Democrats worried about Trump's growing strength

Senate Democrats are privately acknowledging that President Trump will be very tough to beat in November if the economy stays strong and he draws on the substantial advantages of running as an incumbent.

Publicly, Democratic lawmakers are putting on a brave face, but behind closed doors anxiety is mounting over the unraveling of former Vice President Joe Biden’s White House bid and the failure of impeachment to put a dent in Trump’s approval ratings.

One of the chief concerns is that Trump, who has a virtually uncontested path to the Republican nomination, will have a big head start to prepare for the general election.

His reelection campaign is already spending heavily to reach out to voters on Facebook, and the Republican Party is solidly unified behind him.

Meanwhile, Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) victory in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary has made clear to some Senate Democrats that the party’s primary is likely to drag on for months.

In particular, they worry the party will remain divided until the summer convention and fear a reprise of 2016, when lingering resentment among Sanders’s supporters over the Democratic National Committee’s favoritism toward eventual nominee Hillary Clinton dampened voter turnout in the fall.

“I hear comments all the time that after what’s happened in the first two primaries we only have a 50-50 chance. It’s not looking good,” said a Democratic senator who requested anonymity to talk about the private concerns of colleagues.

One of the biggest surprises to lawmakers is the poor performance of Biden, who has performed well against Trump in hypothetical match-ups.

Though Biden led his Democratic rivals in national polls over the past several months, he finished in fourth place in the Iowa caucuses, with 15 percent of the vote, and dropped to fifth place in the New Hampshire primary, with a paltry 8 percent.

Other red flags are Trump’s resilient approval rating, despite months of an impeachment inquiry followed by a weeks-long trial, and the amount of money his campaign is raising and spending.

The Democrats had better pull their party back Center from the Extreme Left it has become. The fact that Bernie is the leader (again) says it all.

Actually the fact that they are running scared is good. Part of the reason is that Clinton lost was that she was too overconfident. .

The fact is that Trump has been emboldened by Republicans voting to acquit him will lead to Trump doing crazy things. His commuting of Blagojevich's sentencing, his trying to become a autocrat by taking over the DOJ. Then you have the fact that voters disagree with Trump on every issue.

Trump's approval ratings are not as rosy as we are led to believe. Pollsters are likely postulating that Republican turnout will increase. However what they fail to realize is that Democrat turnout will also increase. In Kentucky, the last poll had the then current incumbent Governor up by 8. He lost by less than 1. The reason is that suburban voters went to Democrats. In Louisiana, Democrat Edwards won by increasing his vote totals in suburban areas and heavy black turnout.

Democrat voters are not necessarily divided. The story of 2016 was not Sander' voter turnouts but the weak black turnout in urban areas cost Clinton Pennsylvania and Michigan. Black turnout has been much stronger in 2018 and 2019.

The Republicans had better pull their party back from the extreme right. White supremacists and neo-nazis are not enough to win. Republicans have major problems with suburban voters especially women. Trump lost the female vote in 2016 by 12 points. That is likely to be worse.

Never fear, Bloomberg is here! With a cool billion in Mikey bucks, he is buying up the airwaves, he has constructed the illusion of an Obama endorsement and that he alone can take down Donald Trump. Here comes the 'Brokered' (Broken?) convention.

Meanwhile Bloomberg's private chef is preparing gourmet dinners for the family with the food grown by dumbass farmers.

The biggest difference between Trump and Bloomberg is the genuine connection he has with people. Bloomberg is the prototype detached arrogant elitist.

Trump does not connect with suburban voters especially women. Trump won Utah with only 45% of the vote. Texas is in play this year.
