Trump’s 2024 ‘mandate’ isn’t as robust as Biden’s was in 2020
Washington Post via MSN ^ | 11/18/24 | Phillip Bump

A lot of early analysis of the 2024 presidential election has suffered from three overlapping problems.

First, that vote margins can be influenced by changes in turnout as well as changes in vote preference. If voters stay home, the candidate they would have supported receives fewer votes. And it looks like a lot of 2020 voters stayed home in 2024.

But — second — not as many as one might have thought in the first few days after the election. Many immediate analyses of what happened exaggerated the decrease in Democratic votes or suggested that Donald Trump won an outright majority of votes cast, both errors that were a function of failing to consider (particularly) California’s sizable, slow-to-count vote total.

The third problem is that the shift to Trump in the voting — real and widespread — is being conflated with broad support for Trump, which is far less dramatic. It’s the difference between noting that exit polls show Trump fared much better with voters under 30 than he did in 2020, and acknowledging that he lost that age group to Vice President Kamala Harris. He didn’t lose them by as much, but he still lost them.

Bump is twisting himself into a pretzel claiming that the loss was not so bad. This is the Soros paid propaganda machine’s daily narrative. Don’t change course. Double down on the trans agenda. We’re anxious to get to normalizing pedophilia. We can win the next time by lying more.

2020 was fraught with so much fraud. Absentee ballots were so ubiquitous people had them coming out of their socks.

Delusion turned out to be their biggest problem this year. I hope they continue on with it as this headline would suggest.

Biden’s mandate? Was that the one that required that the vast majority of his administration be populated with Perverts, Pedophiles, and a bunch of other Sexual Deviants too numerous to name????

Is that the one?

Cognitive dissonance.

Pretty much admits that the democrats rely on one disgustingly left-wing illegal immigrant populated state.

There is no question Biden was given a mandate by the vote counters and fake ballot fillers.

So their first claim is that people who didn’t vote somehow support democrats?

Their own supporters abandoned them.

And of course they rely on collecting up and making up votes from a lot of bums who are too lazy, high or crazy, to actually vote.

Not as robust because the difference was to big to steal was invoked. With out the steal this time, DJT would have carried 4 more states and would have had 2 million more of a margin

How many of those votes for Biden in 2020 would have been suppressed had not the 51 declared the laptop Russian disinformation? Which Biden pronounced as fact , with no Kristen Welker fact check. After all, Biden lied about “only one person (Trump) got money from China” on stage during the last 2020 debate, while stating “you know his character, you know my character.” “Character’s on the ballot.” To some, those testimonials were reason to vote for Biden; to some, reason to not vote for Trump. So, that was part of the “platform “ that Bump would argue as part of the +4% that Biden got. Even leaving out the voter fraud, that was very consequential rigging of the election in Biden’s favor, an effective October surprise, now known tobe false testimony.

Ok, let’s accept the premise for the sake of argument.

Only conclusion by his own logic is Biden failed.

Did not fulfill his mandate or he’d be Re elected.

These writers are idiots.

No lie is so outrageous or unbelievable that the WaPo won’t tell it.
