He’s not in Trump’s league but he’s not the most honest candidate either.

2020 battlegrounds
The election is decided in the Electoral College. I want to see polls on the key swing states, not national polls. It matters where the support for a candidate is, not just overall popularity.
The 2020 election will be terrible
Neither side will have confidence in the results. I blame the Republicans for their voter fraud lies, voter suppression, and McConnell’s unwillingness to act on election security. This is going to divide the country even more. Sad!

He’s the convicted bigot pardoned by Trump.

Trump uses presidential events for political speeches
His campaign, not taxpayers, should pay for his travel and events. He almost always injects politics into what should be a non-partisan presidential speech. We can go back to the beginning of his presidency when he did this at the CIA and Boy Scouts appearances. He has not changed and won’t change. I hope he is sued and his campaign has to pay.

Trump’s allegation of 2016 voter fraud will undermine confidence in 2020 results.
He’s getting his cult ready to consider the 2020 results invalid if he loses. His claims of fraud in New Hampshire and California are baseless lies. Republicans should step up to defend our elections but they won’t. They won’t support legislation to increase election security because they have benefitted from Russian interference.
Republicans don’t care about election security
They think foreign meddling will help Trump again. That’s all they care about. We know a lot more than we did in 2016 about interference but McConnell won’t even give hearings to election security bills passed by the House. Trump has no interest in the truth – the spread of disinformation helps him. Sad!
Trump’s dangerous lies about illegal voting.
Trump is lying again by claiming that there is massive illegal voting. He is doing this to undermine public confidence in the 2020 results. I expect him to claim it was rigged if he loses and I doubt he would concede.
The Philip Bump column quotes ridiculous things Trump expects Democrats to say in the 2020 debates. I expect him to use this as a rationale to lie in the debates. He will lie about his own record as well as the Democratic positions and candidate. Trump will claim that Democrats are socialists led by the “squad”.
The column quotes what Trump said:
“Don’t kid yourself,” he said later. “Not as easy when I’m up there on the debate [stage] all alone with some maniac that they” — the Democrats — “chose and that maniac is saying, ‘We’re going to do this for you! We’re going to do that for you! We’re going to give you everything! Everybody gets a free Rolls-Royce, every family!’ ”
“ ‘And we’re going to take better care of illegal immigrants than we take care of our own citizens!’ they tell you,” he said.”
Trump could win the Electoral College and lose the popular vote again in 2020
This is a very real possibility. I don’t care about national popular vote polls as much as polls in swing states that will determine the election.
Sad!
