Donald Trump 2019

Again, everyone ignores turnout.

If he gets 90% of the 40%, because cultists have fucking enthusiasm, and the remaining 60% turn out at our usual pathetic 55% or so, we lose.

We will lose.  We've already lost.  We have fucking homegrown terrorism murdering people here in our country furthering an ideology courted and championed by the governing political party.  That's game-over, people.  Fuck this fucking country.  We're a shithole, we did it to ourselves, and we deserve every bit of the pain and blood that's happening and what's more, the huge amount that is yet to come.  We managed to look back on a century of progress, and reach the inexplicable conclusion of "fuck that shit, let's be even WORSE."  A country that does that does not deserve to survive as a going concern.

lol. Never stop being you. I'm actually with you to an extent. I think if we don't see a recession, Trump is probably going to win again. But if a recession hits, he's screwed. Beyond losing independent pocketbook voters, that will depress turnout on his side.

there will be nothing like 1.5x turnout for the tards over the humans.  2018 out front should have told ya.

Most Trump supporters would follow him over a cliff and blame the Dems for it.   But there is a significant number of people who support him purely out of perceived economic self-interest, even while recognizing that he's a piece of shit.   They're even worse humans than his idiot cultists, but they could potentially abandon him. 

One subgroup of them won't because they don't want to pay increased taxes at any cost. But I think there's a subgroup that credits Trump with the current economy and will blame him if it collapses.

The economy is their cover.  "I mean, he says bad things on Twitter, and I wish he wouldn't, but the economy is great."

Bullshit  -- they get to say "I wish he wouldn't say bad things" because they have the "but the economy is great" clause to excuse their support for him.  But the truth is, they LIKE the shit he says, they AGREE with the shit that he says, and they LOVE that they can point to the economy to hide their true fucking evil.  When the economy goes south, they'll still support him.  Because guess fucking what -- they really DON'T have a problem with the shit he says.  They LIKE IT.

Quit believing that every one of these people isn't scum.  It's a waste of your time, and is embarrassingly naive.

Yep.

I mean everyone forgets how razor thin the margins were last time. We don't need large swaths of the population to flip from 2016. We need a few thousand here and a few thousand there. Contrary to popular belief on message boards and Twitter, there are people who voted for Trump (or stayed home) who can be flipped.

Today is the economy. 

When the economy craps out, it will be because of "the judges." 

When/if Gorsuch or Kavanaugh doesn't do something they like on something monumental, it will be "well, he's not Hillary." 

There will always be a reason why they can excuse his shitty behavior.

I'm not saying they aren't scum.   Just the opposite:  if you are in on the racism and lies and autocracy purely for personal economic advantage, you are a worse human being than the complete idiots who have been hoodwinked.

But that doesn't mean that they will stick with Trump no matter what.   Just as easily as they joined him, they'll abandon him if they think it benefits them financially. That won't make them good people, but it could impact the election.

You get it.

Stop thinking of Trump supporters as voters.  They're not.  They are cultists.  Trumpism has goddamned near every hallmark of a cult.  Ask yourself "what would a cultist do?", and you'll know what a Trumpkin would do.

the huge amount that is yet to come.  

Brisket isn’t being hyperbolic here.  There is much more to come.  We saw this coming years ago, we were mocked as being crazy and hysterical.  I know it will get much worse because as the literal bodies are piling up by the day, we are still being mocked as crazy and hysterical by the posters on the other boards that choose to ignore the violence and the reasons behind them that have been staring us in the face since Trump came down the escalator.  

The shooter in El Paso was 16 years old when Trump announced he was running for president. He knows only Trump’s America.  There are many more of him currently in production.  This happened because of the choices our society made to elevate Trump to lead us and the subsequent decisions made by our other leaders to keep him in power.   

However, I choose to remain an optimist.  We will get through this, but I’m not under any illusions.  A very heavy price will be paid in the loss of more lives.  

