Lol I can't wait for Dem controlled states to start pulling some EC shenanigans and the results of the election held up in court battles much like the Bush/Gore shit.

They'll lose in the end but it'll be funny to watch the faggots try.

I for one hope the Dems are humbled and we don't have a repeat of that horseshit.

...Why is everyone laughing?

Thanks Sophie Bush for reminding me why One Tree Hill sucks ass.

But now see Hilary Clinton hiring a foreign agent to manufacture dirt, then using FBI contacts through her campaign to "leak" the faked allegations to the public and using them as basis to obtain a secret warrant to spy on a US citizen who is running against her is not collusion because.

If Trump menage to get more Hispanic votes, the Dems will have to think of new strategies.

Trump, wooing Hispanic voters, starts in Miami

By MATT DIXON

06/20/2019 05:17 PM EDT
TALLAHASSEE — Donald Trump will make Miami the jumping off point for his 2020 outreach to Hispanic voters, a prized portion of the electorate in a prized state, Florida, which is key to his reelection effort.
Vice President Mike Pence will roll out “Latinos for Trump” in Miami on Tuesday, a day before Democrats land in the city for their first debates and a week after the president kicked off his 2020 reelection campaign in Orlando. The activity has underscored what’s already apparent: Florida and its 2.2 million Hispanics voters are key to Trump’s bid to remain in the White House.

Trump’s first-term policies have drawn heavy backlash from Hispanic communities, but his campaign hopes a healthy economy and branding Democrats as socialists can move some of those critics into his column. For Trump, next week’s launch is less about winning Florida’s Hispanic-heavy communities, but making sure Democrats don’t run up the margins too much.
The Latino effort will be co-chaired by Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Núñez, a Cuban American and former member of the Florida House, said a person familiar with the decision who confirmed the Tuesday event but was not authorized to speak to the press. The event was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
The Trump campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Trump won Florida in 2016 with 35 percent of the Hispanic vote, a number bolstered by the support of more than half of the state’s more-conservative Cuban vote. More than two-thirds of non-Hispanic Cubans in Florida voted for Hillary Clinton.
Democrats had to retool their outreach to Hispanic voters after a much-criticized 2018 effort that some in the party believe cost U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson his seat and doomed the campaign of Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum.

I mostly agree but personally I'd move Colorado and Nevada up a tier, New Mexico and Maine down one and Rhode Island just gets a WTF from me. Like even I'm not that bro.
Okay no seriously Rhode Island?! I'll give you points for surprising me because that is out of left field.
Like Rhode Island is Massachusetts but small.
Could you please elaborate on what makes you think RI could flip?

Okay, here's my rationale for Rhode Island. To be honest, I never even considered it at first until I came across this article. In the section titled 'Safe Democratic electoral votes', the second paragraph says:

One state to watch in the long term, though, may be Rhode Island. The Ocean State has been much more Democratic compared to the nation in the lion’s share of elections since the New Deal political realignment, which in Rhode Island really started with the 1928 Democratic nomination of Al Smith. But Hillary Clinton’s showing in Rhode Island was one of the weaker ones for a Democrat there in recent history. The Democratic presidential margin there fell from 27.5 points in 2012 to 15.5 in 2016. That doesn’t mean much, if anything, in the short term, although if Rhode Island ever becomes more of a swing state, we may look back at 2016 as a very early sign.

He still thinks that Rhode Island is safe blue, but then again, this article was written at the end of February. The Democrats have continued to look completely unhinged since then and have even stepped it up. But it got me thinking.

