Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Repbublicans in Sout Carolina planning to vote for Bernie in that state's open primary.

Because they wish to continue proving that there is no honor in the Repub party

and

Because it is 100% obvious that Bernie is a weak candidate against trump.

Stop supporting Bernie, Dems. Stop.

Obviously if they did not condone his behavior the least they would be doing would be to support an opponent in the Republican primary.

Republicans are drunk on power right now.

It's all a pump on the base, not expand the base mode. Not even an ounce of effort towards unity.

We will have to see how the demographics have shifted the last four years.

The state of the union is not union at all.

Every 4 years I think the State of the Union is likely the most partisan and vitriolic ever - but every successive State of the Union manages to be even more partisan and even more vitriolic than ever. Just embarrassing what our legislative bodies have become.

Nothing better than watching democrat pieces of trash continue to have meltdowns!!!!

Democrats will be rounded up and charged with treason!!!!

Patriotic Americans will rejoice!!!!

I actually agree with you on that even though I mostly agree with his platform.

What happens if he has another heart attack?

He could have one soon, and I think that hurt his primary campaign.

Or if he wins the nomination, he could have a heart attack before the general election, and that would ensure Trump's reelection.

Bernie is going full bucket list here.

So is Joe and Michael.

These old codgers won't let it go.

This, I hope they get punished for turning their backs on 54% of the country

If he did have a heart attack before the general election, the Dems could bring back Hillary to replace him (though they would have to keep her upright with a bollard supporting her).

Good thing we have DJT to protect these vast government social programs from the socialists.

James Carville sounds the alarm as Sanders surges in primary: 'I'm scared to death' for Democratic Party

Democratic strategist James Carville expressed his concerns as the Democratic primary race is officially underway, saying he's "scared to death" of the direction his party is going.

Appearing on MSNBC, Carville began by pointing to the success Democrats had during the 2018 midterm elections and stressed that it "matters" who the candidates are and what the party chooses to talk about.

"I'm 75 years old, why am I here doing this? Because I'm scared to death, that's why," Carville exclaimed. "Let's get relevant here ... all the Sanders people are taking pictures wishing Jeremy Corbyn the best. ... I don't want to go down that path."

MSNBC ANCHOR NICOLLE WALLACE SAYS TRUMP IS 'THE ENEMY' IN FIERY RANT TO UNITE DEMS

The former Clinton advisor slammed the press corps for going "AOC crazy" over its coverage of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and pointed to more moderate candidates like former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who he noted "got a lot of votes" in Iowa.

"We've got to decide what we want to be. Do we want to be an ideological cult? Or do we want to have a majoritarian instinct to be a majority party?" Carville continued. "What we need is power, you understand? That's what this is about. Without power, you have nothing. You just have talking points."

Carville, who previously endorsed Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., for president, insisted that Democratic donors "will not give a popsicle to the DNC" with the current state of the 2020

yeah

millions of berners think anyone but bernie or maybe warren are just corporatist stooges.

They'd rather have trump than someone they view as a traitor to the left.

not a good situation.

Easy question. If he has another heart attack then vice president Stacy Abrams takes over.

Nobody is a weak candidate against trump.

Nobody is going to change their mind about the president. Either you love him or you want him gone. It absolutely does not matter who the Democratic nominee is. The only thing that matters is turnout.

Nicolle Wallace is a former Republican and a Bush advisor, not a former Clinton advisor. She campaigned for McCain/Palin.

She is an example of someone who has been driven away from the Republican party by Trump.

As far as people switching parties, that is the direction most have gone since Trump took office.

Trump had one good day in November 2016 and since then Republicans have had mostly bad days with the exception of close wins in Florida.

The "former Clinton advisor" was for Carville = not for Nicole Wallace.

The next few weeks are going to be interesting. Does it really matter if Biden does better in South Carolina than Bernie? Dems are never going to win the southern states in a general election anyway. So maybe it's unimportant how well the individual Dems do in the south.

A generic Democrat should be able to win Democratic strongholds just as Trump is going to easily win Wyoming, Alabama, Mississippi, places like that.

Dems need a candidate that can beat Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Arizona. Florida may be a bridge too far. I'm far more interested in the primaries in those states.

In case anyone was enamored by Tiny's pledge to plant trees, this needs to be put in perspective. From Grist.org:

It's extremely important that we do well in Georgia. We are filling both senate seats this time around.

Georgia has turned into a purple state. If it's remotely possible to turn the state blue, we need to do it now.

It makes sense. If the nominee is good enough to help the down ballot races, clearly that's a win even if the state's electoral votes aren't needed for victory.

Nancy was pitch perfect.

It's game on and Democrats are woke to the max.

I wouldn’t have done what she did, but she showed she doesn’t support Mr trash for cash. She should take the gloves off going into Nov. there are no moderate republicans left to appease, the left just needs to unite and take him out.

The words "left" and "unite" cannot be used in the same sentence with honest people.

this is true, sorta

it's true that the Dem won't win Confederate states so who does well down there is academic. Except for NC and GA. And maybe TX. Which starts to get you thinking that it might be nice to force the Rs to play defense on their home turf. Would distract them and cost them money and time.

it's false because of the black vote. Whether 100k black voters show up in Philly, Milwaukee and Detroit show up,,,might decide the election. Probably a good idea to have a candidate who has worked on his or her campaign among black southern voters and knows what to do to drive turnout in that group.
