Not much actually right in this list -- again. Will the pollsters admit they haven't a clue?
I suspect that President Trump and the GOP made some highly successful ads late in the campaign, including some that blindsided Democrats. He made ads denouncing Joe Biden as a supporter of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, and those ensured that he would win Florida. The GOP made a simple ad that ran something like this:
Quote:The election? Let's look at the Democrats.
Taking away our tax cuts? That will cost us money that we can't afford to be without.
Violence in the streets? Trump says he will back our police.
Trump tax cuts for the rich? My husband is looking for a job, and we can't afford that.
Donald Trump is a master of the visceral appeal, something powerful if intellectually sleazy in the extreme. It works. The idea is that no matter how you despise him, you need him to protect yourself.
When it seemed that Trump was winning I contemplated suicide.
