Trump Holds All the Cards in This Game

While President Donald Trump’s official reelection announcement in Orlando, Florida, attracted more than 100,000 people who wanted to attend, Democrats who plan to run against Trump are struggling to fill their own venues.

The president’s approval rating is now approaching 50 percent and has even topped that mark in some recent polls.

This isn’t how the script for 2019 was supposed to play out, according to the plot known as “Spygate” hatched during the Trump transition period, from November 2016 to January 2017.

According to the script written by the Washington political elite class, Trump, by this point in his brief, ignominious presidency, was supposed to be trapped by extremely low job approval numbers, surrounded by countless investigations as the walls closed in on him, and preparing for impeachment or contemplating resigning—just to end the whole thing.

The reality we are seeing now is far different from what was planned.

The Mueller investigation has ended with a whimper, not a bang. After more than 2 1/2 years, the Trump–Russia collusion narrative was exposed as being a massive hoax perpetrated on the American public with the willing complicity of many in the Fake News media.

Mueller and his team of crack prosecutors, who searched diligently for more than 24 months, were unable to find any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the government of Vladimir Putin. Even on obstruction of justice charges, Mueller and his team refused to come to a conclusion and punted that decision upstairs to Attorney General William Barr, who professed surprise at Mueller for ducking his responsibility on that issue.

As a result of Mueller coming up empty, key Spygate plotters James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and John Brennan have been reduced to lame media appearances,..

Think about this: If Trump’s approval ratings are high (and I think they are), the MSM will never, ever tell us so.

He still needs all our support.

We all have to make sure to get out and vote, not be complacent thinking that he will win anyway and don’t bother, then in the meantime the Dems get everyone else out to vote and then people are surprised, why didn’t Trump win?

I think this is the latest Dem strategy, because riling people up against Trump isn’t working.

They want to win, no matter how.

We all need to see through this and be sure to get out and vote. Every vote does count anf Trump needs every vote.

I was thinking about this the other day. The left is not the type of ideology that relies on community spirit or camaraderie. Rather, the left is an amalgamation of disaffected, splinter groups. Feel-good rallies are not in their DNA. They don't need these sorts of displays.

If this is true, rally attendances might not be a good metric about who wins. 2016 was too close for my tastes, despite Trump's huge rallies.

“...the MSM will never, ever tell us so.”

Well they are the Corrupt Coup Media, after all.

Let the left bring forth their punching bag candidate. Metaphysical exercise will be good for the republic.

Well not directly, of course ... but we can read them indirectly, by observing the level of screechiness and desperatation in their "reporting"

Clearly, they're pretty desperate already

I heard some Democrat telling the audience to expect tampering in the Florida 2020 election. I was almost surprised he/she/shir/ig/etc. didn’t say “and I guarantee it.”

:: Feel-good rallies are not in their DNA. ::

They hold “Festivus” rallies for the airing of grievances.
