Shock: Trump winning in California and New York

That would be the equivalent of what Trump and his campaign is looking at in Texas and Georgia right now. This is their California and New York. Rest assured as nervous as you may be, the GOP are shitting bricks. Strength not fear. As Tommy Lasorda of the Dodgers used to say, “I don’t get heart attack, I give em!”

At this point in 2016 NBC/WSJ Poll
Clinton 44
Trump 40
WITH 16% UNDECIDED

Today
Biden 52
Trump 42
WITH ONLY 6% UNDECIDED

I just spoke with a friend and she is so worried the evil orange one may win. I’ll definitely share this with her.

Georgia and Texas were 5% and 10% wins by Trump in 2016... NY and CA were 25%-30%+

The red equivalent of NY/CA (in terms of solidity) would be OK or WV

Georgia and Texas in terms of size and population are absolutely essential to the GOP's hold on power, in the same way California and New York are for the Democratic Party.

If the GOP lost its stranglehold on Georgia and Texas, they would be done for as a national party, no matter what sort of lopsided majorities they may hold in West Virginia and Oklahoma

Your headline is shocking on purpose, then you talk about Texas and Georgia and then you cite current polls that I assume are for Georgia and Texas?

If a reader goes from your title to your statistics it is really unclear what you are talking about.
Thanks.
