be cast before election day. Who ever wins the early voting probably wins the election.
