In 2016 I voted libertarian. I liked Trump but wasn’t 100% sold and didn’t have confidence in the establishment Republicans. Looking at the vote totals most states had Gary Johnson at 3%. In MN, for example, it was 3.8%.
Trump has been the most libertarian president we’ve had. That being said, I’m assuming most libertarians would switch to Trump for 2020, I certainly am. If that’s the case he’d pick up a few extra states while holding onto the ones he flipped. That mixed with the massive amount of people walking away from the dems we may be looking at a landslide victory.
I haven’t heard any commentators, or anybody, speak to this point. Is it just me? What do you all think?
Problem is voting by mail changes everything.
Turnout in the US is only 45% percent. And that's because voting takes some effort - you have to wait in line - and there maybe learn about a candidate or two while you wait
Now Dems can boost the turnout to 75 - 80 in some areas - maybe more. It's not just the voting by mail but the ballot harvesting.
These low information/low intelligence voters all vote Dem because they want free stuff. Just not sure you can have a successful modern Republic if you allow citizens who normally are incompetent or lazy to vote.
Going to get downvotes for this. But I am convinced Trump threw it all away when he let Fauci implement the lockdown by Dems plan. This led to voting by mail. And Trump will not win any state that allows voting by mail.
