So what do this all do for Trump and the GOP in November? (VANITY POST)
6/03/20 | MplsSteve

Posted on 06/03/2020 6:58:57 AM PDT by MplsSteve

In advance, I apologize for the Vanity Post - but I did want to take a minute to gauge Freeper opinion on recent developments. This thread is a bit long but please read it.

We've had the COVID-19 scare for quite some time now. It has had a negative effect on this nation, economically and socially.

Combine that with the recent rioting in many US metro areas (including mine - which has thankfully died down for now) and my question is this...

How do these things bode for President Trump and the GOP in November?

Do the American people rise up and say enough is enough? We need a strong leader to bring this nation back?

In the suburbs, do the soccer moms clutch their pearls and believe all will be well if they vote Dem or they suddenly realize that the rioting could take place in their neighborhoods or that they might have to cut back on soccer camp for little Brianna and little Jason because their husband is out of work?

Do blacks and Hispanics in the inner city suddenly realize that their Dem leaders have more or less tossed them over the side and decide to vote GOP - maybe not in overwhelming numbers but at a better rate than before?

Given the 24/7 media drumbeat has been "Trump Bad, GOP bad, white privilege bad", has the damage been done and we'll soon embark on a sustained period of Dem dominance nationwide?

I'd like your opinions.

We will see the economy recovering rapidly in red states. Trump can say that the blue state Governors are what’s preventing things from coming back more quickly. He can name names, i.e. Whitmer, Walz, Wolf etc.

His position on the riots is a big plus for him, compared to the Democrats almost being in favor of them.

Don’t forget Biden’s China connections and statements about China. I believe they will attack strongly on that.

Therefore, I think he should win.

If they steal or attempt to steal this election the results for them will not be pretty. If all major cities in America riot and destroy over the death of one gangbanger one hates to think of the outcome if the left wins. If they do win it will be by crook and both sides of the political spectrum know this.

I watched one of these "protests" here in Texas and both sides were armed.
It was like watching a kid with a book of matches in a warehouse full of fireworks. It's only a matter of time.

The trend favors Trump. It’s rare a party is in the White House for only one term. The only time in our lifetimes was Democrat one-term Carter sandwiched between Republicans. To find the last time that happened you have to go back to the 1896 election.

What did the post Ferguson riots of 2015-16 do for Trump in 2016?

One problem for the Dems is that their candidate is showing signs of dementia - The debates will highlight this. Trump’s prep team is undoubtedly consulting physicians to see how best to trip up a person in Biden’s fragile state.

Nothing Biden can do that will prepare him...

In a normal election year, nothing resembling accurate polling occurrs before labor day, because most of the “gettable” voters who don’t follow politics regularly are trying to enjoy summer. We are only a week past memorial day.

One thing we can safely observe is that the antifa anarchists/dark money socialists and globalists are going all out this year and they won’t give up.

I think BLM helped get Trump elected in 2016. These riots will give him a huge landslide. Democrats will cross over in record numbers.the lockdown only gave people time to learn about other news sites and discuss things among themselves.

Partner, we are thinking alike. Great post.

These riots and the so called Virus (biggest hoax on the American public) will give President Donald John Trump the added impetus to win in a landslide come this November presidential election.

I looked at the traditionally DemonRat state of New Jersey in the recent rally that occurred in the great state of New Jersey and there were thousands of folks that were turned away but they had big screen TV's on had for them to see the rally inside.

The governors of NJ, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, NM, Nevada, and NY will wish they had handled the ongoing riots better than what they did. They handled the virus so badly.

Also, we are not forgetting the pathetic performance of our Speaker of the People's House Miss Nancy Pelousy. She has done a really bad job as Speaker and I really think she has Alzheimers/Dementia or maybe both!!!

The House will return to the Republicans and they had better not screw this up.

Steve, the First Rule of Vanity is to write clear English.

“So what do this all do for Trump and the GOP in November?”

I’ve been wondering when the next round of bogus polls would show up and sure enough they did, Biden up by 10. Laughable.

Seeing how as both issues were conceived and carried out by the Left, I do not think normal folks in the voting public think of it any more than I do and I’m extremely grateful to have a President who does the right thing for the right reason, even if, as in the case of the phony “pandemic,” for a time listened and even put such nuts in charge of the nations‘ business, commerce and even personal freedoms!

I’ll admit, I’ve been pretty steamed over having my personal freedom curtailed by “health professionals” looking only out for New York, knowing they were still crowding onto their mass transit systems and have idiots for leaders, who, to today, are still shut down!

I’ll also admit, I’ve been wondering how long this violence, looting and anarchy was going to be tolerated in this country, when that’s what our President has the sole responsibility for! I understand the President has left it up to the various Governors but after the second night straight of it, it was clear as a bell to me, this was but phase two of the plan to oust the President, after the lockdowns were running out of steam.

Nah, if it wasn’t obvious before, no liberal Governor ever gave a rip about “social distancing” when they are now out posing with the looters, in solidarity!

Actually, these are very good questions.

I’m not a naysayer and am very much a DJT supporter, however . . .

There are three things that, it we are honest and realistic about that could result in a massive (Presidency, Senate AND the House) take over by the Democrats.

1. The media, with its never ending drumbeat of Trump and Republicans bad, Biden and Democrats good.

2. Voter fraud to the nth degree that will occur in very specific (ie: electoral votes) states, that could potentially “give” Biden a landslide electoral win. Of course, someone will have to explain what that means to Joe.

3. The very real possibility that the Democrats along with Antifa and others, move into another phase of terrorism, which of course will be blamed on DJT and the Republicans.

When it comes right down to it, I believe the majority of Americans want law and order above everything else. This will put Trump over the top.

Anyone, who believes that President Trump lost votes because those people are rioting and protesting has severe TSD and other organic brain disorders.

Any who does not believe that every new gun buyer equals a vote for Trump, also has severe TSD and other organic brain disorders.
