GOP voters say they enjoy the ‘Trump Show’ but want to see a plan for second term

“The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence, the better it is for the very clear choice on who’s best on public safety, law and order.”

-Kellyanne Conway

The Republican election plan is to turn up the temperature on the protests as much as possible, running nonstop clips of rioting, and turning murderers into heroes. Their election strategy is total nationwide chaos. It’s the “caravan” strategy with Americans fighting and killing each other in the streets.

Trump is a real life version of Leland Gaunt.

The caravan strategy is what gave impetus for the 2018 blue wave that swept the House and narrowed the Senate.
Yes, Twumpy...keep pushing the pure racial fear and the boogeyman script.
The countdown to the next Kyle Rittenhouse has begun and while we watch in horror, a totally innocent life will be claimed by the next copycat.

Glorifying a 17 year old incel vigilante might just be the biggest backfire ever.
 
What's exaggerated is the problem of shootings of unarmed black suspects. In 2019, there were ten such shootings--in total--in the country. Meanwhile, at least seven thousand blacks were murdered and tens of thousands more shot. This isn't about black lives. It's about furthering a leftist agenda, and the leftwing media is largely culpable in furthering it. What these leftist bozos don't understand is blacks want the same thing everyone else does: a chance to prosper and live in peace. Trump gets it. Biden's just a another pimp selling a dream.

You are right about what blacks want, but Trump with his constant race baiting is not it. Discrimination against black people has only increased under Trump’s encouragement.

The Republican Party can’t even get a coherent message around race. Take Nikki Haley:

“In much of the Democratic Party, it's now fashionable to say that America is racist. That is a lie. America is not a racist country,”

then:

"I was a Brown girl, in a Black and white world. We faced discrimination and hardship.”

and:

When Haley ran for governor in 2010, prominent then-state Sen. Jake Knotts, a Republican, referred to the candidate as a “raghead,” or someone who wears a headdress or a turban.

“We already got one raghead in the White House, we don’t need a raghead in the governor’s mansion,” Knotts said on an internet show, incorrectly referring to former President Barack Obama with the same term.

The former ambassador has also said in the past that she had been bullied in the past because of her background.

"I grew up in a small town where we were the only Indian family, and I was bullied because they didn't know if I was black or if I was white," she said.


She says America is not racist then she gives personal examples that shows America is racist???

Every American of color has their own examples.

So far, the Republican convention has been little more than an opportunity to pay homage to Donald Trump and his nepotism family.

There is no GOP party platform, no substance. No policies on the best way to save American lives during the COVID pandemic, nor any understanding that the economy can't be fixed unless COVID is brought under control.

With Hurricane Laura bearing down on the Gulf Coast, let’s remember that two weeks ago Trump took away more than $40 billion from FEMA’s disaster relief fund. Lethal incompetence. And he does not have a plan for pre/post hurricane relief.

Maybe he'll go to Cameron, Louisiana and toss paper towels to the devastated town people like he did in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in 2017.
His agenda for his second term was released earlier this week.

In past conventions, the clamor to repeal Obamacare was deafening. But not this one.

Why? Because Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) has become highly favorable to independent voters. Specifically, among independents, Obamacare has gone from a net -11 percent unfavorable to +16 percent favorable over the past five years.

Opposition to Obamacare Becomes Political Liability for GOP Incumbents

Just like Social Security and Medicare, as people get past the political posturing and understand how it works, it has become another beloved social program.
 
Why are Democrats hoping for Republican votes? I thought this election was in the bag.

I think everyone knows it is not really "in the bag" without Republicans voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
 
Get used to it. Trump is going to be reelected. Americans don't like the chaos they're seeing in Democrat-run states and cities.

"Chaos in Democrat-run states and cities" is typical Republican propaganda.

In large cities, crime overall is down this year. Violent crime overall is down. Murders are up, but murder is up in Republican-led cities too. The thing is, the murder rate has gotten so low that small increases look like major spikes. Compared to twenty years ago it's nothing.

