Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

fair...to a point.

Note that in 2018 moderates won the House for the Dems

Note that in 2020 Biden won the primaries decisively.

These are clues that the Dem electorate wants a moderate and wants someone calming and traditional. They may not love Joe like they love obama and trump, but they love what he stands for. And that's pretty good.

+1.

The really wanted Bernie thing is not actually true.

Generally speaking, you are correct, but this will not be the case here. The adage that what burns brightly burns out quickly will be the case. The giant flags will disappear. The red hats will disappear. He will be powerless, and in fact, he will have less power than most former Presidents because he is so criminal...a criminality that we will continue to see. To be clear though, this worshipping of him will be gone quickly, even if he doesn't go to prison.

What other politician has people flying giant flags from behind their pickups? Trump is a special kind of leader - he inspires passion that is hard to break. Obviously.

But sure, jailtime would change that.

Trumps victory and a Trump White House has signified victory and supremacy for his followers.

IF he loses, then pretty much all of that is gone over night.

They will no longer be able to fly his flag as a means of triumphalism.

Yep. Again, there will be some show of support initially after he loses. There will likely be some Trumper violence. He MIGHT even be able to have a rally to feed his ego soon after losing, but it will all have a steady and relatively quick decline. They don't love Donald Trump. They love that someone in power has their same archaic racist and nationalist ideas.

Even the nutso Trumpers on this thread won't go signing his praises after he loses. There is just no point in that at all.

100% agree.

people have flown the confederate battle flag for 160 years despite losing that war.

That will not be the case here. That flag was a symbol of the south, and even though not all of those southerners knew it, it really was a symbol of racism. There will be a fool or two who pulls out a Trump flag at a NASCAR event, because it is the modern-day symbol of racism, but he will not have wide-spread support, and he is going to fail big time with any post-office ventures. He will suck on a radio show. Stuff he tries might have a spike of interest initially, but it will fizzle out quickly. Without question.

Trump has FL on lock. Meanwhile, Dementia Joe knows he’s going to lose. Winners don’t go underground 8 days before an election.

Hiding in the basement is a sure loser strategy.

I think I could stay solvent for 40 years if I inherited a billion dollars, even if made a bunch of bad businesses moves.

win win win no matter what wrote:

The irony of this election is that there is one reason people are voting in record numbers and he is Donald Trump. His leadership (or lack thereof) has inspired fanatical turnout voting numbers. People are either passionately voting to get rid of him, or passionately voting to keep him.

Agreed and this is why those pointing out the crowd sizes for rallys are missing the point.

Biden and anything he represents, other than “not being Trump”, isn’t a motivating factor to any voters. Most of the liberals really wanted Bernie and would have actually been drawn out to vote FOR Bernie. They were inspired and drawn out to vote for Obama. But not Joe.

Most liberals seem to be more to the center than your allowing and thus I don't think Bernie was really a guy they wanted. They'd still vote for him because he's not Trump. I'm not a liberal, hate Trump but may have voted for Trump over Bernie. I'd at least have to think about it.

No, most of the liberals did NOT want Bernie...that's why Bernie didn't win the nomination and Biden did. Liberals REJECTED Bernie.

In 2008, Democrats crushed everything.

Obama got 365 electoral votes.

They kept the House.

And built up 60 senators.

Every Dem was happy and went on with their lives.

Then the Republicans flipped the House only two years later and it took 6 years (one senate term) to flip the Senate.

If the Democrats sweep now, I can see Republicans winning back the House and Senate in 2022.

Happy people don't vote.

Ok, voting for Trump over ANYONE is wacko, but you are CORRECT that liberals didn't want Bernie. We went with a moderate.

If Trump had FL on lock he wouldn't be spending so much time "rallying" there and, more importantly, spending as much as he's been forced to in the state.

As always, your clueless.

This is accurate. Every political cycle, there are proclamations of "The X Party is dead". That's just not the way it has ever gone here. There are change elections. The GOP, or whatever form conservatives are in after Trump, will eventually come back...they will gain power in the House or the Senate or the White House again, and it could end up being all three. 2020 will be time for Democrats to seize power (and we will), but it won't be forever.

Elder abuse.

In what world can a candidate be "running behind" on the votes that they need when zero votes have been counted and voter turnout cannot be assessed because the final election day is 8 days from now?

It is bizarre that so many people who call themselves Christians are not aware of this.

You can call yourself a Christian, but other Christians may not consider your group Christian.

Trump takes the lead in PA.

Biden still a 2:1 favorite in Florida based on all the polls:
