A Biden Landslide? Some Democrats Can’t Help Whispering (LOL)
The New York Times ^ | 10/21/2020 | Astead W. Herndon

Posted on 10/21/2020 9:56:11 AM PDT by MAGA2017

MACON, Ga. — President Trump held a rally in Georgia on Friday, 18 days before the November general election. It wasn’t a good sign for him.

That Mr. Trump is still campaigning in what should be a safely Republican state — and in others that should be solidly in his column like Iowa and Ohio — is evidence to many Democrats that Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s polling lead in the presidential race is solid and durable. Mr. Trump spent Monday in Arizona, too, a state that was once reliably Republican but where his unpopularity has helped make Mr. Biden competitive.

For some Democrats, Mr. Trump’s attention to red states is also a sign of something else — something few in the party want to discuss out loud, given their scars from Mr. Trump’s surprise victory in 2016. It’s an indication that Mr. Biden could pull off a landslide in November, achieving an ambitious and rare electoral blowout that some Democrats think is necessary to quell any doubts — or disputes by Mr. Trump — that Mr. Biden won the election.

On one level, such a scenario is entirely plausible based on the weeks and the breadth of public polls that show Mr. Biden with leads or edges in key states.

That’s what I believe and you believe. Doesn’t mean we’re right.

Nobody posted this one yet, so I will remind everyone of that day four years ago when I was sitting in the dentist’s office and read this:

October 26—14 point Hillary lead!

You can’t make up this s^%t!

Lefties better start hiring tort attorneys now—they need to get ready to sue the NYT for causing their nervous breakdown on election night.

“President Trump is there to pull the gop senators over the finish line.”

This is a sad statement. If GOP Senators are depending on Trump to drag them over the line it suggests there is something seriously wrong with the quality and performance of these Senators. If Senators are representing the interests of their voters, and staying connected with the electorate, they should be winning with a greater margin of votes than President Trump. Something is fundamentally wrong with the candidates the GOP is running.

Didn’t the idea of campaigning in safe states used to be that this helped down ticket races????

I mean, they begged Hillary to do this for congressional races, didn’t’ they? I also remember Obama doing safe campaign stops to help down ticket races?

Or did the meme change when Trump started doing it?

True... most of these senators have absolutely no charisma and do not like to be in front of their constituents or let alone be on TV to build their profiles.

they allow themselves to be defined as generic placeholders, who inspire no one (McSally, Collins, Ernst, Tillis, etc)

notable exceptions like John James in MI

Summation of article:

Trump campaigns in blue states, Biden landslide.
Trump campaigns in red states, Biden landslide.

Conclusion: Trump doesn’t campaign in ANY states...he’s going to win.

Got it.

its called GET OUT THE VOTE (GOTV) this was planned all along.
This is a BASE election. GWB did the same thing in 04, and went to deep red areas down the stretch. Wait till you see where he goes between now and election day.

I look at the Trump event schedule daily. If he were going to deep red areas, he would not be hitting MI, WI, PA, FL...
