Donald Trump is facing the prospect of a landslide loss
CNN ^ | June 25,2020 | Chris Cillizza

(CNN)A half dozen new swing-state polls released Thursday morning suggest that not only would President Donald Trump lose if the election were held today, he would lose in a landslide.

The surveys, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, show Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by double digits in Michigan (Biden +11), Wisconsin (Biden +11) and Pennsylvania (Biden+ 10) and by mid-single digits in North Carolina (Biden +9), Arizona (Biden +7) and Florida (Biden +6).

Trump won every one of those states in the 2016 election. Switch them from red to blue and you can quickly see just how bad hings look for Trump at the moment.

And, thanks to CNN's handy dandy "Road to 270" interactive electoral maps, we can do just that! Give Biden those six states -- Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona and Florida -- and keep the rest of the 2020 map just as it was in 2016, and the Democratic nominee has 333 electoral votes to just 205 for Trump. That would be a larger Electoral College margin than President Barack Obama won with in his 2012 reelection.

But even that doesn't capture how dark things could get for Trump. Consider: * A Quinnipiac University poll in Ohio released Wednesday showed Biden at 46% to Trump's 45%. (A Fox News poll released in early June showed Biden at 47% to Trump's 45%). If Ohio went to Biden, he would be at 351 electoral votes. * A Des Moines Register poll earlier this month put Trump at 44% and Biden at 43% in Iowa. Give Biden Iowa and he's at 357 electoral votes.

Told my wife Dec 2019 that this will be the largest landslide in US Election history and I stand by that statement. It will be ugly. The People are not as stupid as CNN would have you believe.

True. If he could just maintain some discipline for the next four months, he might be capable of turning things around.

Unless Trump is willing to fight brainwashing and emotion with emotion, he will lose. All appeals to logic are futile when dealing with chumps. The anarchists will win.

The election is his to lose. We have all the film we need now for effective, powerful commercials.

This isn’t 2016. Biden is an empty vessel to be wherever and whatever people want. They’re tired of Trump’s drama because he can’t control himself. He shouldn’t get re-elected if he can’t get his crap together. What’s his re-election plan? ___________________________________________________________ Only Trump can turn things around.

Biden is also a punching bag. Trump can make him into anything because he has always been a place holder, a non-person. He has 40 years of Gaffs and he is hiding in his bunker.

They are poised to deliver a humiliating defeat to Trump.

Check Rasmussen today. Trump has dropped 4 points virtually overnight. Tucker has a huge following. He is basically asking Trump to do what he can within his authority.

This means make some high profile arrests. Do you think Obama wouldn't have perp walked some opposition by now. The country is almost at a anybody-please-make-it-stop mentality. They are sick of the masks... sick of no arrests on the coup.... sick that the republicans, in general, don't care.

Sure, we as a people have been complacent... but I am one who is damn tired of being asked personally go crawl up on the ramparts.

We elected Trump. He is the Chief executive. It has been - sort of - fine to see him weather the storm and take the shots.... but now... get Barr of his ass and indict somebody on the fuggin' other side for sumpin'.... Is that too much to ask?

The Tweets are looking impotent right now.... really. Flame away if you will, but most of you surely know my history pretty well.

Kind of like my fear of heights. I know I am not going to fall but my legs and stomach still react in fear.

.......................................................

In the late 60s, I had a job working at a lumber mill in a semi rural area. It was within walking distance of my house, so frequently I’d walk home for lunch then walk back to work.

The walk involved walking down the rail road tracks and to break the monotony, I’d walk the rail to see if I could maintain my balance.

I was walking along, concentrating on that rail when suddenly, I ran into something solid.

It was a cow that had wandered onto the track without me noticing. Of course my brain didn’t calmly tell me, “hey, you have run into a cow”, it screamed at me, “TRAIN”!!!

Closest I’ve ever come to having a heart attack.

Your shift to a Noosecar mentality is showing. As in, everything is fine... fine is fine. We'll just label those who don't get on the program as it is.

I was a Trump escalator guy. Been there and will damn well post what the hell I think regardless of what you think.

Canada is a lost cause.

The only hope Western Civilization has is America. I don’t like being dramatic, but people on FR were worried 21 years ago when we were way less socially liberal than we are now. Everything has gone completely mad house now.

Unless something drastically unforeseen happens and the world changes course, we are totally screwed. I don’t think many people thought things would get like this.

Imagine how disquieting it would be if CNN said Trump was likely to win by a landslide.

Seriously. It would make one question reality itself.
