2020 General Presidential Election Thread

[USUC]

Remember Trump's fortunes changed because he got a small pocket of voters in swing states to go his way. He has never had a mandate outside his base.

I mean, I think Trump is toast. But nothing surprises me anymore and I won't take anything for granted.

In fairness to Grand Moff Tarkin, Trump's never-ending chain of missteps, fumbles, stumbles, and self-owns has, imo, been the primary reason for the bleeding. What campaign could spin this shitshow into something with traction? He couldn't tell Trump what to do (like get the f*k off Twitter or stop acting like a dictator by announcing your arrival in public places with cans of tear gas) or risk getting fired, so he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. The amazingly poor numbers resulting from Trump's unfettered behavior were going to result in the inevitable anyway.

Sorry, no sympathy or consideration for fairness. All these losers know what djt is. They deserve their embarrassment. That trump stink never wears off.

Locke 'em up! Lock 'em up! Lock 'em up!

Trump's management style, such as it is, is so childish and predictable. His firing of his campaign manager provides yet another example.

On a call, three people familiar said, Trump shouted at Parscale and berated him about the poll numbers. At one point on the call, Trump threatened to sue him.

Would that I had a buck for everytime Trump threatened to sue someone. I'd have, like, a thousand bucks!

And speaking of poll numbers, I heard something today on The Remnant podcast that gives me hope for November. Despite Trump trailing in the 2016 polls, the outcome was actually in the margin of error of most polls so they weren't that far off the mark. Moreover, Michigan was polled only once, and Wisconsin not at all. Desperate to avoid looking stupid this time around, pollsters are more focused on the battleground states and the numbers do not bode well for Donald. I'm still not as confident Trump will lose as I was in 2016, but barring a Biden meltdown, things are looking good.

Agreed- from Sean Spicer all the way to Ivanka. None of them deserve a second look in any position of power whatsoever. Stephen Miller ... I can't think of an ending ignominious enough for him outside of just wishing him everything he deserves.

By the way this administration knows its days are numbered and is working at an impressive clip torching asylum law. Its recent bullshit restriction on student visas not working for online classes was met with such a flurry of lawsuits that they rescinded it. It's exhausting- he has to lose.

He'll cheat to win, or try to suspend having an election.

You sound just like all the crazy right wingers who said the same thing about Obama. Just FYI.

There is nothing crazy about the idea that Trump might try to invalidate the election. If he thought it were the only viable option to remain in power, of course he would try it. Can you honestly envision a scenario in which Trump says to himself, "Oh, I can't do that. It wouldn't be right"?

So true.

Dhole is right. It is crazy to think that Trump will cancel the election, invalidate the election, or refuse to step down when he is defeated by Bidin this November.

Agreed, any of those or a combination of any of those would be crazy.

So out of character for djt

Are you saying it's crazy because others wouldn't allow it or because Trump's scruples would constrain him? If you suggest the latter, you've been asleep the last four years.
