About Wisconsin, And How 2020 Is/Isn’t Like 2016

    One thing that Stillwater has pointed out that probably stands to be re-looked at is how Clinton was unlikable to the point where her numbers went down in Michigan after campaigning there. *NOT* campaigning there was a tactic, not an oversight.

    Biden may not be the most likable candidate the Democrats have ever put on the ballot but he is nowhere *NEAR* unlikable. Just going out there and demonstrating that he’s not unlikable might be enough to rebuild the Blue Wall.Report

    538 gives Biden a 78 out of 100 chance of winning Wisconsin. There is a chance Trump gets his margin of error again. Friday fuckery from he Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Greens is trying to make the 22 percent happen. Trump does no have much of a margin of error in many states he needs to win. Things that worked against HRC are not going to work against Biden. Trump is not an outsider this time and he was never popular.Report

      538 gave Hillary an 83.5% chance of winning Wisconsin. She was up by 8 to 12 points in the last polls.

      So in Wisconsin, Biden is doing measurably worse than Hillary – who lost in Wisconsin.Report

    Anecdotally after two weeks in Wisconsin visiting the in-laws (!) – Trump has a hard road ahead of him. Biden is spending a ton of money on advertising, there are Biden-Harris yard signs and billboards all over, and his visit to Kenosha after the President seems to have gone over better with the man in the street then expected. I have relatives there who voted for Trump last time because they are anti-abortion who are proudly and publicly planning to Vote for Biden.Report
