“It doesn’t add up.”
Yea it does. Unlike Reagan’s re-election, this election was ENTIRELY a referendum on Trump’s fitness for office. No one on the left voted based on issues, including the size of government, or fear of government, they voted against Trump...that simple.
To a lesser extent the same was true in 1980 with Reagan, but after 4 years in office, Reagan proved he was worthy and won in a huge landslide. The REAL REASON that the Dems were crying after the election was not that Hillary lost, but rather that their entire, decades long, approach to demonizing conservatives is about to get washed away with Trump winning...as the demonizing only works as long as real conservatives are kept out of power.
Great post and makes sense.
Wisconsin, Michigan, PA, VA, NH, CO and NV will ALL go Trump’s way in 2020 when he kicks a@@! :)
Not sure what else we lost that was close and could swing.
I have no hope for my native NY. Too much demographic change since 1984.
