Nervous Republicans See Trump Sinking, and Taking Senate With Him
New York Times via Yahoo News ^ | April 26, 2020 | Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s erratic handling of the coronavirus outbreak, the worsening economy and a cascade of ominous public and private polling have Republicans increasingly nervous that they are at risk of losing the presidency and the Senate if Trump does not put the nation on a radically improved course.

The scale of the GOP’s challenge has crystallized in the last week. With 26 million Americans now having filed for unemployment benefits, Trump’s standing in states that he carried in 2016 looks increasingly wobbly: New surveys show him trailing significantly in battleground states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, and he is even narrowly behind in must-win Florida.

Democrats raised substantially more money than Republicans did in the first quarter in the most pivotal congressional races, according to recent campaign finance reports. And while Trump is well ahead in money compared with the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, Democratic donors are only beginning to focus on the general election, and several super political action committees plan to spend heavily on behalf of him and the party.

Perhaps most significantly, Trump’s single best advantage as an incumbent — his access to the bully pulpit — has effectively become a platform for self-sabotage.

Okay, sure.

You show up, after two years of MIA from FR to post your trash Trump post?

You sound just like the lefties on Twitter with this drivel.

You are a RINO, at best.

Take another long leave.

Not in this foxhole, thank you.

Watch! This is the New York Times suggesting that Trump is sinking in popularity which is adverse to the fact. This is what Trump was refering to when he talked about ‘FAKE NEWS’. The New York Times is getting more awful by the day.

It’s April. Be concerned if things are not improved on Labor Day.

The idiots at the New York Times have been talking to Bill Krystol and other nutcases again? Do they ever tire of putting out the same lies for almost four years?

Yep...they’re nervous that POTUS ISN’T sinking, in spite of all the crud they’ve thrown at him, day after day, 24/7.

A NEW YORK SLIMES news article via Yahoo?

That's akin to ordering a large stack of POISON PANCAKES for breakfast.

Life Hack:

Punk b**ch = useful idiot.

So where do you draw the line? Republishing lies or propaganda makes you the same as CNN or the NYT. Why quote them if you don’t endorse them?
PS..thanks for your original response.

So the White House is changing the briefings per Politico and other news sources. I am saying this because there had to be changes the atmosphere was getting really bad and to the average “Joe” things look bad even though they are good. The animosity of the press is not understood by Joe sixpack.

(This is all I was saying that the meetings have to change because the content is really turning off people and I will post the link to the article below but the White House press secretary has also told Fox News there had to be changes.)

>>President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again coronavirus briefing is back on, the White House announced Monday, a reversal of course that came hours after the administration canceled its previously scheduled afternoon press conference.

The White House’s waffling on Monday’s briefing followed a Fox News interview with press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who teased that the administration’s coronavirus briefings “may have a different look” this week.<<
