President Trump

The Electoral College should represent everyone equally, regardless of where they live. A vote in coastal areas carries less weight than a vote in rural America. Fair? No.
California has a lot more electoral votes than Wyoming, Kansas, etc. But the electoral college does give small population States a voice. If you take them for granted you might lose.

What if the Democratic candidate is a worse candidate than Hillary was?
What if the booming Trump economy isn’t being felt by farmers, coal miners, and auto workers?

It won’t take millions of them to flip three states from red to blue.

Seems like a pretty optimistic scenario. Most people in the swing states Hillary lost are probably doing as well or better now than they were in 2016.

That’s a pretty optimistic idea.

Between trade policies and horrific flooding this spring, farmers have had it rough.

And I’d be willing to suggest that some of those folks professing outward faith in the president, might just not have their vote represent the same. Because those bailout checks to farmers don’t even come close to covering cost.

And when will the tariffs end? According to the president, they probably won’t and will be more after the 2020 election.

How many farmers can afford that gamble for another four years?

Farmers in red states are going to swing the election in favor of the Democratic candidate?
