Nate Cohn: In the Trump era, Democrats have seemed to excel among the highly engaged, highly educated voters who predominate in low-turnout, off-year elections, only to struggle when more irregular and less educated voters flock to the polls in presidential years.
But on Tuesday, when Democrats won the Virginia and New Jersey governors races by wide margins, it wasnt simply because more Democratic-leaning voters showed up to the polls while more Republican-leaning voters sat out. The Democratic candidates also succeeded at winning over a modest but meaningful sliver of President Trumps supporters, based on exit polls and authoritative voter file records.

Given how damaging and horrendous Trump is, should be way more than a sliver of the cult wising up.

I would take it as a win if they would just stay the hell home on election day.

Some of them are now begining to find out what they voted for him to do to the woke libs he's doing to them and theirs.

I don't know if they are able to grasp it however.
Many of them have to much ego involved to admit they were bamboozled by a New York conman, but there are also those realistic enough to recognize their mistakes.

Keeping fingers crossed.

it seems that more and more Americans are pulling away from the Criminal in Chief and this has him and his super loyal followers in a snit.
I'm loving it.
