It really helps if you stop letting the MSM tell you what to think.
There aren't enough reps in a week to to agree with this. Your statement, in a nutshell, could be applied to 80% of these threads in P&OC. 👌

In 2016, Trump’s base was Evangelicals, low information/under educated caucasians, and just enuff coal miners and jobless mfg workers in 3 states which he won by 77,000 votes.

Trump also had helpfrom Putin and Comey’s “more emails” scare one week before the election. (Interestingly, Trump hates Comey who put him in the White House).

He’s since 2016 losing women and, I’m guessing, the mfg workers in those states who are still waiting for their jobs to come back.

His approval ratings were never good and they’r now tanking. (The pols were off by 1-2% in 2016 due to the last minute Comey “warning.” His approval ratings are a helluva lot more than 2% off).

Not looking good for Trump - despite great economy

No, this was authored by someone that actually has a lick going for them outside the Trump-o-sphere.
Yes.....someone who has probably never really worked in the Whitehouse or anywhere else for Trump. Someone who probably cut their chops writing editorials for a small town paper like the Poughkeepsie Journal, then slid in to the NYT, right down the greasy hallway.

In the current atmosphere where MSM is pi$$ed that it's being accused of biased journalism, this comes off as nothing more than flung poo. If this was/is true, then come out with it full on - names and all.

Don’t watch CNN, so no, I wouldn’t know what they have to say (or not say) about anything. Thanks for the info.

Yes, his supporters are not "old white men." (And I know a lot of old white men--they despise Trump.)

He has alienated women by his anti abortion stance and by many of his supporters who seem to think that a woman's place is in the home--no matter what she is interested in doing.

Who knows? His approval ratings may go up again but so many people dislike him and with women coming to the forefront more and more, he's mostly doomed.

He won the college educated white male vote.

He also won the college educated white female vote.

But keep saying it. Maybe one day it will come true.

We'll know in 60 days. There will be a poll on November 6th that will be deadly accurate.

I’m talking about the poll that matters. The actual election results. The guy I was responding to made a false statement. Nothing that happens 60 days from now will make that statement true.

Of course. But the statement I bolded in his post was about the 2016 election, not some future election.

Edit: Here is a link to the election results from 2016. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank...der-education/

England, one thing I never could understand is that urban college educated married women voted for Trump despite “I can p*ssy grab” and multiple marriages and multiple women on the side etc. Looks like they’ve wised-up now - maybe because of Stormy Daniels etc.....aka, enuff is enuff
