Advice For The Left If They Want To Win In 2020

That was a classic Trumpster essay. Full of clearly ridiculously false claims, and dripping with the sort of parochial xenophobia that the reactionary right has always reflected.

Trump’s quitting the world stage has weakened us in the world,and has totally undermined any faith anyone in the world has in the reliability of the United States. We are not the shining city on a hill. Trump has betrayed every value that this country stands for, and the world knows it.

Kim Jung Un gave Trump the finger two weeks ago, and Fox didn’t even bother to report it. Which reflects the understanding that Trump’s behavior on the world stage has reduced the US PResident to irrelevance, and that Fox knows that its flat earth audience doesn’t care.

Claiming that Trump is not a pathological liar upends your entire theme instantly.

Trump flagrant lies are not only out there for his mob, which parrots everything he says. But world leaders take it for granted that Trump can’t be trusted. He has less influence on world affairs than any US President since Calvin Coolidge.

This is partly because playing to backwards parochialism is popular with his base. Your post reflects that, as it looks at the Presidency only through the very narrow lens of US domestic party politics.

You’re honest about it. After all, your alternate candidate was Ted Cruz, a man who staged a one man crusade against debt, and drove the United States to the brink of default on its debt, which would have triggered a global depression. Typically, especially for the reactionary right, Cruz promptly forgot about fiscal responsibility once Trump began running towering deficits.

Aside from you support, Cruz and Trump had one other thing in common.

Cambridge Analytica.

Typical TDS rant, though a touch more thoughtful than most. The foreign policy content is empty air. The Trump administration has done very well in that area. Trump himself has been well received, except by the media. The deficits are a talking point, ie 90% spin. The deficit to GDP ratio is about the same, but $120 Billion of the deficit comes solely from higher interest rates. Calling his base uneducated is simple bigotry and forgets that he is attracting traditional Democrats.

Trump and Cruz have something in common, they don't give respect easily, but they do respect each other and work well together.

Strange use of Cambridge Analytical. I have no idea why it's there. Obama did the same thing but no one cared.

And our next President, a Mr. Trump, will win again. 3 years away from one of the largest upsets in political history, and they still have no idea why, or any idea how to prevent losing in 2020.

But Trump still bad.

There's absolutely no evidence that moderates are moving towards Trump. The 2018 midterm elections and the recent elections in Virginia, Kentucky, and Louisiana says otherwise. This is just wishful thinking on the writer's part.

Trump's only hope is the bull**** electoral college again. Because there is no way in hell he is going to win the popular vote, not without Putin's help anyway.

Ummmmm. First of all, I live in Kentucky and Republicans cleaned up in Ky other than the governorship. Second, the electoral college DOES determine the president. Third, most of the swing states are all currently favoring Trump.

The fact that all of the races in KY were competitive is very troubling for Republicans. And they did lose the governorship, the most important statewide office, which is a huge blow to the party in a red state.

And your post does not address my point -- that moderates are leaving the party. If Republicans want to gamble on barely winning the EC every Presidential election while losing the popular vote by millions, be my guest. That's not a strategy for sustained success.

No it's not. If you look at Kentucky history it has always been a deep blue state when it comes to state and local elections. We only vote red in national elections. Republicans only took control of government 4 years ago for the first time in many, many decades. We almost never have a Republican governor. This last election Republicans cleaned up except for the governorship.

Whatever, dude. Have your pyrrhic victory. Go ahead and ignore the 2018 election results. Go ahead and ignore all of the white educated voters leaving the Repug Party. Trump is a cancer on your party, and you're too blind to see it.

You guys ignored election results for several years, losing over 1000 seats to Republicans.

Aw, you're so cute Trix. The entitlement of you people, the audacity, and the sheer delusional thinking that you're even relevant to who the left picks is my complaint.

Keep your nose where it belongs; up Trump's orange ass.
