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.

Biden in his basement is a better candidate than Hillary on her broom.

We have to act as if these numbers are accurate & do everything we can.

And eight years ago people weren’t holding back on voicing their support for Obama, like they are today with PDJT.

Go ahead CNN, you keep thinking that way.

I look forward to the coming youtube video compilations, of election night Nov 2020, where your bitter tears will be flowing for all to laugh at and cherish, when you find out that Trump is Prez for another 4 years.

This isn’t 2016. Biden is an empty vessel to be wherever and whatever people want. They’re tired of Trump’s drama because he can’t control himself. He shouldn’t get re-elected if he can’t get his crap together. What’s his re-election plan? What’s the agenda for four more years? He’s failing to lead, bogged down in back and forth. They are beating him because he’s falling for their bait. We wouldn’t put up with a disorganized campaign from any other Republican, we need to expect no less from Trump. Where are his positive ideas? He seems desperate. This is the most critical election we’ve seen because we know what happened with the deep state, phony impeachment, what going on right not but is Trump the one to seal the deal and lead us? The cause is too important to let his ego get in the way. We can’t afford a Biden, Dem sweep. Only Trump can turn things around.

They are probably setting up for the mail in voting fraud. “Hey, there was no fraud. Even the polls said that Biden was winning big time.”

"...Play like you're 10 points down late in the 4th quarter.

Register Trump voters!

....... Exactly ....... Republicans need to get much more proactive. Democrats have a vast Voter Registration Machine .... And bus people to the voting polls every election ......

“If the country is retarded enough to elect Joe Biden, it deserves everything that follows.”

Sad but true.

I’m hoping this can be turned around as fast as it turned against us. But I can’t disagree with your assessment.

More Millennials have become of voting age and for most of them a candidate can’t be communist enough. We have to get more votes to overcome that. We can’t look back to 2016.

It will be hard for Trump to get a second term since the media polls elected Hillary in 2016.

I hope you’re right. But it’s the “independents” that worry me. Why? Because they are wishy-washy and their opinions change with the wind. I know a guy who is a self-described “independent”. About 6 months he was 100% behind Trump. I talked to him about a month ago and now he thinks “we need a change”. He’s now for Biden.

If the Wu flu and anarchy are still the big stories in November...be afraid of the “independents”.
