No Comments Election 2020
Although there is much noise on the part of the Democrats, I don’t see any real excitement from their supporters. Vitriol, yes but hate for your opponent doesn’t win elections.
The House has spent most of the time trying to find a way to oust President Trump. Some legislation has been passed but Congress has very vocally kept the accusation crusade in front of the public, so it would lend most of us to think that they are a “do nothing” Congress. Perception is everything and Congress can’t show much bang for the buck which isn’t great for keeping power.
Furthermore, there is a power struggle in the party between the oldsters and the younger blood. Pelosi has allowed herself to be pushed too far left. That is palatable with people that always vote Democrat. But many in the party see the failings of their leaders and aren’t ready to abandon our constitution and way of life.
Elon Musk put it like this: “the left has lost the middle”. Rioting, looting, constant protest, and anarchy make most of us uncomfortable. I see no way for them to retain the House without resorting to ballot tampering.
The Senate is a slow-moving body and being they are elected for six years, voters become familiar with their names and as we know, incumbency is hard to overcome.
Enthusiasm is markedly greater for Donald Trump. Yes, there is much hate, but from what I see on Twitter, many Democrats are leaving for greener pastures. I’ve heard podcasts with guests from all walks of live and I just can’t believe old Joe has a chance. President Trump having and conquering COVID19 is a game-changer. I think all of a sudden many will have an epiffany and decide that fear isn’t as beneficial as they’ve been told.
To sum up, if Donald Trump isn’t elected in a landslide I’d be hugely surprised. Yes, I said hugely.
