michigan. but wisconsin is key. you cannot win the white house electorally without going through a blue or purple state. we have a migration issue in our party. red voters are going to red states. 300,000 moved to florida last year to texas. which means we are leaving blue and purple states. the pat electorally to the white house runs through the midwest and wisconsin, i think, is going to be key to us winning the white house. bret: i find it interesting. i want to play a piece of this political ad, bank your vote. you could bank your vote by casting your ballot before election day either early, in person, or by mail. go to bank your vote.com to sign up and commit to voting early. that s how we are going it beat the democrats at their own game. bret: i mean, that s a big change for you all. it s not a big change for the rnc but it is something. bret: the party? the rnc is all about banking votes early. but we need to educate our voters. post pandemic, we had a lot of vote
i know the early voeing numbers, people had been voting for several days. this is a place where that quote you played from trump is born out a little bit. in the purple here, you have got 2018 versus 2014. everywhere you have look at this number in texas. you are talking about more than three million early votes. yes, across the vote early voting is higher. that tends to be good for democrats. the thing to remember is early voting, these are people banking votes. these are votes that are already cast before election day. the question is which party turns out better on election day. republicans have been better at election day turn out and democrats better at early voting. early voting is up should benefit democrats. trump was never going to get elected president and look where we are. take it with a grain of salt, but certainly up from 2014. good analysis as usual. u.s. stocks are down sharply surprisingly after the jobs
early vote and what you end up doing is banking votes. people who you might not know or 100% slam dunk people but the people to see president obama speak. you go bank those and then work on the people who haven t voted yet and this was the model the obama campaign used in 2012 and the clinton campaign also used to their advantage in the primaries against bernie sanders. let me pick up on that point with you. you talked about the fact the clinton campaign studied what the obama campaign did closely. they definitely have and they ve done it well. they ve organized themselves. the problem is trump has gone with the rally strategy, which is great for media. but it isn t great for voting. and so you have to give a 1 or 2 point advantage to hillary clinton at the end of the day because she s done the homework. mark, one of the caveats is that just because you have more republicans affiliated voters in one state or more, democrats, doesn t necessarily mean they re voting for trump or cl
already election day. early voting starts today! today! she then went on to actually a marching band led the crowd down the street to the polling station, which is sort of amazing. so they are banking votes. and i think maybe that s giving them a sense of confidence despite the president s lackluster debate performance, that they ve already locked in some of the lead that they ve enjoyed. no, that s interesting. a personal editorial comment here. i m all for making it easy to vote. this early voting thing, it s gotten out of control. make it a little tighter closer to the election. what? i don t want people voting before the debates are held. i m with steve. i thought you were being sarcastic, steve? how are you for expanding the franchise? i m all for it but i think we can do it in a way that you know, let s have these debates, then let s have people voting. they can still vote early. but there are so few people
