On the Iowa family video...
Fascinating, and really a key reason why Trump lagged in polls first time around and will lag again until election night.
Basically, Trump is off-putting, can be mean, and really isn't a true McCain/Bush type of conservative.
A conservative family hesitant to say they would vote for or even consider Trump. He's an ass, rough talking, not Presidential in the traditional sense. However, there isn't a dem candidate that remotely fits their conservative values.
"Border, rule of law..." is something that is very important to them. One candidate, party and platform are even remotely close to what they are looking for with those.
Dad, sums up the blue-collar, white, conservative, more than likely lifelong registered (D) that turned sour on dem/libs during Obama years. You had to twist his arm to say he voted for an (R)/Trump. He probably didn't want to, but at the end of the day, he got past the aesthetics of the candidate and partisanship of voting (D) just because.
Mom...there's that female demographic the media likes to talk about. They didn't vote for Trump, why? Well, basically he's an ass.
Daughter. Gen-Z in a nutshell. You could tell the ole girl was very conscientious of how this clip would play with her peers and on social media. Again, female sensibilities very apparent in that she just can't get past the bully aspect of Trump. In a moment of real honesty though, she draws the line at Warren and Bernie because they're too far left.
You can tell Mom is stubborn as an old goat, so she'll write in McCain again just to spite Trump. Lib party doesn't really line up with her beliefs, but by god she's not voting for Trump because he's a p***y grabbing a**hole. Can really tell she's bought into everything the media has sold in terms of optics...but not their politics...
Dad, more sensible. Clearly not a Trump fan, but reasonable enough to understand a vote for Trump isn't just a vote for Trump the a**hole but it's a vote for a lot of the values he holds.
Daughter, wildcard. Clearly her mother's daughter, aware of her peers, social media, etc, but also clearly has a limit as to how far left she's interested in going.
I would like to see some interviews with black folks and Hispanics. Very interested in what they're thinking and why. A lot of signs pointing to a percentage or two maybe dabbling on the right this go around which would be a huge change in the winds.
