People are increasingly tired of the non-stop attacks against our President and polls show that too. Who polls LOWEST of all? The Democratic Party. Lower than Republicans. Lower than Trump. Even nearly half of Democrats now say the Democratic Party no longer represent them or in interested in their needs. People generally don't like malcontent whiners and complainers. The Democratic Party offers exactly NOTHING positive to anyone. They only tell everyone the hate, everyone they declare they are claim to be superior to, and non-stop attack the USA, Americans and our president. Democratic tacticians are extra stupid. They do not grasp that it does not matter what the general thinks, only what VOTERS think. If the election were tomorrow, polls would be showing the Democrat more popular among the general public as that includes THE most uneducated and non-politically interested people of all - but Trump would win again because it is voters - and where they are located - that matters. Non-voters, voters in California and New York are essentially irrelevant. To calculate a presidential candidate, you have to erase all those from polling.
Yes but it could mean he doesn't win them by enough to still win the state. Maybe we really do need a voter competency test
Although it unquestionable that Hilary Clinton would like him to be a gunshot to the head like so many other people who threatened her politically, it is unlikely her hit team can get to the President. It is legal for you to fantasize of a violent death to the President as you do in your message, but posting it doesn't help your team. Best keep it to yourself and to discussions with hyperventilating hysterical panic-attack Democrats in private discussions.
The Don spotted Hillary 84 electoral votes. He GAVE her NY and California, and still beat the pants off her. That was a shellacking.
Listen hard...the counties that voted for the POTUS would do so again. He won something like 99% of the counties. He would do so again.
The DNC would go absolutely hysterical over a competency text. Without high school dropouts the Democratic Party would, at best, qualify as a 3rd party. The Democratic Party is entirely dependent upon the 2 most uneducated demographics: blacks and Latinos.
And it's possible he'd win the same counties and lose. Go read how the electoral college works and stop embarrassing yourself.
Doing contortions to try to rationalize bad poll numbers, that's your mistake. It is no different than all the times CNN used the electoral map to show Clinton could not be stopped. The ONLY flaw in the reasoning? It was wrong. That Trump is holding his key counties speaks for itself. Your contortions to try to prove that does not assure winning a state is both obvious but a contortion. Trump's core support is holding firm. At this point in time that is all he needs to do. His re-election, if he runs, is over 3 years away. At this stage all that matters is keeping his core support. So additionally your analysis is overly simplistic. Any incumbent roller coasters in polls and it likely essential to do so. Mid-election season what matters is keeping your core of support. Trying to also have the middle ground can cost a negative price when the election comes for lackluster core support - which is what Hilary Clinton had - lackluster core Democrat support though big general numbers.
Perhaps that's all true, but it DOES matter how much he wins a county by. Being at 51% in a county he got 70% in would cost him a lot of voters in those states
Yes, it is pretty depressing that a majority of the national population hating our president doesn't matter because we have to make some tiny towns where no one lives feels special.
Depressed perfectly describes Democrats. Losing all that political power during the Obama era must be depressing.
Romney and McCain both stupidly listened to the MSM and Democrats telling them how to campaign - to move to the middle and even the left. Doing so cost them both the most militant Republican core of supporters, who will work like dogs if the REALLY believe in a candidate - and will only themselves vote if they don't. There is a saying in persuasion that is true. If you say something and it does not absolutely infuriate someone, you said nothing at all. Politics isn't about being acceptable to most people. It is a love-hate battle in which more people who matter love you than people who matter that hate you - and WHO hates you and why most important all. The right enemies help a candidate - more than anything else does. That is a concept too complicated for simple people to understand. Trump not only needed diehard supporters, he also needed diehard haters to win. Those who so furiously ranted against him probably got him more votes than those who ranted for him. Erase the BLM riots. Erase the ranting that police are murderers of black people. Erase protesting Latinos. Erase constant calling him a racist. Erase calling him homophobic for not supporting trans rights in regards to women's bathrooms. Erase ranting he's a bigot for opposing mass Muslim immigration. And erase Hollywood limousine liberals ranting against him? Trump wouldn't have won. His haters more defined him positively to people than his supporters. He understood that. He openly sought out ranting haters because they are who most defined him positively where the votes most counted. At this stage, the 24/7 ranting hatred towards him assures he keeps his critical core support. It is the ranting Democrat partisans on this forum who more help him than us Trump supporters - because in those areas and demographic groups that matter? They oppose YOU and what you want and demand. But, then, you both non-stop declare openly your hatred of them, hatred of Trump supporters with every ugly name you can think of, don't you? Does this go over your head?
