Were Thinking Landslide
June 15, 2020 at 6:24 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
But throughout the Republican Partys vast organization in the states, the operational approach to Trumps re-election campaign is hardening around a fundamentally different view. Interviews with more than 50 state, district and county Republican Party chairs depict a version of the electoral landscape that is no worse for Trump than six months ago and possibly even slightly better. According to this view, the coronavirus is on its way out and the economy is coming back. Polls are unreliable, Joe Biden is too frail to last, and the media still doesnt get it.
Said Phillip Stephens, GOP chairman in Robeson County, N.C.: The more bad things happen in the country, it just solidifies support for Trump. Were calling him Teflon Trump. Nothings going to stick, because if anything, its getting more exciting than it was in 2016. Were thinking landslide.

Democratic leaders will have tens of thousands of lawyers waiting on the sidelines to ensure that vote counts are fairly counted and all votes are counted. In short, that there are no foul ups during the counting of the votes.

(9,259 posts)1. His Billionaire supporters will dump money in the stock exchange driving stocks up. They already did one dry run.
2. Late Oct. he announces a vaccine for COVID-19. Whether it works or not is irrelevant.
3. Rep. controlled states will start under reporting COVID numbers to show Rep not Dem know what they are doing.
4. N. Korea will announce a deal with Trump (there really won't be one).
5. There will be a new blockade of Cuba that will have Cuban-Americans dancing in the streets of Miami.

(5,815 posts)with the American people has a sudden reversal in popularity and goes on to win re-election? tRump has never been wildly popular with most Americans. His approval ratings have never been a good with the majority of the citizens. Now with so much falling apart around us and not seeming to get much better, their strategy seems to be happy talk. Just pretend all is well and that things are looking up. Once our minds have changed in such large numbers, can we be manipulated to vote for Such a horrid man? (Im using we as a collective we. I know the folks at DU arent going to vote for tRump under any circumstances.) I was just wondering if there is any way he can turn enough voters around in their opinion of him so theyd be willing to give him a second term and has been demonstrated historically.