Besides, I thought Trump promised in his inaugural address three and a half years ago to end "this American carnage." The fact is, Obama turned over a comparatively peaceful and healthy nation to Trump. Now look at it.
 
Why are Dems hoping for Repub votes? I thought this election was in the bag.

This is a straw man argument.

In order to beat Trump in both the EC and the popular vote (the latter is in the bag, believe it) Biden will have to pull in swing voters and Republicans. For Texas or Arizona to "turn blue" - even just for this election - it's a given.

trump can win on just his base and a few swing voters. He doesn't need to be broadly popular - as long as he pulls in the same districts as last time, he can win without the popular vote.
 
You should ask the small business owners, many of them black, whose businesses have been torched by "peaceful" protesters whether they believe Fox is exaggerating their circumstances. The fiction is cops are just running amok systematically killing black people. You can blame that on CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WAPO....

I bet you don't live in a or near one of the cities you're so sure has been burned to the ground. I live in Seattle, supposedly a socialist mecca and guess what? No burning city! Wow! Who knew!?!
 
The caravan strategy is what gave impetus for the 2018 blue wave that swept the House and narrowed the Senate.

That and health care. The Republican attempt to repeal the popular Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) failed by one vote. Democrats pounded on this all through the election.
 
Which is what? The RNC decided not to have a platform, so there is no plan.
There's an entire thread on Trump's second term agenda. Search for it.
 
Some of their quotes were awesome and true. I keep saying Trump is a fake populist. I remember when he campaigned before, he promised everybody would have healthcare and it would be better than Obamacare. This year he is mostly running on drug prices which is really incredible, because drug prices are still extremely high and he didn’t give us the healthcare he promised.

He has also promised payroll tax cuts that will threaten Social Security.

If he wins reelection, older Americans will be ****ed so bad. I will have trouble feeling sorry for the Trump supporters in their ranks.

I don't know just what has to happen before the cutting of SS and medicare finally hits the people on SS and Medicare and wakes them up
I guess the SS system has to cut their monthly payments and increases their medicare costs so it hits them in their pocketbook.
I know a lot of people that are on SS and medicare that back Trump and when you bring this up to them they keep saying NO way Trump wouldn't do that and then you turn around and he posts things like he wants to cut the payroll tax or eliminate it and he only strengthens what you just told them.
I really don't know just what Trump has to do before they realize this is serious and he may not be messing around
and I hate to say it, but it might be too late before they wake up and see just what is going on
Have a nice evening

Yeah, you really shouldn't miss it. Trump's "second term agenda" is a real howler.
https://www.debatepolitics.com/2020...-trump-second-term-agenda.html#post1072511547

Something for everyone!

Maybe my favorite is this:
Cut Taxes to Boost Take-Home Pay and Keep Jobs in America
followed quickly by this:
Launch Space Force, Establish Permanent Manned Presence on The Moon and Send the First Manned Mission to Mars
Cut taxes and spend megabucks on a manned mission to Mars! Nah, don't worry about deficits, it'll pay for itself!

And this! Build the World’s Greatest Infrastructure System
Not sure what he was waiting for all this time, but you can take it to the bank; next week is Infrastructure Week!!! (click the link to see the joke)

And everyone gets a pony, too!
 
Oh, and Trump's "second-term agenda" also promises this: Expose Washington’s Money Trail

Seriously, Trump is promising to expose how money flows into his bank account from foreign nations. We'll see how much money Ivanka's trademark extensions in China were worth. He'll publish his tax returns, the whole nine yards.

Promise.

Now see...THIS is why I'm not in any party. THIS is why I don't follow herds. Seriously, why on earth would I want to associate with idiots? That's what those people quoted in that article are...IDIOTS!!.



Now...if Trump's presentation style confuses you, the list is available in text format at Trump's campaign website.

President Trump lays out clear 2nd term vision in RNC acceptance speech | Donald J. Trump for President

On the other hand, maybe that entire article is fake news.
 
Americans don't like the chaos they're seeing in Republican run Washington D.C.

