Is any of this affecting the people who voted for obama and then trump?

[HighStickHarry]

That’s the big question.

 

[SMemmett]

If they are fickle enough to jump from two pretty different candidates, I’d assume they are fickle enough to jump back at a small provocation. Not a bloc to be too confident in.

 

[HighStickHarry]

I think they are psychotic as well but with this full court press by the media is it changing their opinions? Does anyone know these kind of people?

 

[SMemmett]

Can’t say that I do. In an admittedly small sample size, Trump voters I know, were largely apolitical before the 2016 election.

I personally don't know of any.

Or people who reluctantly voted for "the Scalia seat" and "not Hillary", assuming neither of those are on the ballot in 2020.

I know multiple people who voted for Trump and now wish they had not.

I think there will be plenty of Trump voters primed to jump ship in 2020. The question, in my mind, is if the Dems will be able to put forth a candidate that is able to take advantage.

I know a ton of people that wasted a vote on Hillary and are chomping at the bit to get on team Trump.

The forgotten-about Obama voter who switched to Trump as a change from the status quo is pretty easy to understand.

A Hillary voter who now identifies with Trump? Pretty hard sell, conceptually. Gonna call BS.

Agree.

Could that vote have been more anti-(at the time) trump and less pro-hillary? a swap after seeing some things isn't TOO out of the question.

Theoretically, of course it’s possible.

BS on AP knowing tons of such cases.

Some context:

2012:
Obama 65,915,795
Romney 60,933,504

2016:
Clinton 65,853,514
Trump 62,984,828

Florida:
Obama 4,237,756
Romney 4,163,447
Clinton 4,504,975
Trump 4,617,886

Michigan:
Obama 2,564,569
Romney 2,115,256
Clinton 2,268,839
Trump 2,279,543

Ohio:
Obama 2,827,709
Romney 2,661,437
Clinton 2,394,164
Trump 2,841,005

Pennsylvania:
Obama 2,990,274
Romney 2,680,434
Clinton 2,926,441
Trump 2,970,733

Wisconsin
Obama 1,620,985
Romney 1,407,966
Clinton 1,382,536
Trump 1,405,284

To me it looks like Trump victory came from getting out the vote in Florida and Pennsylvania, Clinton failing miserably in Ohio and Wisconsin, and switchers in Michigan.

I’ll go ahead and make a prediction. You heard it here first folks. Whoever the libs put up against trump, doesn’t matter who it is, they’ll be favored by a good margin. All this anecdotal mumbo jumbo is mumbo jumbo. I know multiple people who voted for Trump and can't wait to vote for him again.

That is shocking news!

 

[SMemmett]

Sounds like everybody’s running with different crowds on this board.

I’ve got running buddies in all these crowds.

I have no idea what’s going to happen.
