Results reflect how party is everything, perhaps more than ever. Inn countywide races here in Salt Lake County, Democrats have swept, except for our friend, Wayne Cushing, who might by a nip be re-elected treasurer. I never even heard of his opponent during the campaign. County mayor? Trent Staggs, the Republican, seemed to have way out-spent the incumbent Democrat, Jenny Wilson. (I'll have to look up the campaign spending). I thought for sure he would win. But, no, Jenny handily won re-election.
I think our nation is more divided by party than ever before. Take Trump. Nothing has changed in four years, not as far as public opinion, that is. For a large part, those who were for Trump have never wavered. Nothing will change them. Those against him, the same. They were against him in 2016, and nothing has changed their minds. If Biden does win, it won't be by much. The results already show that state-after-state that the for Trump in 2016, went Trump, again. Mostly all the same states. Impeachment, pandemic, riots . . . all the upheaval does not change the course of the people in their politics.
