History Repeating Itself

WRAL TV polled, reported: Trump, Biden, Unpopular with North Carolina voters.

One or two days later I read an article by a Politico pundit calling polls like that “illogical yammering” – he said Trump clobbered opponents in the primary and Biden didn’t even get an opponent and that proved Trump and Biden were the candidates voters wanted.

Was he right?

There’re 7.4 million voters in North Carolina – 77% didn’t vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary.  Which left two small tribes who did vote.

Overall, out of all 7.4 million voters, 10.6% voted for Trump, and another 8% voted for Biden, while 77% of the people didn’t go near a polling booth on election day. So those two small tribes ruled primaries. And that left us with a problem. Because their passions about politics are different from the rest of the voters – so the end of the day history repeated itself and we got a rematch most voters don’t want.
