Trump says spike in crime, high taxes could help him win New York in 2020 election

[Bigfoot]

"President Trump said during an exclusive Oval Office interview on Thursday that his campaign is “putting New York in play” against Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 election."

"Trump told The Post that he believes a spike in violent crime and high taxes can help him win his home state in an upset against Biden and running mate Kamala Harris."

I wish this was possible. Unlikely with the pull of downstate voters. When was the last time NY went red in a presidential election? ( too lazy to look lol)

No exaggeration: of the last fifty lawn signs I’ve seen 1-2 are for Biden, 1-2 are for trump and 46+ are BLM.
NY has zero chance of voting for trump.

Of political signs or flags I see at least 75% are pro trump. It just doesn't matter. There aren't enough and downstate overwhelms upstate.

This is how dumb humans are:
Jews killed and in slavery in their history.
"African American " killed an in slavery in their history.
BOTH vote anti gun, slave owner, democrat!

I never understood this. I can only guess it’s a history of getting paid off by the Dems with special treatment (aka $).

Edit - for a moment I let myself have the thought of Trump winning NY. What an epic win that would be and the wailing of the Dems would be fantastic.

Ive never seen a Clinton or Biden sign around here. But I see dozens of Trump signs a day. We are quite rural and very pro Trump. Not that it matters, my village has 450 people.
Close by there 2 house about 50 yards from each other. Theres not another house for 1/4 mile but these 2 are close.......no clue why. One house has a BLM sign and several other far left political signs, including an anti Trump sign. The signs point towards the road.
After about a week of those signs being up, the neighbor put up a few signs.
They put up 4'x6' signs that spell TRUMP.
But theirs are on the property line, facing the neighbors house.
I giggle everytime I pass.

Because the republican party does approximately zero to appeal to those voters (some of whom might actually be very much on board with a lot of the foundational principles of conservatism)?

All Trump needs to do to win NY is change parties. It worked for him in Texas.

You must live in the wrong neighborhood?

I live in the southern buffalo suburbs and see more trump flags than anything else. When I jog through my neighborhood I've seen at least 4 or 5 people flying MAGA flags at their house.

I'm sure I'll see a few token Biden signs closer to election but none yet.

I rarely ever see anything related to BLM. Although, the other day I saw a pickup truck flying a gay rainbow flag on one side of his bed and the other side a BLM flag. At least he realizes those causes are linked together.

It would be funny if the Biden campaign sank a bunch of extra money into a state they already had won in response to what Trump says in an interview.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

I've seen Trump support signs...no bidoon around Niagara County,,,the furher lost 48 out of 62 Counties....so there is a lot of support for the Trump re-election. Many registered Dems(like Me) voted for Trump and will again. I love getting polls from within the "Party"....I hope My answers make them $hit. PLUS isn't it an unwritten rule that a democraptic govenor must deliver the State for the "party"....What a black eye for the furher....or a kick in the nads...

Its funny when I talk to some of my more left leaning "friends".....or acquaintances.
When we talk about the major political topics I hear some pretty interesting things.
For instance I was recently talking to a self proclaimed progressive and democrat voter.
After an hour of talking I found that she was pro choice but she said shes against late term abortions.
She says shes a big supporter of gay marriage but she thinks forcing a church to preform gay weddings is terrible.
She believes the recent riots are horrible but fully supports peaceful protests.
She also believes that law abiding citizens should be allowed to own guns but she worries about all the gun violence.
There were a couple other of her views that are firmly set in mildly conservative ideas.
I explained to her that she is one of the millions who are stuck in the political mixed bag.....not repub or concervative but definatly not progressive.
Then I told her that her views seem to be leaning toward law and order, leaving people alone and not violating peoples rights......she agreed.
I pointed out that this is why we vote Red usually.
She agreed that she might not fully understand where exactly she stands now.
So she went from "absolutely progressive" to ummmmm, I need to think about this in less than an hour.
Its amazing how close a staunch conservative and a bleeding heart liberals views can be.
I truly believe most people are closer to the middle than they think.

It’s not WHO votes, it is WHO counts the votes.

ny is a lost shithole.

And if he had a big picture of Marx to go with it, the story would be complete.

 

[whatwasithinking]

The #walkaway movement is gaining momentum. If you are a registered Democrat, that does not automatically mean a vote for Biden.

Voter fraud, the new normal.

I truly believe most people are closer to the middle than they think.

I am one of those middle-ground people. That's why I'm an Independent. I have shit I'm staunchly conservative on... Immigration, The 2ND, Law and Order... Shit like that... But I am liberal on Equal Rights, LGBT, Right to choose, etc... The problem is the extremists on BOTH sides have brainwashed people into believing you have to be either 100% with us, or you are against us. Ironically, 29% of US voters are registered as Independent. I think they are going to be a major factor in the coming election. Not in NY mind you, but nationwide... I can only hope it is enough to beat Biden... Right now... Not so sure...

 

[Apeman]

It’s not WHO votes, it is WHO counts the votes.

ny is a lost shithole.

This is why we can't have mail in voting instead of in person voting. They found hundreds of thousands of instances of voter fraud after the last election. There is no chance of Trump winning with mail in ballots. Votes for him will be "lost" and Biden will win in a landslide.

Who's "they" and can you point us to some hard, credible evidence, please?

Breitbart doesn't count.

Your local board of elections counts the votes, the person (read election commissioner) WHO YOU voted for.

They have just been brainwashed by the Republicrats into thinking they aren't.

I live in a nice suburb of Rochester. I can think off the top of my head of one maga type house. It has an all lives matter sign and two banners on the side of the door going for trump. I've seen 1-2 houses in recent memory with biden.

I've seen a shit ton of BLM signs. And many houses don't have those, but have those dumb ass "we believe" signs, along with a list of silly shit they believe in underneath.

I find that poorer hoods are more likely to have blm signs, whereas one nice neighborhood we walk through many evenings has I don't think a single blm sign, but has that list of things sign, and the first thing on the list is black lives matter.

There is 1 family of liberals that moved here to farm country from the city.
Of course, when they moved here the first thing they did is make a stink about the smell of cow manure,
and the sound of gunfire. They are very peculiar people. One of my friends lives next door to them and he tells me about all of the weird things that he sees over there. The stuff that he tells us about is the funniest shit. Like they can't manage to maneuver around in their own driveway without running into each other. Some strange stuff like, their 5 adult (kids) now in their 30's early 40's that have not moved out on their own yet. I could share so many funny and weird stories about this family it would deserve its own thread.

Now that I have painted a picture of these people I will get to my point.
They put up a Bernie Sanders sign in their front yard.
My friend, their neighbor, put up a Trump flag.
They put up a gay pride flag.
My friend, their neighbor, put up a Gadsden flag. (Don't Tread on Me)

The homeowner on the other side of the liberal family has now joined in... LOL
He put up a Trump flag on his pole and a Trump 2020 flag on the side of his garage that faces the liberal's house.

About a mile down the road from this, a guy painted in (huge) red letters "TRUMP 2020" right on the front of his house.
It's a pretty nice house too. I'm surprised that he would do something like that. But I can dig it.
I find this back and forth between them kind of immature. But I can't say that I don't enjoy it... LOL

I would like to add... About the house that has TRUMP 2020 painted in huge letters on the front of it.
I wanted to take a picture of it and post it here. But even if I blacked out any identifying info.
I still thought that would not be the right thing to do without his permission.
But it is pretty awesome. It certainly grabs one's attention. Ya can't miss it... LOL
