Around 7 MM in 2016 voted for a 3rd party. 4.5 MM of those voted for the Losertarians. If this is true then Biden will have a net gain of 2.1 MM votes over Trump.

It was the riots. All those riots scared the independents right into the arms of the Democrats.

Certainly not all of us.... I voted for Johnson in 2016. Already voted for Trump this time. I don’t agree with either on everything. But the choice was very obvious to me this time - a president who has done a great job as a leader and actually loves his country, or the Leftwing mob.

More fear-mongering.

Trump would never have those idiots in the 1st place. This is non news. These are hand wringing, hair brained, can’t decide which side of the toast to butter dbags.

Assuming they are all voting for Biden.

I have a feeling most will vote for Trump over Biden.

Our 20-something kid voted for Johnson in 2016. Has already voted for Trump this year, along with a friend who did the exact same thing in 2016. This is probably best filed under “Wishful Thinking” for the DEMs.

In other words, a negligible portion of voters who didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 are not going to vote for him even harder in 2020.

Not my fault if you can't think like a member of the elite media.

So if you could be so easily confused and vote for the wrong person Last Time, why wouldn’t you think that there are people out there who don’t know what they stand for, just like you?

Either way, 2 million votes spread over 50 states, IF it’s true, is not a game breaker at all

Incorrect and illogical. Go to Trump rallies where they tallied those in attendance. Almost 30% present were voters who did not note in 2016 and voters who had never voted.

Around 20% of Dems at the Trump rally are turning to those who support police not those who want to de-fund them.

Don’t lose hope, people. I personally don’t see how anyone who sat out 2016 can vote for Biden. He represents 47 years of establishment failure and corruption. He’s Hillary with a failing mind, ready to be manipulated by the establishment he served. Anyone that’s “independent” should readily see that Trump is the anti-establishment candidate. Trump is the monkey-wrench in their machine.

The Green Party folks do not trust and Biden, the Democrats and especially Harris and will have not option but to vote for Trump. Meanwhile, the Libertarians will realize the futility of their previous efforts and vote Trump.

its not true. Its not even remotely possible.

oh, hey im a libertarian and i am going to vote for the more tax, more war, more government candidate?

Its more likely that libertarians sit out the election entirely than that they vote for Biden.

me
a
break
