29. Frank Luntz: "The more Trump talks the more voters he loses." rough quote

Mon Oct 19, 2020, 11:06 AM

Oct 2020

Trump is not picking up any new voters but he is now steadily bleeding people
who voted for him in 2016.

His Shit Show/Bund Rally yesterday in Nevada might play with his base but it doesn't
get him any new voters and it chased away some a lot of his prior voters.

According to one of my late father's friends, a political scientist, Trump has a 25 to 30%
base that will never leave him. He has told them it is OK to use the n****r word again.

Farmers who have had to plow their crops under because Trump lost China as a market
who once were a reliable voting block some of them are voting Biden or not all, seniors in
Florida & Arizona who are trapped in their houses because of the virus are not voting Trump,
people who have lost their jobs are not voting Trump in 2020, suburban white college educated
women who voted 55% for Trump are done with him, and African Americans are going to vote
for Biden and Harris in as big or larger #s then they did for Obama in 2008 & 2012.
