Sure Democrats Will Lose in 2020, But They Are Dangerous Now, And Must Be Stopped!
Sure Democrats Will Lose in 2020, But They Are Dangerous Now, And Must Be Stopped!

One thing that is somewhat comforting this week is that after the last debate performance it is safer than ever to assume that not one of the candidates who stood on the debate stage has even a prayer of a chance of becoming president.
If any of them had the debate itself removed any lingering hope.
Between the pummeling of the moderates on stage, to the belligerent tyrannical claims, to the utterly indescribable nonsense spoken, it is fairly clear they are a ship lost at sea.......

......Their ideas are plagued by historical inaccuracy in their assumptions and claims. They believe in lying to everyone listening, promising things they can never deliver, at a cost to everyone far greater than they indicate, that will not accomplish what they purport they will.
The lack of seriousness is palpable. The damage they are doing to the future of our nation is very real though.
It’s why we must expose the danger in their lies.......

ME: I think this commentary is dead on correct; they will lose but they are dangerous, especially in local government which is often overlooked

 

[kyzr]

I'm pretty sure that the voters will really turnout for Trump, and the dems will be split again.
The Bernie voters will be disenfranchised again.
The Biden voters will be disappointed that Joe won't be the nominee, or if he is the nominee how Trump beats him like a baby seal.
The Warren voters, mostly women who want to see a woman president, will be out in force, but much like 2016 will not win. Why?
Because the Trump admin knows how to run the US, peace and prosperity wins every time. Better luck in 2024...

[IM2]

Trump is not going to win. As the pressure continues to mount, he will become more unstable. He will have to face the democratic challenger in a debate. He will get chewed up in those debates. You guys will continue to believe he's winning. When he loses you nuts will swear things were rigged and he was cheated.

Trumps policies have been failures. But you guys live outside of reality. This is why you are in here thinking Trump is going to win easily.

 

[Terri4Trump]

.....Trumps policies have been failures.........

You're such a peach. Like a cuddly bear. .

Lowest unemployment in 50 years, booming economy, wiped out ISIS, lowest black & Hispanic unemployment EVER, tax cuts, re-negotiated trade deals.....

Oh, the horror of it all

 

[HenryBHough]

President Trump's biggest challenge is in surviving the violence that will be thrown his way as election day approaches. I would be surprised, but not amazed, if imposition of martial law becomes necessary.

Hudson: The Party of Slavery Is Now the Party of Reparations for Slavery
Hudson: The Party of Slavery Is Now the Party of Reparations for Slavery

The Democratic Party is the party of slavery. Thanks to the Democrats’ cartoonish clown car of presidential candidates, the party of slavery is now the party of reparations for slavery.
This stampede of opportunistic dilettantes — conducting self-promotion campaigns posing as presidential bids — have all endorsed Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s (D-TX) resolution, H.R. 40, calling for a commission to “study and develop reparation proposals for African-Americans” and a national apology from the government “for the perpetration of gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity on African slaves and their descendants.”

Rep. Lee is not an idiot. Perhaps a quarter century in Washington has convinced her that you are. Why spend millions to fund a Congressional commission to study what we already know to be true? The Democratic Party is the party of slavery.

But don’t take my word for it.

“There is no doubt that the Democratic Party is the party of the Confederacy, historically, that the Democratic Party’s flag is the Confederate flag,” former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) told author Angela McGlown. “It was our party’s flag. That Jefferson Davis was a Democrat; that Stonewall Jackson strongly identified with the Democratic Party; that secessionists in the South saw themselves as Democrats and were Democrats; that so much of the Democratic Party’s history, since it is our nation’s oldest political party, has its roots in slavery.”

Trumps policies have been failures. But you guys live outside of reality. This is why you are in here thinking Trump is going to win easily.

