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.

Most Americans don’t know who they are. Only conservatives and informed Americans do. Most Americans care about whether the economy is good or if their friends are safe.

Ever since Trump won he election I have heard about “Trumps lies” and I’ve searched and searched for any lie at any time that he has spoken. He exaggerates from time to time, but lie? Never heard a single lie. Somebody help me to find the lies I hear about.

That’s not accurate. He just needs to win everything else he won last time and then he can win either PA or MI. So not two out of three. Heck, just WI would force a tie if he still splits ME.

Mitt Romney (1.408 million) got more votes in Wisconsin in 2012 than Trump (1.405 million) got in Wisconsin in 2016.

And, Mitt Romney lost Wisconsin by 7 percentage points to Barack Obama!

Bottom Line....

Trump won Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in 2016 because Hillary Clinton did not get her core voters to the polls.

The Democrats will not make that same mistake in 2020.

Kamala Harris is NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT.

She is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

IF she keeps taking campaign funds——is she committing campaign election fraud???

Yes, that is true.

Most Americans are tired of “CNN: Breaking News: Mueller this, Mueller that”.

But they don’t know the people involved in that.

They don’t know who Ohr, Steele, Strok are. Only political junkies know.

The 2020 election will not be a 1980, 1984, or 1988. It will be a 2000 or 2004 and Trump will have to expand his base. Meaning that he will have to appeal to black, Latino and women voters.

There you go again, speaking for “most Americans!”

That’s akin to the Fake Media and their “anonymous sources.”

“Voters who supported Barack Obama in 2012 and then Donald Trump in 2016 “

Maybe it is just me but I really do not think people who voted for Obummer voted for Donald Trump. Color me skeptical.

This writer is a commie POS who lied about Trump grabbing her wrist. She has a serious credibility issue, as do you. Good friend of yours?

If the economy is good, PT wins, barring major voter fraud.
