For Donald Trump, it may already be too late to beat Joe Biden in November
Donald Trump, a man for whom imagery is everything, is said to be livid at the low turnout at Saturdays campaign rally in Tulsa.
Who can blame him? Politicians like crowds, and the president obsessed with ratings and visuals found himself playing to a two-thirds empty room.
Whats ominous for Trumps re-election campaign is that the location was carefully chosen for its presumed red-state reliability. After all, Trump won Oklahoma four years ago by a crushing 36 points; the Sooner state is about as red as red can be. The turnout was supposed to have been so overwhelming that an outdoor stage was built next to the BOK Arena for a second presidential appearance; that was cancelled.
For a man who fears being laughed at, embarrassed and humiliated, it was laughable, embarrassing and humiliating.

(4,483 posts)that the military was one of the groups Trump threatened us with (the others were police and "Bikers for Trump" I think) in case he lost the election--back when he was predicting Civil War if he lost. He's down to cops and bikers, and after police reforms take place, I'm not so sure about the cops.

(21,746 posts)Trump's naked incompetence (while not worse than many conservative Republicans) gives us a rare opportunity to take away their power.
It may be generations before we get another chance this good.

(11,686 posts)There are still to many things going on that could cancel out the vote count. Foriegn influence ( like last time ), more voter suppression on a massive scale, internet misinformation, lack of factual information, and votes against him never getting to be counted.
This all needs to monitored and be corrected on a continual basis. We have much more than just getting people to not only vote but vote for Joe.
Trump DID NOT win last time. He got in by doing all of those things mentioned above and we ignored it to the point where we thought just votes would suffice.
Get people of ours out and start fighting this. I am more specifically talking about correcting internet postings and finding the actual contacts between country governments who are trying to influence the vote for trump and turn them in and work at canceling their sites and keep following them and keep shutting down their new sites. Just make it harder for them to spread false info.
Maybe I have no clue what I am talking about but it seems they are able to do it to us so why can't we do the same?
Suppressing others votes that might vote for him is not what I say we should do because that would make us just as bad as them but try to have facts out there for them to see no matter where they look.

(4,008 posts)I expect we will hear senate republicans speak out more against trump as it gets closer to election and they see poll numbers pummeling. Hoping voters hold their feet to the ground and vote all of them out
