Reps are gonna have a turnout issue I think, the lack of 'excitement' at voting for trump.. Again

Means nothing really.
Given how universally hated trump is , noone is really going to own up to voting for him at the first instance. Same as no English would own up for voting ukip but people did.
COVID case numbers are increasing in the midwest and unclear how that is going to impact turnout there for both candidates
I think this was the case in 16 after he mocked the disabled journalist and bragged about sexual assault but I think it might be the opposite now.
Trump supporters are emboldened, but I'd say there are a lot of wives of ardent Trump fans who say they support him publicly just for peace at home but will vote for Biden.
Lots of people seem perfectly willing to say they plan on voting for him at a later date (59% Florida) so saying “no-one“ seems a gross exaggeration.
There is a theory about ”shy Trump voters” though, guess we’ll see.

Like back in December , if I wanted to vote Tory I wouldn't have told anyone I had , I would have lied about it. Just the shame of admitting it given general perspective in Liverpool.
You wouldn't know who people are voting for but especially in certain states, they wouldn't admit to voting the wrong way either.
I wonder if the race will be far closer than imagined because people put too much stock in what people said. I can't see a trump win still but perhaps not as commanding as suggested.
Is there any data on young voters increasing this far? I am expecting to see a significant increase in that front

That is like
that is like the aftermath of Brexit in the UK.
All you heard for 3 years was remain remain remain. To the extent that to someone not paying attention , it seemed like the country wanted to remain in the EU despite the vote.
However they were the minority. The majority just didn't say anything, didn't march , didn't go on about it and when push came to shove, even more voted to leave via the Tory landslide.
For what it's worth I see the difference being more based in younger voters going to polls this time. In a social media culture, there is very much a emphasis to vote for Biden , more so than last time.

Biden will have a commanding lead in the popular vote, nobody is questioning that.
But nobody thinks he has a commanding leaf in the electoral college count which is what matters.
I think there is definitely an upturn in first time voters across the country, most of whom are probably 18-22 year olds.
he's an arse and the system sucks but thanks Mike!

I dunno. I think there's a good chance the Right (and particularly the "establishment" Right) will drop him like a hot, particularly misshapen potato if he loses on Tuesday.
Me too. As far as they are concerned, he is a useful idiot who served his purpose to them. They have a bit of a job distancing themselves from him, but people have short memories, particularly their base.
