1980 vs 2024 completely different electorate. Too much stupid these days. I could be wrong.

If he loses by 9 it’s a 14 point swing think about other states

My belief is that part of what makes The Steal possible is the basic psychology of society as pushed by the media.

People EXPECT New York to support the Democrat.
People EXPECT 98% of blacks to support the Democrat.
People EXPECT big urban centers to support the Democrat.

How those locations and groups are currently thinking doesn’t necessarily matter, and how they actually vote in November doesn’t necessarily matter.

It will simply be announced that blacks, big cities, and New York voted for the Democrat. Most people will shrug and say, “That’s what I expected”. This makes The Steal pretty easy to pull off.

Reagan's New York strategy was genius. Trump is on track to make lightning strike again

Democrat ballot-harveting antics weren't nearly as developed when Reagan was running.

You are not wrong. Consultants like Craig Shirley who are still living in 1980s America are wrong. People no longer simply vote with their pocketbooks. Today, ideology is more important than survival. People would rather see their livelihood and existence threatened than to vote for Trump.

We’ll know if he’s serious about this if he picks Elise Stefanik as VP.

Lots of trial balloons to be floated between now and then.

Personally, I think NY is too far gone. But Trump will scare the s#it out of the Dems in NY between now and then.

Bonus, if by some chance he can flip NY, CT and NJ may not be far behind. PA, too.

in 2020, with a large number of mail-in ballots, it took some places in New York, particularly NY City, up to six weeks to count all ballots

Plenty of room for corruption there.

I don’t think Trump has a snowball’s chance in Manhattan.

Biden needs to win NY, not Trump. Trump would be wise to tell his supporters to vote for RFK, Jr. in CA, IL, NY, OR, WA, etc. hopefully in a deal with RFK, Jr. to tell his supporters to vote for Trump in AZ, GA, PA, MI, WI, etc. It would not only guarantee that Biden can’t win a majority in the Electoral College, but would damage the Rats as a national party in other races. That’s worth doing, even if it costs Trump some popular votes, which is irrelevant.

Can anyone help me find a source for this claim in the article:

“Several years ago, Biden foolishly said Ukraine was not in American’s defensive perimeter, giving carte blanche to President Vladmir Putin to invade Ukraine.”

I obviously can’t find it on Google and ChatGPT cites five links from the white house to deny it.

I disagree with this article. Reagan won NY and Mass. in 1980 because they were big Ted Kennedy states. The primary brawl with Carter ripped the Democrats in half that year. One of my wife’s distant relatives was Kennedy’s 1980 chairman for Central California and she voted for Reagan.

In 1984, Mondale named Rep. Geraldine Ferraro of NY as his running mate and the Gipper still beat him there. So much for the local female rep helping out.
