PollerCoaster 2020: How to Win Wisconsin

https://crooked.com/articles/pollercoaster-2020-wisconsin/

I thought the latest episode of Pod Save America was pretty interesting. They did some polling in Wisconsin to test which messages work most effectively against Trump.

"our poll also indicates that there is a wealth of negative information about Trump that causes Wisconsin voters to say that they’re significantly less likely to vote for him. On top of that, Trump’s erratic behavior, constant lying, and checkered past make voters more likely to believe negative information about him than a typical incumbent.

Democrats can thus make gains by:

1. Eroding Trump’s strength on the economy;

2. Hitting him on Medicare cuts;

3. Hitting him on his failure to drain the swamp."

Dan Pfeiffer's article at the link gives highlights and, of course, the podcast is on itunes, Stitcher, etc.

I was disappointed as to how much support Trump still has in Wisconsin. The race is close
enough to steal. It will be a pivot point for Trump and the Russians again. This podcast
literally gave me a nightmare last night.

We need to get organized now. They recommend volunteering if you live in the state
or nearby. The rest of us need to start donating to the Dems in Wisconsin to register
more voters and start targeting social media NOW! They recommend donating to
Priorities USA who targeting Wisconsin. Time is of the essence!

Unless you want Trump to win, or don't care if he wins, then get out and vote for the Democratic candidate for president.
No excuses, no pouting or perfection or purity tests. Just vote for the Democratic nominee because come election day, that's the only thing remaining that you can do.
Had that happened in 2016, Trump would have lost Wisconsin.
