Donald Trump is facing the prospect of a landslide loss
CNN ^ | June 25,2020 | Chris Cillizza

(CNN)A half dozen new swing-state polls released Thursday morning suggest that not only would President Donald Trump lose if the election were held today, he would lose in a landslide.

The surveys, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, show Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by double digits in Michigan (Biden +11), Wisconsin (Biden +11) and Pennsylvania (Biden+ 10) and by mid-single digits in North Carolina (Biden +9), Arizona (Biden +7) and Florida (Biden +6).

Trump won every one of those states in the 2016 election. Switch them from red to blue and you can quickly see just how bad hings look for Trump at the moment.

And, thanks to CNN's handy dandy "Road to 270" interactive electoral maps, we can do just that! Give Biden those six states -- Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona and Florida -- and keep the rest of the 2020 map just as it was in 2016, and the Democratic nominee has 333 electoral votes to just 205 for Trump. That would be a larger Electoral College margin than President Barack Obama won with in his 2012 reelection.

But even that doesn't capture how dark things could get for Trump. Consider: * A Quinnipiac University poll in Ohio released Wednesday showed Biden at 46% to Trump's 45%. (A Fox News poll released in early June showed Biden at 47% to Trump's 45%). If Ohio went to Biden, he would be at 351 electoral votes. * A Des Moines Register poll earlier this month put Trump at 44% and Biden at 43% in Iowa. Give Biden Iowa and he's at 357 electoral votes.

Lord, where can we place bets against this guy’s BS propaganda “predictions”

right now at least, PDJT is leading in neighborhoods where many people used to spit at you if you dared even breathe his name

Nothing is too sinister for the left. What if they hire someone to pick off Biden, then they’ll say Trump took out the front runner. Maybe his wife is in on it. They’re probably creating a false social media record to frame some poor SOB white guy.

Oh, I have no doubt that this country may have finally reached peak idiocracy, 500 years early. If that’s really the case, a well-managed campaign based on reason and solid policy won’t mean a damn thing. Who evens discusses policy anymore? Frankly, a feminized America deserves to go down the toilet, and I won’t shed a single tear when it does.

"Sinister" is Latin for Left.

That’s ok, Chris - national suicide hotlines will be ready to take your call November 4th.

Hotline: hello, can we help you? What’s your crisis?
Cilizza: Trump crushed it and I think I’m going to end it all.
Hotline: Go for it...

Yes... There are many that think getting rid of the lightning rod will cause this insanity to disappear. What they don’t know is they will make things for themselves and others several times worse. Stupidity knows no bounds.

If it goes the latter way we are done. Nancy, Chuck and Joe’s handlers will serve up a multitrillion dollar bill for “reparations” and they will go to the only place left with that much wealth: our retirement portfolios.

The statists have been dying to get their hands on that pile of money for over a generation. They can’t stand it that the average guy has any financial independence. The race warfare is now their big chance to get it.

We can hope. I don’t trust the RNC to use any sense at all.

“Do you know anyone who voted for Trump in 2016 who will vote for Biden in 2020?”

Maybe. I know one older couple who are TERRIFIED of the China Virus. Odd because most of my friends are on the far side of 60 if not 70, and NONE of them believe the media.

But yes. Some people still trust the media. Not hardcore conservatives, but still....

How about not giving money to corporations that support this nonsense?

How about creating our own non-profits that fight this stuff? We should be able to fund enough private schools so that no one who wants their kids to be indoctrinated, has to send them off to a government school.

Pepsi/Frito Lay is supporting leftist causes, but how many millions of conservatives do you think they sell to? We could crash them if we just refused to buy anything from them.

Why are we not infiltrating the State department, charities, and corporations like the left has? Is it too much of a sacrifice? Lord knows, millionaire and billionaire leftists seem to outnumber those on the right by about 10 to 1, so they ain’t hurting for their beliefs.

Fool me once, shame on me.
I won’t be shamed again.
CNN hasn’t told the truth in four years. What makes them think I believe them now.
Please don’t give them the clicks on their site.

Do you know anyone who voted for Trump in 2016 who will vote for Biden in 2020?

Proper follow-up question:

Do you know anyone who either didn't vote for Trump or voted for him with no enthusiasm last time who can't wait to vote for him this time?

Most people I have posed those question to have said that the second group is much larger than the first (with the first often having "no one" as the answer).

>> Suburban women are not going to vote against the best interest of their families or the wishes of their husbands

Freepers need to keep their womenfolk in line—wives, mothers, sisters, daughters.
