My guess is that his base is exactly the same. The polling shows little movement. I think what's causing the distancing by some is that they now - pmb Jun 8, 10:20 11
- I don't agree on the idea of suppressing that vote. I think the laws passed and efforts made show otherwise. -- nm - JackDawson Jun 8, 10:22 10
  - They'll keep trying, but I think people will continue to be motivated. - Dark Callisto Jun 8, 10:23

    - I think the right will redouble voter suppression efforts. Whether it will work or not we shall see ! -- nm - JackDawson Jun 8, 10:25 7

        Also it’s...harder? to suppress vote by mail? -- nm - JackDawson Jun 8, 10:33 4

  - I don't go that far for obvious political philosophy differences. (Plus strategically, too far a swing could result in a quicker/sharper swing back.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 8, 10:23
