It was known that the more people saw of Biden, the more he would become the “candidate”. The key to this election was to make Trump run against a “generic democrat”. So All of Trump’s negatives weigh against him, including the lies the media have told over and over. And against that, you have “generic, bland democrat who has no plans, or has whatever plans you think he should have”. “And also there is a black woman”.
Trump wins if you depress turnout by discouraging the half-hearted voters who want Biden, because Trump has a solid minority of people who would vote in a hurricane for him.In any normal year, democrats would not be motivated enough to over come that.
But this was no normal year, we essentially sent people ballots, and ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS TAKE 5 minutes to mark a couple boxes, stuck it in a pre-paid envelope, and put it in their mailbox.
You do not have to be very motivated to do that. And so you get a high-turnout election, with a lot of people who know little more than “Wow, that Trump is a horrible horrible person who is destroying the country and killing people with COVID”.
And so Biden wins a huge majority of the mail-in-votes, because they are trivially easy. meanwhile, Trump doesn’t get a lot of votes from the unmotivated republicans who could vote easily, because they don’t really like him either. But they would vote for him if they actually were confronted with a democratic platform — so Biden hides, Harris hides, the media lets them hide, nobody asks any hard questions ever.
In an election which was “do you like Trump or not”, in which you hand people paper and say “just check a box”, Trump has a hard time winning.
In a non-COVID world, he wins easily. The economy wins it for him, because average people are like “I’m really happy, things are going well, I don’t like politics anyway, I’m staying home”.
Nah. Not buying it.
That was the conventional cynical explanation being floated early on after the initial 3 days.
It was easy for the shlub vote to get in, so they did. And all they had to do was vote against OrangeManBad.
But it didn’t run that way in states that counted the AB’s early. There, the balances were um, more balanced. Like Florida. The only giant reversals took place in the battleground states that started counting ABs on Tuesday.
Recall that Trump was up by:
- PA: 682,000
- GA: 311,000
- MI: 307,000
- WI: 127,000
At 10 PM ET.
They all said they were going to stop counting, pick it up at 9 AM Wed.
But by 6 AM all those leads had been cut in half. And then went steadily down until the inevitable win for the Rat.
We’ve seen that here in California in 2018. Same pattern. The counting - and miraculous appearance of yet more ballots, all for the Rat - until the balance changes. Then the counting stops.
There is far too much evidence out there right now, and appearing daily. Not all circumstantial or statistical.
There’s no ho hum answer like disaffected, unmotivated voters sending in a Hate-O-Gram against Trump en masse. The reason they don’t vote is because...they aren’t motivated. To suddenly get motivation in these kind of astonishing numbers? Nah.
Beggars reality. It’s actually the less believable scenario.
