The Battle We Can’t Afford to Lose
Townhall.com ^ | July 13, 2020 | Terry Paulson

My optimism for the future of America has been rocked by my growing concern for what the left has become, the lack of a balanced media, and my fear of what a Biden victory in November would mean. The left is engaged in an all out war to take down President Trump in any way possible.

So many of us are furious and saddened by what we see on the streets of America. We see hoodlums and thugs trashing businesses, harassing citizens, murdering even children, intimidating weak politicians, and getting their way on the streets of many Democrat-controlled American cities. Whole city blocks were given over to lawless protestors while law enforcement was forced to watch as a their East Precinct was abandoned. We see citizens forced to use weapons to protect their own homes and businesses from threatening mobs. Once arrested, many rioters are too often released, free to continue their attacks.

The left, emboldened by the displays of dissatisfaction with the current administration and current poll numbers, are sure the public is behind them. But rest assured that the visible but relatively small segment of our population demonstrating does not speak for all Americans. Many do not support the extreme demands for social justice, the defunding of law enforcement, and the radical transformation of America that Democrats support.

COVID-19 has sent most responsible Americans into their homes. They’re watching the riots and the destruction. They see professional NBA and NFL players talking about wanting Colin Kaepernick to be their go-to-expert on racial justice and collectively taking a knee during the playing of our national anthem. If they do so, they’ll be amazed at how quickly many patriotic fans turn to another channel. Watching overpaid athletes taking a knee in a country that has helped them make millions of dollars playing a “game” will enrage and turn off far more than it will garner support.

Trump supporters have seen the president they elected and who has delivered on key priorities and promises attacked daily by the far-left media. Instead of being swayed by the predominately one-sided coverage, they’re eager to surprise the pundits again by re-electing Trump to a second term. Why? Let’s count the ways.

Supporters want four more years of appointing more originalist justices to lower federal courts and hopefully to the Supreme Court. The president has successfully appointed and secured approval for nearly 200 federal judges who are already making a difference. We want more to help stop liberal judges from legislating from the bench.

Supporters want four more years to build more wall on our Southern border. They finally have a president who is making it harder for illegal immigrants to come into this country and take jobs Americans desperately need. Most want legal immigration but not illegal immigration.

Supporters know that Trump’s policies helped unleash a vibrant economy and more jobs once, and they want him to do it again. Democrats want increased taxes, more regulations, a return to affirmative action policies, and funding for expanded entitlements. Supporters want an administration where working Americans will keep more of what they’ve earned. If you want a “living wage,” earn it.

Supporters want four more years to improve our schools. Instead of letting teachers unions control our schools, it’s time to give Americans school choice! Let parents reward excellence by choosing and funding schools that work. Competition works; it will work in education.

Supporters want four more years to stand firmly for law and order. Defunding police is insane at a time our Democrat-controlled major cities are too often unwilling to maintain order. We need a president who will support law enforcement committed to holding criminals of all races accountable and keep responsible citizens safe.

What is the Democrat’s answer to the national challenges we now face? Elect Joe Biden. Joe Biden is a shell of the man he used to be, and even the man he used to be should never even be considered to lead this great country. They hide him in his basement and give him scripts to keep him from making more embarrassing gaffes.

It’s time to secure America’s future! In November. We must not just re-elect Trump; we must expand Republican seats in the Senate and take back the House. We need to send Nancy Pelosi into retirement. We must ensure that the margin in November is so great that even cheating won’t get Democrats close!

They lost the election when the first brick was thrown.

People of all races are fed up...

They vastly over estimate thier support...and underestimate how out numbered they are.

As someone pointed out on another thread:

President Trump is a first-time politician, he’s been president less than 4 years, and he is running on his accomplishments.
Joe Biden has been a politician for 40 years, and he is running on what he is hoping to accomplish in the future.

If you include the 50 million non-citizens living in the USA then we are the ones outnumbered. Take a look at California.

Those 50 million will just continue to increase. It will only end when the USA collapses and at least twenty million (them or us) are killed in the next war.

The USA is headed full steam ahead over the cliff to Venezuela.

A Biden win means the mob kicks in your door. If you successfully defend yourself, then the police will come for you. We don’t have a country anymore. It’s about like the first Mad Max movie but with cheaper gas (oddly enough). Society is collapsing. Buy ammo. If you live in a city, get out. It’s only going to get worse.

President Donald J. Trump WON re-election the second the riots first began.

That's why we need a campaign to paint MAGA on streets across America.

What's good for the goose.

Lenin, if he were to come back to life, would be most pleased with the USA.

Leftist life begins with Medicaid paid for birthing and ends with a $255 SS burial benefit.

Not to nit pick, but Biden has been a politician for close to 50 years. When he was first elected, we still had Apollo astronauts walking on the moon!

This country is going to be a Democratic one party state.

The Republican Party continues to dig its grave with things like McConnell’s $2 trillion handout bill and Trump’s DACA2.

I am 25 miles west of Chicago. I will be 70 next year. My wife is a semi-invalid. We’ll make our last stand here.

they are not out numbered;
................................................
What is your evidence of that, other than push polls and extremely biased and lying media? I think it’s more likely that there are tens of millions of silent voters everywhere in the country who are going to ensure Trump’s re-election in a landslide. What’s my evidence? Only what seems to me to be commonsense concerning how rational people will respond to the kind of public behavior they see the Left now engaging in all over the country.

My wife and I are in our late 70s. We moved away from D.C. immediately upon retirement to a mountain farm a hundred and fifty miles west. Most people around here are locked and loaded, and are patiently waiting for the targets to pop up. I anticipate there’s going to be a slaughter of civil war proportions if/when the enemy advances from the public domain to private property!

Al gore and Hillary clinton both won the popular vote. There were more of them than there are of us at those elections.

The democrats control the cities where the population of voters is dense.

If not more, then the quantity is at least equal. Polls are not reliable because the parameters can be skewed to achieve a desired result.

The only real poll is the election and that can be skewed by fraud and chicanery.

For instance, vote by mail will be stolen by the leftwing postal unions. It will not cease until some of them die for their fraudulent cause. BLM means they understand death

We haven’t had even 65% eligible turnout for presidential elections in 100+ years, most of the time it has been waaaay below that. Turnout in 2016 was down, even though I thought for sure it would be high. Point being there are vast numbers of people who simply do not care enough one way or the other to vote about their concerns. A concrete sign that people are really worried is if there is a huge bump in turnout for 2020.

Of course turnout might be huge simply because of the numbers who will vote by mail this time.

I have no evidence to dispute this, but I’m curious about just how the postal unions could actually manage to do that.
