Once again the superspreader-in-chief is holding another superspreader event.
Under Covid45's watch the US has been dragged down to its lowest point in decades, maybe ever.

Trump working hard to keep America breaking infection records every day, one rally at a time.

Alas, another failed dictator literally plagues the USA...

Trump doesnt care. Trump is playing to his base, the under-educated, under informed, whites, in Merica'
Ah_so
But today his rally was cancelled because of the bad weather. Such a shame.
Mickelicious
He has history with bad weather and visiting 'losers.'
jack o helen
And Trump leaving his fans "in the cold" in a rally he held in Omaha, where they had to wait for hours in 32 degree weather to be bused back to their parked cars, is a perfect metaphor of his presidency:

Only truly ignorant people could gamble like this. Astonishing that there are so many people who would throw themselves into Covid-19 stews of humanity like this without masks on. The epitome of ignorance.

Trump support seems very passionate and larger than polls would suggest.
jack o helen
Why is it only Trump supporters trying to intimidate voters at polls? They are continuously seen bringing their guns (and even swords) at the polls and threatening everyone to vote for Trump, or else. For instance, in a recent TikTok video, a man can be seen harassing drivers at the polls:

So in the meantime, crowds gather in Philly and burn/loot the city down and people here conveniently seem to think COVID only goes to Trump rallies.
SuperLib
You're comparing a lawless crowd of rioters with an organized rally for the President of the United States. One has control over the behavior of the participants, the other does not. Simply put: Lawless rioters give Trump fans no special permissions.
Graham DeShazo
The polls nationally were well within the margin of error.
Ever since pollsters have worked to revise their state polling.
There is no evidence that they are less accurate.
Even if the polls are off by the same amount as 16, Biden wins by 20 EC votes.
Mickelicious
Meanwhile Fox says:
Oh dear, the manure is really hitting the fans.
Blacklabel
So Biden is winning Wisconsin by 17 points, huh? He’s gonna win Georgia and Texas too, right?
Graham DeShazo
Yes he is and yes, he might.
Numbers, not wishing make it so, Black. But by all means, continue on in your fantasy.
SuperLib
I haven't seen that number. Fivethirtyeight shows him leading by 8 points. I'm comfortable with that.
We will have to see how the positive economic news impacts the polling, but there aren't many undecided voters left. And not much time. And increasing COVID numbers.
Attilathehungry
If nothing else, there is a rather obvious Enthusiasm Gap between the campaigns. Like it or not, the President is popular among his supporters. Biden? Not so much. Especially when he can&t even remember who he is running against...
Graham DeShazo
And yet there is a tremendous enthusiasm to vote AGAINST Trump. 81 million votes already cast and counting. 59% of the total last cycle. In TX, early voting now equals 98% of the 16 TOTAL.
How much this benefits Democrats is up for legitimate debate. What is not up for debate is that there is NO universe in which this is beneficial to Trump.

