RE: Will Any State Flip Party in 2020 Presidential Election?

in #news5 years ago

I think the economy going strong is what most Americans are going to consider. Most any night I happen to go out on a main strip the restaurants and store parking lots have a better than average amount of people. Wages are up, I have one son making five bucks more an hour than prior to Trump, though most here are seeing a three to four dollar an hour increase in wages in still beats the stagnant wages seen for the last several years. I think the election of Trump was a wake up call for companies and corporations, though raising wages I don't think will get it for them in that regards as people are still aware of why those increases occurred and that was the movement against the establishment quo. It's way to early in the game to let go of the movement, it may have not of been the perfect choice but electing traditional politicians just wasn't working. I can't see Americans voting against their own best interest right now. The way I think a large amount of people view this is the fact that Trump could have just continued living his cushy life but he gave that up to fight for the Americans who've been left with a substandard of living. Even with the African American communities the election of Obama ended up lacking in real improvements in their lives, now they see him about as disconnected to them as Hillary claimed in her last campaign about middle class Americans. He didn't really care about them, he, along with all the other millionaire, billionaires used their political status for self enrichment while leaving them behind in the same situation they've always been. Honestly I don't think many of them even care about anything he has to say anymore. I think the claims he could have gotten a third term or that Michelle could win them back into the white house are oversold hype, they see them as what they are, sell outs whose only objective was them. All these politicians, corporations, billionaires achievements have left people living in poverty, those out on the sidewalks even worse than poverty while they pocketed millions and billions off the American middle and lower class. I think the game is up and I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more red states this election cycle than blue.

"I can't see Americans voting against their own best interest right now"
I don't think history is on your side with this claim

I think that after the Bush years then Obama people are a bit more content right now financially then you give them credit for. It's been a long haul, I don't see anything more concerning than a well needed respite from economic woes unless one is blinded by pure hatred.
