Eye on Politics: The Campaigns Kick Off

quote:
Traditionally, Labor Day is the start of presidential campaigns. Of course, since Bill Clinton created the “war room,” campaigns never really ended. Barack Obama took that to a new level, treating every single appearance and news event as a part of the perpetual campaign. President Trump learned from Obama, and almost immediately after his election, he formed a reelection committee, began soliciting funds, and named Brad Parscale as his campaign director.

snip

quote:
...there have been powerful indicators that Trump is controlling the narrative and winning the election, despite the useless polls. First, increasingly on the airwaves and on the ground, the fight is on “blue” turf—Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota. Biden has even run ads in New York! (Can anyone remember the last time New York was contested?) While some might blow it off as Trump pomposity, he has stated on two occasions recently that he would win the election; that he would carry Minnesota; and Jared Kushner also cited internal polling showing the Trump campaign up in the battleground states. More recently, Newt Gingrich has alluded to internal polls he saw showing Trump up in Arizona and North Carolina, two states the Democrats thought they could steal. Biden apparently has given up on Florida and is running no ads there. Various pollsters, though certainly not the consensus of the pollsters, have Trump up in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

snip

quote:
...the apparent message to Democrat insiders that the riots in Portland, Chicago, and other cities are not playing well with middle America, a change of message was needed. This came last week in the form of the “Losers/suckers” hoax story from the Atlantic where President Trump, according to the omnipresent “unnamed sources,” made derogatory comments about those veterans buried in France and didn’t want to fly into a ceremony honoring them because it would mess up his hair.

No, you can’t make this up.


snip

quote:
...as Paul Sperry reported yesterday the Atlantic story was concocted to counteract President Trump’s strong support from overseas troops and to try to dull his edge there.

If Sperry is correct, this only further confirms my overall view that Trump has the Democrats completely on defense. They are constantly reacting to, and responding to, him and his strengths. Trump says the rioting and looting are bad at a time when the Hoax News media refuses to cover the riots—but the news still leaks out. Suddenly Don Lemon (“Blind Lemon Don”) pleads with his viewers to stop rioting (which says a great deal in and of itself!) because it is advancing the Trump agenda. Brett Weinstein, who conducts the “Dark Horse Podcast,” has warned that Democrats are “making a fatal error. Allowing some citizens to personally terrorize others is unAmerican, it’s monstrous policy, and it’s bat sh@t crazy as a campaign strategy.”

Precisely. Not only does it cause revulsion in traditional moderates—who by their very psychological nature do not want to engage in perpetual confrontations—but it pushes them to be “shy” Trump voters. This, in turn, makes the polling even more suspect as they refuse to talk to pollsters out of fear it may “out” them.

Now the Atlantic has given Trump a reason and purpose in the public mind for rolling out acres of footage of him supporting the troops, meeting with the wounded, consoling Gold Star Families, and so on. In wrestling terms, Trump pulled the Reverse Khizr Khan. It’s a remarkable move where a candidate takes the other side’s attack, repurposes it, and sends it back at ten times the velocity. Moreover—and look for this soon—the Atlantic hoax has opened the door for a brand new “Swiftboat Vets for Truth” ad that we should see soon from a conservative PAC.


snip

quote:
In sum, as we start the official kickoff to the presidential campaign season, Trump now has the Democrats panicked that he will drown them in military absentee ballots, pull away a significant percentage of blacks and Hispanics, lock down the “Law and Order” snowflake vote from people afraid Antifa’s next Happy Hour will be in their shaded neighborhoods and will blow them out in an enthusiasm gap.

The[y] would not be wrong in any of those fears.

Jesse Watters is saying on The Five that Republicans are out-registering Democrats in:

Florida: 450,000
North Carolina: 230,000
Pennsylvania: 150,000

Dana Perino on the same show is saying that the Hispanic vote for President Trump has gone from 35% in 2016 to 50% in 2020.