Trump didn't win in 2016 because of his supporters. He won because lots of people didn't care for Hillary Clinton very much. If Trump loses on Tuesday one of the reasons will be that lots of people don't care for him very much.
Sneezy
That seems to be what the polls suggest. I expect the total lead will be lower, though.
I don't think so, personally.
Yesterday you claimed CNN said that 24% of black voters across the county supported Trump. I was unable to find this poll. Could you give me a link? Please bear in mind that "undecided", "don't know" and "other" voters are not indications of support for Trump. You've made this mistake multiple times before, so I just wanted to spare both of us a long and weary back and forth now.
NOMINATION
Biden doesn't get votes from supporters, he gets Trump hater votes. I have yet to hear anyone here talk about how Biden/Harris will change the country in a positive way because nobody knows his policies. All I hear is Trump this and Trump that. That right there is pure infatuation.
Sneezy
You can find them by visiting www.joebiden.com. I hope this has been educational.
It's unusual that I have to say this, though. Normally, Trump cultists say "Biden has far left socialist anarchist policies, it's all on his website". So it's funny that, in the mind of the right, his policies are both going to destroy America in their communist specificity but also don't exist.
Attilathehungry
That may be a fair point. Hillary was detested by a large number of people. Joe has a carefully crafted image of "good old Joe" that is harder to pierce. I guess the difference is that Hillary ALSO had her strong core of enthusiastic backers. Biden doesn't have that.
There is very little on the news about the Biden campaign- seems that Trump (or should I say anti-Trump) coverage is about 80% of the air time.
And in an unrelated but interesting note, journalist Glen Greenwald has resigned from The Intercept (an organization he helped found) due to threats of censorship by his editors. He wanted to publish an article about the Biden scandal and it was turned down. I don't agree with Glen on much, but he is reputable and principled.
Graham DeShazo
Some of us actually support Biden because he’s a decent man of moderate politics.
As far as support from Trump haters, there are rather a lot of them out there and their support is welcomed.
NOMINATION
Thanks for conveniently ignoring the word "here". Now go back to all posts you have made since the start of the election and count how many times you have talked about Trump and how many times you have even mentioned Biden's name. Trump wins by an infatuation landslide.
lincolnman
Every time I see one of these latest Trump rallies I'm reminded of the blinded flock prostrating themselves before some uber-religious evangelical scam artist, who takes all their money then tells them to go jump off a cliff...
Sneezy
I don't know if you knew this, but Trump is the current President of the United States of America, my homeland. He is in charge of the country, so it's normal to comment more on his doings than those of others.
I've mentioned Joe Biden and his policies many times. I've made the argument that his policies do not go far enough to repair the US, and that he was the second worst choice for the Democratic Party, after Michael Bloomberg. I've made the claim many times that nominating Biden is Trump's best chance for re-election. I stand by that opinion.
Alex
They are all in such denial about their situation.
Toasted Heretic
Despicable behaviour.
The man is just a virus with a Twitter account.
Attilathehungry
Sneezy, in a normal year you would have been right. Trump would have wiped the floor with Biden, given the direction the US economy was heading and all the foreign policy successes he has accomplished. But the virus changed all that and gave Joe a second chance. He has been trying to run out the clock for weeks now, just one more large bullet to dodge and the election will be here.
Graham DeShazo
As Sneezy rightly points out, this election, like all elections to re-elect the incumbent president, is a referendum on the incumbent, in this case Trump.
And he has proven himself to be an incompetent lying sociopathic buffoon.
8.6 million cases. 226k deaths (and counting). 85k cases TODAY. 1,000 deaths TODAY. Any sentient being would look at those numbers and say “a head of shredded lettuce could do a better job.”
And the numbers suggest that that is exactly what is happening. No wonder Trump and his cultists are trying to suppress the vote.
Blacklabel
"Lil Wayne meets with President Trump, praises his 'platinum plan' for Black Americans"
Rappers for Trump!
the Black vote is going to be quite surprising to all you liberals.
Sneezy
Attila, I'm afraid you have it backwards. In a political sense, the virus was an opportunity for Trump to finally show leadership, prove his dedication to the safety of the American people, and use the power of his office to demonstrate an intellectual, decisive approach to slowing or even stopping the spread of the virus. This would have guaranteed re-election.
Instead, he abdicated his role as President, blamed everyone but himself while doing the bare minimum to contain the spread, and then claiming that minimum was enough. He spread baseless conspiracy theories and hawked fake cures.
Over two hundred thousand Americans are dead under his watch. Two hundred thousand needless deaths. Two hundred thousand mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, aunts, uncles, cousins, wives, and husbands. All dead.
Trump could have done something. But he didn't. He never will. He doesn't care about the country. He doesn't care about the American people. He doesn't care about you.
Joe Biden is not the guy. But he is the only alternative to a President whose only instincts are ambivalence or authoritarianism.
If you haven't already, vote for Joe Biden.
Sneezy
So are you going to answer my question about that poll you were talking about, or nah?
Graham DeShazo
Only in your fantasies, Black.
I think the African American community is rational enough to look at 2 rap stars, one with bi-polar disorder and the other addicted to cough syrup, and decide, “good music - horrible advice” and vote accordingly.
Scientific polling, not wild fantasy backs my thinking.
Blacklabel
nah.
you can just see the results in a couple of days. 20% or higher Black vote, guaranteed.
Sneezy
Cool. Thanks for clarifying that you were referring to a poll that doesn't exist.
Blacklabel
dont need polls anymore when the results are coming out in days.
Thats the "poll".
Blacklabel
but here is one that is even better, just to make you feel included about what is going on around you.
31% Black vote.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/29/rasmussen-31-likely-black-voters-support-president/
Sneezy
I'm talking about the CNN poll you claimed that showed 24% of support nationwide for Trump among Black people, but have now conceded doesn't exist.
Blacklabel
I gave you an even better one.
CNN lies anyway, right? I decided not to believe it.
plasticmonkey
Since the "laptop from hell" story didn't work out, is Lil Wayne going to be Trump's October surprise?
You think Black people's votes are dictated by hip hop artists? You think Trump would've rented an apartment to Lil Wayne back in the day?
