Well — he says in his lifetime, he’s never once seen a seismic demographic shift like this — not in 30 elapsed days. [Mr. Obama in 2008 evinced a similar shift, but he led the race almost wire to wire.]
No — this is… uncharted territory, for the guru revered by the GOP — for at least the last five election cycles. He believes the most jaw-dropping shift is among women. Women who previously voted reliably GOP. That is mostly suburban whyte women. They intend to vote a woman for their next president — because they are disgusted by Tangerine.
We watched it happen, over the last four New Years’ long holidays in sunny Arizona — lawn signs for MAGA pulled down. People who’ve voted GOP all their adult lives, now see Kamala as a way out of the darkness that surrounds the entire Trump family — and “legacy vote”.
Here are the quotes — if you’d like to see ’em, oh you Powerline boys:
…“She’s got intensity now. She’s got an intensity advantage. She’s got a demographic advantage and I haven’t seen anything like this happen in 30 days in my lifetime,” he said. “Now my groups are broken up by young women saying, ‘I’m not voting for him anymore.’”
He added: “The people who are undecided have all collapsed towards Harris. The people who are ‘weak’ Trump have all collapsed towards undecided….”
“She’s bringing out people who are not interested in voting for either Trump or Biden, so the entire electoral pool has changed and if it continues in this direction you have to start to consider Democrats winning the Senate and Democrats winning the House,” Luntz said Wednesday on CNBC….
Read it, and weep, Powerline boys — this is what nine years of backing a crook and misogynist brings you — reap the whirlwind… now.
Out — on to the convention and a new 5 point bump nationwide next week.
