Making My Statement

[NYShoreGuy]

Donald Trump is going to be the 47th president. I personally have not been a fan, and would not advocate for the types of candidates nominated for the office in the last three election cycles for both tickets. I would rather see a younger generation with fresh ideas for the country's movement and evolution.

I do believe it is a difficult path for a female to become president in the United States. I do believe the Biden presidency implemented good paths for infrastructure upgrade that the country very much needs. I feel regardless of who was in charge, the rise out of a Post Covid world would have had challanges.

Specific to this election cycle. I felt it would be tough for the Dems to hold the Senate. I felt the House could flip.

It would have been best for Biden to graciously announce past the SOTU in 2023 that he would not seek a 2nd term and retire from public service on Jan 20, 2025. I feel clearly inside people wanted to remain where they were and that was a root cause to what happened in the last 4 months. Had Biden moved aside then, there would have been a natural, organic path for a DEM nominee that may have not been Harris.

The metrics in what I have seen returned here do not look good for the DEMs. They are growing away from non college educated crowd and Latin and African American. They clearly struggle with independent voters. Also from what I see so far, seems like less votes will be casted for the presidential race overall than in 2020.

NC and Arizona numbers are interesting. Trump to carry the states, but in NC there will be a new gov, AG that are DEM. Arizona a DEM will take a Senate seat.

I do have concerns about a 2nd trump administration and what that looks like and who is a part of that.

Small little tidbit, with Josh Stein winning NC there are now 3 Josh's that are Jews who are Democrat govenors of states.

I feel the DEMs can hit a reset and figure out grassroots and target House races at the midterms. They won't be touching the Senate in 26 races. It is now set up for a MAGA JD Vance vs a hopefully cutting edge DEM candidate with executive experience at the state level.

Barring some type of self destruction the MAGA and Trump brand in the GOP is there to stay.

Individually, am I ultimately impacted by this presidential result? No

I do feel the general voting public continues to be conned.

I will you all peace and harmony.

That may be the most thoughtful post you've ever made here, and I mean that sincerely.

One thing under the "duh" category is the Dems moved away from the working class a long time ago. My parents and grandparents were all NY working-class Democrats from the early 1900s up until the last 40 years. People of color is a newer phenomenon, but they have started to doubt, rightly, the sincerity of the Democrats who claim to represent them.

None of this is surprising. "New money" and celebrities are all liberals.

I would disagree with celebs being all in on being liberal...perhaps more celebrities show being liberal while others are silent conservatives.

Hopefully Dems will knock off the Nazi and end of Democracy talk.When you have a dem governor named Kathy ( I am really stupid )
Hochul saying it is anti American to vote for Trump and I have a 34% approval rating in New York so you know I know what I am talking about.

Republicans paid more attention to political ads than Democrats during the months of September and October, according to TVision. They also paid more attention, in general, to all TV ads. Additional findings include:
· Independent Females increased their attention to political ads, compared to the attention they paid to all other ads.
· The youngest Democrat viewers (18-34) and middle-aged Republican viewers (45-54) paid significantly more attention to political ads than other ads in the time period.
Young Independent TV viewers were unlikely to engage with any type of TV ad, but especially with political ads in the time period.

The seven major election swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin collectively saw over $1.8 billion in ad spending since Super Tuesday, according to a new report from AdImpact. Pennsylvania saw the highest overall spending, with Democrats airing $261.9 million in ads and Republicans airing $232.4 million. Additional findings include:
· In the past 60 days, there has been $1.05 billion in linear ad spending, with Democrats spending $592 million and Republicans spending $457 million.
· Since entering the race, the Harris campaign spent $646.3 million, making them the highest-spending advertiser in the Presidential race and for the entire 2024 political cycle. The Trump campaign spent $358.8 million.
· Since July 22, digital spending has seen about $419 million, making up 17% of total Presidential spending.

Hopefully Trump doesn't give anyone a reason to talk about any of that. His own words brought on those criticisms so it's on him to prove that they're unfounded.

Hopefully groups of people don't look to talk about it. However the reason to talk about it is because the networks make money on division. They'll twist anything they can because whether they love him or not Trump is the best thing to happen to their ratings.

No doubt the media companies will be lining their pockets from him. Trump loves to talk, probably too much for is own good, and that will certainly give them plenty to talk about.

Yeah but making something out of nothing isn't good. It's more divisive. The Puerto Rican joke was a nothing (not to mention not even said by Trump) that the easily offended crowd jumped on. I'm part Polish and if I cried every time I heard a Polish joke or insult on that level I'd have been crying my whole childhood instead of hanging out, playing sports and making friends.(who I could make fun of back). To top it off if you go by CNN reviewing some highly Puerto Rican counties Trump won them. Some of them even flipped from Biden. So who was insulted, rich white people who don't know how to laugh at themselves? Or rich white people who don't joke and have never told a good or bad joke?

Looks like Trump will end up with the same number of votes in 2024 as 2020.

Maybe it was rigged and there were a lot duplicate ballots in 2020 for the democratic candidate LOL

That was too easy to not pass up.

I live in one of those PA counties that has a large Hispanic population that voted for Trump this time around versus Biden. (Northampton).

One thing to recognize is that demographic is typically more religious and hammering the abortion theme nonstop may have had a negative effect.
