knowledge dropper Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Today is the big day where our President announces his re-election bid. I figured a thread was needed to discuss the upcoming election strategy and his successful first term. Edited January 31 by knowledge dropper I guess we need to emphasize this is Pro-Trump territory 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timschochet Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 100,000 people expected. Very impressive. Those of us who want to defeat President Trump need to keep in mind that he retains the support of around 40% of the country, and that is a strong support that will not waver. They're motivated, they will vote, and Trump will be difficult to defeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timschochet Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Don't know about Bannon, but I do think that Trump is going to fight a very nasty campaign. And that worked for him in 2016, not so much in 2018. Whether or not it will work in 2020 depends largely IMO on a variety of factors, the most important one being who he faces. I think he needs somebody from the progressive wing of the Democratic party. Trump needs to be able to attack the Green New Deal and socialized medicine and socialism in general. He can't make those arguments work against a centrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the majority of these people are taking days off of work, work different hours or are retired. I also believe the same is true for those who protest Trump yet I have never seen a Trump supporter make such claims, just that they don't have jobs. I just felt like pointing out some hypocrisy.

That side is still way off in many areas from what mainstream america is when it comes to LGBTQ rights, abortion, universal healthcare, free education, income and wealth distribution, reparations..and on and on....

The bolded is certainly not true. I would imagine that if the pollsters are wrong about Trump again in 2020 several of them will go out of business. I am guessing that they are being exceedingly cautious, and the current polling is even worse for Trump at the present time than is being reported.
