Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Politics In General Is it too soon to be talking 2020?

Joe is not ignoring the Rust Belt. He's been in PA making speeches.

How is it even possible that Trump is losing Texas? That would be like Joe Biden losing California.

...just goes to show what a dumbass Donald Trump truly is!

I think the fact that Midwestern states tend to be more socially conservative was a major contributor to Hillary's loss. Hard to ignore all those woman voting for a self-admitted molester over a woman. Why would they do it, besides a deep conviction that the President should be male?

You keep asking that. They are doing some good things and some bad things, it's all a matter of public record and much of it has been reported on the news. Did you hear AOCs speech? It was a barnburner that will be remembered for generations to come.
John Lewis was carried across the Edmund Pettus Bridge one last time and will lie in state in the capital rotunda.
They voted to fully fund the pentagon and Joe Biden is leading in the polls. Democrats are almost universally in favor of the BLM movement and have spoken daily against the presidents failure to respond to the 'rona. They are also challenging in court the right of the president to send in secret police when none are called for.
Biden says there's no reason we couldn't have a public option right now...
What exactly do you want them to be doing?

Representative Jim Clyburn (D) - NC who basically asked NC Black Americans to vote for Joe Biden in NC's primary last February, and essentially resurrected Biden's presidential bid single-handedly, is introducing the John Lewis Voter Reform Act 2020 tomorrow MO 07/27/20.

Let see the ReTHUGlicons try to delay or mess with that piece of legislation. The Dems are basically taunting the GOP to put their white robes on.

And it will die on Mitch McConnell's desk with no one ever having to don the robes.

Speaking of 2020, Amy McGrath is his opponent. I'm somewhat disappointed in her approach and wish she'd try to look and act a little more professional. She always seems to appear in casual clothes, looking a bit unkempt and mumbling some anti McConnell sentiments and asking for money. Godsake girl! Get a stylist with some of those millions you're collecting!

I had a friend, now gone, who lived in Texas. He was a Republican and hugely upset with Trump and the present governor. He told me Texas would be going Democratic. This was just after the new governor tried to actually go to war with the United States army as invaders. He also thought Trump was some kind of cruel joke. Now throw in the Covid-19 disaster. He believed, however, that the people of Texas would take only so much before the went to the other side.

Seems he was right.

Its true, most Dems favor BLM. That being said I know that Seattle is starting to lose its patience. The marches, for the first weeks, were safe and orderly for the most part (except for the first debacle). Now, however, they are getting destruction every night. After a while this gets tiresome and the message gets lost.

They can stop the bad but haven't. Instead they seem to have chosen to try and justify it.

Bad move I fear.

Must not have been a member of {{{{THE BASE}}}}. ALL ... let me repeat .... ALL of the Trump supporters I know (and I know a lot of them) revere Mr Trump as if he is the reincarnation of Jesus. He could literally ... yes literally ... shoot some one on 5th Ave and they would still support him (and they would probably hope the person shot was a Democrat).

These folks are not going anywhere .... they would die with Covid to support Mr Trump
