I will not rest until every pundit who cites Trump’s connection with the white working-class acknowledges that he won fewer votes in Wisconsin than Mitt Romney did.

When folks ask me what surprise Trump might have in store November 3rd... I don’t cite party registration or yard signs. I think of all the Gary Johnson voters who’ve told me they’re coming home and voting straight R tickets this fall.

I don’t either. But other than the fact it looks nothing like 2016, I guess your take is right. politico.com/news/magazine/… twitter.com/redsteeze/stat…
Folks I think @TimAlberta is ever-so-subtly trying to tell us who he thinks is gonna win a week from today.
From @TimAlberta: “from my own reporting, it’s been nearly impossible to find the fabled ‘shy Trump voter’ we heard so much about four years ago.” I agree. Very few people in America are shy about anything anymore. Sadly.
.@TimAlberta: All of us—Republicans and Democrats, journalists and party operatives, political junkies and casual observers—are held hostage by memories of four Novembers ago. The bad news for Trump supporters: #2020 is nothing like 2016.
A great read. 16 reasons why 2020 is nothing like 2016.

Glad to see this from @TimAlberta. He makes a lot of points I've been cautiously throwing out to listeners in the past month for why they can't use 2016 as a template for 2020.
