The writer Emily Ekins, is libertarian and was once with the Cato Institute. She is the definition of anti Trump. Now I get some libertarians support Trump. But Emily sounds like the writers at her former publication Reason.
Ignorant of history when Reagan was swept into the WH. Due to health reasons unable to vote and did not follow the polls prior to the vote. Just knew that Carter was failing the country unmercifully. At that time, as others have noted, there was not a run toward ‘free stuff’ as there is at this time. It was not until BO’B was reelected the ‘free stuff’ factor appeared in all its glory on the full screen.
The fact TRUMP generates enthusiasm and change among the voters is to be seen as a plus. The fact Crooked Hillery is meeting with indifference and antipathy among her voters is a plus as well.
Polls are biased/manipulated and though seen on a day to day basis not given much credence.
