Pre Covid-19 Got rid of the pandemic response team Economy booming Hardly booming, the stock market was up and down like the saucy bluebells thanks to Trump helping his friends short sell, everything put on the credit card, rich getting richer, deficit exploding Withdrawing troops from Afghanistan This hasn't happened yet in any great number and Trump will probably go back on the treaty like he does on every other one Exposing the Dems selling out USA to China, transfer of tech, patents, jobs and so on Exposing? Everyone knows it is going on, it is still going on, what has Trump done to stop it, are his ties and families clothing and jewelry still made there with his Maga hats? Don't underestimate the public love of the military, Trump is one of them Constantly abusing military members like McCain and the Generals The obvious BS of the Russian collusion , only a idiot still believes these Dem lies, and now every day it look like projection as the Dems are in bed with China big style. All US intelligence agencies and most around the World say Russia interfered in the election to get Trump elected, there is evidence on this forum for that. The Mueller report clearly shows Russia tried to aid Trump campaign and the campaign actively looked for that help. The most simple reason of all , USA used to lead the world in all fields, it has fallen behind and its clear to see, Trump comes along with MAGA, very easy to connect to, the pubic want success, Obama told them those days are gone and to accept it, Trump said Hell No! We are going to MAGA.Yeah America used to lead in some areas, then January 2017 happened and now they are a laughing stock, all old allegiances thrown in the bin, dooms day clock is closer to midnight than ever in history, the country is more divided then in history, science and empathy out the window, you would swear it was some kind of wish list someone like Putin would have wanted Land slide in election is coming, i can feel it building. Yeah most likely but not in the way you think

And - The "tide turning" - He's the incumbent , he shouldn't have to turn any tide. The Economy is what matters and all historical evidence suggests that the state of the Economy about 6 months out from the Election is the critical time in terms of people making decisions on voting. The bottom line is "Are people better off now than they were the last time they voted"? The answer to that question is a categorical No. Trump current actions are not making him popular with more people ,there simply aren't current Democrat or Independent voters who are looking at what Trump has done over the last week or so and thinking "I'm changing my vote , I'm voting Trump". His actions might be energising his existing support base to be more vocal in places like Reddit or elsewhere , which might explain what you are seeing , but an actual shift in the mix of voters isn't borne out by any data. In fact what you see is a hardening of the negative opinion - The volume of those that "Strongly" oppose him is increasing and only 12% or so of the near 60% were in the "somewhat oppose" bucket. That's a large part of the reason I don't buy the "Shy Trump voter" angle. If you were this mythical "Shy" supporter and you had the choice to respond "Oppose" or "Strongly Oppose" are we really supposed to believe that you are SO shy you chose the "Strongly oppose" option?
RIGOLO wrote: » Well then that opinion is at odds to the two ANTI-TRUMP American intellectuals (Lionel Shriver, and PJ O Rourke, who spent an hour discussing him on an Intelligence Squared public debate. Both were in full agreement that polling is meaningless in this day and age, the felt most respondents would not be truthful especially if it came to expressing support for Trump. Im glad to see some Democrat voters have come around to thinking the same way Ive been thinking for 4 years about polling on Trump. Its always nice to be proven correct. So if your arguing with a Trump supporter about the existence of the 'shy Trump supporter' its evident your also arguing with 2 heavy weight anti-Trump intellectuals who agree with the fore-mentioned Trump supporter on this point. crazy isnt it..

Missouri. St Louis, Dem mayor Georgia, Atlanta, Dem mayor Ohio, Columbus, Dem mayor North Carolina, Raleigh, Dem mayor Florida, Tallahassee , Dem mayor Indiana, Indianapolis, Dem mayor Tennessee, Nashville, Dem mayor Texas, Austin, Dem mayor This is a huge PR win for Trump, the Dems are weak and would rather let the country burn that MAGA, Reagan style landslide in November for Trump , the Dem run cities will see the Republican ones have faired much better and they will want the same.

Reddit, normally 100% orange man bad, but yesterday i notice a load of topics about how the Dems are encouraging these riots, enabling them to go on, in a nut shell they are saying Trump is correct and getting up voted, and huge change from the normal.

Biden has said he wants to pick a black woman for VP, and he most defiantly will now after the riots, so either Donna Brazile or Kamala Harris. Trump landslide, it will be a total victory.
Stallingrad wrote: » The stupidity of linking these riots with D or R politics/mayoral leadership. You are indeed deflecting, much like the Orange one does endlessly. The rioters are enraged after yet another black person was murdered in plane sight by a racist cop. It's really not as complicated as would like it to appear.

He stated that N/G forces did not fire either gas nor rubber bullets at the protestors in Lafayette Park, that he intended during his walk through the park to meet and talk to the N/G people on duty there, that the General with him wearing D.P.M clothing was wearing the usual uniform for workday use, that he did not know they were going to St John's church. Ref the helicopter seen flying low in the area at the time, he stated that it was a N/G copter and the Dept had begun an investigation as to what it was doing there. It might be pertinent to ask if Mr Esper is marking out space between himself and A.G Barr, reference the use of federal forces to fire on peaceful protestors in Lafayette Park, whatever about space between himself and his boss, Trump.

That assumes that the voters in those cities are idiots who accept Republican propaganda at face value. Biden has said he wants to pick a black woman for VP, and he most defiantly will now after the riots, so either Donna Brazile or Kamala Harris. And this is going to damage his chances because people who otherwise would have voted for Biden will now decide to vote for Trump? The lack of common sense in arriving at that conclusion is staggering. Trump landslide, it will be a total victory. What's your reasoning here? Do you think that if you say it loudly enough and often enough, it will convince people to vote for Trump?
