Trump won Texas with 52.39% and Florida with 51.22%.. what is 2.5% in Texas and/lor 1.5% in Florida of the “new silent majority” vote blue in 2024?. That would make Texas and Florida blue states.. the reaction (by election deniers) would make January 6 look like a food fight..
Just something to think about..
I hope you are right but I am only guardedly optimistic. biden is the wildcard in this. The dems need to draw voters and I am not sure that will happen.
A little more on trump's numbers: trump got 83%, but only 29% of the voters went to the poles. I do believe that as time goes on more and more of the less fanatic will drop off---but not necessarily to biden.
I should note that PA is a closed primary state---thus I could not vote---but my wife did and wrote in Liz Cheney
