Yes, I think there is a big under estimation of Trump’s support.

I am going to respectfully disagree and maintain that such assertions amount to wishful thinking in the face of dispiriting polls.

The signs are unmistakable, not only in the Presidential race, but in the House and Senate races, that the GOP is headed for a catastrophe in November, if things don't change drastically.

Apparently you weren’t watching in 2016. You are greatly mistaken, or you work at the dnc.

I have to ask....just what do you think it is that the Democrats are offering America that is going to compel that result?

I think both sides have been set up to believe they absolutely can’t lose this time around. Either way it seems like many will not accept the results. The left will scream about foreign interference and the right will scream about voter fraud.

Of course social media and the 24 hour news cycle conditions people to overestimate the number of people who actually care about politics and society, at least enough to deign to vote about it and risk jury duty or whatever. A true indicator of societal anxiety will be if there is a big bump in voter turnout. But that might happen anyway because of all the mail-in ballots this time around. I thought for sure 2016 would have a massive turnout but it was down compared to 2008 and basically tied with 2012 in the mid 50% range.

dispiriting polls

These fake polls are manipulated so as to provide plausibility to the massive vote fraud the Democrats are planning.

“I am going to respectfully disagree and maintain that such assertions amount to wishful thinking in the face of dispiriting polls.”

I followed youtube view numbers throughout the 2016 campaign, and Trump was usually getting about 200,000 views per rally. Now he’s getting anywhere from 2 to 7 MILLION views per event. In 2016 everyone I know blew off my insistence that youtube views mattered and said Trump would lose to Clinton. Even those who supported Trump didn’t believe me when I told them he stood an excellent chance of winning.

So, I’m going to remain optimistic. I’ll lose some of that optimism if I start to see a real decline in youtube views. I just don’t think that running a campaign out of his basement and refusing to answer real questions is going to win it for Biden.

We’ll see who’s right in November.
