Key Insights

Why do you say that Trump is winning moderates?

The undecided voter in some background states feels the country has been going in the wrong direction, hasn't benefited in the last four years, and remembers the positive aspects of Trump's presidency. They compare his record versus Biden's and find Trump stronger on issues like the economy, border security, and global safety.

Why is the Hispanic community favoring Trump?

Hispanic communities are suffering the most from illegal immigration, crime, and the impact of illegals in their communities. They see cultural values, family values, and school issues as better aligned with Trump's policies.

Why is Kamala Harris's campaign focusing on fear?

Harris's campaign is focusing on fear because the undecided voters left in the race are not convinced by her on economic issues. She is trying to peel off soft Trump votes or people who dislike Trump but are not for her by portraying him as unhinged and unstable.

Why do elitist Democrats hate Trump's working-class party?

Elitist Democrats hate Trump's working-class party because it represents a shift from the coastal elite focus of the Republican party to a more middle-American, working-class focus. This change in the party's composition and principles is not in line with the established ways of the Republican party they were part of.

If Trump wins, why will the left never accept the results?

The left will never accept the results if Trump wins because they have a history of contesting election outcomes, as seen with Hillary Clinton still contesting the 2016 election. They will likely use tactics similar to January 6th to challenge the legitimacy of Trump's victory.

How will Trump prevent WWIII?

Trump will prevent WWIII by knowing world leaders personally, being respected as a strong leader, and having a clear line in the sand for negotiations. He will engage directly with adversaries like Putin and Kim Jong-un, ensuring they understand his resolve and the consequences of crossing certain boundaries.

What would a Ukraine-Russia peace deal look like under Trump?

A peace deal under Trump would likely involve Crimea remaining part of Russia, eastern Ukraine having some form of autonomy within Ukraine, and concessions that save face for Putin while providing reconstruction funds for Ukraine. Trump would personally inject himself into the negotiations to ensure all parties come to the table seriously.
