Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

POD - how did you just pop in here???

If you want to compare the 2010 midterms to the 2018 midterms for the House:

2010

Dems got 39 million votes.

Repubs got 45 million votes

2018

Dems got 60 million votes

Repubs got 50 million votes

Democrats picked up more than 20 million votes!

And for more reference:

2016

Dems got 62 m

Rep got 63 m

And even more reference:

2012

Dems got a bit under 60 m

Repub got a bit over 58 m - but Repubs won more seats because of how districts are drawn

2014 was 40-35 Rs over Ds

So, 2018 was a really large turnout for a midterm

2020 will have massive turnout.

I don't think there are enough Republicans in the country country to keep up.

Even in those swing states.

Trump's only chance is having a large amount of sore losers of voters for their Dem candidate that don't get the nod.

Someone like Agip skipping the election if Bernie gets it or a Bernie Bro skipping if Biden gets it.

Had not seen that before, thanks for sharing.

This completely misses the point I was making and some of the numbers don't even look right, like the 2016 ones for instance. It doesn't matter though. We can sit here all day and wax poetic over future polling results but I'd rather shoot myself. Good luck with your predictions

I am not going to respond to most of this, but your opinion comment is bogus. Opinions for sure can be wrong. Several people have the opinion that the Earth is flat. You didn't state an opinion anyway. You stated something as a fact - "A strong economy is when everyone is happy, not just a majority or select few." That is simply not true.

"The earth is flat" is a factual assertion, not an opinion. It is wrong, but that doesn't make it an opinion.

"Hillary is going to win 100%" is a factual assertion, not an opinion.

Here's a great video for Trump on how to learn proper English etiquette.

Looks like we need to find the twitter version of proper English etiquette as well for him.

#StrongerThanHate #StrongerThanAnger

He should try to be nicer to people. He should pat himself on the head and take 6 deep breathes and go to his happy place like in Happy Gilmore.

I first heard about this during the impeachment hearings. It was all blowing up in Ohio and he was pretending nothing was happening. Based on his aggressive lying and scolding tactics during impeachment, I can only imagine how fiercely he must have intimidated the victim.

That comparison really misses Racket's point. One of the things that has been repeatedly pointed out is that the out-of-power party almost always gets a high voter turnout in the mid-terms and they tend to gain quite a few seats in the house. Your 2010 v 2018 comparison simply reinforces this idea.

it's not just turnout or seats gained - it's margin.

although as always, dems cluster in the cities so the effect is muddled.

But 2018 was NOT just another midterms. It just wasn't.

"Democrats took control of the House this year with the largest midterms margin of victory in history, surpassing the previous record of 8.7 million votes in 1974, according to NBC News election data.

By the numbers: Democratic House candidates currently have an 8,805,130 vote lead over Republicans, gaining 53.1% of the more than 111 million votes cast nationwide compared to the GOP's 45.2%, according to the data. The House flipped 41 seats during the 2018 election cycle, and could flip another if California Democratic candidate T.J. Cox, who has overtaken Republican incumbent David Valadao, ultimately wins the state's 21st district."

Continue pressing your completely false narrative.

But this wasn't the question. The question is whether you will tell other moderates that they are responsible for Trump winning the election and whether you will excoriate them the way you did people who didn't vote for H. Clinton?

It's a simple question, but not one person has answered it. Everybody who has even waved at the question has said something like "I'll encourage everyone to vote for the Democrat" which is all well and good but wasn't what "moderates" were saying or doing to progressives in 2016 or what they are saying now about the possibility that progressives won't vote for the Dem. nominee.

Instead they are providing cover and already "blaming" progressive voters for potential defections of moderates for voting to nominate a progressive.

The fact that you will be happier voting for a racist like Mayor Mike than you will for a progressive is quite telling.

I'll tell the truth to the best of my abilities. If bernie is the nominee and I talk to moderates who say they won't vote for him, sure I'll protest their decision. Same as the reverse. That's easy. I win. Go me.

maybe you aren't aware that Bberg has solid support from African Americans. More support than bernie has. Help me understand your views that Bberg is racist.

"While Biden is still holding onto his lead among black voters, according to the poll, his support has plummeted from 49 percent before the caucuses to 27 percent. Bloomberg, meanwhile, has rocketed into second place among black voters, with 22 percent support compared to 7 percent late last month."

And yet somehow there are moderates posting on here that they won't vote for a progressive and I haven't seen your criticism of them. Which again is fine but it isn't at all the way you treated progressives who stated they wouldn't vote for H. Clinton.

this narrative is the completely true narrative that trumpists really want bernie to be the candidate because they know he is weak.

that is not a false narrative - that is true.

You could argue that these Rs are wrong, but not that they are supporting bernie and are terrified of biden.

If I see them I will criticize them. I'm not sure who they may be. Names?

Not sure where you are going with this. If a moderate Democrat stays home because Bernie was the candidate, I would blame them if we get Trump for 4 more years.

If Trumpsters give trump a pass for every lie and every abuse of power I would blame them too.

Moderates will not sit out this election. Some Bernie fanatics might sit out the election because they don't realize most democrats don't want Bernie even though he might have the most support due to a divided moderate vote.
