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. "

YEP! We have a businessman in the White House! NOT A POLITICIAN! He loves our country and knows the citizenry hasn’t been served well for decades.

We laughed when he announced his candidacy in 2016 - FIRM Cruz supporters. THEN, he started saying things that NO ONE else said that WE were thinking.

So glad he beat the BEAST! PRAYing the protestors paid for by Soros/Gates don’t steal this one.

The Rat Party Fraud Machine will concentrate on three states that the President carried narrowly in ‘16...FL,PA and MI.If they can flip those states it’s President LegsUpHigh at this time next year.

“”””We laughed when he announced his candidacy in 2016 -”””

I cheered. I get how he functions. I have no time for lifelong politicians who only do what they have to in order to get elected the next time.

While, IMO, “Sloppy” Moore is basically prodding Rat voter turnout; there is now starting to surface some lefty media concern that the riots are hurting Biden in the very important public safety/law & order categories. The Rat mouthpieces, Shields and Brooks, on PBS last night were concerned about this. That surprised me.

It was not immediately clear what polling Moore was referring to. CNN released a national poll earlier this month that did find Biden's lead over Trump had narrowed compared to the previous month, with Biden leading Trump by 4 points, 50 percent to 46 percent. But that did not focus exclusively on battleground states.

Michael Moore doesn't need 'polls' he has eyes and can see. Moore called it four years ago too...

Democrats and their butt boys in the press don't know what's going on with the American people unless they hire focus groups, pollsters or open the 'news packets' democrats send them...

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.

Excellent...

Whatever one might think if Moore personally, he has this impression because he actually knows and talks to working- and middle-class people. Which the majority of the elitist media and the fat cats and heavy movers who are in charge of the DNC do not. It should never be a mystery to any political figure what the people comprising that much of the vote are thinking, and it is consistently for the ones who can’t be bothered to go and ask the people around them. It isn’t hard to find that exotic creature who belongs to the middle class and has a mortgage and a job and dental bills for the kids. We’re all over the place.

Most "enthusiasm" for Joe is wholly manufactured

That's the sole function the propaganda branch of the CommiecRAT party.

AKA: ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NYT and the rest.

Middle class, actually, but yes. He’s from a suburb of Flint.

You are correct the left will try their best to steal the election. But what I think they are doing is setting up their ‘true believers’ to buy into another four years of ‘he's really did not win’ and hope whomever runs after President Trump will be tainted.

My thoughts. . . I think that irregardless of the “Vote by Mail Scam” there are already enough electoral votes in the bag that on election night the race can be called by the electoral collage count. Who cares that states like CA, NY and Bumfu*k count until the cows come home. Election is over once you hit 270 EV.

Keep the faith

mikey is morbidly obese, and a greedy capitalist, that wants socialism for others, but he is not stupid.

The left will not listen to him, because they won't face reality.

Well not a tough choice for either of us. But there are at least a solid 40-45 million people in this country (likely more) that will vote Democrat in November NO MATTER WHAT.

The Dems could be running the hate-filled Bette Midler as president and still their base will come out to eagerly vote a straight Democrat ticket.

So Joe Biden is not really the opponent here. He's just a placeholder. Should he win, he'll be a puppet anyhow as the radical Left will have the real power.

All the rest of us simply have to do is get out and vote. It may not seem like it sometimes but we still outnumber them. Unfortunately a lot of potential Trump voters stayed home in 2016. Maybe they didn't think he had a chance to win. Maybe they didn't like his tweets. Maybe they were turned off by the Hollywood Access tape. Whatever the reason, millions of potential Trump voters stayed home that year and we won just the same. This year, we are going to need all hands on deck.

We have a “Biden corner” where there are a few signs in one CT exurb.

That is all the Biden signs I have seen.

The only Trump signs up this way are well out in the country where it is safe to display them. (The lefties couldn’t even find these very rural areas on a map. :-) )

Joeseph Biden has decided to send the enthusiasm of his supporters into the basement, where he resides and campaigns, isolated from the possibility of contaminating any ballots with Democrat votes.

I was shocked to see a Trump sign last weekend in Danbury, CT. Also by Candlewood Lake, there is a house flying a Trump flag. Have seen a few Biden signs but not nearly like it was four years ago when Hillary signs were everywhere.

I put a Trump sign in my yard four years ago and it lasted two days before somebody stole it. I then replaced it and it was gone the next morning. So that sucks, that there is so much intolerance from the other side. I now live in a condo complex where no political signs are allowed at all. Which is fine by me because my neighborhood will at least be free of Biden signs as well.

So when Trump wins will this fat bastard and all the other socialist Hollywood pukes finally move out of America the way they promised?
