    Underestimate Trump at your own peril. He hardly needs a traditional strategy. He will be formidable and anyone thinking otherwise is misreading 2016 and misreading his poll numbers. And misunderstanding how white power works.https://twitter.com/anitakumar01/status/1100003995622486016 …

        It's more dangerous to overestimate him. He's weak.

        A slice of Trump voters won't vote and Dems will. It's the same change election dynamic as 2006, 2008, 2010, 2014, 2016. The risk isn't losing to Trump, it's nominating a bunch of problematic politicians who don't want to govern, as Dems did in 2018. That way lies fascism in 2024

        Telling Dem voters Trump is a strong candidate only encourages Dems to be fearful and accept bad cynical candidates who can prey on their fears instead of candidates with good values. Dem voters are confused and panicky, which is why Dem pols manipulate them.

        Quite frankly I don’t have any faith in the majority of White people doing anything different than what they did in 2016. For the most part, no one willingly relinquishes power.

        A few have woken up but I hear you! Even if they vote against Trump in 2020, it'll just be "whew, now we can get back to our normal racsim" because it won't affect white people anymore

        Then again many of his top 2016 campaign staff members will be in prison by 2020.

        You are absolutely right Shaun. He lacked a cohesive strategy in 2016 & yet here we are. Campaign managers coming & going staff here & there still he won. He should not be underestimated. Somehow chaos works for him

        No one is underestimating Trump or his supporters. I wonder will you support the Dem nominee this time or tell ppl not to vote or it’s ok to stay home? We need voter turnout to defeat Trump. You have a big platform, what will you do?

        He has a strategy... get the Russians to hack; change ballots; stop Dems from voting; close election sites in minority neighborhoods and steal the election...again.

        Oh shut the heck up you deranged weirdo. You need therapy stat. Truth is racism was all but extinguished before people like you started with identity politics ,and you know it. You push the racism narrative to justify your demented platform.

        This started out as a well formed thought & quickly went stupid. This isn’t race politics, as much as you race baiters would love to see. I really hope that citizens of the USA will have a strong, competent & level headed candidate to vote for, elect & heal the country.
