[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Americans are blaming Trump and his perennial low 40s approval is going down below 40 sooner or later. This isn’t gonna help him add new voters for sure. He started with a 3 million vote deficit and in 2018 mid term PA,MI,WI,IA,AZ,GA,TX, NC etc has moved left. He has driven away women of all color, Hispanics, Asians, and of course blacks. This is not gonna end well for the conman in chief. He has lost support in every single state since he was selected by the Slavery era EC in 2016.

I mean he’s definitely lost some support around the margins, but we just had mid-term elections and those states aren’t moving Democratic enough to ensure he’s defeated in 2020. Best case scenario Dems win narrowly, same states as 2016 but adding 3 narrow victories in PA/WI/MI. I don’t think the other states are going to vote for a D for president any time soon although it’s definitely true that statewide, D’s are having more success in those states. [/quote]

You are living in fools paradise. Keep living there. AZ elected it’s first dem senator in 3 decades. IA elected 3/4 dem reps and it used to be 1/4 before 2018. PA gave 3 more reps and dems won statewide elections by over 10% (PA used to be a 5% margin state for dems ). GA almost elected a dem gov despite voter suppression and dems added a house seat. TX Beto came within 3% in the mid term and 2020TX becomes purple state. NC is gonna give NC9 to dems after GOP was caught red handed in election fraud. WI and MI gave dems a bigger margin than even in 2008.

Overall dems won the house by 9%(the highest in recorded history)  and got 40 seats , the highest since Nixon.

And all this in a mid term election when the gop is supposed to be voting and dems don’t vote as much. Imagine what will happen in presidential year when dems actually come out in droves to vote.

Trump has totally lost many of his voters because he hasn’t changed anything but pass another tax cuts for the wealthy. There are no more coal, steel jobs in thousands. Opioid addiction reaches its worst in 2018. And farms are suffering due to trade war and tariffs. He hasn’t made China bow to him and instead has crashed the stock market and Agri market. [/quote]

I’m the PP and I’m a Democrat just very pessimistic. I see states like Ohio, Iowa, and Florida completely getting away from D’s, going from swing states to red states, while some of the states you mentioned (AZ, NC, TX, etc.) aren’t turning blue fast enough. I still feel like in 2020 it’s going to come down to less than 100,000 votes in the Midwest again just like 2016. [/quote]

Iowa elected 3 dems out of 4 congressional seats in 2018 while they had only 1/4 before. OH elected a dem senator statewide with over 10% margin. So both OH and IA are very much in play.FL is a swing state as both the senator(rick scott who is popular) and governor(Gillum lost because he is black and also due to the fbi investigation) elections were won by less than 0.5% margin.

NC is absolutely not too far off. Triangle counties are growing like 100K every year and they vote 60% dem. So NC is very much in play in 2020.

AZ just elected a dem senator and a gay one to boot. So AZ is joining NC in 2020. TX may not be ready for 2020 but it will force the gop to spend there.[/quote]
