‘Trump’s Going to Get Re-elected, Isn’t He?’
The New York Times ^ | June 16, 2019 | Thomas L. Friedman

Posted on 07/17/2019 9:27:09 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

I’m struck at how many people have come up to me recently and said, “Trump’s going to get re-elected, isn’t he?” And in each case, when I drilled down to ask why, I bumped into the Democratic presidential debates in June. I think a lot of Americans were shocked by some of the things they heard there. I was.

Yes. He’s trying to secure the borders, and the dems are in disarray.

Yes he’s going to be re-elected because the Democrat clown car is full of communists.

They took off their masks a little too soon.

YES!.......... But let's not get complacent or rest upon our laurels. The Left sure as hell won't back down!................

I certainly hope so.
It would be very sad if this nation continued on its path towards national, cultural, and demographic suicide.

Friedman is incredibly dumb. The Dunning-Kruger effect, in a particularly unattractive package.

With the commie jihad squad providing free campaign fodder, the President is a shoo-in for his second term.

Yes. He has the economy doing well for the first time since the start of the Great Recession, we are at peace and he is putting America first. The Democrats meanwhile have gone completely insane ie. Hate White people, grab all the guns, full on Gaia Worship, abolish the borders and full socialism.

Even Friedman who gets things wrong most of the time got this one right. The RAT debate was a contest among leftists over who could go further left and Americans were shocked.

I’ve come to believe that there’s another subtle reason why Trump will be re-elected. I suspect a lot of people who hate him secretly want him to win for two reasons: One, he’s entertaining as hell whether you like him or not. And two, for these leftist lunatics he’s like the villain in a WWE wrestling match ... you may hate him, but you know you can’t have a wrestling match without him.

He’s up against voter fraud. That’s all that will stop him.

The GOP strategy is to let the donkeys talk.

I think the “too soon” idea was planned. Saturate the news with this idea, and by the time the election rolls around many voters will have fatigue and not give much of a damn. It’s why there are this many candidates running, to try and control the political narrative for as long as possible before people get sick of it and just go back to their everyday lives. Unfortunately, it is the latter group that tends to give us more DEMs.

For one we can expect voter fraud from the Left at all time highs.
