In reply to the discussion: Another Blue Wave Is Brewing As Trump's Numbers Collapse In 10 Swing States [View all]napi21
(45,806 posts)32. I don't think there will be so many non-voters in 2020.
1. Hillary was VERY unpopular with Repubs & a lot of Dems.
2. The media had hammered the "Hillary will win" for many months, and some non-voters felt why bother!
3. A lot of people who voted for "The Liar" regret doing so. They're upset by so many things he's done.
4. Russian tactics have been exposed so they won't be nearly as effective again.
I believe he'll keep his 35%-40% base, but that won't be enough to win again.

Polls are as dependable as the sand on the ocean's shore, every time a wave breaks.
