Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Elder abuse.

What kind of father takes a picture with his underage daughter with two parrots humping? Projection?

I agree with Racket that democrats should not be complacent, but I think it’s a reality that has not materially changed since 2016. More than 40% of the US voting age population will still not vote due to lack of interest. It’s easy to think that hatred for Trump will push them to get out there, but more likely four years of Trump has disheartened Americans even more about politics.

And unfortunately of the ones who are registered to vote, too many are like my sister who do not follow any news, do not read, and really don’t believe that politics affects their lives materially enough that their vote will matter much anyway. People like her simply aren’t going to try to fact check or bother with research and details that make all the difference. Most tend to see things strictly from the perspective of their own experiences. For example, she caught COVID and had very weak symptoms and therefore thinks the whole pandemic isn't that serious. She doesn’t like trump but she thinks Biden is not that exciting and plans to vote for someone else or not at all. Unfortunately, she lives in Florida.

I just don’t think people are motivated enough to get out there and vote for Biden in huge numbers, despite hating trump. I wouldn’t count on any big swing state wins for Biden and I think it will likely be a close call. we’ll see as we get closer but I’m not very confident at the moment.

The record $350M raised in August (vs $210M) is a good indicator of motivation, but yeah impossible to tell how many people will decide not to participate. It's also hard to imagine how people who were on the fence and didn't participate in 2016 have decided that this"greatest show" has NOW convinced them to get on board

Trump's going to get his clock cleaned at the debates:

You just linked a tweet that is labeled as Manipulated Media by Twitter.

So the national vote continues to tighten...Joe's lead has shrunk to 6.9%. It was in the 8-9% range for months before that.

But the 538 forecast has not moved in Trump's favor..it is at 76/24, the largest gap in a many weeks.

I think what's happening is:

1) Time. yeah the race is tightening up, but there are just 48 days left.

2) The key swing states are all leaning for Joe. All of them. The good guy doesn't have to win them all.

3) A 7 point lead is, historically speaking, enormous in the context of US presidential elections.

Ironically, the CNN piece that I read about Trump's town hall was relatively kind to him. Although the gist of the piece was that the town hall did not go well for him, the writer gave Trump credit for going in front of a crowd that wasn't so friendly to him.

But yeah, he's going to have trouble at the debates. If Biden and the moderators are strong enough to call him out when he lies or fails to answer a question (which will be virtually every question), he'll have a very uncomfortable evening. He has no plan for the next four years, so any time he's asked about what he'll do about some issue, he's got nothing. And he seems genuinely surprised when people don't kiss his a** like his supporters do at his rallies.

Given the whole dementia schtick, it's funny that he made two major gaffes last night, talking about how "herd mentality" will get us through the pandemic, and mistaking the cause of death of the parent of someone questioning him. These would ordinarily be forgivable mistakes, but if Biden doesn't get that courtesy than Trump shouldn't either.

For the Senate race:

The Democrats will likely lose Alabama. Doug Jones is running against a college football coach.

They should hang on to Michigan.

10 safe seats for Democrats.

Republicans are defending 23 seats and 13 of them are potentially competitive.

Interesting that Republicans have not locked up Kansas, Kentucky and Texas.

The thought of them losing two seats in Georgia is crazy.

Apparently Alaska is a dead heat.

Montana doesn't act like other big low population red states.

Lindsey Graham is being pushed in South Carolina.

Even Mitch is in a battle in Kentucky.

Maine is too liberal to keep Trump defender Susan Collins.

Same for Colorado.

Trump turned Arizona to prefer Democrats.

Iowa is a true tossup.

North Carolina is trending blue the way Virginia has been going lately.

Trump on the ticket hurts, ME, CO, AZ and NC. Maybe some other red states as well.

The Republicans under Trump are now the party of dishonesty and disinformation. There's no reason to accept anything they say as true, unless you hear it from a more credible source. In this regard, they are in bed with Russia.

Trump and his conservative allies have ramped up a campaign of online disinformation in recent weeks, as The Washington Post’s Ashley Parker reported, with the president in particular tweeting out numerous false claims and misleadingly labeled videos. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump shared a tweet baselessly accusing Biden of being a pedophile.

The AZ senate race is amazing...the SAME Republican candidate whose loss in 2018 flipped her seat the the Dems....is going to lose again in 2020, flipping that seat to the Dems also.

Martha McSally. American Hero.

That Laura Ingraham Fox News segment looked like a promo for Biden.

She called it an ambush and they were reasonable questions.

I thought the Trump bandwagon plan was to always say everything is good when Trump is involved and things went well.

Did she really mean to bring attention to how bad that was for Trump?

and of course the 'pedophile' bit is a wink at all the nutso Republican Q-anon people. Trying to tell them what they already think- that DC is a pedophile ring.

the Rs have fallen so low as to play with crazy conspiracists.
