Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale predicted on Tuesday that President Donald Trump will win reelection in an “electoral landslide.”

Parscale said during an interview on CBS that Trump will win not only Florida but also the overall election “in an electoral landslide.”

When CBS reporter Major Garrett asked Parscale to define an “electoral landslide,” the campaign manager said it meant Trump would win even more electoral votes than in 2016 (which was 306 votes).

Polls have consistently shown Trump trailing behind 2020 Democratic candidates Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and even the campaign’s own internal polls showed Trump getting destroyed by 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden in key swing states.

To add insult to injury, a new Quinnipac poll showed Biden beating Trump in Florida too–the state where the President’s going to formally launched his reelection campaign on Tuesday night.

But apparently Parscale is unfazed by the poor numbers.

“I just think the country’s too complex now to call a couple of hundred of people and ask them what they think,” Parscale told Garrett.

    At least he maintains his humility.

  2. Why do we keep having these close elections? My theory is that both major political parties are so closely identified with the 1 Percent that 99 Percent of Americans either don’t vote or try to guess which is the lesser evil. Imagine if we had a nominee like Bernie Sanders of Elizabeth Warren.

    I am hoping that Trump gets buried by an electoral landslide. But, of course, I don’t earn my paycheck by lying to Trump to keep him happy.
