‘This hits home to the American people’: Reporter says Trump’s Post Office attack was a massive blunder

President Donald Trump’s attacks on the United States Postal Service ahead of the 2020 election could backfire massively, according to Time Magazine political reporter Molly Ball.

Appearing on CNN Monday, Ball said that even many conservative voters won’t be happy to see their mail service disrupted ahead of the 2020 presidential election, regardless of how they feel about the president’s claims about mail-in voting.

Because of this, she said, Democrats feel they can go on the offensive.

“I think the Democrats sense that they have the politics on their side on this, and the way you see Republicans behaving backs that up,” she said. “The Postal Service is a tremendously popular institution, and it’s something that touches literally every American where they live. People like getting the mail, people notice when the mail doesn’t come on any particular day, especially when so many of us are stuck at home.”

1. Are they not targeting blue areas?

6. Mail sources and destinations are EVERYWHERE. Trump is a fool if he thinks he can target.

3. We do have the politics on our side

But we need to restore the logistics so that they are on our side too. Return the mail sorting machines.

The game is to remove mail sorting machines from heavily Democratic areas in Red and battleground states. We have to restore them! (Why them removed sorting machines from Los Angeles I have no earthly clue!)

4. Massive blunder for MF45?

I'm not seeing it put any kind of dent in his seemingly unmovable 40%.

will vote for Trump even if he pees on their floors and rapes their daughters...you know why?...he puts a voice to their racial, ethnic, gender hate...it's ok for cops to kill blacks, cage babies, ban muslims..it's ok to lie, cheat, steal...it's ok to dehumanize "the other"..it's ok their guy is a sexual predator, a deviant, desires his daughter...and it's ok grandma died from covid...not his fault, blame the Chinese..

Trump can keep his 40%....they are not welcome in our tent

7. No, but the 12% who are movable will move, and the 51% who hate him,

now hate him more, and are making plans to ensure our votes count.

8. "Blunder"? Like calling a 2nd wife by the 1st wife's name?

A “blunder” is “a stupid or careless mistake; act or speak clumsily.“

Not stupid, It is strategic.
Not careless, It is intentional.

The home invasion was one big blunder.
