[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is happening people! Thank goodness.

Trump beat Biden in Iowa by 8 pts in 2020. Harris has overtaken him.

Wow. If this comes to pass, Harris will have a Reaganesque victory. [/quote]

Yup. I’ve been feeling this way for a couple of weeks. The gender gap is going to be huge and women are turning out in huge numbers. And the media is sleeping on the story of Republicans for Harris. This story hits on both of these points.[/quote]

I agree that the gender gap is going to be huge.  However, Hillary Clinton won female voters by 15 points and women were 55% of the electorate in 2016 and she [i]still [/i]lost the electoral college because Trump won male voters by 11.  Unfortunately, running up the score with female voters won’t be enough unless Harris wins them by like 25 points.  I think Harris has to do just a little better than Hillary Clinton with male voters to pull this off.[/quote]

I don’t disagree, but see my second point-the media is asleep at the wheel on Republicans for Harris. Other than his base, people are sick of Trump.

We’ve heard Hispanics, black men, and young men are all going to go for Trump. Or at least that was the story a week or so ago. Now Trump is in Salem VA for a rally. Makes no sense if the above groups are where you are counting on votes.

Anecdotally, I’m in Blacksburg this weekend. Took a drive around the area today-I was surprised at the number of Harris-Walz signs. It wasn’t half, but it wasn’t zero by any means either.[/quote]
