It's Trump's belief that doubling down on Islamophobia & bigotry is going to help him win in 2020. I understand the calculation. I think it will indeed excite his bigoted base. They love it. But he's misunderstanding why he won in 2016. Nobody understands this more than Bernie

Trump is not focused on Ilhan Omar because he has a legitimate grievance with her over 9/11 or anti-Semitism. He doesn't care about either of those things. Trump is desperate for an enemy that plays on the bigotry & sexism & Islamophobia deeply embedded in his base.

Hope you’re right. Especially here in North Carolina. Like elsewhere, the cities are inclusive.

Yep. That’s what I think, too. His base is not budging but that means it’s not growing. But we are.

It won't win him the popular vote either. Time for some electoral changes perhaps, finally.

Um, he might win Ohio. It all depends on job losses and farmers that aren't die-hards. The more disgusted people get, the better we off we are sadly. Signet jewelers is laying off on Tuesday, BTW- big OH employer. Every kiss-off begins with Kay's!

It will win him Ohio. I’m here, he’s still worshipped and can do no wrong. If anything, he has gained more followers

Exactly. Ohio has shifted right very quickly

Or Wisconsin or Pennsylvania. It was his opposition to the trade deals that won him those states. He convinced a lot of ppl he wasn’t going to outsource their jobs like Hillary would

It did before. SJW fearmongering is part of what helped that, too.
