Tucker warns Trump 'could well lose' in November, says president must rediscover 'core appeal'
FoxNews ^ | 6-25-20 | Victor Garcia

Posted on 06/25/2020 10:06:04 PM PDT by NoLibZone

Tucker Carlson warned viewers Thursday that President Trump is facing an uphill battle for reelection and a victory for former Vice President Joe Biden would enable the "radicals who control" him to "remake the country."

Before laying out what Trump should do to boost his chances of winning a second term, Carlson recalled why millions voted for him in 2016.

"Alone among national leaders, Donald Trump warned Americans for decades about China and the perils of globalization. Everything about the war on coronavirus proved Donald Trump right," Carlson said. "China really is our main global adversary. The Chinese government really does want to take over the world. Meanwhile, the fact that we sent our manufacturing base abroad really has weakened us badly. The most powerful nation on earth no longer makes antibiotics. [We are] not as powerful as we think. All of that is very obvious now, after the pandemic, but Donald Trump called it.

"The core appeal of Trump," Carlson went on, "was if things ever started to fall apart, he would defend you. Yes, he was loud and crude. Most bodyguards are. Only a man like Donald Trump was tough enough to fight the creeping authoritarianism of the education cartel and corporate America.

What the hell are you talking about!? I watched it tonight on TV (Hannity). He was being Trump. No different. What a load of CRAP!

You posted a link that had a headline....

Trump Seemingly Tells Hannity That Biden Will Be President

I never seen "Seemingly" cause someone so much strife.

I posted FOX News video links to a thread that provided no link at all.

When you grow-up and make a forum you can tell me what to do there.

A Daily Beast link, at that. They twisted Trump’s mocking of Biden voters.

As others have told you...go peddle your leftist/Trump defeatism, elsewhere.

If you just wanted to ‘post an interview of our President talking to Sean Hannity on Fox News’....you could’ve EASILY posted a direct link, via Fox or YT, to the interview.....like I did, upthread, rather than linking to a DAILY BEAST Trump hit piece, on FR.

Tucker is playing cute with Trump, pretending Trump hasn’t said and done all the things Tucker is suggesting.

The problem with the claim that it’s all left wing push polls is that reliably conservative sources are coming up with roughly the same numbers. Yes, we have four months to turn things around. But there is nothing to be gained by denial of unpleasant facts. Trump is not doing well and if we don’t step up our game, November 3rd could be a good night for a bottle of cheap whiskey.

Uhh... I think it was sarcasm.

Trump is already in the White House.

No. It was very different. In 2016 the polls were never close to this bad. The last time I saw polling data (including from reliable conservative sources) this lopsided in June of a presidential election year was 1984.

Trump has had no support from the GOP they are pathetic. I heard them tonight talking about the president’s “tone”. They’re all afraid.

I think Trump is doing a sophisticated "Rope-A-Dope" as well as a classical "draw them into a salient then cut them off". The "Rope-A-Dope" was allowing the BLM and other protests to go full blast (seemingly). The left was all set to have their new Kent State moment in DC when their protestors about two weekends ago were going to have that "million man protest" at the White House threatening to overrun the grounds; by their estimation, Trump could use force -- proving himself to be a dictator, and "begging" Pelosi et al. to call in the UN for help, and to depose the OrangeMadManBad; or hide & run away, losing all credibility.

Trump let the air out of their tires BIGLY on that one.

First, there were published reports that there were infiltrators in National Guard garb--they were discovered because they had the wrong weapons; Trump holding back the miliary, and the National Guard, and furthermore, having the DOD order them to wear soft felt caps -- took away any possibility of false flags.

Second, Trump allowed he distribution of photos / short videos of some truly fearsome looking Secret Service Counter-Snipers walking along the mall with their weaponry -- the rifle the one guy was carrying looks like it would have punched holes in an Armored Personnel Carrier. (And doubtless the Secret Service knows, and has ways of keeping an eye on, all the good places for a sniper to hide, anywhere within say 1.5 miles of the Mall.)

Third, Trump flooded DC with armed CIVILIAN Federal Agents: those who require no permission whatsoever from State and/or Local Authorities to be there, or to effect arrests.

There were some curious videos surfacing, including one of a young woman on her knees with her hands up, while one of her cohorts in the middle distance is rather firmly shoved into a car by uniformed men. You can hear one of them telling the woman with her hands up, over her bleated protestations "Where are you taking her?" that "if you try to follow us we'll shoot you."

Supposedly, Attorney General Barr has arrested about 500 people nationwide among the rioters: and they are detained on FEDERAL charges, where the George Sore-Ass bought-and-paid mayors and DAs cannot intervene to let them go. It might even be the case that a goodly number of the arrests are among the more intelligent of the rioters, the street marshals, as it were, who rile up and direct the mobs. (Witness the two New York Lawyers, who went to Princeton and to Fordham Law in New York respectively, one of whom originally had her bail guaranteed by another lawyer who makes $250k or more a year, and who used to help to prepare the Presidential Daily Briefing for 0moeba. Bail rescinded. Ten years in the Federal pen will ruin you for anything except a cushy academic gig.)

But the other part of this is the "let them advance the encircle them". The mobs have overshot -- not only going after monuments paid for by freed slaves, but of abolitionists and of Cervantes (yes, that Cervantes) who had himself been a slave (yes, really. Think of the Barbary Pirates and Muslims capturing infidels...The Muslims came within a hair of overrunning *VIENNA*, _after_ the Pilgrims landed at Plymouh Rock.)

And of course, CHAZ/CHOP in Seattle. Insurrection, sure. And Trump let it form, grow, glow brightly, feed on itself, and burn out. He did not give it the dignity of a direct response, which is what the organizers were counting on to stay energized and mobilize further support. Instead, like most of the riots -- and like most of the worse COVID-19 effects -- it acted mainly on already deep-blue areas which weren't going to vote for President Trump anyway.

And the proof of all of this is the whispered conversations among formerly mildly-Dem-to-get-along, mostly-centrist people. "Where can I buy a gun?" Anyone who is buying a gun for the first time in their life, will not be in a hurry to vote for Kiddy Fondler Biden. Those who are adding to their firearms collection, even less so.

Only thing left for the Dems now, is vote-by-mail and INTERNATIONAL voter fraud. President Trump said this on the air on TV tonight: "What if China prints millions of ballots on the same paper and same machines as the states?"

Your trolling skills continue to fade.
TO work, trolling must bear at least a passing semblance to reality.

Oh, now you’re hurling insults?

When I grow up??

That’s when you know when lefties lose....when they resort to name calling and insults.

Again...and, finally, peddle your leftist defeatism stuff elsewhere.

We’re through, here.

Stop playing dumb or innocent or whatever is your game. You posted a link to a far left wing Trump hating site who decided to make their own headline and spin a comment POTUS said about people who would vote for Biden. He wasn’t sending a warning that he’s going to lose.

POTUS is anything but a man who talks and acts like a loser or potential losers. Especially in June.

you don’t feel like we’re winning because of the full on coup attempt going on and promoted by the media’s panic/crisis porn everyday.

Fair point. The media propaganda is a very big part of it. But that has always been true, and I've never been susceptible to that. Hopefully that's the case now, and I'm just growing weak in my old age.
