The Secret Biden Voter.. they are everywhere

I have been wondering if anyone else is seeing this bubble up among their republican acquaintances and friends.. I am mostly seeing it in my church community..but suddenly the over 65 group that really helped Trump get elected are so sick and tired of his antics... and they are talking with genuine affection about Joe Biden.. someone they feel they can trust. They are so impressed with his demeanor and presence. They miss a real President and not a reality hack who sold them magic beans that did not grow.

If we keep our foot on the gas on getting out the vote.. and welcome home the voters who took a chance on Trump.. we could blow the socks off of this..

Its funny they keep talking about the secret Trump voter. The secret Biden voter is probably 2x that number.

There are no new Trump signs anywhere around my home.. the people who have the Trump flags and signs.. are the same ones who have had them for four years.. he is growing nothing.. not that signs mean anything, but I do not hear anyone talking up Trump in the senior set.. those who have been supporting him with vehemence still do.. but everyone else has moved on.

but I think we are going to see a Biden landslide even bigger than Obama 2008.

to sit with my own age group (love you 20, 30 and 40 somethings.. but it is nice to have this common political bond with my own age group)..and they are so joyous to have Joe to go to for support.. I think he gives them a soft place to land after the craziness of the last few years..

From polling, it's like 5-10% and they made a big deal out of it. But what they didn't say is, from polling, there is 10-20% of Trump-Biden voters. Of course, to overcompensate for the fluke that is 2016, they have to discuss Trump and ignore Biden's strength.

They are voting for Biden, the ones without the signs in their yards.
