The Biggest Danger for the GOP in 2020

The Biggest Danger for the GOP in 2020
Excerpt: If you haven’t been paying attention, the President starts the quest for 2020 behind. Georgia and even Texas are showing swing state signs. The reliably Republican suburbs of Oklahoma went Democrat with turnout close to Presidential levels. The President won in 2016 because of 70,000 votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, all of which flipped decisively to the Democrats in 2018 with turnout comparable to a Presidential election year. But you are reading all of this saying, “You thought Hillary was going to win in 2016.” And you would be right. Just about every pundit and analyst in America thought so. And you’re probably muttering as well that the polls were wrong. Except they weren’t. The polling showed Clinton winning, and she did win the popular vote. The polls were national in scope and not swing state focused. The media will not make that mistake again. Clinton’s campaign was inept, and she ignored several areas in which she needed to campaign. Had she gone to Wisconsin, the results of 2016 could have been different.
