Without you, Sundance, and "Fleporblog" aka Baba97 I would have lost my mind in 15 and 16' I knew in my gut he'd win, everyone thought I was nuts, and I called it the "Rust Belt Rebellion". A chance meeting, that had info about what a certain segment of MI workers ( and I will leave it at that ) was the icing on the cake, those numbers didn't lie, and I knew he'd take MI. I shared that privately with some folks here :-). You reinforced what our gut was telling us with empirical data.
I had a cadre of people on FB & Private emails updating them w/ your insights and the other 2 gents, something like 57 people. on 11/9/16 I got 3 phone calls, 3 text/emails thanking me for keeping their moral up, because in all honesty I think some might have not gone to the polls, the gaslighting was that strong. Those thanks go to you all as well.
I kinda missed Mrs Zito during that time, I may have seen her once, since I had sworn of CNN. Her interviews via podcast with John Batchelor are a must listen too.
FWIW, I'd love to have coffee with you and Ms Zito, that would be a bucket list item for sure, to discuss all of this, until then, I need to get her book!
Thanks. I think one thing that really stands out in this book is how many of these Trump supporters are “out there” and who are not even being talked to by anyone in the media. Again, one little town isn’t important, but all the little towns taken together swung PA, MI, and WI, and expanded the leads in IA and OH.
