The reluctant 2016 non-voter vote that now supports Trump is a huge undiscussed fac factor

in this election.
I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary in 2016. No way in the world I was voting for Hillary but I have to admit I had too many concerns about Trump's temperament and lack of political experience to pull the lever for him in 2016. It didn't take long for Trump to totally exceed my expectations of him and now I'm enthusiastically voting for him in November.
I've heard from and have read about countless others like me the last 2 or 3 years. Point being that there are likely a huge number of voters like me that say out the last election that are enthusiastic about voting for Trump this time. Unless Trump inexplicably loses thousands and thousands of votes that he received in 2016, I don't see how he doesn't win by at least as big a margin as he did 4 years ago.

This flip side of this is there are many TDS-infected voters who thought Hillary was a lock last time and will not be making that mistake again.

I am the same. I regret so much not voting for him the first time, I'm going to try to do it twice this year

The flippity-flip side is my dad has NEVER voted "R" before and is vibrating with excitement to vote for the Orange Man in November.

I voted for Trump.
He has far exceeded even my wildest dreams. Things you thought were impossible made to look easy.

Very prudent and wise. I hope all the “Trump landslide” folks are right. I’m praying for that. But we can take NOTHING for granted.

This describes my situation

I have heard a few stories like this in my circles also.
The non voters in 2016 might be huge.

I pray all of these stories are true.

#MeToo
I abstained for the first time in my voting life (I'm 57 years old). I couldn't vote for Trump because I was convinced he was a Democrat in Republican clothing. At one point, I assumed Bill and Hillary had put him up to running, just to destroy the GOP primary.
I've never been so happy to have been wrong about something. I will cast my vote for him with absolute glee this go-round, and would do so even if the ONLY thing he'd done well was begin transforming the federal judiciary back into a more originalist mode. Of course, he's done WAY more than that, to boot.

Nobody really knows how this is going to play out. That’s why it’s so great that a new SCJ is hopefully being pushed through.

Yeah...this I can't imagine. No one was passing on an opportunity to vote for Hillary that actually liked her in any way.
For me...voted Libertarian in 2016. I can't wait to vote for Trump in November.

That and you can bet people will be either flat out paid to go vote or for their mail in ballots.

This has happened due to deaths of seniors, but it's likely offset by gains among new Patriots like yourself.

I wrote in Ted Cruz in 2016. I had thought that Trump was false in every sense of the word due to his connections with a lot of progressives.
Glad I was wrong and will gladly vote for him in November.
And as a plus, Ted became a more staunch politician due to Trump.

The key is in what states?
It makes zero difference if there is a TDS mob 100 Million deep in California or New York

One of my best friends is 50% Mexican and he abstained from voting in 2016 and is 100% Trump this time around.
We give him so much shite for not voting in the last one.

Now think about all the Evan Mcmullin voters. 100k in many swing states. Maybe they vote for Biden but most I’d bet vote Trump.

I can't see them going to Biden. Sure, a lot will, because many are probably Romney-style Republicans. However, I would think 65-70% will go Trump.
