This not a normal election, and the things driving us....are not 'normal'. So my list of the 'drivers':
1. Mob action. While Antifa/BLM may be in disbelief, the bulk of people in non-urban areas don't react in any positive manner to mobs. Every video that shows mob action....drives people to vote for Trump. Probably over 100k votes in Washington state will flip to Trump because of this stupidity.
2. Looting/burning of business operations. Every video drives people to vote for Trump, as sending a message to the loot crowd.
3. Covid-19 'dictators'. Remarkable childish leadership seen in states like Michigan, NY, and California....have led people in these states to be skeptical of the intent and goals. If you feel skeptical to that degree.....you'd likely vote for Trump, to send a message.
4. For two years of effort with the Democratic House....there's virtually nothing that can be said on the accomplishments list except for a failed impeachment process. That doesn't win votes.
5. Pelosi. As much as Joe Biden would like to claim he is a national authority or national party 'chief'.....Nancy Pelosi serves as that person, and is marginally liked by the moderates of the Democratic Party. Around independent voters, it gets pretty questionable.
6. CNN. Without thinking much over the implications....the network has become the anti-Trump network, and become comical relief at various times over the past year. Yes, without thinking much about it....they enabled more people to find Trump.
7. Twitter and Facebook. Well, maybe it wasn't on the goals list, but they provided the platform for pro-Trump people to gather. Both are kicking themselves currently and in a state of denial that they did this much damage to the Biden campaign.
8. Homelessness. While the governor of California will say otherwise, he's basically weaponized the homelessness problem of California and charmed the public into a 'send-a-message' routine, with Trump likely to get votes simply because they need a platform to counter the governor's 'record'.
9. Blacks. If you'd suggested that Trump could stir up passion and possibly get one-third of black votes in 2020....people would have laughed. It's now possible, with black discontent.....that one-third of the national vote within the black community might shift to Trump. The Latinos? Don't be shocked if the same factor occurs with them.
10. Finally, Hillary Clinton. As the curtain closed in 2016, folks had the idea that she'd ride off into the sunset, and not be connected to this 2020 election. Well....because of the fake Russian involvement angle....she's basically tied to this election now, and a anchor for Joe Biden....meaning he can't move ahead if documents get put into public domain, and she looks attached to some massive fraud.
Suggesting this weird election could occur, or that the Electoral College might be screwed up enough in this election to fail, or that mail-in-voting was legal/ethical? Well....five years ago....folks would have laughed.
