GOP fears a wipeout — and has ‘never seen the left more engaged or organized’ than in 2020: veteran reporter Republican officials in the Midwest are starting to feel spooked by the intensity that has been driving Democratic voters to the polls in big numbers so far this year. According to Politico reporter Tim Alberta, GOP operatives in Michigan and Wisconsin say “they’ve never seen the left so engaged and organized — not even during Obama’s 2008 campaign” when he defeated the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) by seven percentage points. Although Alberta does not believe this guarantees Biden will win, he does think it’s a marked change from 2016 when enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton’s candidacy was decidedly low. Alberta also believes that the GOP as a whole is likely to quickly toss Trump overboard should be get blown out by Biden on November 3rd, as many of them will be itching to forget about the president and move on to future elections. “The overwhelming majority of Republicans, confronted with the reality of a landslide defeat in the Electoral College, will realize that it’s time to see Trump out — and time to look ahead to 2024,” he predicts.
Regarding Trump being a phase, I highly recommend you see out the youtube video of Ben Shapiro interviewing Piers Morgan. Piers talks about what led to Trump, what has led to populism and where Liberals have gone wrong (from Piers, who is one of the most Liberal on television).
This kind of phase. ‘No leadership’: Former Trump official details how difficult it was to protect America during the last 4 years — because of the ‘chaos’ president A former Homeland Security official is speaking out about the difficulty she faced trying to protect the country while working in President Donald Trump’s administration. Elizabeth Neumann, former Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Counterterrorism and Threat Prevention, penned an op-ed that was published to USA Today on Tuesday morning. According to Neumann, Trump’s erratic and combative behavior during the first presidential debate was nothing more than a glimpse into how he governs on a daily basis inside the White House. “Everything we saw during the first presidential debate is indicative of how President Donald Trump behaves in the White House,” Neumann said. Neumann went on to offer a vivid description of Trump’s business model as she slammed the president for his lack of organization and leadership. Neumann, a known Conservative who admits she supported Trump in 2016, revealed debate moderator and Fox News host Chris Wallace experienced what White House staffers experience on a regular day. She added, “His business model is chaos. He has no organization, no leadership, and sees every interaction as a contest or a battle, even when it doesn’t have to be. Chris Wallace now knows how so many administration staffers feel — and how I felt when the president got in the way of me doing my job. He is dangerous for our country. My time in office coincided with a dramatic rise in white nationalist violence, but my colleagues and I couldn’t get the president to help address the problem. At the debate, America saw what I saw in the administration: President Trump refuses to distance himself from white nationalists. Neumann recalled the terrorist attack in El Paso as she explained how Trump’s rhetoric influences the actions of extremist groups. “I realized after watching the White House response to the terrorist attack in El Paso that his rhetoric was a recruitment tool for violent extremist groups,” Neumann wrote. “The president bears some responsibility for the deaths of Americans at the hands of these violent extremists.” She concluded with a reminder about the government’s role in protecting the American public as she posed a compelling question about supporting Trump for a second presidential term. “Your government is supposed to perform some basic functions; keeping you and your family safe is primary among them,” she said. “In 2016, I voted for President Trump. But when someone asked me if I could vote for him again, after he time and again refused to keep Americans safe — how could I say anything but no?”
It's an hour long, but it's a fascinating interview. It changed my viewpoints on Piers completely. I had previously only heard about him through the insults the right had thrown his way, and I considered him to be a complete lunatic and not worthy of listening. I was wrong completely. The part I mention begins around 42 minutes, but if you have the chance, the entire interview is just amazing.
