If you look closely in the 2020 primary result, one thing is clear that I didn't see in 2016, is Hillary's lack of support in white working class voters. States after states, counties after counties that Bernie performed well in 2016 went over to Biden, while Biden kept where Hillary were strong as well. It gave me a bit more confidence that Biden will perform much better in 2020 where Hillary barely lost by a few thousand votes in a few critical states. It's still an uphill battle and we shouldn't let up until the actual election result is out.

I am very interested to see how WI primary result will be because it is a clear indication of how the pandemic will affect turnout, especially when Trump and republicans have been downplaying the pandemic (so they are more likely to go out and vote) but democrats have been taking it seriously and wanting everyone to stay home.

In a majority of tRump voters over the past 3 years. I've talked to some, and they are appalled at what he's done. His "core" people are actually a small group. The condition of the country has changed immensely. No way the majority are voting for him again.

I keep saying--the American people want NORMAL again! They are sick and tired of waking up in the morning and thinking--what has that asshole done now?

Biden will win in a landslide, that tRump can do nothing about. Have faith my friends!