- Trump pulled 39% of the vote there in 2016, compared with Oregon with 39% and New Mexico with 40%. This very conversation started with talking about how Oregon may be in play and New Mexico is most definitely in play. If those states are in play, why not Rhode Island?
- Most of the states that went blue were carried due to running up massive totals in their very large, very blue cities. But look at Rhode Island in the last election. It's more of a homogeneous light blue. And there are no major metropolitan areas in Rhode Island the size of Boston or New York or Chicago where you get the super blue shades. Generally speaking, places that lean say, 55%/45% Dem, are less polarized. In those areas you expect to see 99% of the people leaning center left or center right, obviously with slight more leaning left than right. These places are not 55% super left balanced out by 45% super right. I said all of that to say this: these are the kind of moderates who would tend to be turned off by wildly extremist platforms, like, say that of the 2020 Dems. So if there is a shift away from Democrats, it won't be just a few, it will be a massive, simultaneous shift. Just like how the white working class vote shifted in unison in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin in 2016.
- Less than half a million votes were cast in the state last time. In terms of election turnout, that's tiny, so it's prone to small sample size abnormalities. For example, Rhode Island is a pretty white state. It wouldn't take very many of them to say 'No way, I'm not paying reparations' to swing the state. Also, Rhode Island is the most Catholic state in the union. The Dems' abortion extremism is one thing that could compel a small, but significant enough amount of people to withhold their votes.
- New England, parts of it anyway, seems to be starting to crack for the Democrats, albeit not as suddenly as the Rust Belt did for them in 2016. ME-2 was the first electoral vote for the GOP in New England since 2000. Trump almost carried New Hampshire in 2016 and it's in play for 2020. He's got a decent chance of picking up the whole state of Maine next time. Massachusetts will not turn red because of Boston. And Vermont is, well, Vermont. But Rhode Island is not afflicted with being Vermont nor does it have a mega city filled with super liberal colleges pumping out brainwashed idiots like AOC. Hell, Providence may vote GOP just distance themselves from Boston.

So yeah, that's why I think it's possible to flip Rhode Island in 2020.

I may be remembering this wrong and/or this may be from a bullshit source, but aren't the Cuban-Floridian types supposedly more conservative than most Latinos? Or if not actually conservative, per se, at least staunchly anti-communist?

 

[Absolutego]

It's good to know that once I kill all humans, I'll still be eligible for sainthood.

EDIT: Heh, that was an actual joke in this sketch from last year.

That sketch is so relate-able it hurts. I literally made the same joke re: Saudi Arabia not being in the Muslim Ban and got called a Trump fanboy.

I'd like to point out that the Dem 2016 lineup is so awful that it is entirely within the realms of possibility that the most reviled presidential candidate in recent memory has a chance to get back in the running. 3 generations (and more) of voters have their own reasons to despise Hilary Clinton and yet she somehow doesn't even look like the worst candidate in the clown car at this point.

Obama nostalgia seems like a terrible campaign plank to me to be completely honest. The first six years are a sea of minor scandals covered up by a presidential-looking man and a press running interference at every opportunity, and the last two years are completely defined by the run-up to the 2016 election and the absolute circus that that was. What is there to be nostalgic for in that mess?

Obama has benefited immensely from both having an oppositional Congress most of his presidency, and having a lapdog media to run interference. It's quite easy for even the most untalented hack journalist to redirect blame for Obama scandals onto Congress somehow. The core of the party base that's more politically moderate loves the man and absolutely is nostalgic for when "things weren't so chaotic and NOT NORMAL", because they're, by far, the demographic most trusting in the mainstream media. There's a reason Biden is polling as high as he is, and the press more-or-less stopped talking about anyone else once he declared.

Combine that with the fact that the loudest opposition to a Obama-nostalgia candidate like Biden are far enough on the left that they certainly won't buck to Trump. Take the usual screwing over of progressives with vastly over-estimating the size of their core base and the DNC's strategy now is completely unchanged from any other time post-2012.

The older generation of Cubans-Floridians are staunchly anti-communist but I'm afraid it might not be the case with the younger generations.

Oregon is never going red

With a difference of only 10% in 2016 between Trump and Hillary, imo it's entirely plausible that it can flip if the Democrat candidate is really shit or the ball really gets dropped by the Democrats in Oregon. With how things are so far, it's possible but kind of a stretch.
Though if the recent tax hike proposal goes through and companies start to run away from Oregon as fast as they can, then it might be accelerated.

The older generation of Cubans-Floridians are staunchly anti-communist but I'm afraid it might not be the case with the younger generations.

Yes to both. The Cuban diaspora hates Communism for obvious reasons. They weren't fleeing for economic reasons, they were escaping actual political persecution as refugees. But more importantly their immigration status isn't constantly in flux like the Mexicans in the Southwest.

So they aren't automatically sympathetic to the usual "all Latinos support illegal immigration" propaganda. Yet again, we have a case where class-based thinking obliterates the reality of people's experiences... but while the Democrats are mostly guilty of that attitude, the Republicans are often guilty of treating Latinos as a homogeneous voting bloc as well. (At the national level, anyway; local Florida politics make the distinctions.)

The Cuban 2nd and 3rd generations came up right before millenials, so they assimilated into what you'd generalize as "white yuppie guilt". 2nd gen will be more conservative than expected, since FL Republicans fully embraced the Cuban community from the start. But the 3rd generation votes like any other middle class bloc within their age group. Once the media convinced everyone talking about illegal immigration was coded dog whistle for race, the Republicans never successfully pushed back that narrative.

