Trump*/GOP Losing Ground

The more time goes on, the better things look for Democrats in November, as criminal Fuhrer Trump* could not be doing more to sabotage himself and the Republican Reich, it he tried.  Nevertheless, we cannot use this as an excuse for complacency.

0605Polls

…Start here: Trump got 306 electoral votes in his 2016 win. Now, consider these 2020 scenarios (all calculations made via 270towin.com):

* If Trump loses Texas (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden, 270 electoral votes to 268 electoral votes.

* If Trump loses Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 278 to 260.

* If Trump loses Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 279 to 259.

* If Trump loses Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 276 to 262.

* If Trump loses Arizona, Ohio and Wisconsin (and wins everywhere else he won in 2016), he loses to Biden 271 to 267.

The point here is not to say any of these electoral map scenarios are locked in. After all, we are still 152 days away from the November 3 election. (And, yes, I counted.)

Rather, they are to note that Biden, as of right now, has a WHOLE lot of different paths to 270 electoral votes, while Trump has a dwindling number. And of course, the polls on released on Wednesday don’t even deal with potential trouble spots for Trump in Florida, North Carolina and Georgia — all of which he won in 2016…  [emphasis added]

Trump* is beginning to panic.

New Polls Put Trump In A Perilous Political Position

Trump calls campaign meeting as poll numbers fall

The Senate is slipping from Republicans

In this Republican den of horrors, we all need some good news to give us hope and keep us sane, but remember this.  If you aren’t saying everything you can, you aren’t saying enough.  If you aren’t working as much as you can, you aren’t working enough.  If you aren’t helping all you can, you aren’t helping enough.  If you aren’t giving all you can, you aren’t giving enough.  If you aren’t doing all you can, you aren’t doing enough.

Here are the results of our “Trump* Virus” Poll.  Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories.   Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population.  Nevertheless, our polls are usually factually accurate, and more often than not, they reflect the thinking of the majority of those who actually do think.

I
voted the highest because tRump is going to steer away from keeping our country
safe and get too many states to open too quickly and people are going to be the
ones to suffer.

I
voted the highest because Trump is a sociopath and his minions will do whatever
he wants; many of them are sociopaths and certainly I’d call them No
Hearts.

we
will never know a true # since counting deaths is now political and not medical,
but will be many more than the administration states……and that doesn’t count
the collateral mortality and morbidity due to being
unprepared…….

cannot blame Drumpf for the virus and or pandemic, but
his self-centered, nationalistic, cheap budget and ignorance have caused much
unnecessary effects….and deaths

I
voted over 100,00 because too many states are opening up too soon. Their greed
will kill too many. The imbeciles are storming State Capitols and crowding
together like the herd beasts they are.

Unfortunately, I too, feel that this is going to
escalate with more folks passing on.

I
voted over 100K. Too many unknowns about this virus and too many idiots in
America not caring about spreading the virus.

From
what I’ve read it’s mutated at least three times. Too many people are going to
depend on herd immunity. I don’t think this is the virus to think that will
happen. I think we’ll live with it like HIV/AIDS or Ebolla. I don’t see a
cure.

I
voted 20,001-50,000 and think that it will be at the top end. 1) The
administration has shown no leadership except incompetent leadership. 2) Some
Americans are not taking the pandemic seriously and see some measures as denying
their civil rights. The fiasco in Michigan comes to mind. 3) Republicans hold
too much power in state houses and in the Congress where greed is their
“virtue”. 4) Republicans don’t give a rat’s behind about the lives they snuff
out, and that was going on before the pandemic. The Affordable Care Act and
dumping people their medical comes to mind. It will be interesting to see just
what the numbers are and the effect on November.

The
virus is still spreading like wildfire and loosening restrictions will only
make it worse. As it has now reached rural America, the death toll will go up
rapidly as there are fewer medical resources there. Whole aged-care centres
will be wiped out. But, then again, the numbers of people who died at home or
in care centres may never be reported.

I
voted for the maximum, having lost all confidence in the capacity of so many
Americans to not be pawns, and spread this thing far and wide.

This
is a rough one. It took them 3 months to get to the first 60,000, but, on the
other hand, we now have more people taking it seriously. I settled on 20,001 to
50,000 – but if not that, then the next step up.

I voted for 50,000 t0 100,000 murders by criminal Fuhrer Trump* and the Republican Reich.  The official Republican death toll was 42,269.  Although I overshot somewhat, may I suggest that the actual number is much higher, because the Republican Reich grossly underreports their victims.  Thanks to all who voted.  The new poll is up.  Please Vote!

RESIST!!

It’s a tired day, here in the CatBox, and my back is in a lot of pain.  I’m ready for an Oxycodone, lunch and a nap, when I finish here.  TGIF!

Today’s took me 3:01 (average 4:39).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Trump* Virus Update:

0501TrumpVirusMap

Coronavirus Cases: 1,099,275
Deaths: 63,972
Recovered: 156,089

Our Poll:

I owe you all an apology.  What with all the medical mayhem and personal mayhem surrounding my impending demise, I neglected our poll for months, without updating it.  If you would like to read the results and comments, click here.  I have put up a new poll.  Please vote now and in November.

Short Takes:

From Daily Kos: The concept of a living wage is apparently still unfathomable for South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who on Wednesday promised he would do everything in his power to fight an extension of federal coronavirus relief that would give those who are unemployed an extra $600 a week, according to The Post and Courier. “I promise you over our dead bodies will this get reauthorized,” Graham said of himself and Republican Sen. Tim Scott. “We’ve got to stop this.”… [emphasis added]

Hmmm… reauthorizing an extra $600 per worker in Trump* virus relief over the dead bodies of Lindsey Graham [R-SC] and Tim Scott [R-SC] is the best idea Lindsey Poo has had this year!  RESIST!!

From YouTube (Vox Channel): How to vote during a pandemic

How to vote during a pandemic of Trump* virus? Vote no matter what! Vote by mail, if possible! If not, vote VERY carefully! Finally, vote Blue, no matter who, top to bottom! Every Republican in office is one Republican too many.  Flush them all!  RESIST!!

It’s a nauseous day here at the CatBox.  It’s also a WWWendy day, so I’ll just get my work done as quickly as I can.  May 2020 be a better year for us all.

Poll:

I apologize for leaving the old poll up so long.  I conceived it poorly and became tied up in medical mayhem, so I never got around to replacing it, as I should have long ago.  I have replaced it now, and if anyone wishes to view the results and comments from the old poll, click here.

Short Takes:

From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Why I’m Still Hopeful About America with Robert Reich

 

I know I always say the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. However, I’m not confident this time. The Reich on the right, the Republican Reich, has done more damage to the US and the world than it ever has, is more evil that it has ever been, and has more power to rig elections than ever before. Nevertheless…  never give up! RESIST!!

From YouTube (CNN Channel): Protests continue at US embassy in Baghdad

 

It appears that Trump* and the Republican Reich are trying to start a war to distract attention from the many crimes that surround them at home.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past): You Keep Me Hangin’ On

 

Ah… the memories!  RESIST!!

Vote Blue!!
