Harwood: Trump Fixated On Race, "Trying To Alarm White Voters About Black And Brown People"
RCP video ^ | 6-27-2020 | Ian Schwartz

CNN White House correspondent John Harwood said President Trump's reelection strategy is to use his fixation on race to rile up white voters about "black and brown people" in the United States.

LEMON: The president is downplaying the pandemic as some kids with sniffles and rambling about race and black people thanking him and on and on. I would like to know who those black people are. But, why? Why is he doing this?

JOHN HARWOOD, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Don, the president is fixated on two distinct ideas. One is that he had this strong economy that was going to, he was going to surf to re-election until he was hit out of the blue by this pandemic.

Now, he didn't build the greatest economy in the world as he says but he is fixated on that. So, what he is trying to do is get back to that by in essence wishing the pandemic away trying to avoid focus on it and shift back to the economy.

The second thing he is fixated on is the idea that racial conflict works for him. It worked for him in 2016 to get the Republican nomination and the presidency. And so, he is beating that drum. Trying to alarm white voters about black and brown people in the United States.

The problem that he has is that the polls show it's not working, in particular it's not working among whites. He carried whites against Hillary Clinton by 20 points in 2016. In the polling that gap narrowed substantially for -- in the direction of Joe Biden. He's got big problems.

Actually, the media is doing a great job of that all on their own.

The sheeple are ascendant. The double whammy of Chinese virus and Marxist rioting have hearts aflutter with anxiety. “Wear a mask!” “Bend a knee!” These are the nostrums called for to be safe. Both are meaningless acts of submission.
The Democrat party claims Trump is the cause of our fear. He failed utterly to take the Chinese virus seriously. This is a damnable lie. It was the
Democrat leadership that railed against Trump for blocking Chinese travel into the US. It has been democrat mayors and governors who slaughtered their seniors without mercy.
The riots are credited to Trump’s purported racism. In fact his substantial inroads into the Black electorate have brought abject terror into the hearts of race hustlers.
The riots are an evil assault on the Trump presidency. Beating down Whitey is not a solution to racism. It is its fullest expression.
Hatred and violence create fear and submission. This is the formula for success adopted by the Democrat party. Will the sheeple grant them a win in November? They do so at the cost of liberty.

Utterly fake poll.

Sample sizes may not add to the total because some demographic characteristics of respondents are unknown.·Based on a New York Times/Siena College poll of 1,337 registered voters from June 17 to June 22.

Not likely voters, just "registered" -- and we know what that means in an age of motor-voter and mail fraud -- and the crosstabs are unknown.

Another instance where the President probably should be doing what they accuse him of doing. Not so directly, but get a population that looks like Mogadishu or Juarez, and don’t be too surprised with the outcome.

It’s not Trump who is alarming White voters.

WE know who white liberal ‘elites’ are because we’ve dealt with them before. John Harwood is a fool:

Well of course. The majority of those seniors probably weren't democrats.

So cnn is saying that, because Trump is gaining a significant number of black and brown votes, he is racist?

This really is an extraordinary and jaw-dropping level of projection. The left’s whole foundation is to fixate on race and to stir people up to hatred, violence, and destruction with misleading propaganda all focused around race. The left treats race as by far the most important human characteristic, and then they have the nerve to claim Trump is fixated on it (???). It is becoming more and more challenging not to see the professional propagandists and their promotion of lies, manipulation, and division as literally evil.

Try less hard. Don’t stretch yourself.

Well said. Race-obsessed Leftists are the true racists just as Trump owns real estate in their TDS-addled minds.
