Describe a Obama 12, Hillary 16, Trump 20 voter

[morgankingsley]

There has to be at least one out there (or will be after november)

I would say probably just a 18 year old voter in 2012 who had liberal parents and they did what their parents did by default, then in 16 fell for the idea of trump being this anti Christ, but moved out by 2020 and moved to a more conservative environment and adapted their views naturally to fit that and actually felt he was a decent president

An idiot

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

A tankie.

[President Biden Democrat]

Obviously this does exist but there are very few of these voters. Most of these voters that exist are probably people who are not politically active/engaged. I can't imagine there are many of these voters out there.

A Minnesota former democrat finally flipping to R.

Jeff Van Drew maybe?

[The Mikado]

Jeff Van Drew maybe?

I think we have our answer.

This would probably the election to do it

This voter doesn't exist. Only like 8% of voters under 30 identify Republican, problem is they don't hardly vote.

I would say the actual voter you are thinking of is hippy dippies who smoke weed and watch too much Youtube and have now been duped into the Qanon conspiracy, AKA my adult sister. Except she voted for Jill Stein instead of Hillary. Lately she's been dropping nut job lines like "maybe Covid is a Democratic hoax."

Probably a fair number of white working class voters who are relatively conservative but pro-union who didn't jump ship last time. Look at how far to the left the Democrat party as a whole has shifted in the last four years. I'd imagine these voters will be older, largely male, under-educated, and living in rural/suburban areas of the Midwest.  I expect the rioting in Minnesota will change a few minds, too.

I've mentioned this before iirc but Hillary Clinton still got respectable numbers in some smaller towns in the Rust Belt. Take Jim Thorpe, PA where she won 40%. Or Clayton, WI where she got nearly 50%. There's still room to sink in theory--demographically, you'd look at these places and assume they're perfect territory for Trump.

That said, Biden is a far better candidate than Clinton, so it might not show up in the trends. But I'm sure a few voters in these places will end up making this jump to the GOP, even if their numbers are offset.

Isn't this like the third different thread asking this same thing?

Might as well get used to it.  If you're expecting threads that are completely original day-in-and-day-out, you're going to be disappointed.

Yeah but like why not using the old thread until it runs out of space???

Threads might be old and out of momentum, people don't take the time to scour through old threads to see if their query has already been asked, etc. etc.

I've noticed that you have little patience for repeat and/or "ridiculous" threads.  That's fine -- we probably don't need ten threads across five days about how Florida will vote in 2020.  But all I'm saying is that you'll have a much better time here if you just learn to ignore them or report them if they're egregiously breaking the site's rules.

Thanks for the advice.

Because I simply didn't see them on this board. And I personally thought it was a valid question. I mean, I didn't really think anybody was going to actually care I asked a random question that I never saw on this board (if it appeared in other boards, fine, but that's irrelevant to the discussion, and I wanted this boards response anyways) the truth of the matter is that when there is a topic you aren't a fan of, its best to ignore it. Besides this was made nearly a week ago so it may be older than some of these other ones you speak of, and if it isn't, again it's irrelevant because it wasn't on this board
