I appreciate your post. There may be a hidden Trump vote by people who will tell even pollsters they are voting for Hillary but may vote Trump in the booth, but it can’t be very large.
One big question is some Millennials haven’t made up their mind yet. I have two here. One knows Trump is better, clearly, even though he thinks Trump has problems. He will vote Trump; he’s just giving me a hard time. The other is apolitical and will need to be dragged to the polls. There are a lot like him. They will start paying attention, maybe at the debates, maybe in late October. We may have a lot of people to convince at the last minute.
Extremely anecdotal I realize. Much to my utter amazement, a good, longtime friend that has been an ardent nevertrumper texted me the other day to say he had changed his mind, and is now behind the “new and improved” Trump.
He and I have had some heated conversations, and had agreed to not talk politics in order not to have a brawl.
Moral of the story is if a Eric Ericson disciple as adamnet as my friend can come around, any nevertrumper can.
