Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

How many Trumpers are still motivated to come out and vote vs how many people upset with Trump are going to vote.

Republicans are motivated. Every poll has indicated as much. Trump is an obsession. They won't abandon him or leave him hanging. All the numbers indicate Democrats are more motivated than Republicans, but Republicans are not having the energy lull that is typically associated with the party in power during the first midterm.

The difference is independents. They favored Trump in 2016 but now have shifted against him.

Democrats will need to win the House popular vote by at least 7-8 points to take control. That is quite the ask. As Nate Silver wrote a year ago, the Republican majority due to gerrymandering is built to withstand a lot of water

Kasich is not a right wing extremist. He was my favorite Republican during the 2016 primaries. But he is too moderate and normal to win a nomination in that party right now. They want the lies and the attacks on the press. Roy Cohn must be cherishing every moment of this. It's the world he wanted while he was alive.

Kristol is a neocon and is now appearing on CNN and elsewhere opposing Trump. He has helped fund pro-Mueller commercials recently.

Like Hillary was an obsession, right? First women. Husband was a 2 term President. Never lied while once as a Senator. Never treated the Secret Service like dogs. Yeah, she should have won alright.

Not at all a dem so this advice I know they won’t listen to (which is fantastic for me) but if I were them I would focus on giving alternatives to his policies for the next election. Anything else is a distraction.

I agree actually but by doing that the Dems risk losing existing support from a good chunk that want the country to be more left, so why do it? Specially when Trump is already ensuring an awesome turnout from the left.

Why does a candidate have to be far right or far left? We’ve painted ourselves as red or blue in this country for too long.

If that’s the case then either the party is in big trouble or they have to find common ground.

For my sanity far left needs to go. I can handle the Obama’/Biden of the world (though I don’t agree with them). They aren’t terribly ridiculous.

Donald Trump told 72% lies during the 2016 campaign, as measured by Politico and all the fact checking services. It was beyond unprecedented. The average is 29% and Hillary was lower than typical at 24%.

Yet you had people actually believing the 72% liar was telling the truth. That's what sad shape the country is in right now. The same types responsible for the flat earth and fake moon landing garbage around here are willing to be spoon fed lie after lie, as long as it sources from their side of the political aisle.

In 50-100 years Donald Trump will be viewed as one of the worst Americans of all time. It can't evolve any other way. Lies, hate, fear, bigotry and divisiveness can't prosper long term. The current generation of Americans who are supporting Trump and all his lies will be viewed as pathetic, the opposite of the greatest generation. Deplorable will be a far kinder term than history will assign.

So go ahead and enjoy it, or try to pretend Hillary was somehow worse. It has no basis in reality, just like all those Looney Tunes at Trump rallies who sport Q shirts and imagine all types of evil conspiracies behind every rock and every rustling tree. Grab that shotgun, honey.

Here is a great symbolic portrait of the Republican Party right now. Propped by old scared white men amidst their last tortured thoughts:

Long watch but it's eery that Rod Serling and Twilight Zone were so far ahead of their time:

It's kind of sad when what should be obvious satire is indistinguishable from our current reality.

I will give Trump credit that he is much better at motivating his base than Obama was.

Obama didn't have the stomach to attack and divide people.

Trump relishes it.

Trump's base will vote.

But that base is not growing.

The plan still seems to be to attack Hillary, who is out of the picture already.

It's much easier to motivate anti-Trump people because Trump is in office and their vote can constrain what he can do.

There is no tangible enemy for Trump supporters. But that won't stop them from fabricating one.

Mueller has about four weeks to release some kind of report on the investigation before it is considered too close to the election to do so.

After that, there would have to be a leak or some breaking development for the public to receive any update.

It is a sad development to see Trump supporters wearing shirts that say they would rather be Russian than Democrat.

Truly anti-American.

I would like to see the Republican party saved.

Wow! How quickly history is forgotten and rewritten!

Obama was a community agitator. We made him President and we got an agitated country. Obama missed THE opportunity to heal the racial wounds in this country and all he did was stick a knife in and twist it. What an absolute waste.

And what is the Orange Buffoon doing to heal those supposed wounds? You continue to be the most delusional person on this board.

In recognition of your penchant for taking things out of context, I've taken the liberty of adding the link back to the quoted post.

He's stoking the economy which has led to historically low unemployment for blacks and Hispanics.

Again, sympathizing with those who hate old white men and look forward to their death, just like that human debris hired by the NYT.

Do you understand what you have become?

Is there anyone on the Left pushing back against the genocidal hatred of old white men?

If there anyone on the Left with a shred of decency left? Help me find it. I can't see it.

So let's assume that's true, that his efforts have helped them.

His words sure are not encouraging those to groups to vote to support him.

But whites in Iowa are suffering some set backs because of his trade policies.

Any rhetoric that black and Hispanic unemployment are trending down isn't going to comfort those Iowans that voted for Trump.

Do you think your posts are recruiting minorities to vote for Trump?

Or getting white liberals to think Trump is helping?

Stick with pumping up your base and hoping for voter suppression of the opposition.

That's Trump's best winning formula.

Actually they are. During the campaign he said many times that he Hispanics and minorities would love him because he would bring back jobs. There is some evidence that minority support for Trump is ticking upward because of this.

The Truth is that Trump has not been racist. The Left keeps selling that lie, and if minorities start seeing through the lie then Dems are going to be in a lot of trouble.
