I have to disagree about 2020. I think the democrats went with Biden because he was a safe bet to defeat Trump. Biden was basically everyone’s second choice, but the democrats and independents coalesced around Biden. He had a reputation as a moderate democrat, he was also viewed by most independents as a transition president, someone in-between Trump and whoever came next. Transition presidents don’t run for reelection. People are tired of Biden; they want a change. They want someone younger, more energetic, not someone who looks old, weak and frail. They don’t want Biden reelected, but they also don’t want Trump to regain the white house. You have approximately 30% of all Americans today stating they vote third party or stay home, not vote at all if the rematch occurs. This is something to be very worried about. You had 23 million more voters go to the polls in 2020 than in 2016. Biden won these new voters 64-32 over Trump. It’s these voters who didn’t vote in 2016 but voted in 2020 who gave Biden his 7 plus million popular vote win. Those who voted in both 2016 and 2020, Biden and Trump were in a 49-49% tie.

As it stands today, those new voters who didn’t vote in 2016, but voted in 2020 aren’t going over to Trump, they’re going if the polls are correct to third party candidates or not voting at all. Even if Trump doesn’t get a single vote from this group, those votes are subtracted from Biden. Which give us the basic tie we’re in today taking the MOE into consideration.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
