[Raiden]

Only Daddy Putin can make Trump so happy.

 

[Sithborg]

Rick Santorum just acknowledged how much trouble Trump will have with re-election. I think the GOP is going to start panicking.

 

[samsnee]

They’re not worried. When you can’t get the votes for your side you just suppress and discredit the vote of the other side.

I doubt Trump cares all that much whether he is re-elected or not.

I don't know, this was the first time I saw that Rick Santorum said that the president had an issue. Not just "I wish he wouldn't say that", but that his combativeness is an issue. And that it is a problem for women and minorities.

I think the full weight of what just happened is beginning to dawn on the GOP. Especially with any attempts to gerrymander with Dem governors in key states. MI, WI, and NC especially.

 

[Raiden]

Trump's massive ego won't allow him to concede anything, including the reelection. Trust me; Trump will care a lot in 2020, and he will be asking his boss Putin to help him any way he can. Trump will be using all the underhanded tactics because he has no morality nor ethnics, and he wants to win.

I mean they were all saying that last election too but he still won. It helped he was running against Clinton but I highly doubt those who have been comfortable with his racist sexist xenophobic rhetoric are all of a sudden going to see the light.

His opponent's skill and and strategy is still going to be very important. There are some fights Trump will pick that you can lean into a bit, but others you need to avoid, because they feed into his base's most fervent "stick it to 'em" mindset and allow him to control the narrative.

Healthcare should be the sticking point, but there's a way to navigate the patriotism side and come out well against Trump, and I honestly think there should be some attacking there, or at least some awareness of how to counter Trump's inevitable attacks there with something energetic and genuine. I don't believe that attacking the Neo-Nazis would be a bad idea, and I'd have some analytics run into whether or not attacking the lies and deceptions of the Lost Cause would be a viable tactic.

I mean, I feel there is a way to appeal to people on the basis of "the leaders of the Confederacy sacrificed hundreds of thousands of good honest men, men who went out for loyalty to their local leaders, respect and love towards their fathers and brothers, and out of a misguided believe they were doing something right. But their leaders spent that blood and sweat out of cowardice about the future, out of selfishness for their wealth, and out of a treasonous hatred of their country. Brave men died so traitors could hold onto their profane economy for a little longer. Men were sent off to kill their fellow Americans for the sake of slavery, to die underneath a flag that today represents the worst aspects of their culture, the sins and perversions that slavery enabled. The red on the American flag? That comes from patriots dying to protect out freedoms. The red on the Confederate flag? Whatever brave men's blood may have been there originally is now drowned out and cursed by that of thousands of dead Americans, slain by terrists who hid their faces and brought shame to those who died at Shiloh, Antietam, or Gettysburg. It is a great tragedy that so many men were slain for such a vile thing as slavery. But it's a damn good thing the Confederacy lost. Those men buried in the ground? They're Americans. And we should remember that."

 

[Brian Braddock]

The guy is just such a pathological liar it's unreal. And yet he gets away with it over and over.

 

[Schlosser85]

And for some inexplicable reason he’s amassed a cult following that believes every word he says.

 

[Sithborg]

Because american christianity has indoctrinated them into unquestioning belief.

 

[samsnee]

If he can openly insult war heroes and families of killed soldiers and still get elected president I don’t have much faith in the Republican electorate anymore.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

And for some inexplicable reason he’s amassed a cult following that believes every word he says.

It’s incredibly easy to get people to believe you, just so long as you’re lying about the right things.

 

[squeekness]

Only Daddy Putin can make Trump so happy.

That grin makes we want to punch him in the puss.

 

[Iceman]

I doubt Trump cares all that much whether he is re-elected or not.

What makes you think that? (out of interest)

 

[Mandon Knight]

The Coward in Chief.

The *anker in the white house

Above all, and there are MANY areas of society that I can't understand support / vote for him but female voters backing him I find the most mystifying of all. I simply cannot get my head round this concept in any shape or form. Given his 'taped' views and what and how he's conducted himself over the years and in office.

Trump represents white dominance and/or supremacy. That doesn't just appeal to men.

More fool them.

 

[samsnee]

I also think the Republicans care more about defeating Democrats so he is just a vessel for that.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Notice how Merkel and Macron are looking at Putin with much less affection. They realize how dangerous he is.

Keeping tabs on one sociopath in a line is one thing, having two to keep your eye on, is hard work.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

That nearly about sums it up. Except for...

Only Daddy Putin can make Trump so happy.

 

[squeekness]

It's so humiliating as an American to have this man as our President.

….particularly when the preceding one was one of the finest gentle-men that has ever graced office, we around the world feel your pain squeeks.
