Democrats see danger signs in states where Clinton has not fully engaged
Washington Post ^ | June 25, 2016 | Philip Rucker and John Wagner

Posted on 06/26/2016 7:23:56 PM PDT by Innovative

Hillary Clinton’s campaign strategists look at the general-election map and see a bounty of electoral college votes that are hers for the taking: in Florida and Virginia, Colorado and Nevada — all places where Donald Trump has badly damaged his standing with nonwhites and women.

Yet as Clinton plots her march to the White House, there are warning signs elsewhere — in states where her campaign is not yet making a full investment. And that has sparked concern from allies who say Trump must not be underestimated.

In Michigan, Pennsylvania and, to a lesser extent, Wisconsin, an affinity for Trump’s message of economic populism and nationalism has surprised many Democrats. These are big, industrial states they have carried for the past three decades — and where Clinton, so far, has not fully focused.

Agree that we have to fight like the polls are legit, but we cannot get the USSR Pravda refugees lies go unchallenged.

The spin here is mind-boggling:

1) “Everbody hates Trump. He’s doing terribly with groups X, y, z.”

2) Trump can’t raise money.

3) Trump wasted time.

4) The polls LL show Cankles beating Trump.

“but . . . We are very, very concerned.” Why? If what you said was true, you should be delighted. (They KNOW this stuff is utter trash).

no. 12 is a patently absurd number that she is leading by. I’ve always been a bit naive so it took me a few hours to realize how ridiculous that number was. when another person turned me on to the poll that shows him down by one in a four way race I felt so much better.

"Let’s fight for this like nothing else matters the next 5 months."

Now that's the spirit!
About a month ago I posted about a great fr activism idea having to do with all of us posting on youtube -drawing youtube readers to certain hillary videos. After posting on how to go about this idea for two days, I had ONE (1) person interested. Just One poster posted a comment. - - Right! Sure thing!
I too think most everyone thinks that Trump has it in the bag, so no need to go out of our way on anything.

And on the 23rd, 3 days ago, I came up with another fr activism idea. This one...I consider the very best by far...fr activism idea I've had for all of my 17 years here. It has to do with the democrat convention coming up in July. I have it all written up and ready to post. It's an absolutely superb idea/plan.I was all set to post it in fr activism. But it was late and I decided to wait until the early morning of the 24th, two mornings ago -so as to get a lot of exposure.
But then, in the early morning hours of the 24th, I got to thinking about it and I remembered that there was only One poster interested in that May fr activism idea. So, I've not posted this latest fr activism plan ie the democrats convention -and I'm just going to let it sit here and not sit up in this chair for hours and put forth any more effort on that. I'll just read along like everyone else does. :) Anyway.....working hard here for the next five months is the right way to go.

They’re clearly worried in the Land of the Left. This is the same fishwrap and bird cage lining that just published a poll showing her up double digits. With all that going for her why should they worry about it? It’s because they know Hillary could lose and lose big!

POST IT!!!

I took a break today, but tomorrow is back to volunteering for me. And i hate it but it is what it is!!

I want to SEE you plan.

This thing ain’t in the ####ing bag by a longshot!!! I know the risks i take saying that because 70 percent here think it’s over already.

I can point to a thousand reasons why it’s NOT!!

Is it winnable? VERY!!! But not by saying so on here!!

This is the strongest conservative site in the country and we need to unite and fight!!!

I, for one, will read your idea in full.

Problem is you get hit as a concern troll if you say this thing is far from over!!

I’ll say it again...Blacks, hispanics, single white women, white men under 30, Asians, Jewish population, LGBT...they’re majority the enemy and there’s lots of them.

We need 70/30 white males to win. It CAN be one but ONLY with a lot of hard work!!!!

Not EVERY SINGLE POLL is a lie. I think it’s very close now.

But we must volunteer, donate, get friends out there, and listen to whatever Idea you have!!!!

IMHO anyway.

I DONT want to see finger pointing and weeping on the 8th of November. That will be too late.

I’m already tweeting and facebooking Trump to fire the first shot against fraud!!!

“Polls are fake!!” “No way she can win!!” “He’ll take 40 states!!”

WT# good does that do in winning an election?

none.

He’s NOT down by 12!!! That’s propaganda. But he could be down by 1 to 4. We CAN OVERCOME THAT. He’s been throgh the worst.

But it won’t happen by sitting back. Sorry this got so long.

Everyone—listen up. Pay no attention to that compost heap behind the curtain. This race is over. This clown by the name of Hildabeast does not have a pot to piss in—if she can ever find it. This pathetic piece of worthless subhuman drivel will soon self destruct. Keep the faith and pay no attention to anything out of Washington.

Team Hillary have prepared themselves for a campaign against the likes of a McCain, Bush or Romney where the GOP candidate would pretend to want to be President, and PRETEND to fight....