The frustration and rage I share with Brisket is there’s not much more I can do except try to lead a better life and scream into the void praying the enabling bystanders wake up and soon.

Blah blah blah - Trump will be on the ballot this time, etc. - but remember, Democrats and Republicans were almost equally enthusiastic to vote in 2018 (with Trump off the ballot).  It will remain the same in 2020.  

Arizona: Democrats outvoted Republicans 50.37-48.66
Pennsylvania: Democrats outvoted Republicans 55.03-44.75
Michigan: Democrats outvoted Republicans 52.33-44.65
Wisconsin: Democrats outvoted Republicans 53.18-45.61

Regardless of the data and indicators, I think the messaging strategy from here on out should one of playing from behind, way behind.  Because we are so far behind right now we can’t even see the finish line.  No more complacency or comfort statistics to give us a false sense of security.

AZ is what the national press is missing.  There was a YUGE shift there between 2016 and 2018 to the point they elected a bisexual atheist to the Senate.  Fast forward to 2020 and they'll be voting against McSally (again) and a top notch candidate in Kelly.  

[Hank Kingsley 20635]

The fact is it will take an extraordinary amount of political discipline to defeat Trump in 2020. 

The Russia "collusion" angle has always been and will continue to be a huge error strategy-wise. I won't argue the merits of their interference, but looking to external factors to assign blame is a massive fuckup. We, as Americans, created this mess. We somehow allowed a know conman to get withing cheating distance (to borrow from Buttigieg) of the Presidency. 

We have to look within and say enough is enough. We fucked up our country and now we have to fix it. 100% of the focus should be on Trump and the GOP sabotaging any efforts to make effective change. Gain control of the Senate and the House, win the Presidency, remove the filibuster, and get to work.

It's amazing to me.   I still think of Arizona as the place that had Jan Brewer and implemented that awful papers please law a short while ago.  Still, they have a GOP governor.

40% + the folks who are juuust smart enough to not publicly admit to being traitors and who will pull the lever for R no matter what + foreign interference (with the current and active encouragement of Rs) + vote fixing by crooked Rs + R voter suppression of democratic voters = easy “win” for Trump

The GOP spent more energy proactively muddying the waters with conspiracy theories and nonsense in order to drown out all the smoking guns that were uncovered in a non-political investigation conducted by...Republicans. 

The error by the democrats is they were cowards. They needed to crank their rhetoric up to eleven, take the media by the balls, call out the bullshit, raise some fucking hell and give no quarter to the horse shit coming out of the White House because the truth was on their side.  They got played instead because they allowed themselves to get played.  No one wanted to lead any kind of meaningful fight among the democrats because that would involve political risk.  They failed us just as much as the Jeff Flakes and Paul Ryans.

The media dropped the ball on Russia.  They kept looking for collusion and smoking guns to get Trump because that’s where the interest was.  It’s also the narrative Trump kept driving them to cover.  

The media failed on Russia because they missed the bigger and more meaningful part of the story.  The Russian interference itself was ALWAYS the bigger story.  If you remember my focus on Russia was the part most neglected by the media.  The Active Measures, cyber subversive, and propaganda was where I spent most of my time on Russia.  

The attack itself, learning about the tactics, and how to defend against it was WAY more important to the preservation of our democracy than any collusion Trump may have had.  The media got distracted on this because Trump distracted everyone by acting crazy and guilty as fuck obstructing justice nearly every day.

My grandmother has no problem with the coloreds. Now go help yourself at the candy and nut bowl, grab yourself a delicious nigger toe and sit and visit awhile.

The fact that you think it was Trump's strategy and he out-4D chessed us is laughable

It wasn’t trump’s strategy.  It was the GOP’s strategy.  They’re the cold blooded mercenary professionals at this shit.  Don’t ever forget the people that built the indestructible GOP machine since Nixon are all still there standing right next to Trump protecting him.