Interesting side note: 50 Cent retracted his Trump endorsement.
timeon
eventual, both a treatment and a vaccine will be developed, and covid will be cured. Unfortunately, even with all the modern science, stupid can't be cured
Graham DeShazo
“Mr. Biden has a relatively poor 78-11 lead among Black men in the Times/Siena poll.”
Trump does even worse among African American women. This is an A+ rated poll by 538.
So, um, no...... not even close to 20%. (And when you count 20% as a great result in ANY demographic, you are setting the bar pretty low....)
lincolnman
What are these deluded Trump supporters going to do when their world comes crashing down on Nov 4th?
Certainly they'll scream "hoax", "unfair", "fraud"....but will they take up arms?
I think they will - they are absolutely blinded to reality by their cultish devotion to Trumpism...
Which is exactly what Putin hoped for when he started his "systemic and sweeping" disinformation attack in 2015....an America consumed by violent internal divisions - a 21st century civil war...
And Trump and his supporters will hand his victory to him...
Blacklabel
Democrats seem to think so.
and also that white people vote is swayed by Bon Jovi holding a concert for 20 people and 7 pumpkins.
Sneezy
Even your own article casts doubt on this figure. As others have pointed out, no raw figures have been released, which is unusual for polling. Even Fox News releases the data for their polls.
You're gonna have to do better than a poll with no data cited by a right-wing website that casts doubt on said poll.
But you'll also have to give me the CNN poll you were talking about, if you want to retain any sense of credibility. But you've already said you won't, so.
Sneezy
I don't know. You visit CNN far more often than I do.
Oh. It's just that you cited it. Why are you citing something you don't believe as evidence for your perspective?
wtfjapan
Like it or not, the President is popular among his supporters. Biden? Not so much. Especially when he can&t even remember who he is running against...
recent study of 2016 shows that its not so much support of a candidate, but the dislike of the opposition,
2016 Hillary had a lot of dislike by suburban white women, yet she still won the popular vote, 2018 was the turning point Trump lost the house and it was primarily the womans vote that caused it. come 2020
do people really think the Trump dislike has diminished or grown. lol Tsunami is almost here
Blacklabel
and you are the one who said he retracted his endorsement, with no understanding of what he actually said.
Strangerland
Remember after the last election, when the 'pubs correctly pointed out that Hillary hadn't campaigned in swing states, which lost her the vote? Remember how they said the polls weren't accurate, and needed to be rethought?
They were right. The DNC and the pollsters adjusted accordingly.
Which is why this time the polls aren't wrong, and Trump won't win.
Sneezy
Oh, look at Rasmussen's Daily Tracking poll.
Ordinarily you're so quick to see the Deep State, Globe Heads, and Democrat Donors wherever they are. But a poll bought and paid for by "Liberty Nation, Conservative News Where Truth Matters", and suddenly your skepticism gets tired? Weird, but alright. Well, I'm sure that they don't admit that they hand pick their respondents and ask skewed questions to get the results they want. I mean, what are the chances of
Oh.
Blacklabel
I reconsidered after they released another poll saying Biden is winning by 12. which he is obviously not.
Makes all their other polls suspect too.
Sneezy
What do you mean, you "reconsidered"? The poll you're referring to doesn't exist.
Blacklabel
Polls, who cares? thats the liberal response here whenever you dont like what it says.
Did I miss the article here about 33.1% GDP growth for Q3?
V-shaped economy, unemployment under 10% already.
Trump wins, poll or not.
Garthgoyle
Well that's 100% accurate. Which when put together, conservatives or liberals, Republicans or Democrats, left or right, doesn't really matter. It's Americans totally disregarding social distancing and keeping the "curve" at almost a 100,000 infections per day. At this rate even if there was a successful vaccine tomorrow, like Biden mentioned, things would not go back to normal till the end of 2021, maybe sometime in 2022.
Strangerland
His policies are posted on the internet, and are available to be known by anyone who wishes to do so, and knows how to do a "search" on the "internet".
What's Trump's policy on eliminating covid? Here's Biden's: https://joebiden.com/covid19
What's Trump's policy on jobs and economic recovery? Here's Biden's: https://joebiden.com/build-back-better
What's Trump's policy on health care? Here's Biden's: https://joebiden.com/healthcare
In fact, where has Trump laid out his policies on anything? Remember, he's the incumbent, and he has no health care plan outlined? That was his campaign for 2016, how can he not have one in 2020? And how can his losers excuse him for it when he's been promising it for years?
Sneezy
I don't know liberals do, since I'm not one. But for my own position: that isn't my response. Polls are a good, but not perfect, means of measuring public opinion and predicting actions.
What I'm saying is that you invent polls in your mind, and when asked for a link, say "polls don't matter". In fact, you've said polls don't matter in this very thread.
Please, just one time, try being consistent.
Graham DeShazo
The Washington Times is not regarded as a quality paper and it’s polling is the last refuge of DC conservatives desperate to maintain their fantasies.
Fox News polling, which is quite good even though the organization overall is a joke stands in direct contradiction. to this laughable assertion
Btw, I made a factual error that needs to be amended.
I incorrectly stated that if the polls are off as much as they were in 16 and under-represented Trump by the same amount, Biden would still get 290 EC votes.
This is incorrect. According to Henry Enton, “The Wizard of Odds” the actual figure is North of 300 EC votes. Somewhere between 303 and 350.
My apologies.
Bob Fosse
I guess Trump was too busy getting huffy about 60 minutes and Rudy was wrangling with his shirt that they forgot to get the October surprise ready.
By the way, is there an FBI investigation or isn’t there?
Strangerland
Here's another one the losers don't want to address. If the economy was so strong, how was it taken out with a single blow? The very measure of a strong economy is that it can take a hit.
Think of a big, beefy guy the size of The Rock. Then a smaller guy comes along, gives him an uppercut, and knocks him out.
Could you really say the rough was that tough? That was Trump's economy. It looked strong enough, but if it was so weak that a pandemic that had been planned for and mapped out knocked out the legs from under it, then it wasn't a strong economy.
But the losers don't like it when you destroy that narrative. Because it exposes their Dear Leader as The Biggest Loser.
Strangerland
The good news for the losers at his conventions is that they won't be able to catch this supposed virus, as their Dear Leader has assured us it's a Democrat hoax.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHA oh thats fine then!

