There is no doubt that Obama participated in the silent coup before he left office and has literally hobbled Trump his first term. There is clear documentation that Obama participated and perhaps instigated the whole thing.

We also know now that Biden was the one who suggested using the Logan Act to prosecute Flynn in an oval office meeting in January 2017 before Trump became president.

However, many people don't know and are completely unaware of the coup. I have a friend who is a liberal who is completely ignorant since the news he watches has not covered the years of development in Spygate. It really is astonishing how corrupt the media is.

He brought up the whole Ukraine and Trump connection/corruption and I asked him if he was aware that Biden is the one who etc etc etc...which you know. It's on tape! The whole Spygate thing...he looked like I was crazy as I briefly explained the whole Flynn setup so Trump would not find out he was spied on, etc etc. He thought I was making it up. So, if indictments come, I think many people will just say the DOJ has been corrupted by Trump and he is punishing his enemies - they have already said that.

The House has already introducted articles of impeachment against Barr in anticipation of indictments.

So anyway - that is long way to say I agree with you.

Agree there are other things coming - one of them - hopefully is indictments, but it needs to be done sooner than later so voters can digest the information. Many voters may not even believe it, so it will take time for the information and the documentation can be thoroughly reviewed by voters - which really means so the news media can spell it out, but I think the media will punt and pretend it is a corrupt prosecution. It’s all out there and some of it has been for years but many people just don’t know about it.

Steve Deace who is well connected. I did not get the impression it was confidential because when a campaign moves resources out of state, it is rather obvious. Most of the folks are moved to another state and ad buys/cancellations are public. As far as the internal polls, that was private, but I believe when a campaign makes "public" its internal polls, even if it is just one state, the campaign wants people to know the status, probably to get them motivated.

This will be the most odd campaign we have ever seen. Trump still has not rescheduled the NH rally and may not. It's possible he will not be able to hold one rally - it's too early to know. Trump has got to smoke Biden out of the basement, but not certain how he can do so.

Voting for Biden then?

Trump has actually handled this whole scamdemic brilliantly & will be re-elected in the fall no matter how much defeatist trolling takes place on FR.

I agree.

This makes perfect sense to me - don’t let the Democrats bait you into appearing cavalier - wear the mask, cancel some events. Make it a non issue.

Two months ago, I would have said his re-election hopes depended on getting the economy revved back up at all costs. Even at the risk of appearing dismissive about the virus.

But since then, the Democrats have handed him another winning issue on a silver platter: law and order. In addition, the Democrats have owned the masks and the shutdowns, calling them patriotic, so most people see it as a Democrat shutdown, and won’t blame the President for it.

On top of that, the economy isn’t doing as bad as some feared - despite the shutdowns.

But even it didn’t make sense to me, I would assume I’m wrong, because I know damn well he’s smarter than me at this stuff.

I’m working with a Congressional campaign in VA and we’ve seen no change in the behavior of the Trump campaign.

Great post. We ARE behind - and behind big at this point. To deny that is living with one’s head firmly in the ground.

The one thing that can save Trump is debates. We all know Biden is likely to fall totally apart unless they have some really great drug that helps him be coherent for more than 30 seconds (hell, he can’t even manage THAT most days).

We’re in serious trouble. It’s obvious to anyone who looks objectively at things. I contend the #1 reason is our ongoing denial of the virus - case in point..even after all this time, there are still “it’s all a hoax!” posts - even though 200+ countries are battling the virus. Think for a second..are they ALL “in on” the “plot to get Trump”? That is not playing well whatsoever outside of FR, and if we do lose, that will be the biggest reason.

Nope, but you sound like a Karen projecting.

Psst: For the past 30 years plus, all caps is equivalent to shouting on the internet. Learn the rules of behavior, Karen.

Don’t bother asking for my manager, Karen.

Heart dysrythmias can be affected, little else from a few days of the HCQ cocktail. Some people have taken HCQ for decades. Unhealthy people could have been advised to stay home. Everyone else could have attended. To me, this is a tragic cave-in.

May I gently suggest that you tend to your own business, look up the word HUMILITY in the dictionary & thereafter at least try practicing that quality in your own daily life??

Truthfully, you don’t seem to be nearly perfect enough to offer anyone else advice on their behavior. What you have succeeded in doing is making yourself look like an utter jackass.
(Meanwhile, IF I ever want any worthless advice, I’ll certainly know who to ask for it.)

Yours, TMN78247
