Predictions on demographic voting in 2020.

I just looked back at the 2016 numbers. Seen Below.
Here’s what Clinton did:
WM. 32. 62
WM. 45. 47
BM. 91. 6
BW. 98. *
HM. 65. 28
HW. 67. 28

Do you see any real appreciable change in those 6 major demographic groups?
I think that Biden does much better with white men and Trump may do a little better with Hispanic men. Plus there will be very few votes going to third party candidates this time.

Do we know how the Times got his tax records?

What were their sources?
Divulged or anonymous?
I’m sure he will deny all of it.
I’m hoping it’s some of his accountants.

Will either Obama do any actual or virtual campaigning?

I think they would be Bidens biggest weapons to GOTV.

Many states count mail ballots BEFORE Election Day.

There is so much legitimate concern about when mail in ballots will be counted.
So, I thought I’d look it up.
This site shows how each state does it.

Republican Party changes mascots.

No longer are they Elephants.
They are now Hippos 🦛.
Because they are the Hippo-Crats.

Wish that "loser/suckers" storyline had bigger legs.

The Woodward book took all of the oxygen out of the Atlantic story.
Understandable since Woodward had tapes and the Atlantic story didn’t.
Still, I really wanted more media time devoted to Trump denigrating the military.
Wish some General would come out with some good Trump quotes and a Biden endorsement.

A chance to do some Biden visibility this Saturday morning.

ESPN College Football Gameday show returns this Saturday Sept 12 at 9am eastern.
This weeks location is the campus of Wake Forest in Winston Salem NCarolina.
REST ASSURED there will be Trumpers there waving their flags.
We need some representatives there too.
If you are in the area, please represent Biden on national tv.

Focus on Pandemic and Losergate non stop until November 3.

Yes, BLM and the protests against systemic racial inequality is important.
But, talking about that and especially showing any violence, burning buildings, etc. is counter productive and exactly what Trump wants.
He wants to talk about law and order and to exaggerate or lie about what he will claim is violence or aggression by the protesters.
I wish that all protests would end at nightfall.
Protest all day long but go home when it gets dark.
That’s when the Trump agitators move in looking for a fight And to show”chaos” to tv cameras.
That can’t happen if our side isn’t there at night.

The point has been made how systemic racism exists and how bad police are killing black men.
But, if Trump wins, that will get worse.
If Biden wins, positive racial changes will happen.

And, the best way for Biden to win is for the two subjects where he is weakest to be the main focus between now and Election Day.
And those two subjects are his horrible handling of the pandemic and how many lives it has cost and the gift he has given us with the derision of military service.
Our media mouthpieces and candidates need to talk pandemic and Losergate 24/7.

Any guesses on the 4 sources in the Atlantic story?

I think two are:
Kelly
Mattis

Our stretch run motto should be: LEAVE NO DOUBT

Leave no doubt about winning the Electoral College and the Popular vote.
We must GOTV in numbers never before seen.
Register as many people as possible.
Then follow up with them to make sure they vote.
Find out how and when they intend to vote.
Absentee in person or by mail or on Election Day in person.
Give them any needed advice on how to make sure their ballot was counted.

Let’s leave no doubt on Election night that our ticket has won big both on pre election night ballots and actual election night ones.
If we do this in big enough numbers, the race will be called after the California polls close
at 11pm est.
And we will party 🎉 all night long!
