Trump bets his presidency on a ‘silent majority’

With his law-and-order, tough-on-protesters rhetoric, Donald Trump is courting a suburban vote that might no longer exist.

Using lists from its campaign events alone, the Trump campaign said earlier this year that it had identified more than 1.4 million potential voters, including thousands of people across the country who did not vote in recent elections. The Trump campaign, with its trove of voter and consumer data, is already targeting messages to potential voters nationally around local issues.

“The scary thing is what they’re doing, which is quite sophisticated,” said Ken Martin, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, as Democrats are known in Minnesota. “What they’ve been doing is going after white, non-college educated males and trying to register them to vote.”

One Democratic strategist who reviewed the Trump campaign’s mobile app recently gawked at the technology’s potential to identify voters.

“I just don’t see how we do it,” the strategist said of the prospect that Biden could match Trump’s turnout operation, given “the money, the app, the targeting” on the Republican side.

Martin said the party’s polling in Minnesota shows moderate Republicans and independent voters moving away from Trump. Still, he said, “You can’t underestimate Trump’s campaign … This is going to be close.”

A Minnesota poll taken before the Floyd protests appeared to confirm as much. In October, Trump was lagging Biden by 12 percentage points in Minnesota. But after surviving an impeachment trial and the opening stages of a pandemic — and after Democrats settled on a nominee — Trump most recently was down just 5 percentage points. In a state that hasn’t gone for a Republican for president in nearly a half-century, Trump had cut his deficit by more than half.


“He’s pulled his base back together,” said Mason Dixon’s Brad Coker, who conducted the Star Tribune/MPR News/KARE 11 poll. “Not just in Minnesota, but probably in some other places.”


Bill McCoshen, a Republican strategist based in Madison, Wisconsin, one of several cities where a police car was set ablaze during the past week, said “suburban women are strong on law and order. It could realign their priorities.”

Jip. I'm sure you do. I'm also sure that most people watch Hollywood movie and understand there is a giant security team around the President that makes these kind of choices.
I'm also sure many Americans in deep blue cities are experiencing the chaos a d destruction for themselves, so they understand the risk.
