This time, i am voting FOR Trump.That's a good point and I imagine you are right. Its really a matter of turnout. The question this go 'round is:
1) We know that the Trump base is fervent and will be there. But some significant portion of his voting block in '16 showed up to vote AGAINST Clinton, not so much FOR Trump. So if the Dems nominate Biden, and not someone as polarizing as HRC, it is reasonable to expect that some part of that group of anti-HRC voters will simply not show up.
2) HRC did particularly poorly with black voters in terms of turnout, at least relative to Obama. That's why I think Biden picks Harris to be his VP. A black woman VP, but one who is pro law enforcement and not threatening to that group in # 1 above.

That is a nice sum for Trump but it does include money that went to joint fund-raising operations with the Republican National Committee. The Democratic National Committee hasn't begun fund-raising for one specific candidate as of yet... and won't until the primary season is over. So, that is a little misleading.
From all the contributing factors I've read about it was a perfect storm waiting to happen. My family on both sides survived it pretty well because of their jobs, the railroad. Credit standards loosened, over extension of non credit worthy sources, over production of agriculture, Fed protecting the gold standard, then tightening of credit forcing payoffs, Fed raising rates, very little regulation in place on banks, loss of faith in banks, unemployment rocketed, consumer spending halted.... Perfect storm after the roaring 20's.Are you talking about The Great Depression? It was a close call, wasn't it?
Which post?Hey! You're back. Can we pick up where we left off this morning?
I don't know if I am missing something in your reply since it is in quotes. Also, don't know how this answers my question is there anything else you would like offer as an offset to the expanded spending on social programs.
By the way, I applaud a huge reduction in the military budget in principle.
