Democrats should not be overconfident

Trump will do anything to win.

The comment I posted on the Washington Post site:

In addition to Republican efforts to suppress voting, I am worried about foreign interference.  We know that Trump asked Ukraine and China for help.  I assume he will get help from his pal Putin.  There may be others. 

Trump’s Tulsa rally was a fiasco

Poorly attended

lies and more lies

My opinion on 2020 debates

Trump is pushing for more debates than usual.

Here’s Chris Cillizza’s column.

I hope there are no debates.

This is what I sent to CNN yesterday:

  • I hope there aren’t any debates for the following reasons.
  • 1) Trump will tell lots of lies.  He has more to lie about than in 2016 because he has been in office for almost four years. There have been almost no consequences for him for lying.  The media points outs out the lies and he just repeats them. I expect his greatest hits of lies – Veterans Choice, best economy ever, biggest tax cut ever
  • 2) Who will correct his lies? If Biden does it, it cuts in to his time to present his ideas.  Biden should state up front that he expects Trump to lie and the Democrats should post the lies online in real time. If the moderator does it, Trump will say they are biased.
  • 3) Trump will make dangerous efforts to undermine the election. He will attack mail-in voting. He will make accusations of fraud and that it will be rigged.  Remember, he did that when he won!
    I suggest that you talk to a child psychologist.  I am sure they have dealt with children that lie often and have ideas on how to stop it.  I am sure constantly broadcasting Trump’s lies are not part of the solution.
    One question on the Tulsa Trump rally: Will the reporters be required to sign the waiver forms?  If they are, I hope they don’t go.  In addition to the dangers of a crowded arena with probably few people wearing masks, Trump has attacked the media in his rallies.  We have seen instances where Trump supporters yell at reporters at close range when they are incited by Trump. 
    I appreciate the The Point and look forward to receiving it.  Thanks for all you do to keep us informed.

Tulsa pre-rally update

Six Trump campaign workers have tested positive for the coronavirus. A protester was arrested but it’s hard to figure out why.

I think the people going to the rally have a right to know this happened even though the sick staff members won’t be there.
He’s just a bully
I wrote tweets as replies to tweets on the rally to ask if reporters have to work a mask but nobody answered. In the past, Trump has incited his cult members against the media and they have verbally attacked them which puts the media members at risk now because of the virus.

Tulsa update 6/19/20

Trump continues to attack mail-in voting

Republicans are big on voter suppression.

Trump threatens Tulsa protesters

He’s inciting his cult to commit violence.

Another fake video

This is ugly. Trump has no bottom. It’s good that Twitter labeled it but they should take it down.

Trump campaign runs ads with marking once used by Nazis to designate political prisoners

Trump asked China for reelection help according to Bolton

He should have testified about this before Congress during the impeachment process. Trump is a liar but Bolton could be one, too.
