The Partisan Divide on Issues

We had a succession of three two-term Presidents (Clinton, Dubya, Obama) followed by a President from the other Party. Trump came close to getting re-elected despite an execrable record as President, which demonstrates the usual effectiveness of incumbency. The last one-term President before Trump, the elder Bush was basically an echo of the politically-successful Reagan. It took three terms for the Reagan-Bush Presidency to go stale.

Had President Trump been a more effective President, then he would have won re-election. He did enough to cause enough voters (by about one million nationwide, which demonstrates the distortion that the Electoral College creates) to turn against him. Trump claims to have lost because of 'late' votes. No, he lost because of votes counted late, and that the votes were counted late in Atlanta, Detroit, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh does not so much reflect votes coming in late as it does the delay in completing the count. Votes counted the next day count no less than those that can be counted and tallied within a few minutes after the precinct (with a small population) closes.

Republicans have yet to figure why they fare so poorly in winning certain demographics. When they finally respond appropriately they will win big again.

PB, you elected the worst president that the majority of the country has seen during its lifetime. That's just Us, the majority of modern day adults. He's also viewed as being the worst President in Modern Time by a lot of Modern Day Exports. You can say whatever you want about Trump at this point. It's not going to help the cause or matter to most to most voters as long as Biden remains in office. I think you would have been better off electing Gumby at this point.

I've told you why they tend to fare poorly with certain demographics. If I know the reason why, they know the reason why too. The Democratic party has complete control over certain demographics. It's not like it's a secret. You are a prime example of the control that they have over certain demographics these days. In short, the Republicans aren't playing the same game as the Democrats are playing these days.
