“You can fool some of the people some of the time, and most of the people most of the time. But you can’t fool all the people all the time.”
And if you fool yourself, you are the only one you can fool. This is going to end spectacularly, with an absolute blood-bath for the Dems.
Close your eyes and picture it: Trump wins 55% of the popular vote, carries New York, California, every state but Vermont and half of Maine.
He’ll never win the People’s Republic of MA. I believe it was the only state in the continental 48 where every county voted for Hillary.
Close. “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
I think the president will carry ALL of Maine this time.
In 2016, the president won the Second Congressional District, 80% of the state in area, 27,000 square miles.
Donald Trump won this district by 10 points. The future president and his family made a number of visits to this area during the campaign.
Her Heinous Hitlery Rotten Criminal won the more liberal First District in the Southeast corner of the state, 20% of the land area of Maine. I’ve heard people call the First District “North Massachusetts.”
Clinton won one electoral vote by carrying CD 1, Donald Trump won one electoral vote by carrying CD 2.
Madame Hillary won the statewide popular vote by 2.9% (because of the more liberal voters in CD 1). By winning the statewide vote, she received two more electoral votes.
Candidate Trump did not run anywhere near as many ads here in Maine as Hillary did in 2016, and he did not spend as much money, either.
That will not be the case in 2020, so I believe the president has a good chance at capturing the whole state.
I can not envision the situation you mentioned where the president carries New York and California but doesn’t easily win all of Maine.
The people I talk to here are livid about this so-called impeachment inquiry and the continued harassment of our president.
