Michael Moore warns of 2016 repeat: Enthusiasm for Trump 'off the charts'

Filmmaker Michael Moore warned Democrats that President Trump appears to have momentum behind his reelection campaign in key battleground states, with the progressive activist saying "enthusiasm for Trump is off the charts" compared to Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Moore pointed to polling in battleground states such as Minnesota and Michigan in making the case that Trump was running alongside or ahead of Biden in key areas, setting himself up for another potential upset in November.

"Are you ready for a Trump victory? Are you mentally prepared to be outsmarted by Trump again? Do you find comfort in your certainty that there is no way Trump can win? Are you content with the trust you’ve placed in the DNC to pull this off?" Moore wrote in a Facebook post on Friday.

"I’m warning you almost 10 weeks in advance. The enthusiasm level for the 60 million in Trump’s base is OFF THE CHARTS! For Joe, not so much," he later added. "

This is pretty big. Michael Moore might be a leftwing kook, but he was one of the few to accurately predict a Trump victory in 2016. For all his flaws, he really does have a good instinct for what the white blue collar workers in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania are thinking. He's essentially saying the enthusiasm among this group for Trump is even greater than 2016.

As awesome as this sounds, we can't take too much comfort in it. The polling on November 3 is the only one that counts. VOTE!

Let me think about this for a minute.

We have a guy who has been a proven leader, a creator of jobs and is out campaigning and fighting for the people every day.

And then we have a guy with a 50 year track record of failure who is afraid to leave his basement.

Boy, tough choice.

I’m seeing a lot more support for Trump as well, but let’s not forget: The left is absolutely hellbent on winning either by election fraud or endless litigation or both. They REFUSE to lose this time. To quote the multiple felon who is above the law Hillary Clinton “Joe must NOT concede no matter what!” Also if these domestic terrorists take to the streets to threaten electors or others involved in the election process, we must ALSO take to the streets to defend them. We must not allow a coup to occur.

“...Are you mentally prepared to be outsmarted by Trump again?”

An unintended warning to Leftists own world-view. Maybe you aren’t as smart as you think?

Michael Moore is from Michigan working class stock yes?
He seems to get the working class far more than most of the fake news media in Manhattan who think the the world begins and ends in New York.

I have yet to see one Biden bumper sticker anywhere and I live about 60 miles north of DeBlasio City.

Trump stuff all over the place and there are plenty of libs up here.

The Democrats nominated a corpse.

Even the boorish Michael Moore is sufficiently astute to read the handwriting on the wall.

“Mene mene tekel upharsin” refers to a warning of inevitable misfortune, and it may be seen by many on the left as just that.

But what may be misfortune for them, is only good news and benedictions for the rest of us.

Yep, but they don’t care, they said they refuse to concede this election no matter what. They are going to do everything they can to force Biden on us. If Trump wins they are going to say he cheated thru the Post office, incite their base to riot, and litigate the hell out of it in every county across the country. Biden has 600 lawyers all lined up

Even if Biden and his Commie party only got one vote, that would be one too many for my taste

The enthusiasm level for the 60 million in Trump’s base is OFF THE CHARTS!

Well, that's close. Actually, the Base's (our) enthusiasm is OFF THE CHARTS X 100!

For Joe, not so much," he later added. "

That's because any enthusiasm for Slow Joe is tempered with the FEAR created by the Dem's approval (tacit and explicit) for antifa and blm marxist disruptions and disorder.

Black Lives, as it happens, want a robust police department. Who want's to live in fear?

Most "enthusiasm" for Joe is wholly manufactured, and does not come from within.

It’s not about a choice. It’s about being far enough ahead to nullify the cheating. And being far enough ahead in the right states, districts.

I think that’s what the dem panic is

Every once in a while this idiot stumbles on the truth.

Not to be nit-picky, but he's calling a Trump victory a "potential upset". Do you really believe it would be an upset for a sitting president to lose re-election? A president that has accomplished soooo many things, including most of what he ran on in 2016?

Yup. In a fair election Trump would win easily.

But with the vote early, vote often deal it takes a lot to overcome that.

It's not that "enthusiam" is "off the charts"...it's that respect for,and trust in,the President is strong and unwavering.

The Tub of Lard multi millionaire (net worth $50 million) is trying to equate this to some MTV online poll.It's far more serious than that.
