Right_in_Virginia...I do not disagree with what you just said.
But he knew before he was POTUS the opposition he faced going into office. He knew what he would be up against. Because of his life experience, I thought he would be more knowledgeable about dealing with folks and motivating them to accomplish things.
And I believed his rhetoric. I worked tirelessly to get him elected in 2016. I guess I felt betrayed when he increased the H1-b Visa Program. Through my years before all that nonsense started, I worked with many good folks in systems, almost all replaced with folks from India.
I spent many years in the general management consulting industry, which was destroyed by Obama in 30 days time after getting elected in 2008. It has never returned. There was a time I could make 2 phone calls and have a choice of projects to go work on the following week. Of the roughly 50 folks I know in the business, who if they called, I would recognize their voice like an old friend, maybe at any given time 5 were working during the Obama years. If the consulting industry is dead, so too is commerce in the USA. Obama did that. He built that. Things were slowly, like the movement of a snail, coming back under Trump. With Biden, they will get worse than they were with Obama.
You know RiV, I am mad at Trump because he was utterly brilliant in 2016. He defined the issues, and this time I did not see that. He did not define what he intended to do for the American people over the coming four years. And his opponent did not even campaign or come out of his basement. Virtually not at all. There was no way Biden could ever compete against Trump, and yet Biden won. He may have cheated to win, but he won. Had Trump followed his same formula for defining what he would do for the American people in the next four years, I think it would have been no contest.
I asked four black females in their 20s, all getting higher level degrees in school what they knew Trump accomplished for black people in the USA since being POTUS, and not a one of them could think of a single thing. NOT ONE!!! They all voted for Biden. And when I asked them to name one thing Biden accomplished, they were again speechless.
Leo Terrell flipped from being a strong Democrat to supporting Donald Trump. Trump needed to find folks to take his message as ambassadors to others in the country, and he never saw the need for a ground game. He narrowly squeaked by in 2016. The Electoral College count was not reflective of how close the election was. The difference in votes in the battleground states was indeed reflective of how close the election was. I think Trump took 2020 for granted. I know he thought there was no way a man hiding in his basement could defeat him. He should have had a touch of paranoia versus his over supply of ego.
