“But this was where Trump needed to pull a Reagan and speak to the American People as he did during the Challenger explosion.”
Trump was Archie Bunker.
The Great Communicator was any much loved dad from any film or tv series anyone has ever seen.
That was a good thing. And a bad thing. Some soccer moms who voted for Trump in 2016 in Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee and Philadelphia decided that Trump was "too mean" so they voted for Joe Biden. That may had been the election right there.
I am aware that there were shenangians that were happening in those urban strongholds that were controlled by the Democratic Party. But if Trump was able to appeal to them, it would not be this close in the first place.
Joe Biden pulled off a con job that he was a "moderate" so he could get enough independents to vote for him. None of the other Democrats were able to do it. We know Hillary can't. Bernie Sanders? No way. Mayor Pete. Too gay and too leftist. Kamala Harris? She's from California so she would not appeal to voters in battleground states. So that just leaves Joe Biden who grew up in blue collar Scranton, Pennsylvania. Guess what. He fooled you guys. So this is the result.