Putin's disinformation campaign was genius. He stoked up the extreme right in America, which naturally led to an extreme left opposition, and four years later the country is a tinder barrel full of 300 million plus guns and a lot of angry people.
Blacklabel
Strongest economy in the G7, Post COVID. By far. Q3 GDP is 33.1%, a record.
Bob Fosse
I don’t see any problem with that.
bass4funk
I disagree.
You definitely have more black men supporting Trump this time around, not sure if it’s 24%, but it is high and most blacks that support Trump would never admit it because they know they would be attacked and ridiculed and so far every single black person that came out and said they supported Trump or is Republican has had a major uphill battle to be taken seriously and the Dems are extremely fearful of that and if more blacks leave the Democrat party. (And they should) Democrats pretty much would never win any major election, they know this and their contingency plan would be then to legalize 11 million illegals ans keep the border open and flowing.
Black men know that illegals are a potential threat economically to them and their livelihoods because they can do the same blue collar work for less especially in the service area industry and or salaries under 40k a year.
People like Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Niger Innis and other prominent black leaders are pushing at making the case that the Democrat party has done nothing for blacks and they don’t owe them any allegiance and that they are not a monolithic voting black.
Sneezy
This is after the single biggest contraction in GDP in US history.
And this record came at the cost of over two
hundred
THOUSAND
American lives.
Sneezy
...you think that Biden WILL win Georgia and Texas? Uh, okay, bud. Like I said, I don't think Biden will win Georgia or Texas - I think Trump will - but you can think what you will.
Graham DeShazo
And OVERALL GDP growth is is negative for the year. The US will likely slip back into negative growth in the 4th qtr as the effects of the stimulus wear off and the GOP takes no action on a 2nd round that Trump’s chosen Fed chair says is desperately needed and the Democratic House passed back in May
Moreover job growth is still negative. 11 million are still unemployed and almost all “job growth” constitutes laid-off workers being recalled (which isn’t bad, it’s just not new job creation.)
The stock market has finally clued into this and tanked.
All of these are easily proven facts.
Trump has lost most of the edge he held on the economy because the economy is objectively horrible and it’s objectively his fault.
Attilathehungry
..,or you can believe Joe Biden who says that you ain't black if you vote for the GOP. My god, can you imagine the furor if Trump said, "if you don't vote for the GOP, you ain't white"? The earth would stop spinning.
Sneezy
Oh, imagine my surprise. Another "I don't like the GOP, BUT..." guy on JT. Let me guess, you're a multi-millionaire business owner, too?
Incidentally, if you could tell me what you think is worse than a death cult that advocates the sacrifice of the weakest in society to make billionaires richer, that would be great, thanks.
ulysses
The virus probably has more brains than all of the trump supporters combined.
Looking at the people one despairs at how much people will cling to their racists views and the false prophet who espouses them. When some of the older people at the rally collapsed due to the heat, trump swore at them, thinking they were deliberately making him look bad!!1
These people has given up their dignity for racists beliefs!!!
Graham DeShazo
Worse than a death cult that presided over economic collapse and the deaths, preventable deaths of 226k Americans counting?
Worse than 20k (and counting) lies?
Worse than being impeached?
Worse than being the party of systemic voter suppression?
Seriously? THATS what you’re going with?
lincolnman
Well, looks like Trump's rallies aren't convincing one former ally...
*Rupert Murdoch,** the 89-year-old billionaire whose family controls Fox News’s parent company, has told associates that he is resigned to a Trump loss in November. And he has complained that the president’s current low polling numbers are due to repeated “unforced errors” that could have been avoided if he had followed Murdoch’s advice about how to weather the coronavirus pandemic...*

