45. Oh, goody-goody, the map is SO BLUE. We're going to win, win, win...

Aug 2019

said everybody here in 2016.

Hell, even I was saying that all the way till 2am.

As MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow pointed out on Tuesday, Trump is underwater in 10 swing states – including Utah (!) – ahead of next year’s election, and it should have his reelection team deeply concerned.


Sure, Rachel. That sounds real familiar. You were still believing that even after the networks called the 2016 election.

I have stopped believing any BLUE MAP polls. Such complacency is perilous.

We need every vote in the center and right/center that we can get and not get all giddy with Big Blue Map news.

Wake up and remain fearful. Campaign like you are losing, not winning!
