This year, Jon Wright thinks he knows which way those swing voters are gonna swing:

One of the things I’ve kept with me are words from my dad — who politically, as essentially a moderate Lamar! / Bredesen supporter is certainly the quintessential Tennessee swing voter, if not representative of large swaths of the American populace — well, he always told me that what made Ronald Reagan great was his ability to connect with the American people, to inspire them, and to motivate them to once again believe in their ability to create an America that makes us all proud, in a time when America needed hope above all else.

Clearly, we are at such a moment, and we have such a candidate.

This time around, he’s a Democrat.