 

[Flexo]

I can believe it. With what's happened for the last 3 years under our new Democrat Governor as well as the piece of shit reps, everyone is sick to fucking death of Portland's goddamn "Gimme gimme gimme!" attitude and Salem fucking everyone in the ass.

Last year the fires were so bad it rained ash for 60 goddamn days and nights, the smoke was so thick that you couldn't see two city blocks, with the temps in the 110's because of the smoke and wildfires. What does the Governor tell us? "Well, with global warming, this is the new normal..."

Fuck you, bitch.

Then ONE fire gets within 50 miles of Portland and suddenly "OH! WE MUST START DOING CONSCIENTIOUS CUTTING!" but oh, look, they only cut near Portland, Eugene, and Salem. Let's not forget that fucking Portland got the timber money and spent it all on fucking illegals and sadbrains faggots.

Even the Rogue Valley, a long bastion of blue thanks to the hippy faggots infesting the valley and exceptional college students at SOU, is getting redder after the local illegals started shitting up the entire fucking valley, Medford's parks turned into Junkie Zones, the property taxes almost tripled and the school money got funneled off to take care of fucking wetbacks Harry & David illegally brought in once they got bought out by a bunch of slants.

Let's not forget Josephine County deciding they didn't want to pay their taxes, so they suspended emergency services, forcing Jackson County to pick up the slack and now the place is a hellhole of fucking illegals, meth runners, and complete faggots.

So, yeah, I can see Oregon going Red. It's pretty red outside of Portland, Salem, and the Rogue Valley.

Wow. I had like... forgotten what real reporting was like. I almost wish this was more journalistic with explanations and examinations and stuff.

Man, just imagine if we had a media that actually did its job.

If the Dems want a surprise, come-from-behind true dark horse winning candidate, we all know who they need to pick...

Spoiler: You know I'm right

I'm inclined to agree just because it would require historic Republican turnout in a state with a lot of left-wing Independents, and abnormally low Democrat turnout due to their nominee not being woke enough.

Perhaps in the realm of possibility, but the Democrat primary needs to be fucked up six ways from Sunday for me to be confident in it this time next year.

Well given the clown car nature right now it's possible. But again, we won't know how awful this will go until a year from now.

Still do think Trump'll win though.

 

[TowinKarz]

Expect to see the term "un-American" get thrown around a lot by neoliberals, pseudo-progressives, "democratic" socialists, and other leftists as the race to 2020 heats up.

The left, the same left that only, oh, five minutes ago was banging the same drum they've been banging since the USSR fell that the USA is an awful, totalitarian, empire-seeking hellhole, thinks they can wield the phrase "unamerican" with ANY legitimacy?


Ha ha..

A ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa....

Morons, you MADE that slur a VIRTUE.

If I'm reading the lines between sarcasm right, this TDS sufferer Pokéfag is suggesting Trump should prevent us from getting into a war with Iran when for the past three years he and others have been bitching about Trump.

Funny how when a threat of a war's on the horizon, they turn to the President whose guts they hate and shout "Do something!", even though Hillary's campaign was heavily suggesting she was going to get us into war with Syria.

Not really sure if this qualifies as TDS. Plenty of Democrats were reluctant to support Hillary because of her warmongering and a sizeable chunk of Trump's fanbase would get as irritated by him listening to his neocon advisers re: Iran as those Democrats would. The guy seems to be implying he hopes Trump's enough of a confused retard that he, by happenstance, avoids war with Iran. That's just general partisan disagreement, not being deranged. I expect more hypocrisy from the TDS democrats where they're screeching at him for NOT invading like what happened with those Syrian chemical attacks in 2017.

Thanks Sophie Bush for reminding me why One Tree Hill sucks ass.

I love the fact that some of those actors are so old and bloated (like Rob Reiner) that you need captions next to their image to be able to tell who they are. I'm not much of a conspiracy nut, but if there is such a thing as adrenochrome sucked from the brains of children keeping actors young, then it's clear these people are not getting enough of it.

I only brought it up because someone asked to see some non-fucked polling so I offered up the internal polling for the Trump campaign which obviously you should take with a grain of salt and you and me are not gonna see till after the election but it's the best I could think of.
Personally I think Oregon isn't gonna happen and they should just focus on other States but apparently the data looks encouraging so what do I know?
