Remember not to become complacent. Make it your business to vote.

I turned 18 a few days before the 72 election and couldn’t wait to vote for Nixon. I knew then what a commie McGovern was. I hope there are enough young people that aren’t fooled by the old commie Burny to turn the tide this time.

1972?

Unless it’s 1918

It won’t be like 1972.

Not by a long shot. In 1972 our population of True Believers in socialism was a tiny fraction of what it is now. Today I’d estimate it’s somewhere close to 40% of the population with another 7-8% who could be persuaded to go along.

The only reason Trump will win is that there are still enough of us voters left alive who remember 1972. That will inevitably change over time. This is a much tougher fight than anyone out there seems to think.

Kim Jong-un would win California, New York, Vermont, Oregon, and Washington if he were the D nominee. Take nothing for granted...

Rasmussen has Trump beating Bernie by 8. What that really means is Trump beating Bernie by 12 - 15. It won’t be close.

Get complacent, and you’ll also lose the downstream races.

This is no time for overconfidence.

The current slate of Dem candidates does not look so good.

But don't forget the elephant in the room: Hillary

She would be the darling of a brokered convention, if it comes down to that.

She has the support of the Dem establishment, the mainstream media, along with the liars, cheaters and stealers, who will be out in full force this year.

Sure, the Bernie-bots will be angry and may even cause a stir, but in the end, if the Dem establishment wants Hillary, despite the will of the primary voters, that's who they will put on the ticket.

So she selects him as VP, and embraces one of his prized initiatives, like free 2 yr college

Trump won't have a 1972-style landslide even if the Democrats nominate Harvey Weinstein. At most I think he might pick up 6 or 7 states that he lost in 2016:

New Hampshire, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado. Maybe Virginia.

The Democrats will try to tank the economy if they can. The Never-Trumpers in the Republican Party might try running a hopeless third-party candidate in hopes of tipping a few states away from Trump.

1972 was my first election, but I voted third party. I also voted third party in 1992 and 2012. I don’t know who’s running in 2032, but if this trend continues, I’ll be voting third party again.

1972 was the first year I voted. I came from a “yellow dog dem” family and was in the process of leaving the dem party. My family was so solidly dem that I had to not put on my Nixon sticker on the car but put it on the dash when I left for school and take it off when I got home. I felt so guilty over voting GOP (remember in yellow dog families voting for any republican was tantamount to voting for a demon!) that I voted for Nixon for President, Howard Baker for Senate, and voted for the Dem Ray Blanton for Governor. So, Nixon had to resign and Blanton ended up going to the Federal Pen! But my dem was out of me. Have never voted a dem vote anymore in my life! The Dem party left me. I didn't leave it!
