As a “Demography is Destiny” type of guy, my default view is that the 2020 election should be a cakewalk for the Democrats. All Democrats have to do is not be crazy…but that seems like a high bar.
Katie Pavlich reports at Townhall on President Trump’s New Jersey rally from last Tuesday and the statistics gathered by the Trump campaign are interesting.
The analysis of the most important states don’t look good for the President but the data gathered by Brad Parscale at this most recent (and other) Trump rallies is encouraging. This is going to be a turnout election, one in which the Democrats won’t be caught sleeping again like they were in 2016. For Trump to win he needs not only to get everyone who voted for him previously, but also to add a lot more new voters. It’s easy to get voters like me to show up at the polls; I’m engaged and will be voting rain or shine, but most Americans are not engaged, or even registered to vote. Getting those people to the polls is a big ask, but absolutely necessary if Trump is going to have any chance of winning.
And then there is the part of Parscale’s tweet that goes back to the first thing I mentioned in this post, not being crazy. 26.3% of the attendees of Trump’s New Jersey rally were Democrats. If the Democrats are really serious in purging every non-woke Democrat out of the party, they can’t win. Of course we are early in the primary season now, where crazy is a premium; but for how long? The longer the Democrats remain crazy the better Trump’s chances are.
