Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa are not looking good for Donny Dollhands, and neither is Pennsylvania.

(3,335 posts)the results of those Polls. I'm sure Trump has him on speed dial. And whereas Trump always lies about his number, I'm sure Putin knows the exact numbers. After all, he's the one pulling the strings.

(6,044 posts)their anger may not matter in 2020.
Mueller gave a clear warning about Russia in his report and the FBI is continuing its investigation into Russian hacking and each time information comes out it points to more states affected, more /russian success, and likelihood of extensive hiking in 2020.
Even Jimmy Carter-no fan of H Clinton-recently stated that Trump did to win the 2016 election. (presumably he still gets security briefings.
Putin and Trump just shared a laugh fest over the Russian interference. Many democrats want to believe that if they just nominate the "right" candidate and get 100,000 more votes in 3 states by appealing to either Trump voters or Democrats who decided to not vote or voted for s third party candidate just because they weren't sufficiently excited or whatever, we automatically win.
This is a delusion worthy of cargo cult status built on a combination of ignorance and ideology.
Right now Putin and Republicans are the main drivers of who wins in 2020.

(6,044 posts)Gillum and Graham lost by minuscule amounts. When we lose a Democratic senator , our whole country loses-not just Florida.
Florida was recently informed by FBI that 2 election systems were hacked into by Russian intelligence in 2016- We don't know which two , because that information in currently classified
Getting into those two Florida systems then allowed Russia to enter systems in counties in other states that used the same systems. Florid was a weak link that used damage to our elections even in far away states.
We do know that there was attempted hacking in 50 states and 39 had some degree of being compromised.
In addition to Mueller sounding the alarm about the Russian role in his report, Jimmy Carter has now said that Trump did not win in 2016.
Russia, as far as we know was not a player in 2008 or 2012 when Obama won the state.
So as long as many Democrats ignore the Russian hacking and just claim that all is needed is the "right" candidate, we are at grave risk.
2020 is an apportionment year, every indication is that Russia will be active.
If you have any evidence that all we need is the right candidate please share it because we can't afford to be waste our energy looking for a "right" candidate when the evidence we do have points to a much different strategy being essential.

(36,509 posts)but most Americans aren't feeling it. I also think a lot of Americans are sick of the drama coming out of the White House. It's a 24x7 me-fest & people are sick of him. His numbers might actually go up if he just shut the fuck up.

(34,661 posts)the Rethugs are in a real world of hurt. As the Congressional Hearings ramp up in September and the probable Government shut down looming,these numbers on the minus side will only increase by the news cycles.

So I'm still seeing this as Electoral College competitive and never enough until he's gone from office for good!

(343 posts)I can't believe anybody would fall for that same con twice. First time around, he had no political record. He was a lousy businessman, but you would not know that unless you really looked. Many people bought the "Apprentice" fantasy. Now it is all in the open, he is a lying POS. Who would vote for him again? Enough for him to win? I don't think so but it did happen once.

(6,207 posts)... influence, money, and gerrymandering. They have stacked the court systems starting with the WI Supreme Court. They have been known to miraculously discover late election ballots that have flip elections by just enough to steal the seat.
I was not surprised to see that Wisconsin was one of the states the Russians chose to target for swinging the vote to Trump.
The machinery to implement the altered results was already in place and tested in prior state elections.
I hope the polling data is correct and Trump stays underwater.... BUT until the votes are counted and certified I will be holding my breath.
