vote for joe biden because donald trump is a threat to the american way of life. but, if i had any excuse to vote against the democrats, i would do it because they are so progressive and so wildly out of step with mainstream america. i am not talking about brooklyn, i understand there are pockets where that progressivism needs to be represented and we need progressiism represented in congress. i am talking about the national party. i have never heard such unrest in all my life against my party as i am against a democratic party because of their policies and how wildly out of step of mainstream america and i am going get killed on twitter today, guess what, guess what? i don t care. twitter is not mainstream
situation that you saw donald trump, why did donald trump lose in 2020? he lost because as ron johnson, your good friend from wisconsin said, he said because there were a lot of republicans who just would not vote for him. there were like 55,000 or 60,000 republicans voted for every other republican candidate and would not vote for donald trump. and so when you have that as a situation in 2020 and you have some of these people breaking off, does donald trump still own the republican party? yes. but that republican party is a lot smaller and a lot less influential and more educated americans and if you look at the polling number, again, i know everybody is scared of donald trump. it just does not seem like the
