Chicago Columnist After Trump Speech: 'Dems Don't Have Anyone Who Can Touch Him' in 2020
Fox News ^ | July 31, 2018

A Chicago-based newspaper columnist predicted re-election for President Trump in 2020 after witnessing first-hand the enthusiastic support for the president among blue-collar workers.

Neil Steinberg attended a recent appearance by the president at a U.S. Steel facility in Granite City, Illinois, outside St. Louis. He wrote about speaking to steel workers and seeing how Trump connected with the audience.

"We need steel," Trump said. “We need steel plants. And to see an old, big monster plant like this re-opening — that is an honor. I look at the faces of you people; I could be one of you. I like you guys. I could be one of you.”

Steinberg concluded:

The workers, for their part, couldn’t give him a standing ovation because they never sat down.

I left the hall thinking: Donald Trump is going to be re-elected in 2020. The Democrats don’t have anyone who can touch him. Bank on it. Don’t hate me for being the one to tell you.

Laura Ingraham discussed Steinberg's piece with Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro, who noted the ongoing "culture war" between elitists on the coasts of the country and workers across the heartland.

“People who think that jobs being lost at the New York Daily News is a national tragedy, but jobs being lost in the steel industry is totally fine because those are a bunch of rubes in the rust belt anyway,” Shapiro said, explaining that Trump excels at speaking to "dirty job" workers and convincing them that he is fighting for them....

She was doing him a favor. Filling in for Dr. Gorkin who cancelled at the last minute because of flight delays (supposedly).

Each one of them will fill in for a late cancellation or host the show when needed.

I like the greg gutfeld show on Saturday. It’s one of the best shows that fox has to offer. Plus the interaction between Greg and his Standard crew (particularly the wrestler dude is hilarious.

There is no convincing going on, as it is the reality that he does care for them.

Steinberg is a Royal A.H, lib, as you might expect, he is a disgrace compared with the inimitable Mike Royko.

But this just confirms what we already know. Stay away from the coasts a tsunami is coming.

I guessing someone can build a campaign tv ad around this.

The Democrats don’t have anyone who can touch him.

One could interpret that as an invitation, a "hint" (wink, wink) to have someone "touch" him in a different way, being as how they can't and won't beat him in the 2020 election.

Welcome to the party... told everyone Trump would be the nominee and win the White House going right up the upper Midwest and have said that he will handily win re-election in 2020.

Not only will Trump win in 2020, but short of a complete economic collapse.. or Trump abandoning the America First/MAGA agenda, he will win 2020 by taking all but the deepest of blue states.

Let them stay that way. They convince themselves they’re winning when they’re losing in reality...same thing in the last cycle. If they can’t learn then it is what they deserve. People might have listened to polls in the past but I believe what happened during 2016 has given most people the perspective they’re just a tool to try and sway opinion. It won’t work anymore.

Anytime somebody states a poll I have to ask them, “you still listen to polls?”. Same for the media. I love it when leftists cite “fact checkers” because I get to ask them, “if the media is so honest why the need for ‘fact checkers’?”, along with, “how do you know the ‘fact checkers’ aren’t just another layer of manipulating media?”. It’s incredibly naive. It’s all to spread big lies.

Thanks Jeff.

Exactly....so without anyone to run against him, nor agenda anyone wants, they know the only means they have to even survive is to use the courts and obstruct as well as design circumstances to create possible impeachment.....otherwise they loose entirely their power, wealth, investments and support both here and internationally among the Global Elites pushing for a World Order of their design. Trump is the cork in their bottle of Globalism while he's in office. Remember that OB, Hillary, Bill, and several others covered the globe after his election to 'secure' leaders of their kind how to wait and play diplomatically until they regain power again....and this is ongoing.

Incredible since Neil Steinberg is an outright Communist. The Chicago Sun Times is to the left of Mao and Steinberg is their head propagandist -

Dirty jobs....is what gets things built.

I've had "dirty" jobs...Plumbed swimming pools...dug ditches.

Poured concrete....dug more ditches.

Got into health care...and had dirty jobs there too....Vomited...on.., spit on...bled on. Wiped poop..a time or too.......

The elite left...and the dumb left...don't know dirty work...unless they are an F.B.I. / C.I.A, / N.S.A. agent nowadays....doing dirty work...but generally not getting their hands dirty.., but they are dirty..in a bad way...!!!!

And trying to nullify a POTUS election....at the same time.
