Michigan Democrats organizing early to stop Trump repeat in 2020

Democrats are organizing in Michigan earlier than ever to stop President Donald Trump from taking the state again in 2020.

Michigan Democratic Party Chairwoman Lavora Barnes said the goal is to build a stronger, more permanent political machine to hit the ground running when the party chooses its presidential nominee. The organizing effort is based on lessons learned from Hillary Clinton’s surprise loss in 2016.

“We’ve not had, frankly, the wherewithal to do this before,” Barnes said. “We also have always tried to do some off-year organizing, but this large scale is unprecedented. It’s really about not taking any voters for granted or any part of the state for granted, recognizing that we have to get out there and make our case all over.”

The Democratic National Committee dispatched field organizers to Michigan and built a program to train 45 students from Michigan universities as part of its pre-2020 strategy. Democrats other independent organizations also built a “war room” communications team to highlight the president’s “broken promises” to Michigan voters.

Democrats launched an eight-week student training program, known as Organizing Corps 2020, in Michigan and six other battleground states this summer. The program creates a pipeline for college juniors and seniors to enter full-time paid campaign jobs working to register voters and inform residents of recent changes to Michigan voting procedures.

I imagine they’re training a whole army of “vote harvesters”.

Republicans better be doing the same - but given that “republican” is a synonym for “stupid”, I doubt they are.

We all know it’s going to be a real beauty.

LOL! Hillary might be better than anybody they’ll have in 2020. That just shows you how bad the ‘rats SUCK. They REALLY SUCK. Clown car in the distance with a broken headlight ALERT.

Oh blah blah. JJ raised 1.5 million in a month. I’m collecting signatures for his ballot and everyone up here is signing it.

I’m going to find some gun control statement from the final dnc candidate and distribute copies of it *everywhere* because they’re all hunters and they just need prompting to get them to actually vote.

Last time the voting places here said they were getting people who had not voted in 10 or more years...

I believe that's by Her Heinous's design so she can enter late to bail out the party in the face of such clownery.

Democrats launched an eight-week student training program, known as Organizing Corps 2020, in Michigan and six other battleground states this summer.

When they have completed the course they will be assigned to local organizing groups called Storm Units. A select few will receive further training and will be assigned to Protection Detachments to help ensure the reliability of the Storm Units.

Don't laugh. They are quietly organizing. Quiet to those here on FR, but if you read stuff that we normally wouldn't, it is right there in front of your face at the community organizing / 501 type org level.

* They used Medical Marijuana last election cycle to clean our clocks.
* 11th district and a guy who's name I can't remember off the top of my head in Brighton lost, it will be a miracle to get them back.
* Not to mention new rules about making it easier to get automatic absentee ballot (playground for fraud IMHO)
* And a redistricting board for a state that a;ready has decent boundaries, that will probably be overwhelming Democrat.
* Did I mention the Sec of State turns hard left?

It will be a freaking Miracle if PDJT wins here again, this is under the radar stuff. The only thing that will pull it out for him is if blue collar union types aka the line guys and all blue collars get that whoever "Brand D" puts up won't have the appeal and the risk of that candidate turning this economic miracle into an economic mess.

They have to see that the "D" Candidate is a combo of McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis and Hildabeast all rolled together, and they can kiss their Job, Their overtime and their financial @$$es goodbye. Then and only then does PDJT have a chance.