They are TOTALLY unprepared to have to actually WORK for the Presidency, it was supposed to simply be given to her.

Trump is going to bloody her nose and she won’t have a clue how to respond.

POST IT!!!
I want to SEE

Sorry for the delay in responding. I've started up probably two dozen fr activism threads. It's just too much time to put in once an activism thread has started. And from what I've seen, nowadays, no one is interested in doing fr activism.
Late last week, I spent about four hours thinking this activism thread out, putting it on paper and then formatting it and the appropriate/needed html. Since I found out one particular key component of what the democrats are going to do ...just before their convention, this fr activism idea is absolutely the best I've ever thought through and come up with.
But, what I'm going to do is wait till right after the general election --to post this already prepared and formatted fr activism thread. After the election, we can all examine how we think this would have affected the outcome. (this plan can very possibly make national headlines/perhaps so, perhaps not)
Then, after it's posted here after the general -if there is interest in this one, we can always use it for the 2020 election. So, for now, I'll keep it in reserve. Thank you for your interest dp0622, but things like fr activism seem to be a thing of the past now. (btw, it's a shame because I know exactly what is going on with the democrats in their convention and exactly what some of their plans are just before their convention begins)

If what you have in mind, has ANYTHING at all to do with FREEPERS showing up at the Dem Convention, then you're just NUTS!

The MSM LOVES 'em so anarchists, BLMs, Commies, union members, etc. disrupting/or trying to disrupt GOP Conventions, but "us"? It's only HURT Trump and those who do show up, might get physically harmed or at least hauled off to jail.

The ONLY way to get trump elected, is to convince everyone, including those whom you only slightly know, that Trump is far better than Hillary, tell them the truth about her and back it all up, volunteer to make calls, walk neighborhoods, and take people to the polls who may not have any other way to get there. Also, working at the polls, election day, to keep everything on the up and up is something else many can and must do.

There's NO WAY that getting a millions or more ( good luck with THAT...people on our side WORK ! ) on the D.C, Mall, or whatever, is useless, silly, and wouldn't help Trump in any way! Neither would it even get unbiased, truthful MSM attention/mention, if they even paid any attention at all to it!

And if you aren't willing to share....NEVER POST ABOUT IT AND STATE THAT YOU'LL TELL US ALL MONTHS LATER ! This only makes you look like a git and nobody gives a damn, other than to make fun of you, when such posts are put up.

You're not even close! You're guessing in the wind what I have in mind. You're 180 degrees off.

<><><>

And if you aren't willing to share....

Absolutely not. No one word! Not after I couldn't get but one fr poster to reply to the youtube video activism idea I put forth for two days in mid-May. Now since putting it all down on paper, I came to realize that fr posters nowadays, unlike earlier times, are just not interested in any fr activism.
Did you post a reply to that fr idea in May nopardons. No, you didn't post anything. There was one...one reply. And that youtube idea was pretty darn good. But this one - this one is the ultimate of all fr activism ideas I've ever had. There's just not any interest in fr activism nowadays. So, it's no big deal. We can all discuss it after the general.

<><><>

NEVER POST ABOUT IT AND STATE THAT YOU'LL TELL US ALL MONTHS LATER !

Incorrect. I'll post about it -after the general. It was my four hours that I spent putting this particular fr activism idea down on paper and I'll release it if and when I want to. What fr activism idea have you ever taken the time to put forth nopardons? Nothing, huh. If you don't like the fact that I'll post my plan -after the general election- then you're just outa luck.

<><><>

...other than to make fun of you

Making fun of who? We're all anonymous out here on the internet. Do I care if you get all bent out of shape fussing at a screen name. Funny guy you are nopardons.

And btw, you're posting in bold, screaming. You appear to have become unstable. Chill out. Have a nice glass of cold iced tea.

I dont know the history so I won’t judge you.

I wish there were a little more action and a little less typing.

I dont know how much longer I can do this phone thing. People are just too nasty.

I’d rather work OT and donate :)

Dont lose hope friend. Many of us still care. We are, however, weary.

Trump will need to focus on all 57 states. The way the Dems have skewed the Electoral College voting he'll need to win all of the extra 7 to be sure.

Tues 2:15pm CST- just now seeing this Marvin. I'm assuming you want to know about my fr activism plan. Yes. This will work. (but only if you fr mail me and tell me/nothing will be posted in here in the public domain)

In addition, I'll only divulge my plan to Mr Robinson, HarleyLady27 or dougfromupland -if I'm asked by them. (if not, then it's after the gen)
And I'd only send this to any of them ...via fr mail. (or by me fr mailing them my personal cell phone number and I'll tell them over the phone)

This is because I suspect that hrc campaign workers monitor fr.
(btw, everything involved in my fr plan is completely legal. No demonstrations are involved at any site anywhere. No one will be even be near the convention site period! And of course, no violence of any kind is involved. This is a completely peaceful fr activism plan)
