2020 Presidential Election Tag

I was WRONG. Very wrong. I have have been writing that we should be expecting a 3-4 day crisis news cycle, where anti-Trump bombshells would be rolled out by the media every 3-4 days, and as one died down, another would be rolled out. That was the pattern for the Russia collusion claims, and appeared to be the pattern since the conventions this summer.

The media is tying itself in knots trying to assure the American people that Joe Biden is not on board with the radical socialists and communists that have taken over the Democratic Party.  They keep pointing at his near half-century record as a politician and screeching, "he's a moderate!" However, even a casual glance at his campaign website suggests that his agenda, should he win in November, is very radical indeed.

Democrats were clearly hoping the Obama voter coalition of 2008 and 2012 would show up for Joe Biden in 2020. This strategy became apparent during the South Carolina primary in June. Black voters carried Biden over the finish line and almost all the other candidates immediately dropped out of the race. It's not clear this method is going to work in November.

Democrats are setting the stage for something, what it is isn't yet exactly clear. They are moving in unison along with the mainstream media to predict that Biden will win the election based on mail-in ballots counted in the weeks after Election Day, Trump will refuse to leave office, and then ... well, then what?

In the midst of the Democrat's antifa/BLM Marxist "revolution," Joe Biden is lagging behind Hillary Clinton's 2016 numbers with Florida's Hispanic voters.  Indeed, two recent polls show Trump gaining ground with Hispanic Floridians, particularly with those who fled similar revolutions in their country of origin.

I have to hand it the GOP, I did not expect the Republican National Convention to be as effective and good as it was. It was the greatest show on earth for those four nights, driving home messaging that was extremely damaging to Joe Biden and reaching out to voter groups that are not traditional Republican voters.

The Republican National Convention defied expectations. The line-up of speakers was inspiring, the production quality was excellent, and it was much more dynamic than the Democratic National Convention. It was apparently also a hit with donors, who gave $76 million to the Trump campaign throughout the week.
