My focus group last night was lit, as the children say.

First up: I asked participants for 1 word to describe the news media. (“Emissaries of Satan” counts as 1 phrase.)
“Fox has become one of them.”

My focus group of Trump voters now considers Fox News no different from the “hard left” media.
I asked my group why 60+ courts had ruled against Trump’s election challenges over the past two months if there is “so much evidence.”

Attorney @Manny_Alicandro was the vocal dissent in the group.
Only 2 of 18 group members said they wouldn’t vote for Donald Trump today, based on his conduct over the past two months.

All of them voted for Trump on November 3, 2020.
My focus group advised @Reince on how the Republican Party should proceed for the future.

There was debate throughout the night between “expelling the RINOs” versus supporting “the most conservative candidate who can win in each district.”
I asked my focus group of Trump voters what scares them most about the coming year. (With a Democratic presidency, House, and Senate)

I asked 800 Trump voters about the 2020 election.

• 78% agree with Trump’s claims that it was “stolen.”

• 67% believe if you count the votes “accurately and fairly,” Trump would win.

Respondents were weighted to reflect the Trump electorate by age, gender, ethnicity and edu. Image

I was critical of Democrats in 2016 for whining after Trump’s win.

I am critical today of Republicans for whining after Trump’s defeat.
If you opposed Democratic ugliness in 2016, you need to oppose Republican ugliness today.
As @JakeTapper just mentioned:
The President could stop this with just one tweet, but he’s choosing not to.

Both Loeffler and Perdue can win tomorrow’s #Georgia Senate runoffs.

But it’ll require good GOP turnout and minimal meddling from Lin Wood.
Right now in #Georgia, there are election signs everywhere – I’m seeing about 10 Democratic signs for every GOP sign.

Of course, as we saw in November, signs don’t vote. Image
It’s like New Hampshire down here. #Georgia Image

There are 40,000 people arriving in Dubai for their annual @GITEXTechWeek technology conference.

Dubai is becoming the Silicon Valley of the Middle East — except it’s live and in-person.
For the first time at #GITEX2020, Israel is welcome.

I hear Hebrew spoken throughout all the hotels, talking about clean energy, food security, ending poverty. Israelis and Arabs sitting together, working together, solving problems together.

It’s the sound of peace. Image
Israeli companies appearing at Dubai’s #GITEX2020 for the first time ever.

The governments may have had their differences in the past, but the people here are talking like old friends. It’s all so joyful. ImageImageImage

I’m back in Pennsylvania. This time for a Kamala Harris rally in Philadelphia.

One carload of people I interviewed were pleasantly surprised to learn that @JohnLegend will be performing tonight.
These drive-thru interviews are much easier to do now that I’m no longer fat.

The people in this Jeep said they support Joe Biden “because he will unite the country and is prepared to not work with only Democrats.”
First car was full of Elizabeth Warren primary voters who now say they’re enthusiastic to vote for anyone who gets Trump out of office.

Second car included a 13-year-old with a simple message: “We need more love, less hate.”
