[AGL] election talk

[Carolyn]

About Trump and steroids I was given a fairly strong steroid aft a procedure ad told to straight home and to bed. I didn't I felt energetic and when getting home proceeding to clears weeds and other underbrush, I felt I had super human energy even tho it was about 9‎0 degrees, I had trouble settling down and sleeping for 4 days following. When I saw he had rushed out to the balcony and ripping off his mask in such a theatrical flourish I told John he has gone cuckoo.
    Like you I feel Trump has strong appeal to groups and I am not confdent his losing the vote.
     Cute cartoon floating around Internet.   Show picture of the White House and on top of the page is the sign ' ONE FLU OVER THE CUCKOO NEST".

Here’s an anecdote. My mother (1898-1979) taught 1-6 grades in a NYC 
Bored of Education school for 39 years. She told me that in the first 
grades, her black students were just as promising as the non-blacks but 
that the black kids turned off that track somewhere around the age of 7 
or 8. She retired around 1960.

The anecdote implies that it is the social culture of blacks that is a 
great part of their and our problem. What is the accomodation the rest 
of the country is duty-bound to make? I remember Martha Hartzog getting 
a gig in a Fed. program to subscribe black families to magazines way 
back in the ’70s. The talented tenth of W.B.Dubois has become the 30% of 
high functioning black citizens. In principle, Trump should get >25% of 
the black vote, >35% of the Hispanic vote. The Trafalgar Group polling – 
they correctly predicted 2016 – has Trump losing Pennsylvania and 
Wisconsin but winning Michigan and Minnesota. Their latest published 
poll of Ohio (Oct. 1 to 3) has Trump comfortably over Biden.

They used to say ‘as Ohio goes, so goes the nation.’ Is Ohio still 
considered a bellwether?
