XCR1250 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Home | America Tags: 2020 Elections | Donald Trump | Joe Biden | Polls | battlegrounds | electoral college | democracy institute DI Poll: Trump Leads Biden Nationally, Key Battlegrounds President Donald Trump (Carolyn Kaster/AP) By Solange Reyner | Sunday, 30 August 2020 03:45 PM A new poll predicts a landslide victory for President Donald Trump this November. Trump leads Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden by 3 percentage points in the latest Democracy Institute/Sunday Express poll 48%-45%, with pollsters predicting Trump will rout Biden in delegates, 309-229, as the president holds a lead over the former vice president in the swing states of Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. "Although Biden remains in a competitive race with Donald Trump, and may well do so until election day, his support isn't growing," said Democracy Institute director Patrick Basham, who believes Biden has already hit his "high watermark." "And, tellingly, almost all of the issues that matter most to voters are trending in President Trump's favor." Thirty-seven percent of Americans surveyed by DI said law and order was the top political issue, while 27% said they were concerned about the economy and keeping their current job or getting a new one. "In any political campaign, there's a moment that tells you which way the electoral wind is blowing," Basham told the Express. "That moment arrived on Wednesday. Joe Biden restated his support for peaceful protests but, crucially, condemned the violence that has come to dominate the monthslong nationwide protest movement. "When a candidate changes his tune three quarters of the way through a race, it is not because he knows he holds a winning hand. "He does so because the electoral ground is shifting beneath his feet." Polling by DI has previously predicted both the 2016 U.S. election and Brexit.

XCR1250 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Six Democrat MN Mayors Endorse Trump: Democrats ‘Left Us,’ Moved ‘So Far’ Left We ‘Don’t Recognize’ The Party By Ryan Saavedra • Aug 30, 2020 DailyWire.com • Facebook Twitter Mail Stephen Maturen/Getty Images Six Democrat mayors in the swing-state of Minnesota formally endorsed President Donald Trump for a second term on Friday while taking shots at Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden. The letter mainly highlighted economic issues as being the primary driver for the Democrat mayors’ endorsement, but it also noted that the party has gone “so far to the left” that they no longer “recognize” it, and that the party “left” them. “Today, we write to formally endorse President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence for four more years,” the letter said. It was signed by Virginia Mayor Larry Cuffe, Chisholm Mayor John Champa, Ely Mayor Chuck Novak, Two Harbors Mayor Chris Swanson, Eveleth Mayor Robert Vlaisavljevich, and Babbitt Mayor Andrea Zupancich. “Like many in our region, we have voted for Democrats over many decades,” the letter said. “We have watched as our constituents’ jobs left not only the Iron Range, but our country. By putting tariffs on our products and supporting bad trade deals, politicians like Joe Biden did nothing to help the working class. We lost thousands of jobs, and generations of young people have left the Iron Range in order to provide for their families with good paying jobs elsewhere. Today, we don’t recognize the Democratic Party. It has been moved so far to the left it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class. The hard-working Minnesotans that built their lives and supported their families here on the Range have been abandoned by radical Democrats. We didn’t choose to leave the Democratic Party, the party left us.” “Yet, four years ago, something wonderful happened. Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States, and he stood up to China, implemented tax cuts and fought for the working class,” the letter continued. “Now, four years later, the Iron Range is roaring back to life and for the first time in a very long time, locals are hopeful because of this President’s policies and willingness to fight for us.” “Lifelong politicians like Joe Biden are out of touch with the working class, out of touch with what the country needs, and out of touch with those of us here on the Iron Range and in small towns like ours across our nation,” the letter concluded. “In this election, there is a lot at stake, but the biggest risk is our jobs, our economy, and our way of life. President Trump delivered the best economy in our nation’s history, and President Trump will deliver for us again. He will continue to fight for every American regardless of party affiliation and continue to stand up for the working class.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The race divide was created by Democrats and Obama in particular. Is Trump the best no. But how much different would things look if the media and the democrats treated Trump fairly? He would be treating them in a different manner as well and if he didn't he'd be out on his ear. I honestly think the Democrats lost this election becuase of the way they've acted the last four years and they are getting worse, not better and it's playing right into Trump's hands.

If you can point to anything tangible that's bad for the US becuase he doesn't act the way you want him to please point it out. Obama was a shitty a president as you can get but he acted the way you wanted him to. I don't think you're sticking up for the media and I'm not sticking up for Trump. If I was him I'd never take a question for reporters he calls fake news. I think he does it just to start a fight which is idiotic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he handles it as good as one might expect, given he knows he has a largely corrupt media and Washington establishment fighting him every step of the way. I’m not hung up on how presidential he is. Nancy Pelosi is third in line to the presidency, and literally goes off half cocked weekly. So if we’re going to hold everyone to some standard....
