Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Hey, when he’s right, he’s right. – At a rally in Michigan last night, President Donald Trump (I never tire of typing those three glorious words) put the exact right label on the Democrats’ refusal to drop the whole Russia Collusion fantasy in the wake of the end of the Mueller “investigation,” referring to their ongoing propaganda campaign as “ridiculous bullshit.”
Here’s the full quote:
“The Democrats have to now decide whether they will continue defrauding the public with ridiculous bullshit, partisan investigations, or whether they will apologize to the American people and join us to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, bring down the cost of health care and prescription drugs … help us fix our broken trade deals,” he said to the crowd.
Be honest: One of the things that makes you a little bit uncomfortable about President Trump is that he so often expresses exactly what you were thinking but were reluctant to blurt out yourself. Coming as I do from a family of Texas over-cussers, I can think of no better way to describe the ongoing behavior of Democrats like Adam Schiff, Jabba the Nadler, Irish Bob O’Rourke and Eric Swalwell than to call it “ridiculous bullshit.” Because that’s what it is.
Personally, I appreciate the President for going ahead and saying it so I would feel justified myself repeating it several times in this morning’s Campaign Update. Because it is ridiculous bullshit – it just is.
Speaking of Trump’s rally in Michigan… – Democrats who poo-poo the President’s rallies as being insignificant are quite frankly whistling past the graveyard. Yesterday’s rally in Grand Rapids – a city of less than 200,000 – attracted more than 32,000 people. At one point, the line waiting to get into the Van Andel Arena stretched for more than a mile. As usual, the thousands who could not gain admittance into the facility stood outside and watched on giant TV screens.
This is not a one-time fluke – this happens over and over and over again at every rally the President holds. The Democrats and their fake news media flunkies want you to believe that this is a very unpopular POTUS, but his 50% approval rating in the Rasmussen survey tells another story, and his average public approval rating is higher than Ronald Reagan’s was at this point in his first term in office.
An unpopular, failing president would have a hard time attracting major crowds like this one. But these rallies have actually grown larger and more intense over time, not less so. Just as with the big Obama rallies in 2008, they are in fact a harbinger of a very strong candidate, an incumbent whose re-election chances are growing stronger by the day.
I don’t like to hyper-focus on polls since they are so unreliable, but the new Quinnipiac poll out this week it a good indicator of what an uphill climb the Democrats truly have in 2020. Here’s a link to The Hill’s report on this poll.
First, as The Hill notes in its blaring headline, Pete Buttigieg has “surged”, now getting 4% support in the Democrat horse race. Second, Fauxcahontas is mired way down in a tie with the 37 year-old mayor of South Bend, IN. Ouch. Things are just not working out for Little Mouth Always Running, are they?
Third, Irish Bob O’Rourke has very predictably moved past a fading Kamala Harris to capture 3rd place, pulling 12% to Harris’s 8%. Fourth, Creepy Joe Biden now holds a 10-point lead over the Commie at 29-19.
None of those results are in any way surprising to anyone who has been paying attention to the dynamics of this race, which is admittedly still in its very early stages. Harris has thus far been a stumbling, bumbling disaster of a candidate, a prime example of someone whose time in the public spotlight came well before she was ready for it.
The Commie has his base of support, but finds it getting peeled away by all the other commies in the race, like Buttigieg, for example. It’s like he’s dying a death by a thousand cuts, as all the other craven candidates keep stealing his issues and policy positions.
Biden hasn’t even formally announced his candidacy yet, but continues to attract fairly strong early support on name recognition and his association with Obama. That Obama-glow will steadily wear away as the race goes on, and we will probably see “Peak Biden” as his polls surge in the week after his formal announcement, and then slowly but steadily fade as the long race drags on and the demented Democrat voter base wake up to who he really is.
So, none of that is any surprise at all. But here is what is a surprise buried deep in the bowels of this poll:
Just 57% of the self-identified Democrats and Democrat-leaning registered voters polled in this survey say they will not vote for President Trump regardless of who the Democrat nominee is in 2020. That is an extraordinarily low percentage from this segment of society, meaning as it does that fully 43% of “Democrats and Democrat-leaning registered voters” are open to the idea of a second Trump term in office.
Ooof.
Get used to saying President Donald Trump, Democrats, because you most likely have 6 more years to do so.
That is all.

Eric SwallowsWell...
Ewwwwww Good one.
And then maybe 8 years of Pence or his VP that will uphold Trumps initiative.
Democrats dying on the vine, destroyed by themselves. Got not one viable candidate to run for POTUS against POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! Trumpie......rally next in South Florida, the Miami or Orlando area and 100,000 supporters will turn out for you, Cubans, Venezuelans, Puerto Ricans, Haitians, Caribbean folks, South Floridians of all stripes. Use popular Senator, Rick Scott & Governor, Ron DeSantis to fashion and put the gig together.
Do it, Trump....now!!! Go, Trump, Go MEGA, MAGA, Four More Years, Trump!!!
Do not mock Happy Magic Fun Ball...
Trump 2020~!
Let’s see Ruthie outlast Trump now.
Then, after President Trump Sr., a good choice might be Trump Jr. Wouldn’t that be the ultimate kick in the teeth for the triggered snowflakes. I wonder if the suicide rate would skyrocket. I’m sure thousands of dems would claim they are moving out of the country only to shut their pie holes for 4.2 minutes and stay.
Need directions on how to dismantle a cyborg. Just in case.
Trump is going to win in a landslide. It may not be a Reagan '84 kind of landslide, but it'll be a landslide nonetheless.
Don Jr. (or Ivanka)....bet on it!
“Need directions on how to dismantle a cyborg. Just in case.”
Do cyborgs have pulses?
For those concerned that Don Jr., Ivana and Eric (and Barron, for that matter) are not natural-born citizens, the general rule in the 1700s was that one was a NBC if one was a citizen without the need to go through naturalization procedures. All of the Trump children, by virtue of their father’s citizenship at the time of their birth, are thus NBCs. https://harvardlawreview.org/2015/03/on-the-meaning-of-natural-born-citizen/
Just saying.
Not after being hit by a pulse from a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range. :>)
