Local / state elections are not the same as national.
And perhaps I was not as clear as I should have been.
There is no Republican candidate who will ever come close to creating the national coalition that Trump did. His vote total is the apex. The Dems were able to manufacture enough to top it. It will only get easier from here
That’s a myopic and incorrect take on the election. Ronald Reagan’s 84 coalition was far larger, so was Nixon’s 72 coalition.
It’s insane to think all is lost. Particular as a red wave is about to crest.