They have been mostly peaceful - unlike your guy, who encourages supporters to get violent with protesters, and did even before he was elected. I have a friend in Scotland, who watched a video on Youtube, late 2016, and she was concerned about the press at his event, because of the way they were being treated.

@DanScavino

Meet Joe Biden's Supporters [Video]

I don't agree with swaying voters through fear. Also, I think the caption is misleading. It paints Joe Biden's supporters with too broad a brush, in my opinion. The people who are funding Antifa and BLM control the Democratic party. They certainly support Joe Biden. But, based on current polling, a majority of the country doesn't support what's going on in cities like Portland and Seattle and are voting against President Trump.

Yeah, it cracks me up to watch video of brain dead leftist loons from CNN, MSDNC and others pop off about peaceful protests with buildings and police vehicles burning brightly in the background.

Don't remember Trump ever telling supporters to get violent of rough up protesters or members of the loony tunes press.

Since you brought it up, how about some video of trump doing that..or even some direct quotes from Trump!

@JesseBWatters poll report

quote:
Morning Consult battleground poll has the President tied or slightly ahead in every single battleground state except Michigan, which is going to be a tough fight.

The Hill-Harris poll. Juan writes for The Hill so it has to be legit. Joe Biden is significantly under-performing with minority voters. He’s off 24% with blacks than where Hillary was. 20% he’s off with hispanics than where Hillary was. And, according to Rasmussen, 20% of black voters plan on voting for President Trump.

The Economist says 80% of Americans say crime is a serious issue. 86% of black American say it is.

The Kaiser Family Foundation has Donald Trump’s approval for Corona virus jumping nine points recently and people do not think Corona virus is as much of a concern as they used to last month.

The President’s handling of the economy over 50% in every single battleground poll, and,

in terms of election enthusiasm, Donald Trump’s voters almost double as enthusiastic as Joe Biden. So the trends are against Biden. His base is not entirely juiced. And Trump’s base is.


Note: Many Trump supporters do not talk to pollsters, so polls don't reflect the true numbers.

Dems deploying DARPA-funded AI-driven information warfare tool to target pro-Trump accounts

quote:
An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that reportedly received initial funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon’s secretive research arm -- transforming technology originally envisioned as a way to fight ISIS propaganda into a campaign platform to benefit Joe Biden.

Welcome to Big Tech 2020, where telling voters how they can go to their polling place on election day to check that the ballot they signed & sent in early was officially counted is called "violating election integrity".

There are a number of "errors" in The Atlantic article, but here's just a few:

quote:
This is the era of expecting the worst while hoping for the merely tolerable. Some might say that the worst is already happening—economic disaster and 190,000 dead from a pandemic...

An economic disaster created at the state level by lockdowns mandated by governors and mayors.

I guess the writer hasn't heard the CDC revised their Covid death numbers to less than 10,000.

quote:
A loss for Biden, after having been the clear favorite all summer...

...according to fake polls.

quote:
If Democrats can’t beat a candidate as unpopular as Trump during a devastating pandemic and a massive economic contraction, then are they even capable of winning presidential elections anymore?

...unpopular with Democrats and the media, but popular with voters. This writer must not be paying much attention.

quote:
How could so many of their fellow Americans side with a racist...

This allegation has been debunked so many times, and yet, he repeats it yet again.

quote:
Moreover, the Russians had interfered, and tipped the balance in an extremely close election through propaganda, fake news, and collusion with the Trump campaign.

This isn't an error, this is a lie. Despite no evidence that then candidate Trump won because of Russian interference, despite the fact that no Americans were charged and prosecuted for Russian collusion, and the Mueller investigation concluded no collusion was found between the Russians and the Trump campaign.

quote:
Because Biden’s poll numbers this year have mostly been higher than Clinton’s were in 2016, a Trump victory will be even harder for the left to absorb.

Really? Not with minority voters. According to Jesse Watters, whose poll report was posted earlier in this thread:

Joe Biden is significantly under-performing with minority voters. He’s off 24% with blacks than where Hillary was. 20% he’s off with hispanics than where Hillary was.
