Trump admits it: He's losing (Politico)
- Thread starter chubigans
- Start date
His voter base lives on fake news. A proper response would have locked the country down before there was any visible impact, more aggressively, for a much longer period of time. That would have resulted in nearly no deaths and his base would have declared it a hoax and fake news marking him as weak and easily manipulated.
Yes and yes!
Dems are going to need a big turnout for down-ticket gains, which is what really needs to happen. Remember, any Senate seat that can be flipped, stays flipped for 6 years.
Not only that, but ideally I also want a pretty crushing defeat for Trump. Something that maybe shakes some of the "moderate Republicans" into some sort of self-reflection.
also keep in mind that at the time the prevailing thought was that an effective and extended lockdown would destroy the economy, which is the only thing Trump cared about avoiding. Yes, it makes no sense, but he's a short sighted moron.
He would've gotten Fox News, and therefore his base, to fall in line to lick his ass, as per usual. Of course, Fox News dictates policy as much, if not more, than Trump. It's a moot point, though; Neither of them gives a shit about actual people.
I love the idea of him dealing with the fact that he's an unpopular piece of trash that everyone hates.
As many others have said, don't get complacent.
Vote, and try to convince at least one other non-voter you know to come with you.

a lot of these "inside sources" stories sound way too good to be true tbh
and considering how many there are... is every staff member in the WH a big mouth? Lol

As happy as I am to read stuff like there there is still far too much time between now and November for people to move on from what's going on now to just put the Champaign on ice. Please vote no matter where you are. Take no chances.
And I don't see any situation where Trump doesn't run. Worst case scenario he runs and tries every illegal thing he can to win or make it so he can avoid ramifications after he's finally out of office. Zero percent he drops out.

You'd think he'd dropout, but this will just incentive him and the GOP to new schemes of voter disenfranchisement and election fraud and if that doesn't work I'm sure he'll toy around with the idea of just staying put.
Vote and be vigilant of what is happening in your local governments leading up to November.

Polls show Trump is going to lose badly.
Instead of making me want to take it easy it makes me want to vote even more. Because it's not enough for me that he loses badly. He needs to lose even HARDER.

I don't care, nothing is stopping me from voting all blue in November. I really hope everyone is sick of all this Republican bs and does the same, even all those people who think their vote doesn't matter because they live in a "red" state.
My partner and I live in Florida. And both of us have been getting a little concerned about whether our mail-in votes will count.
They have the advantage of being able to tell their boss that they're leaving for the day. And I have the situation where I have to stay where I am.
My partner will more than likely voting physically. While I will have to vote by mail by necessity.
It is completely stupid that anyone in the United States has to vote physically, has to worry about it at all, we should all vote by mail.

Ah yes, I think I heard that before. No way he'd win, Hillary has this in the bag, etc etc.
Until Biden is actually sworn in, I am assuming Trump wins again.
If anything the US has proven time and time again over the last 5 years that a sizeable amount of its population does not care for anything other than their "team" winning. And it's pretty much split down the middle. The only thing that can really sway results is voter turnout.

No he wasn't. Saying things like this means that Ross Perot must be the president in 96. Because he seem to have the voice of the American people behind him.
That's what 16 year old me what was thinking.
The polls for Hillary Clinton were in the margin of error.
Biden is a lot higher than that. Regardless at the polls still vote, voting matters.
Yeah, just wait until he loses and the right goes ape shit trying to blame "fake" mail in ballots even without any real evidence since that's what they love to do, worst part though is going to be all the shit they're going to try and accomplish before he and probably their senate majority leaves next year.
If Trump stepped down, whoever replaced him on the ballot would lose just as badly if not worse. I have been in the presence of Trump cultists who were already flouting conspiracies in Trump's very first year of office, that Pence and co were organizing a coup against Agent Orange. Why? I have no fucking clue. But this is why the entire GOP has begrudgingly worked with Trump as long as they have. There is literally no way they can sever themselves from Trump, because the GOP IS Trump. At least as far as his cult base is concerned. And these cultists will never accept any other candidate. Trump is their god. Their white supremacist messiah. And if Trump loses the election, the GOP is fucked big time.
Trump's best chance of turning this around is to attack China , to attack Joe Biden for not having a visible national presence and show actual visibile signs of improving the economy in a responsible manner.
If he lacks any of the 3 he can't win. Even with all 3 his sheer incompetence means he might not be able to execute on these ideas.
This speculation about Trump calling for a civil war is unfounded. Trump will definitely try to invalidate the election results but he won't do anything until after the votes are cast. He'll continue to spread lies about possible election fraud to set the tone while his allies work behind the scenes to make the fraud "real".

That's the biggest concern I have but I don't really think that's possible even if they try to create a different reality because coronavirus doesn't discriminate. A worldwide recession (even depression) is inevitable and that's further fueled in the USA by the Republicans putting the cart infront of the horse. They think the lockdowns are the reasons why the economy is tanking so many of them like in Florida and Texas were calling for mass openings to resuscitate the economy. That's treating the symptom and not the cause, the economy is going to tank no matter what so long coronavirus isn't under control and there isn't an obvious strategy to mitigate its impacts. The federal government isn't doing shit so its up to the states to figure it out, which is a terribly inefficient way of doing it.
Edit: The biggest problem for Trump is the entire blue wall looking like it'll turn out for Biden hard (white man, didn't tell Michigan to eat shit and die like Trump did) and possibility the loss of Florida (white man, didn't tell old people to go turn themselves into fuel to be put into the economy).

James Carville went on MSNBC and said Trump will lose in November, with 0% chance of him winning
I immediately googled what he was saying in 2016 and it was the same shit.
So yeah.. Don't underestimate the stupidity of this country, the unfairness of the system, and the willingness of republicans to cheat.
I'm not entertaining any thought that it's over until it's literally officially over.

VOTE!
You are all awesome!
Pls don't die a week before the election Joe.
(I don't think he's particularly ill, it's just been that kind of year. He's at an age where it wouldn't be shocking and we're in a worsening pandemic that is utter hell on people his age).
I also don't trust that he has it on lock this far out, but I'm pretty optimistic overall. Or maybe my brain just refuses to accept the possibility of another Trump term. My sanity wouldn't survive.
