Jen Rubin on Trump failing to generate new voters...

There are several takeaways... First, Trump’s “law and order” message has bombed in two states with high-profile violence in recent months. This may have even been part of the reason voters turned away from him.

Second, Trump is no longer relying on White voters generally; he’s down to White men without college degrees in many states. That is not a sufficient slice of the electorate to compensate for the voters he has scared off.

Third, thinking back to his town hall on ABC Tuesday night or to the Republican National Convention, it’s hard imagine anything that could stem the tide of voters flowing to Biden. In fact, Trump’s willful ignorance and lying about covid-19, his cavalier attitude toward health care (an issue that generally ranks higher for women than for men), his incitement of violence, and his shoutouts to white nationalists are far more likely to turn off wavering voters than to recapture those he lost.
