President Donald Trump’s campaign is pessimistic about the his chances in Michigan, a state in which a very narrow victory propelled him to victory.
According to Politico, team Trump is acutely aware that he only won the state by less than a point in 2016, and expects Democratic turnout and enthusiasm to be higher this time around.
Though they haven’t given up on the state, dispatching Vice President Mike Pence frequently and installing a permanent staff, they are turning their hopes to Minnesota and New Hampshire where they think they have a better chance.
Even without Michigan, Trump could win with the other states he got last time. However, that would make states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, far from a mortal lock for the President, completely indispensable.
Fewer minorities in Minnesota and NH.
Polls in Michigan have been reasonably consistent over the last year … Trump loses. It’s my observation living here that the west side of the state, while majority GOP, has little enthusiasm for his do-little misadministration. I attended a political event to which a handful of MAGAts showed up; it appears the meth heads adore him.
Trump plans to cheat his way in. Whatever Moscow Mitch appropriated for election security should have been four-fold at least.
All this poor-mouthing is just a grift-set-up from a master con man. “Aw Mabel! He couldn’t be cheating! He said that his campaign has a hard way forward!”
Minnesota? I don’t think so.
Hey, team tRump, there’s a way out here, get some of those Ivanka tRump trademarked voting machines in there. No muss, no fuss, your problem is over.
