Trump campaign adviser predicts Trump will win states he lost in 2016 — and beat Biden in November
Yahoo News ^ | Suzanne SmalleyReporter,Yahoo News•August 25, 2020

Posted on 08/25/2020 8:11:32 PM PDT by 11th_VA

David Bossie, the president of the conservative advocacy group Citizens United and an advisor to Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, told Yahoo News on Tuesday he believes the president will win three states in the 2020 election that he narrowly lost in 2016 — and potentially clinch victory as a result.

Bossie, who was deputy chairman of Trump’s successful 2016 campaign, was briefly ousted from the president’s inner circle after allegations last year that he was using one of his political groups to profit off the president. But Bossie, who denies the charges, has recently been welcomed back to Trump’s inner circle and appeared with the president’s Capitol Hill allies at the House impeachment hearings and in other high-profile settings. A longtime Trump confidant, Bossie is serving as co-chairman of Trump’s Maryland campaign team and speaks regularly with the president and his reelection team, he said.

In a Tuesday interview with the “Skullduggery” podcast, Bossie said Trump’s campaign leadership is “really focused on the battleground states that are important and that are in a very good place to take that nine-week run to the finish line.” Recent Yahoo News polling shows that while Biden did not get a post-convention bounce, the former vice president nonetheless leads Trump by 11 points nationally among registered voters.

Still, Bossie predicted that Trump will win in part by flipping states he narrowly lost last time.

“Nevada is definitely in play, Minnesota is 100 percent winnable, and New Hampshire,” Bossie said. “All three of those states the president can and probably will win.”

Even if you know that Republicans in your county will win by a landslide, vote! Do it to make sure that we win the *popular* vote by as much as possible!

Because that would make a statement that would have an effect on domestic enemies and encourage all who are fed up with them.

No, although Oregon will be closer than Washington.

Virginia, is forever DARK blue. They can’t even have local Repubs. You may live there, but don’t get your hopes up!

Minnesota is more winnable than Virginia, which is astounding, but a reflection of the disparate economic conditions over the last few decades. Virginia and Colorado have fallen so fast and so far while increasing technology jobs.

(Virginia) They can’t even have local Repubs

“What Happened in Staunton” on Tuesday? “Canary in the Coalmine,” or What?

Among the interesting municipal election results here in Virginia on Tuesday (May 19, 2020), one that stands out is Staunton, where there were some “big changes”: “With all precincts reporting, conservative candidates Steve Claffey, Andrea Oakes, Mark Robertson and Amy Darby saw wins in the Staunton City Council election,” while incumbents Ophie Kier, Erik Curren and James Harrington all lost their seats. The result? As the Augusta Free Press reports: “What happened in Staunton? Massive turnout flips Queen City from blue to red”: “Democrats got their voters out better than they have in a May cycle in years. Republicans got turnout more akin to, not quite a presidential year, but approaching gubernatorial.

The 2A citizens are organized in VA ... WATCH what happens Nov 3rd

Other commenters here don’t seem to agree with you that Virginia is in play. What do you think of your new state Chairan Rich Anderson and new National Committeewoman Patti Lyman? I know Patti from a FB group and radio appearances. She sure has the enthusiasm.

Chairman, Prince George’s County GOP

Although it was just one little election, I hope that the Staunton city council election earlier this year is a harbinger for VA. It seems like everyone has forgotten about that.

Yahoo has polls?
Since when?
Do they use the same secret sauce as CNN (Biden is leading by 15%)?
