Another “Yeah, he got the prettiest girl in senior class because he’s the football hero quarterback and he’s rich. I hate him for that. See if he likes Log Cabin syrup poured into his Cadilac’s gas tank tonight.”
The North Carolina poll of yesterday was very powerful.
He won NC by 1% in 2020. He polls +4% now, and this is not important.
What IS important is why this perspective above fails — namely he leads in this poll by 5% WITH INDEPENDENTS. He lost Independents in the NC exit polls of 2020 by 4%.
This is decisive because Independents don’t give a damn about primaries. They don’t give a damn about tax and spend, either. They DO care about the Swamp and any conviction that might happen . . . they know exactly why it happened.
They won’t care. He’s added 9% among Independents.
He lost the popular vote by 7 million in 2020. 5M of that in California and 2M in NY. He lead NOWHERE by over 1million. Nowhere. No state.
The Biden support is hyper concentrated and Trump’s gain with Independents is decisive. They know the Swamp. A conviction will mean nothing, other than an easier target for a gunshot in a cell after election day victory.
