Long essay about how Trump did his re-election effort no favors by listening to his son-in-law, and adopting Kushnerism as an electoral strategy. This strategy saw him releasing serious drug felons early, while failing to take an axe to immigration and securing the border from day one. Enough 2016 white voters became disaffected to offset the Republicans who came home to the GOP (who voted against him in 2016) and the minorities who did vote in greater %s for him. But in ignoring the silver dollars (the white vote) at his feet to search high and low for pennies (minority votes) in every nook and cranny, Trump created a situation where the possibility of a second contiguous term is hanging by a slender legal thread dependent on the whims of the Supreme Court.

That must be how Trump got 10 million votes more than last time. Idiotic... He didn’t lose the white working class.

Maybe. The fact is, however, that whites will be a minority in the United States in a few years—we already are in CA, where I live (I’m white).

Therefore I’m very happy Trump got so many Latino votes. Latinos are natural Republicans—they attend mass weekly, they have large close families, they own or work for small businesses. They are the future of the US; they have tons of babies.

I did my part; I had 4 children myself. :)

Bullshit. Who the hell was showing up at his rallies, which were far bigger than they were in 2016? And who does this guy think makes up the majority of the 80 million people who voted for him this election? The felons he released as part of his prison reform programs were Federal inmates, sentenced for many years, for non-violent drug offenses. Compare that with the Democrat Governors who released thousands of serious offenders from jails and prisons due to the virus.

"while failing to take an axe to immigration and securing the border from day one."

What President Trump has accomplished so far is thanks to almost no one in Washington.

Two years were frittered away listening to the promises of Paul Ryan who gaslighted President Trump from the get go. Then there was the whole band of feckless traitors starting with McCain, Romney, Sessions, Rosenstein, Rex "The Gay Caballero" Tillerson, General Kelly, etc. etc. ad nauseam.

But President Trump's biggest error was choosing "Javanka" over Bannon and Gorka. Things would have been way different with Bannon and Gorka on the staff.

Here I’m relying on Fox News/Associated Press’s analyses of voting behavior …
You sure will regret doing that.

Assuming the popular vote count is correct.

Who here believes that?

Most of the people in that list are the type of people who get their nose bent out of shape when their idea is not put on stage and applauded. They are missing a bit of humility.

Case in point, John Bolton. Another one is Ann Coulter.

Funny, and yet, he had incredible increases in every minority class voter.

Not buying the premise.

Democrat lies to account for their loss of the minority groups. Trump didn’t lose the white working class. The Democrats did not get their vote.

Voters are very much “what have you done for me lately”. And the last 8 months of covid has placed it at the forefront of everyone’s mind. The President’s inability to educate Americans that the President has no official role because of Federalism may cost him IMHO. Those duties and responsibilities not included in the Constitution revert to the States.

It’s the fraud. clod. He didn’t lose anybody. Total BS, especially if Fox is involved.

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.

This was floated to discount the Dominion SW vote stealing.

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.
