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

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.

Jimmy Van thinks he knows Wisconsin because he grew up there.

And 20,000 votes showed up for Crooked Evers (Gov). Walker was ahead a little when I went to bed and I woke up about 1:00 AM and he was behind.

”Jimmy Van thinks he knows Wisconsin because he grew up there.“

I grew up in Queens, NY. Might as well be Mars, for all it has changed.

Sounds like a ‘Fake News’ article to me. We will wait to see how Wisconsin votes in November 2020 to see if it is true or not. My guess is not!

Quote: “And 2018 went just great, also.”

And 2010 went so great for Obama, right. Yet, when he was on the ballot he won.

We just do not know enough right now to say who will win. We do not know who the dems are nominating or what events will unfold.

I've always said Axlerod pulled off the campaign miracle of a generation getting Baraq re-elected, given the state of the economy.

Same with Lyin' Ryan. Though he plainly never grew up.

Stephen Hayes at the foot of the master.

Must be something in the cheese.

Oh wow, that’s dispositive. 12 dumbshits who couldn’t name one lie and don’t like the way he treats the filth who relentlessly attack him.

First, it was no miracle at all if you think about it. The economy doesn’t matter when a democrat is in charge. As aggressively as the media goes after a Trump or Bush it goes into protection mode. Economy, what economy. GM was alive and Bin Laden was dead.

Second and to my point, it is about who the opposition is. Romney was the absolute worst guy the GOP could nominate. But the Bush/McCain/Romney wing lives, breathes and exists to be proper losers. Obama’s biggest weakness was Obamacare. Who does the GOP nominate? Why, the one guy who could no possible come close to bringing up Obamacare as an issue because he pioneered it.

I agree with that 100%.

All I said was that the numbers and the math show that it is going to be tough.

That’s indisputable.

It’s going to be tough. Trump might pull it off. But the Dems might also. Again, that is completely non-controversial seems to me.

It’s going to be tough.

(But, fortunately, Trump is the toughest we have ever had, by far.....)

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

Not when the public sees how many times Biden touches children inappropriately, and the pained expressions on the faces of the little girls.

Trump’s McCain comments don’t help either.

Don't help whom?



Most Americans don’t give a damn about Christopher Steele and Bruce Ohr and Lisa Page? They just don’t.


How do you purport to know that most Americans don’t give a damn about Christopher Steele and Bruce Ohr and Lisa Page?

Do you own or manage a polling company?

Or are you just making it up as you go along?
