Fox News Shows A Looming Disaster For Trump As Biden Leads In Florida

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Without carrying Florida in November, it’s difficult to imagine a scenario in which Donald Trump wins another four years in the White House.
That’s why a new poll from the president’s favorite cable network, Fox News, is likely to trigger alarm bells in MAGA world as former vice president Joe Biden leads Trump in the critical swing state.
According to the survey, Sunshine state voters prefer Biden over Trump by three percentage points, 46 percent to 43 percent.

One early poll is no reason to be complacent.

[JennyMominFL]

1. Actually

There have been a couple of Florida polls in the last few weeks with Biden up with good numbers. One had him up by 7 or so

[guillaumeb]

2. This was a Fox poll.

The GOP response will be to cheat more.

14. Fox's polls are actually pretty good

They sometimes report the polls with a partisan spin, but the polls themselves use two reputable pollsters (one Democrat, one Republican). I believe Fox polls have an A- rating from 538.

3. Aye. Reason for encouragement, but never complacency. n/t

4. It is not one poll and not one state. Biden is leading in all of the battleground states and then

some. Still no reason to be complacent but Trumpy fades more the longer this shit show continues.

6. Trump is hurting himself with these briefings.

And this particular poll is from Fox, so he cannot dismiss it as fake news.

[yellowcanine]

15. He sounds more like "Baghdad Bob" every day.

Baghdad Bob on the Invasion
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf made so many statements as information minister. Here is a sampling of some of his more outlandish quotes:

"There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"
"My feelings, as usual, we will slaughter them all."
"Our initial assessment is that they will all die."
"No I am not scared and neither should you be!"
"We will welcome them with bullets and shoes."
"They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion ... they are trying to sell to the others an illusion."
"Faltering forces of infidels cannot just enter a country of 26 million people and lay besiege to them! They are the ones who will find themselves under siege. Therefore, in reality, whatever this miserable Rumsfeld has been saying, he was talking about his own forces. Now even the American command is under siege."
"Washington has thrown their soldiers on the fire."
"They fled. The American louts fled. Indeed, concerning the fighting waged by the heroes of the Arab Socialist Baath Party yesterday, one amazing thing really is the cowardice of the American soldiers. we had not anticipated this."
"God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis."
"They tried to bring a small number of tanks and personnel carriers in through al-Durah but they were surrounded and most of their infidels had their throats cut."
"I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that they have started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad. We will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly."

16. Watched. It was a brief breifing.

They walked off and refused to answer questions.

Birx and Fausi were not there.

19. Maybe he is hearing from his advisers that his rallies are hurting him.

I say, trust your gut Trump, and keep on lying.

5. A clarion call to elections officials to purge voters from the rolls; decrease the

number of precincts; program the machines to vote for dump, etc.

[guillaumeb]

7. Exactly.

If the GOP cannot win on the issues, cheating is the solution.

[FM123]

8. We now have more registered Democrats than registered repugs in Florida so the math def helps!

[guillaumeb]

9. True, but voting is essential.

And every one of those Democratic voters should check that they are still registered at least 60 days before the election.

[FM123]

17. Yes, it sure is!

Down here in South Florida we are a blue pocket so we expect all kinds of shenanigans - they have never NOT tried to pull something shady. We try to be as diligent as we can. I remember back in 2016 all three of my kids were in college, two were out of state, we kept checking over and over again on the county website to make sure the absentee ballots they mailed back were received and counted. We did the same with my 91 year old dad's ballot.

10. I must be different than most

I have a tendency to work harder with Good news and good polls. I have never understood the predictable “don’t get complacent” posts after a good poll is shown on DU. Bad polls demotivate me and good ones energize me. I guess I’m not a typical liberal.

[guillaumeb]

12. Good news means, or should mean, to keep up the good work,

not rest.

[lpbk2713]

11. Look for election fraud on several fronts.

They won't want to miss any opportunity to steal another election.

Maybe they will call in Katherine Harris as a special advisor.

[guillaumeb]

13. It worked in 2000, and 2016.

It is the real GOP strategy.

[Aristus]

18. Interesting. But. believe it or not, Arizona may play a part, too.

I read an article that states that there is no electoral math, none, that shows Trump winning without Arizona. When I read that, I donated to Arizona's Democratic party.

[guillaumeb]

20. In my view, Trump's briefings emphasize his own utter lack of knowledge,

and his inability to solve problems.
