CNN: Some 2016 Trump voters regret their vote.



Panel of 6 women voters in swing states, all of whom voted for Trump in 2016, 3 of which are now going to vote for Biden.

The idea that Trump can't lose votes is a myth - he can with more moderate voters who actually use their brains.

From The New Yorker, 9/14/2020 (can’t link, behind a paywall)—
Is America a myth?
The United States has deepening political and cultural cleavages—possibly too many to repair soon, or, perhaps, at all.

...[per Yale historian David Blight]: “We are definitely not united,” Blight said. “Are we on the brink of secession of some kind? No, not in a sectional sense. But, in the interior of our minds and our communities, we are already in a period of slow-evolving secession” in ways that are deeper than ideology and political beliefs. “We are tribes with at least two or more sources of information, facts, narratives, and stories we live in.” The United States today, Blight said, is a “house divided about what holds the house up.”

He'd lose about 14.5 million votes

If one in five of his 2016 female supporters ran away he'd lose about 5.9 million votes

It's a good time to highlight his creepy sexist history