I can tell you are a Fox viewer, because Fox has been exaggerating events. According to them, cities are burning all through America. It just isn't true. There are demonstrations, which are overall peaceful, but when a cop kills a black man unjustifiably, it releases a stream of outrage. The solution is to stop the unjustified killing, not clamp down on the response. Biden said he will address the unjustified killing while Trump's response is the fascist iron boot.

Yeah, NYC was crazy! There were tattooed BLM people running on top of cars, and buildings everywhere. I had to fight through a group of zombies, only to be met by a mob of "Save the Whales" protesters. After fighting my way through that, Biden himself was there urging people to carry on the violence; it was crazy!

(actually, I just got some pizza...the city was fine)

No, there were ten caught on video. There are likely hundreds that weren't caught on video that the police don't have to explain away.

Question: How many cops does it take to shove a handcuffed suspect down a flight of stairs?

Answer: He tripped. You got a problem with that?

Trump has convinced them that he's the American King with Authoritarians Power... he said it in his first campaign, when he claim "he was the only one that could fix American" and these blind minded people did not know those are the words of a Tyrannical Maniac. he called them fools and imbeciles, when he told them he could shoot someone on Fifth Ave and they'd followed him, because they showed they wanted to be a Cult...
He promoted Racism because he knew many of them were as racist as the environment he grew up in as a youth, and lived his life with a racist mentality and a mob agenda, to be a mob boss. he learned it through his daddy, who was in bed with Mobsters and washed money for them and Trump followed directly in their footsteps.
Giuliani jumped on board, because he was the mind that was going to guide Trump through the mine field of laws that are meant to clamp down on Mobsters...
Session was on board, because he believes in the Confederate Ideals of the environment he grew up in, and Bannon is a white nationalist that has some delusion that his skin makes him something that he can never be.

He can't even manage to be a civic respecting human being, and now he's discovered as the thief he always was.


What we are seeing is the outing of the Confederates who have infected our system of American Governance, since their defeat on the battle fields, and they took their war inside our congress and have been wreaking havoc on the nation every since. Every Republican Administration since they became to assume and embrace Southern Dixiecrats Confederacy Ideals and they have damaged and left America in a worst condition and the people facing compounded challenges.

Look at the chaos of Trump, he's created international discord, damaged NATO, damaged the UN and Damaged the WHO and now damaging CDC and damaging FDA... and the discontent and dissension he has spread across the country, as he has ignored every policy and principle and ethics of our Governance System... and we see exactly who has been supporting and enabling him.

His Administration is built of Greed Mongers and Racist... they embrace everything that was the make up of Confederacy Ideology. Treason against the United States of America, is what each and every one of them should be charged with. Strip them of their ill gotten gains and return that money to the United States Treasury. Its the Nation and its People who have been damaged by these types far too long.

The downfall of white nationalism should have happen 50+ yrs ago, and it never should have persisted after the Civil War... nor should it had existed in the Founding of this Nation's Documents that Proclaimed the Name America, as The United States.

Some of the Republican who got duped and talk about low taxes and less government, should have learned, that this nation was built by taxes and slave labor, there is no America without reasonable taxes to support the nation, and there is no less governance, when we need continuing improvements to regulatory governance.

Those things of Low Taxes and Less Government, is directly out of "Confederacy Agenda".... they did not want to pay taxes and they did not want to respect Regulatory Governance.

When right winger who call themselves Conservative white people learn these things... They will learn how they have been led by Confederacy Ideology, and how their mentality has led them to be disrespectful against America and what are American Principles that keep American Democracy Functioning, they might awaken and find out how they became hoodwinked to be led into such anti America circles of madness.

Biden has Trump beat among democrats who love empty rhetoric. For example, Biden promises to end white racism and white privilege in America by a black-centric brand of enforced democrat socialism.
 
Get used to it. Trump is going to be reelected. Americans don't like the chaos they're seeing in Democrat-run states and cities.

If electing Trump will stop it, why is it happening now? Why doesn't he stop it now? Not holding the election hostage, is he?
