As Trump struggles to respond to crises, internal polling instills fear in advisers: Sources


I really think that Trumps campaign--and certainly Trump himself, will get uglier as the days go by!

Some advisers say the president needs a course correction before November.

June 10, 2020, 7:36 PM


One week ago President Donald Trump met with advisers from his 2020 re-election campaign, who greeted him with bad news.

The campaign's internal poll numbers showed the president down in swing states, and down with key demographics of voters including women and independents.

The messaging from the White House on the coronavirus pandemic and the growing anger about the brutal killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis was fueling a drop in his numbers. Top aides warned that former Vice President Joe Biden, now the presumptive Democratic nominee, was positioned to defeat the president by a significant number of electoral votes based on the campaign's analysis, according to multiple sources familiar with the meeting.

While some of the president’s advisers insisted the current campaign internal poll numbers aren’t relevant in gauging Trump’s re-election chances this far from November, others among his most loyal and longest serving advisers have developed a new posture: one of increasing alarm. They fear that without a course correction -- and quickly -- Donald Trump could lose the 2020 presidential election. ......................................

Coming from the Trump campaign.

All Joe Biden needs to do is keep telling the truth, look people in the eye, keep doing what he has been doing that is raising his poll numbers. Then select a kick as VP that Trump cannot attack, lest he look even more like the delusional pile of shit that he is.

Compounded by George Floyd's death. This nation is on fire for change &it will happen. It's the will of the people that sets the course of our future, not a rogue corrupt authoritatian administration.

We all know who he is. The MAGATS will vote for him and the other 60% of us will take him out.

Of course the campaign officials are upset, they can’t control the one person who could change it. They do not care about the country, just their jobs and it’s looking more and more likely that they will fail in creating a narrative that will win.
