King Donald's tariffs and trade wars, his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, his efforts to restrict immigration and end the DACA program, his efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, his disdain of the Black Lives Matter movement, his support of Confederate monuments, his attempts to deny LGBTQ protections, his constant attacks on Joe Biden and the news media and his constant spewing of lies and conspiracy theories are costing him a lot of support – except among Republicans, who tend to worship him almost as much as he worships himself. One hundred twenty-nine days till election day.
Polls deliver more bad news for Trump
Nineteen different polls of voters in swing states released this week show Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden, including in places Republicans are unaccustomed to losing in a general election.

In September and October, the Trump campaign will spend $69 million on television ads in Arizona, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump won each of those states in 2016 but the latest polls show Joe Biden holding sizable leads in Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and small leads in Ohio and North Carolina. Trump must be getting worried about his reelection chances if he's willing to spend so much of his precious money.

On Monday, Trump defended naming military bases and federal buildings after Confederate generals. On Tuesday, he denounced the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing regulation which forbids racial discrimination in housing. Today, he denounced the words "Black lives matter" as a "symbol of hate."

Hundreds of George W. Bush administration officials to back Biden
Reuters, Jul 1 2020 2:11 AM
Hundreds of officials who worked for former Republican President George W. Bush are set to endorse Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden, people involved in the effort said, the latest Republican-led group coming out to oppose the re-election of Donald Trump. The officials, who include Cabinet secretaries and other senior people in the Bush administration, have formed a political action committee, 43 Alumni for Biden, to support the former Vice President in his November 3 race. Bush was the country’s 43rd president. The Super PAC will launch today with a website and Facebook page. It plans to release "testimonial videos" of high-profile Republicans praising Biden and will hold get-out-the-vote efforts in the most competitive states.
The group is the latest of a number of Republican organizations opposing Trump's re-election, yet another sign that he has alienated some in his own party, most recently with his response to the coronavirus pandemic and nationwide protests over racial injustice and police brutality against black Americans.

King Donald is a divider, not a uniter. He praises dictators, white nationalists and Confederate generals and he attacks Democrats, liberals, immigrants and Black Lives Matter protesters. In trying to appeal to the white male voters who make up the majority of his base, King Donald continues to stoke fear, hatred and mistrust and continues to deepen America's racial divisions and cultural divisions. Joe Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates lamented, "Our whole country is suffering through the excruciating costs of having a negligent, divisive president who doesn't give a damn about anything but his own gain – not the sick, not the jobless, not our Constitution and not our troops in harm's way."

Analysis: To save his Presidency, Donald Trump may tear America apart
CNN, Jul 8 2020 12:32 PM
To save his Presidency, Donald Trump may tear America apart. Trump is not even pretending to hide the divisive racial rhetoric on which he's anchoring his bid for a second term. He's running to keep the Confederate flag – seen by many Americans as a symbol of slavery – flying. He's guarding statues that honor generals who took up arms against the United States. He has attacked a black NASCAR driver and even slammed the Washington Redskins football team for finally looking for a less offensive name.
Without a strong economy to carry him through reelection, Trump is picking the most polarizing fight possible: He hopes enough Americans will agree that their White culture is drowning under a multi-ethnic tide for him to run an election campaign on racial grievance. Over the weekend, he turned one of the few nonpolitical moments in American life – Independence Day festivities – into a pageant of paranoia, claiming Marxists, radicals and anarchists are roaming the country and far-left fascism is taking over newsrooms and America's education system. The President is running the most openly demagogic campaign in America's modern history – and it will leave wounds that will take years to heal by whoever wakes up in the White House next January 21.

In the 2018 Presidential election, 23.1% of ballots were cast by mail. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, it would make sense to expand vote-by-mail in 2020 – but Donald Trump insists mail-in ballots lead to widespread voter fraud, mail-in ballots favor Democrats over Republicans and ballots will be stolen from mailboxes. There is zero evidence to support any of those claims. Last month he tweeted yet another outrageous claim: "Rigged 2020 election: Millions of mail-in ballots will be printed by foreign countries. It will be the scandal of our times!" Welcome to Trumpworld, the land of delusions.
GOP to Trump: Change tune on mail-in voting or risk ugly November
CNN, Jul 16 2020 9:03 PM ET
Republican officials throughout the country are reacting with growing alarm to President Donald Trump's attacks on mail-in ballots, saying his unsubstantiated claims of mass voting fraud are already corroding the views of GOP voters, who may ultimately choose not to vote at all if they can't make it to the polls come November. Behind the scenes, top Republicans are urging senior Trump campaign officials to press the President to change his messaging and embrace mail-in voting, warning that the party could lose the battle for control of Congress and the White House if he doesn't change his tune. The impact could be detrimental to the GOP up and down the ticket, according to a bevy of Republican election officials, field operatives, pollsters and lawmakers who are watching the matter closely. Every vote will count in critical battleground states, they argue, fearful that deterring GOP voters from choosing a convenient option to cast their ballots could ultimately sway the outcome of races that are decided by a couple of percentage points.

Trump and Pence attempt a campaign reset as public trust falters
CNN, Jul 18 2020 10:58 AM ET
President Donald Trump attempted to right his faltering reelection campaign this week, looking to stem the steady decline of his poll numbers and shore up eroding support within his key voting bloc – non-college-educated white voters – by redefining his fight against Joe Biden and shaking up his campaign team after a series of stumbles. Trump spent little time trying to lead America out of its coronavirus crisis this week, which was bookended by an erratic Rose Garden press conference Tuesday and a sharply worded campaign speech by Vice President Mike Pence in Wisconsin Friday afternoon.
Clearly losing the battle on messaging, the President and his team sought to reframe the 2020 election as a choice between their agenda of "freedom and opportunity" and what Pence claimed is Biden's vision of an America under "growing control of the state" – a future he said would lead to "socialism and decline." Their aim – in keeping with the President's relentless push to reopen the US economy regardless of the human cost – is to get Americans to focus on anything other than the raging virus while distracting from the administration's flawed effort to control it earlier this year, a diversionary tactic that has not worked so far. After aggressive race-baiting earlier this summer, the Trump team is pivoting with greater focus to the longtime GOP tactic of trying to paint their Democratic opponent as weak and ill-equipped to protect and defend America.

New polls show Joe Biden is winning suburbanites by a historic margin
CNN, Jul 19 2020 12:09 PM ET
The new ABC News/Washington Post poll is the latest to show former Vice President Joe Biden on a roll. He leads President Donald Trump 55% to 40% among registered voters. (It's a slightly tighter 54% to 44% among likely voters). The poll comes on top of other surveys last week from Fox News, NBC News/Wall Street Journal and Quinnipiac University giving Biden anywhere from an 8 to 15 point advantage. Biden's advantage in the polls is most evident in the suburbs, where he is earning a historic amount of support for a Democrat. Biden is up by a 52% to 43% margin among suburban voters in the ABC News/Washington Post poll.
