What do you know about the middle? All the moderates/middle I know said they couldn’t vote for Biden due to him not being fit for office.


According to Pew Research, in 2016 Trump took independents who claim they don’t lean to either party, 43 - 42. Biden won it 52 - 43. The evidence shows more moderate voters went to Biden.

But it was false. Don’t be surprised when a candidate spews BS that the media calls it what it is.

Judges are cowards,they will NOT rule against a Democrat.
Look how Kavanaugh and ACB were harassed and intimidated by protestors at their homes which is a violation of Federal law.How many were arrested? None.

Judges have homes wives,children and they very much fear for their safety.Democrats have no reservations about making life miserable for judges and terrorizing their families.

That’s a good question. I think there are two reasons for that. First, he was new, and his style was new. It hadn’t worn on people would be my best guess. Secondly, he was running against Clinton who was really disliked herself. Trump was someone who was the more liked candidate.


Bingo on both counts.

For your second part, the 2016 pre-election polls do not corroborate this at all. Hillary was supposed to win in a landslide whether she was "liked" or not.

IMO, the answer lies closer to how media of all sorts have portrayed him as toxic divisive, an on. That wasn't done in'16 because the polls showed it wasn't necessary.

Trump won in the midst of pussy grab, incessant and extensive claims and allegations of sexual harassment, assault and “serial philandering, not to mention the nonstop claims and outrage over racist this, tax returns that - and literally too much more hysteria in and around that time to even recall. Oh and mean tweets and gruff style.

Pretty much the same exact lineup of stuff that the official 2020 election narrative cites as the reasons that the “middle” and “suburban housewives” ran away from him. And when asked “how does one explain the purported 180 in the final result, despite very similar circumstances?” the go-to response seems to be “well, Hillary was just a bad candidate.” Which to me is surprising that folks would seriously throw out as primary reasoning.

Trump was no where near as toxic or divisive in 2016 as he was in 2020. Also, Biden was a much easier pill to swallow for a lot of voters than Hillary was.

Take me for example. I still thought Trump was entertaining back around 2016. I wasn’t disgusted with him yet, even with the mild scandals he had during that election. By time 2020 came, I couldn’t wait to vote against him. That was the same set of circumstances for millions of Americans.

I always thought it was more the Dems strategy of wearing the American public out “with Trump” was effective and Trump actually played into it.

Fair observation, both yours and Goldmill’s above you. I lament any perception that I objectively hold my opinion above any other. Mine was more of an observation although it may not have come across as such. But I do think it’s an interesting observation.

It is. And I think the next 2 years will be more interesting than the last 4-6. It’s felt for a while like something was going to pop, and with each month missing a “boom” the pressure just grows.

Which of their policies to you find the most humorous?

Not just humorous, but “comic gold.”

Which I would question inasmuch as I’d say “comedic gold” would be the proper verbiage there.

Especially interesting because he is likely a Biden Harris supporter. I’d love to hear more about what makes him think it is so funny. Policy or something else? If something else, what?

How do you reconcile Trump's '16 win with this claim?

Trump was likely a one-off, and analysis will likely show it had more to do with Hillary than Trump.

Nobody liked Hillary and she had been at war with Obama since the 2008 primaries and Democrats didn't forget.

*ETA: even if it was primarily Trump, every institution aligned with the Left made Trump, and anything associated with him, toxic to most Americans from 2017-2020. Fair or not, that's reality and elections happen in present reality.

I’m not so sure about the analysis here. This is just my opinion, but it appears to me to be tailored to a built in bias against Trump. More direct to your assertions, I would just raise the point that Clinton wasn’t exactly down the list of Democrat hopefuls for the nomination……she won the nationwide primary.
