Jerry Morgan, a longtime Republican grassroots strategist, was on the line.
“Potter, I’m glad I caught you,” he said. “I’ve been up all night long, analyzing the results from Pennsylvania. We won by less than 1 percent — 40,000 votes. I’m absolutely convinced if the Mighty American Strike Force had not been here for the past 15 days Trump would not have carried Pennsylvania.
Today they are known as the Mighty American Strike Force and their ranks have grown to more than 3,000, with volunteers based in safe red states like Alabama and Mississippi and impossible-to-win blue states like California and New York.

And they already have boots on the ground. On Wednesday, members of the Strike Force were meeting with voters in Sewickley, Pa., an upper-middle-class suburb of Pittsburgh. Once a traditional Republican suburb, Sewickley is now considered vulnerable for Trump.
As of mid-August, Biden has the backing of 49 percent of registered voters (compared to Trump’s 48 percent) in 15 battleground states — including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and even Texas, according to a new CNN poll.

The enthusiasm among Trump supporters has increased since he took office. That increased enthusiasm will help President Trump win this year by a greater margin than he did in 2016.
Amen!
If they could they’d round us all up and throw us in prison.
I believe you. But there is an incredible number of otherwise ‘normal people’ that are such idiots as to actually consider voting for an ACTUAL DEMENTED PERSON.
There is a population, also thinking that they are well informed that believe HARRIS is a black woman, that is going to be so special for them. An
d that “Defund the Police” isn’t really what they said , and that ANITFA are just some made up hooligans that don’t want to hurt nobody UNTIL THEY BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE AND BUSINESS. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE ALL GOOD PEOPLE.

Maybe we can do it. Hit the trail
So pray it he wins the popular vote as well as the EC.
My son just reached 1,000 doors this weekend. He’s been hitting the pavement every Saturday for the last two months, in blistering Texas heat. Even brought my youngest with him for a run.
So proud of my boys!!
TJ has purchased several hundred dollars worth of Trump gear, too.
Who’s gonna drive me to Wisconsin?

He was invited to a VIP luncheon with Lt. Governor Patrick and Brad Pascale for being a distinguished volunteer. He’s so excited and I am thrilled for him.
