1. I love elections and opinions. Facts are good too, but no one ever uses them in polling data.

I’ve been counting the voting blocs that are sure to vote for the Democratic ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz:

1. The Beauty Vote - Beauty counts in politics. Who would you rather look at and listen to, whether on Fox or MSNBC, for the next four years?
2. The Economy Vote - Our growing economy beats what Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump left us four years ago.
3. The Women’s Vote - No contest.
4. The Reproductive Rights Vote - Including many men and business interests.
5. The Youth Vote - Harris is 59 years old with Swifties on her side.
6. The Climate Vote - the approach of Harris/President Joe Biden vs. Trump’s: no contest.
7. The Immigrant Vote - Harris is more for immigration than any previous presidential candidate.
8. The Minority Vote - Black, Brown, Asian - broader reach than former President Barack Obama.
9. The Democracy Vote - For all who see Trump as a threat to deny the Constitution and fair election results.
10. The Veterans Vote - Trump has handed her this one.
11. The Republicans Who Don’t Trust Trump Vote.
That’s a lot of people, if they all vote.
