The Trump implosion thread!

In 2004, George W Bush won North Carolina's 9th District with 63%.

Last night, Dan Bishop won North Carolina's 9th District with 50.7%. Congratulations, you did great.

This is what has the Dems chewing nails
today. The Dem was supposed to win
big and be the signal for Trump's loss
next year. But the Dem lost. Uh Oh..

Literally no one was predicting the Dem to “win big.” If he did win in that deep red district, it was always gonna be a squeaker.

If you didn’t have to always make stuff up to try to prove how popular Donald is, people might actually believe some of the crap you post.

We must read or watch different news sources as the Dem in NC was ahead by 17 points 3 weeks ago and the MSM pundits were cooing about it
Then, three weeks ago POTUS Trump and VP Pence campaigned for the Rep candidate
This was not an expected result based on the MSM projections leading up to the eelction
YMMV

Source?

To think that anyone was saying a Dem was ahead by +17 in a district Donald and Mitt Romney won by +10-12 seems a bit... fake news-y.

Quote: aceofspades

Well, as a gentleman, I will admit I was wrong about the 17% but Bishop's internal polls had him down by 14%
And yes, MSM claimed (you can Google it) that the REp's were in a panic over this

As for Terpained and his ad hominem attacks - I shall not respond

Quote: CNN

Wolf Blitzer: “Nancy Pelosi, the speaker?”

Donald Trump: “Well, you know, when she first got in and was named speaker, I met her. And I’m very impressed by her. I think she’s a very impressive person. I like her a lot. But I was surprised that she didn’t do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush. It was almost — it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which, personally, I think would have been a wonderful thing.”

Blitzer: “Impeaching him?”

Trump: “Absolutely, for the war, for the war.”

Blitzer: “Because of the conduct of the war.”

Trump: “Well, he lied. He got us into the war with lies. And, I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant. And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense. And yet, Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction, by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true.”

Blitzer: “Their argument is, they weren’t lying, that that was the intelligence that he was presented, and it was not as if he was just lying about it.”

Trump: “I don’t believe that.”

It boggles my mind that Liz Cheney showers Trump with praise even though Trump has repeatedly accused her father's administration of committing fraud & treason. (Just like Ted Cruz pretends to like Trump even after Trump accused Ted Cruz's father of being involved in killing JFK.)

Here's a classic Trump interview from 2008:




That was in 2008. In 2016, Trump said this about Bush & Cheney: “I want to tell you, they lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none. And they knew there were none.”

The GOP threw George W Bush under the bus, they want nothing to do with him. Bush didn't attend the 2008, 2012, or 2016 Republican Conventions. That's fine with me. My only question is if the GOP will do the same thing to Trump in 2024, 2028, and 2032.