Did you misread what I wrote?

Well, yeah. That's the plan. Have more Republicans show up in person and have more Democrats vote by mail. Then try to have the vote by mail ballots disqualified.
Is this all new to you?
Graham DeShazo
Fun Fact(s): The number of manufacturing and mining jobs have decreased not increased during the Trump regime. So much for bringing jobs back....
Economic and job growth during the first three years of the Trump era are LOWER than the last three years of the Obama administration. Trump never hit is stated goal of annual 3% GDP GROWTH. Not once. And this was all BEFORE COVID.
The vast majority of his tax cut benefits the top 1% and is a contributing factor in the $3.7 Trillion (with a T) Budget Deficit THIS YEAR.
Moreover, Trump will be the 1st President since Hoover (90 years ago) to have a net loss of Jobs.
But sure, he’s best to handle the economy. Totally makes sense.
ulysses
A lot of these thousands at trump rallies are going to be sick soon.
Wonder how they will turn up to vote if they are sick.
Since trump has already told them that mail in ballots result in fraud, these poor people have no way to vote!!
Graham DeShazo
Sausage,
2 million deaths if Trump and the general public did NOTHING. Hardly a realistic bar to clear. A far more credible bar would be the 130-210k deaths that could have been prevented by promoting basic steps such as masks
20k lies according to the multi-Pulitzer prize winning Washington Post. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?
Acquitted by 52 invertebrate Eunichs who stuck their fingers in their ears and wouldn’t even bother to hear witness testimony because it would have put them in an uncomfortable position of defending what were obvious impeachable offenses.
And I’m sorry, which party gutted the voting rights act, filed law suits in order to not count votes posted before Election Day, hobbled the postal system (so that ballots don’t arrive on time) reduces the number of drop boxes and polling sites in minority communities and constantly talks about non-existent voter fraud?
That would be the GOP.
These are the objective facts and they are not in doubt.
“Live free or Die”, eh? The Democrats in no way shape or form impede the former while Trump makes the matter much more likely. Just ask the families of the 226k who’ve died this year from his incompetence.
bass4funk
At least they’ll be counted for sure, that’s the plan.

