Is it just me - or is Trump more clearly morphing into George Wallace 2.0?

Refusing to condemn the “Jews will not replace us” neo-Nazi torchlight parade in Virginia. Spewing hatred for non-whites - foreign or domestic - preaching fear of them - blaming them for society’s controversies. Disregarding the safety of certain children. Railing against the law. Welcoming the infusion of religion into politics.

A sniveling coward - speaking the well worn BS of all bullies - to his ignorant-of-history and therefore unpatriotic true believers.

Trump should read up on Wallace. He may want to stop emulating the same kind of behavior and words that energized Wallace voters. Especially that one guy.

Wallace would have become President if he wasn't shot. Even Hunter S. Thompson preferred Wallace to good ol' Hubert.

"refusing to condemn"... SO WHAT?? It would be one thing if he endorsed them, but picking on him because he's not giving them any more of a spotlight?? Too bad.

km1125 - are you asleep at the friggin switch - my fellow American? Hell YES he should condemn them! By NOT in the strongest terms - condemning neo-Nazis - they read it as an endorsement!! AND - other white supremicists read it that way, too!

As for “picking on” The Great White Dope?

Nope.

You obviously don't understand advertising. "Any press is good press". For Trump, or anyone else, to give them airtime just promotes their cause. Doesn't matter if it's "good" airtime or "bad" airtime, anything is airtime.

Donald Trump in 2020

America adores the Trumps


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Can we get back to predictions?

Tremendous Democratic turnout in 2020 (Google it to find a link that you like, but both New York Times and Washington Examiner are saying it) won't make a bit of difference in the Presidential election because of the Electoral College (more voters in New York and Cali don't add one more EC vote)

However, purple tinged House districts will flip as Republicans attempt not to piss off the President and get picked off one by one. 60 Seat Demo majority.

Senate is a little tougher to determine.. Only one Dem really at risk (Jones, Alabama)
Some experts say that up to 4 Rep seats up for grabs (Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and Maine) and one REAL long shot in Kentucky .

Assuming all other races stay with incumbent Senators and/or parties, Dems would have to win four of the above and NOT lose Alabama to take the majority.. (They would need a net gain of 4) Not likely... and a tie won't work as Pence will still be around to break it.

If I were working for either party, the big race is Kentucky.. Even if they don't get the majority, the Dems have a viable and aggressive candidate who given the resources can really challenge McConnell.. might not beat him, but could hurt him big time.

Nov 3 2020 should be a dramatic, fun to watch night.
