I'm so encouraged by the developments that are occurring since the election of DJT, but I do wonder if it will continue in 2 and 4 years from now. Is this a movement based on a man, or a true sea change based on an ideological shift?
Add'em up! That's over 212 million votes. No other political candidate in United States history across all offices and all careers has ever received more. Donald J Trump is the most voted for person in our nation's great history.
The largest popular vote totals by a Republican presidential candidate in American history:
1 - 馃敶 Trump 2024 - 74,845,955 (and counting)
2 - 馃敶 Trump 2020 - 74,223,975
3 - 馃敶 Trump 2016 - 62,985,106

Here's a fact for you... after three nationwide presidential elections, Donald J. Trump owns more votes than any single candidate in the history of the United States. Over 200 million!!
The rhetoric of the Democratic Party in 5 words...
"Every accusation is a confession"
Perfectly stated.
Just now: Oprah says that if Trump wins, "it is entirely possible that we will never have the opportunity to cast a ballot again"
Friendly reminder that no one voted to make Kamala Harris the democrat party's nominee. Every accusation is a confession.

I wish I had held to my 7 point Trump win in the national vote.
Predictions coming soon. Here's a teaser: I'm dialing back my initial assertion that Trump would win the popular by 7 (although I certainly still think that's very possible). My official popular vote prediction will be around 4 to 5 percent for Trump.

Looking at data coming out today regarding early vote turnout and indies preference, I'm starting to think my predictions are too blue.
Finding the nugget of truth in an otherwise ludicrous national poll from Marist.... Among independents, Trump leads by 7! That's landslide territory and precludes an electorate that has more Dems than Gopers.
I believe the big story on election night will be Trump's performance with Democrats - recall the 'Reagan Democrats' - especially among Latinos.

The issues are in our favor, the candidates are in our favor, even the polls are in our favor. Let's go execute and we got this big!

Factors driving my projections:
5 of 5: Maine's mock poll of 20K students has predicted correctly the last several elections. This year, Trump won it by double-digits.
Factors driving my projections:
4 of 5: Improved performance for Trump among Latino voters. I'm projecting 45% compared to 36% in 2020. This factor contributes substantially to New Mexico flipping to red.
Factors driving my projections:
3 of 5: Trump increasing black vote from 9% nationally to 13%. This is not a major uptick considering where some polls have Trump's improvement among blacks (up to 30%).
