True. But the ones who aren’t vote in great numbers.
Trump vs. Biden would be interesting in my rust-belt state. Joe Six Pack is a patriot. Advantage Trump. Joe Six Pack is also a proud working man. Advantage Biden.
The tie-breaker? Trump promised a return of industry to America. That got more than a few of my conservative Democrat friends to vote GOP. But there has been absolutely no return of industry in my neck of the woods.
Fair or not, Trump will get the blame for that. Bottom line: I’d bet that Biden would take my state in 2020.
P.S. I’m not even factoring in the Democrat big-city fraud machine here. You can bet that’ll be running full steam ahead in 2020.
——there has been absolutely no return of industry ——
What industry were you looking to return?
With near full employment, does industrial manufacturing return still matter? Where I live, there plenty of manufacturing jobs but few jobless workers.
i do not believe we will ever manufacture such things as paint brushes or screw drivers again. As the tariffs on Chinese steel bite, there has been a return of basic steel manufacturing. I can not measure how much was or is being returned. I doubt if the textile industry will ever return to the Carolina’s. Ditto the furniture business. However, relaxation of the air quality regulation might permit the furniture manufacturers to resume the production of high quality finishes that were essentially banned.
The manufacturing return remains fluid.
