Wisconsin swing voters tire of Trump
Axios ^ | March 18, 2019 | Alexi McCammond

Posted on 03/18/2019 12:38:02 PM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

APPLETON, Wis. — Voters who supported Barack Obama in 2012 and then Donald Trump in 2016 are sick of Trump, saying in a focus group here that they're getting tired of his "lies" and the way he treats people.

Why it matters: Trump barely won Wisconsin, where he got roughly 22,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton, and these swing voters were decisive. If he's losing them, it will be harder to win the state again with just his base supporters.

Show less This was the biggest takeaway from the focus group of swing voters I watched last week, conducted by the research firms Engagious and Focus Pointe Global. The group included eight Obama/Trump voters and four Mitt Romney/Hillary Clinton voters.

They’re so sewn into the Frankfurt School Marxist-Regressive-Soros-Steyer-Long March Media Centipede they don’t know which way is up.

But the coming Biden-Beto ticket is just going to be difficult to beat.

LOL! Pres. Trump has a lot on his plate and a lot of problems but re-election is not one of them. Take your phony had wringing somewhere else.

Axios is Comcast.

Comcast despises conservatives.

Don’t subscribe to Comcast.

Then Democrats can't nominate two white guys. Half the ticket has to be either Black or female or both.

Massive vote fraud.

They didn't think they needed it in 2016, so they put it on autopilot.

They won't do that ever again.

I’m not so sure. That has to be the hope. And hopefully their process will tear them apart.

But I think that ticket is likely, and I think it’s the obvious choice for them.

This is probably correct. I too tire of Trump. I was tired of him when I voted for him in the primaries. I was even more tired of him when I voted for him in the election. I don’t listen to him hardly at all anymore and I will be utterly exhausted by him when I next vote for him in the next round of elections. By the time he is done I may well drop dead of exhaustion.

So unless my favorite Republican/Conservative/Liberty loving candidate can run and win... I ain’t getting any rest.

This crap means nothing unless the ask the person to choose between Trump and named Dem candidate. “Mr Swing Voter are you so tired of Trump that you will vote for AOC?”

Yes, I’m sure you’re right. Math has nothing to do with this. This is all phony. Because his numbers in the democrat states that he won in 2016 were so overwhelming.

I’m sure you’re right.

And 2018 went just great, also.

Yep. Co-founded by Jim VandeHei, a leftist co-founder of Politico, along with two more Politico big wigs. VandeHei was also a national political reporter for WaPo.

What really chaps my tush is that both FNC and FBN can’t seem to get through a show without featuring one of Axios’ Millennial Marxists.

Trump’s McCain comments don’t help either. Most Americans don’t give a damn about Christopher Steele and Bruce Ohr and Lisa Page. They just don’t.

You’ve got the Milwaukee Madison Racine liberal axis, but the rest of Wisconsin is majority farmers, deer hunters, and skilled working class.

Youtube: “crying man Wisconsin election”. They’ve pulled Republican upsets before.

Crooked Eric Holder has already been in Milwaukee.

This is the Obama mob.

Or perhaps they’re lying to the poll takers. I do. Everyone I know does.

It’s Axios, even more rabidly left than Polutico. When the guy that started Polutico left to start Axios, he went even further left. This is not journalism, this is propaganda. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.
