Great post. And I agree.
I don’t much care if AOC and Omar win their seats again, which they likely will.
They ARE overwhelmingly approved of in their districts. Who do we think voted them in, in the first place?
They did not lie about what they were.
And those seats were ABSOLUTE dem seats anyway.
The bonus is we get two women who keep CONSTANTLY hurting their party and throwing intelligent women’s votes our way.
Along with a bigger slice of the Jewish vote, I am hoping, because of Omar.
Bump!
The president cant get re-elected with those numbers among women. Its just not possible, she said.
I mean they make up more than 50 percent of the electorate. We saw what happened in 2018, Hunt continued. Women energized to run against him and, you know, women who got out to vote and they voted against him pretty overwhelmingly. And I think that says a lot. And I dont think you heard a lot of legitimate strategy there from [Trump 2020 senior adviser] Lara Trump in terms of how to kind of shift the winds here.
We can discount the source of this fake news except for the portion set out in bold:
We saw what happened in 2018
I have been harping on this were some time now, that the difference between the election in 2016 and 2018 was 1) diminished African-American vote in 2016 and increased African-American vote in 2018, and 2) increased women vote, especially educated white suburban women for Democrat candidates in 2018, costing us the house.
I don't know what to make of the criticism of Lara Trump for failing to publicize a "legitimate strategy" for 2020 to remedy this problem.
I feel encouraged that the contributions from women to Trump are in small amounts indicating that perhaps the populist strategy to draw in blue-collar, Reagan Democrats in the Rust Belt is still viable and perhaps even making inroads with these women suggesting an improved performance over 2016.