I have heard of the Washington Post. It is owned by one of the aforementioned oligarchs. The rest of your info is imagined and published by the same. As a person of color, I and my family and friends have been voting for sometime and not once has any of us been molested, harassed or otherwise disturbed while voting. It happened before I was born but not in my lifetime. But I live in the deep south and people are probably nicer around here.

There are far more than 7.5 million stupid people in the US, a country with a population of over 300 million.
As George Carlin said, think of the intelligence of the average person and then realise half the people are stupider than that.

Just to make sure I had my facts right, I scrolled ABC, CBS and Real Clear Politics mobile sites.
No mention of said “scoop” anywhere.
I could have missed it, but it’s clearly not being hyped. If it’s on any of those sites, it’s not easily found.
All hype, no content. Just like Trump

So just to be clear, you’d rather rely on journalistic “organizations” with no history of journalistic excellence over the Paper that brought us Watergate, The Petagon Papers, and the fist looks under the hood of Trumps financial “empire” (for which David Farhengold was awarded said Pulitzer) because Jeff owns, but takes no operational responsibility for said paper?
Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

If it was an Antifa riot, the media would just praise the "peaceful protests". The media only gets interested in mass gatherings if it is a Trump rally. The bias is so in-the=face these days, it is almost funny.
WilliB
Graham DeShazo
He did promote masks once the medical advisors recommended them. You are falling for a fake news talking point.
The WaPo is Jeff Bezos fanatically pro-DNC publication. Sort of the left wing counterpart to Breitbart. If you want to read anti-Trump bias, read it. If you want to see fair reporting, dont.
Personally, I prefer to look at both sides and not stay in one echo chamber. Maybe you should try that too.
Graham DeShazo
WiiB,
Trump has and continues to mock mask wearing. This claim is laughable.
And Wapo is in no way shape or form the left’s version of Brietbart. Brietbart is the equivalent of the back pages of Craig’s list. It’s an absolute joke.
Jeff has made clear that he takes no role in reporting or editorials.
I’ll stick to legitimate news organizations and not conspiracy addled rags masquerading as news organizations.
Cheers.

This is outrageous. Craigslist is much better than Breitbart.

Slickdrifter
I will state. I view myself as sensible Republican. However, these rallies and this President has acted carelessly holding such gatherings. I support Trump on many issues, However this is not one of them.
COVID is not our Presidents fault. But to hold these rallies is political educed suicide.
I am not sure why these rallies are important? What's the benefit? Those going are obviously voting for the man for a second term or the flip to discredit the man. This is sheer stupidity and reckless.
He does not need to hold these enormous COVID breeding gathering to win the election.
Its time to face the music. He must go. For the good of the country he must go.
Normalcy needs to come rushing back. Biden for 4 years is an acceptable trade off.

Trump's GDP growth is the worst of all of the past 7 presidents. Growth in the Clinton and Reagan administrations are the best.
