You think Greenies and Brogressives won't find some reason that whoever our nominee is, is too impure for them?

Will Gary Johnson/Libertarians get as many votes this time around?

Some of those votes for Johnson were Never Trumpers that didn't want to vote for Hillary. Will they go back to Trump in 2020, or will they stick with Libertarians or will they vote for the Democratic nominee? Johnson had 3 times the number of votes as Stein (1.5 million for Stein, 4.5 million for Johnson, McMullin had half of Stein's total at about 750k) - if half of Johnson's Minnesota vote goes back to Trump, Trump wins Minnesota in 2016. If only 25% of Johnson's vote goes to Trump in 2016, Trump wins New Hampshire.

We know some Libertarians now like Trump because of the Trump/Ryan tax scam, but I'm sure others do not.

He should be at 20% after the shit he's pulled, but his supporters are so fucking misinformed that they're literally brain-dead.

manipulation of vote totals. Even here in red Wisconsin he's losing key republican constituencies (white suburban women i.e. "soccer moms&quot and making absolutely no new inroads.

plausible deniability. I'm sorry, but, I cannot believe 55% is all that 'won't vote for him'. He's a damn disaster. I'd like to know who they asked, if at all.

However, I would love to see the narrative developed that Trump is headed to a landslide defeat.

That storyline will become self-fulfilling in his fetid mind.

This is post Mueller Report. This is 17 months out. Trump won with 46.1% of popular vote. This is in line with 2016 numbers and in the margin of error for his final win percentage.

We. Have. To. Step. Up. Our. Game.

Concede. Nothing.

Fight for this election every day like we are losing because right now we are.
