(
ThyBlackMan.com) Donald Trump did not lose the election because he ran a bad campaign. On the contrary, he ran a prototypical one, that produced tremendous turnout on election day. President Trump maintained the voter enthusiasm that has come to define his political career, as evidenced by his ability to fill stadiums and market merchandise.
Donald Trump lost, however, because enthusiasm mattered little in this unique election.
In an election where voting early and by mail was the norm, the effect of voter and base enthusiasm was diminished, because it simply does not take much enthusiasm to drop a ballot in the mail. It is for that reason that the president lost despite turning out record numbers on election day. Indeed, many, if not most, of Joe Biden’s supporters voted in a non-traditional manner.
