Ah, but in this election there’s a new factor to consider.
Because Trump and his supporters are being demonized in a way that Romney, McCain, and even Bush never were - constantly portrayed as stupid, racist bigots, and neo-Nazis - many are naturally hesitant to reveal their true voting intentions.
This “hidden” Trump support could easily be another 5-10% that doesn’t show up in the polls - but will on Election Day.
I suspect you’re right. I hope Trump knocks it out of the park!
OK, maybe I exaggerate. Nobody in my workplace in Manhattan are hanging signs and dancing about the hallways for her. But you definitely don't want to mention Trump at the water cooler unless you are 100% sure that you are in good company. Because the liberals aren't tolerant at all.
Fortunately, quite a few of us here are for Trump. We just keep it low key and among ourselves. Every so often, we add more people to our circle. It's like a secret society!