Trump survived the coup attempts, the Mueller Hoax, the MSM's fake news, the fake polls, never-Trumpers, the "establishment wings" of both parties, and his own foibles. Nothing can affect Trump's work ethic and drive.
Trump will beat any democrat in the debates like a baby seal. Please see the democrat policies that Trump will use as cudgels.
1. Open borders, tear down the southern border fence/wall
2. Sanctuary cities & states
3. Free college
4. Single Payer Healthcare, aka rationed healthcare, "Medicare for all"
5. Eliminate ICE and DHS, turn the US into the EU, with muslim "no go zones"
6. Promote Globalism, whatever Wall Street wants Wall Street gets, see K-Street Cash
7. Paris Climate Change Treaty where the US pays $trillions to poor countries
8. Stupid trade agreements, e.g tax breaks to move factories overseas
9. Let China run roughshod over the US for trade and intellectual property
10. Let NK develop nukes and ICBM delivery systems, have no one capable of dealing with NK
11. Raise taxes to 70% on the wealthy, especially on corporations so they relocate overseas
12. Opioid problem running rampant across the US
13. Gangs like MS-13 running rampant across the US
14. No steel or mining industries due to foreign "dumping" of subsidized products
15. No new pipelines
16. No offshore drilling
17. The dems' "Central Committee" appoints super-delegates to subvert real voters in primaries
18. Pack the US Supreme Court to promote liberal policies
19. Impeach anyone they deem not liberal enough, like Kavanaugh
20. Use the Federal Government to punish conservatives, like the IRS and Lois Lerner hounded conservatives
21. Use the Intel community to spy on the opposition party, like Hillary, FusionGPS, and the FBI/DOJ spied on Trump
22. Block voter ID laws to ensure fraud, and promote "vote harvesting" to steal elections
23. Refuse to provide funding for border walls/security, which DHS says is desperately needed.
24. Give $Trillions to Mexico and Central America for a Marshal Plan, but not help US citizens living in tent cities
25. Impose gun control, outlaw private gun sales, outlaw AR style rifles, restrict sales of bullets, confiscate guns.
26. "Green New Deal" Impose a "carbon tax" to punish anyone who works, heats their home, flies, or has a car
27. Anti-business democrat socialists caused Amazon to flee NYC taking 25,000 good paying jobs to VA
28. REPARATIONS to blacks to pay for slavery, $trillions owed by US voters
29. Excuse the murder of unwanted newborns, i.e. "infanticide"
30. Change the Electoral College to popular vote
31. All prisoners get to vote, even the Boston Marathon Bomber, so says Bernie
32. LGBTQ rights, trannys in military
33. Hunt down suspected white supremacists, increase domestic surveillance

[NightFox]

"The arrogant hubris and posing of what appeared to be an intoxicated Kamala Harris, to the incessant whining of Mayor Pete about people “scoring points,” all seem to indicate that this thin-skinned group of adults would have difficulty handling a class full of elementary children for a day much less run a nation."

Yep, the author hit the nail on the head with that one, that last Democratic Primary "Debate" was pathetic.

 

[Jets]

The economy will determine Trumps re-election. Let’s see how it looks before Nov 2020.

 

[Lesh]

Why do I get the feeling that Trumpers would favor "re-education camps" for the opposition?

 

[Nosmo King]

I'm pretty sure that the voters will really turnout for Trump, and the dems will be split again.
The Bernie voters will be disenfranchised again.
The Biden voters will be disappointed that Joe won't be the nominee, or if he is the nominee how Trump beats him like a baby seal.
The Warren voters, mostly women who want to see a woman president, will be out in force, but much like 2016 will not win. Why?
Because the Trump admin knows how to run the US, peace and prosperity wins every time. Better luck in 2024...

I really want to get the House back to though. As long as the Dems have thou House, Trump can't get anything big done

As opposed to his first two years? Did he get the wall built with a Republican house? Did he overturn Obamacare with a Republican congress? He did manage to give the rich a tax cut. He did manage to obfuscate the investigation into Kavanaugh's sex abuse accusations.

But anything big? Let's just celebrate he golfs at his own resorts on the taxpayer's dime. It keeps him from actually governing.

Promises Kept | President Donald J. Trump's Accomplishments

That should be a thread of its own!!

 

[Terri4Trump]

Why do I get the feeling that Trumpers would favor "re-education camps" for the opposition?

If you cannot see the evil of today's Dem party then I suggest that you take it upon yoiu4rseldf to rethink and reeducate yours,

 

[Terri4Trump]

This thread has some really good posts in it. That is so nice for a change. Thank you

Sure Democrats Will Lose in 2020, But They Are Dangerous Now, And Must Be Stopped!
Sure Democrats Will Lose in 2020, But They Are Dangerous Now, And Must Be Stopped!

One thing that is somewhat comforting this week is that after the last debate performance it is safer than ever to assume that not one of the candidates who stood on the debate stage has even a prayer of a chance of becoming president.
If any of them had the debate itself removed any lingering hope.
Between the pummeling of the moderates on stage, to the belligerent tyrannical claims, to the utterly indescribable nonsense spoken, it is fairly clear they are a ship lost at sea.......

......Their ideas are plagued by historical inaccuracy in their assumptions and claims. They believe in lying to everyone listening, promising things they can never deliver, at a cost to everyone far greater than they indicate, that will not accomplish what they purport they will.
The lack of seriousness is palpable. The damage they are doing to the future of our nation is very real though.
It’s why we must expose the danger in their lies.......

ME: I think this commentary is dead on correct; they will lose but they are dangerous, especially in local government which is often overlooked

UPDATE: Polls and experts now indicate that Trump will win. Thank God

 

[Crepitus]

Trump is not going to win. As the pressure continues to mount, he will become more unstable. He will have to face the democratic challenger in a debate. He will get chewed up in those debates. You guys will continue to believe he's winning. When he loses you nuts will swear things were rigged and he was cheated.

Trumps policies have been failures. But you guys live outside of reality. This is why you are in here thinking Trump is going to win easily.

Trump survived the coup attempts, the Mueller Hoax, the MSM's fake news, the fake polls, never-Trumpers, the "establishment wings" of both parties, and his own foibles. Nothing can affect Trump's work ethic and drive.
Trump will beat any democrat in the debates like a baby seal. Please see the democrat policies that Trump will use as cudgels.
