Nov 2018

Independents were going the wrong way until the past 10 days or so. Luckily Trump kept talking. Never prevent a Republican from sounding like a Republican.

My belief is everything tends to drift back to the beginning. I think that largely happened in 2016 also. Late undecideds who always weren't thrilled with Hillary kept her in mind and considered voting for her, but retreated to their early instincts and went against her, even if that meant aligning with Donald Trump.

But that type quickly reversed course early in 2017 and has remained on our side
