In Biden’s awakening from political death, they entirely missed the
untold story of Super Tuesday: President Donald Trump’s record-breaking vote counts and
turnout.
managed to break several turnout and vote-count records in blue states
and key swing states.
In Vermont and Minnesota, Trump’s vote totals beat every past incumbent’s
total in the last four decades. In Maine, the president’s vote total bested
every primary candidate’s total since before President Ronald Reagan. In Massachusetts, the
story was similar, with Trump aggregating a higher vote total than past
incumbent Republicans since before Reagan.
And in deeply blue California, with 82 percent of precincts reporting,
President Trump collected nearly 1.4 million votes.
Turnout numbers similarly showcased the enthusiasm of Republican
voters. In Colorado, for example, Republican turnout for Trump on
Tuesday was greater than the past three Republican primaries combined.
The evident enthusiasm for Trump was made clear in red states, in swing
states, even in blue states on Tuesday evening, indicating that the Republican
Party is more unified than ever before and is growing in numbers.
Indeed, Tuesday night’s results are reflective of the data the Trump
campaign collects in the lead-up to rallies. The campaign routinely finds that
about a quarter of those who register to attend Trump rallies are Democrats and
around 10 percent to 15 percent did not vote in 2016.
For example, in Nevada – the most recent blue state where the Trump
campaign held a rally –
27 percent of rally registrants were black or Latino and 32 percent of
registrants overall did not vote in 2016.
Tuesday night’s results, combined with rally data, indicate that the
Trump coalition is growing larger and is more energetic than ever before.
(I-Vt.) continues to collect a competitive number of delegates. The
chaos on the left could very well materialize into a brokered convention in
which party elites or super delegates could decide on the convention floor who
the party’s nominee should be.
(D-Minn.) dropping out just before Super Tuesday and endorsing Biden,
alongside former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas), it’s no wonder that Sanders
supporters feel aggrieved at the idea of backroom deals depriving Sanders of
the nomination.
While Democrats duke it out in a chaotic process that could end in a
floor fight in Milwaukee, and while many in the media ignore the energy behind
the Trump movement, Republican voters remain coalesced behind the president.
As some in the media spin the narrative of Democrats on the rise, many
of the same pundits who found themselves stunned by President Trump’s victory
on Nov. 8, 2016, will find themselves even more stunned on Nov. 3, 2020.

Wonderful, just what we need...four more years of this imbecile!
Funny. I felt the same way about President Obama after his first four years!
