Let’s step back a few people and look at the map….
And look at the travel’s of Air Force One so far and scheduled for the next 60 days….
Donald Trump HAS been in Virginia (Golfing), South Dakota, Florida, Maryland, Georgia , North Carolina, and Texas in July….
Trump visited Virgina (Golfing), Ohio, Minnesota, Iowa, Arizona, Pennsylvania, North Carolina Maryland, New Hampshire , Louisiana and Texas….

Except for the golfing?
Donald Trump IS replicating his successful strategy of visiting the swing states that he took to lose the popular vote but win the Presidency ….
Very few people have connected the dots….

(Biden travels in a Gulfstream business jet that holds few people and attracts little media or people)
Joe Biden has ventured out to Pittsburgh and will be going to Kenosha, two cities in swing states…Harris has been sorta invisible…Mike Pence has not…
But it seem that his people move to get their candidate up and round to the swing states also…Some polls already show the expected tighter numbers as we get closer to Election Day ….
We wouldn’t want Joe Biden & Co. to repeat the Hillary Clinton mistake of letting the election popular vote hide the slipping away of the very states that you need to win to actually get the job of President….
