Black Life-Long Democrat Reveals Why He Walked Away from Joe Biden

by Beth Baumann

 

Original Article

 

Georgia State Rep. Vernon Jones (D) on Tuesday penned an opinion piece slamming former Vice President Joe Biden for failing to stand up to protect the black community. According to Jones, President Donald Trump has done more for the black community than any other Washington politician, all while Biden hides in his basement.In particular, Jones takes issue with the left's calls to "defund the police," which they say is in response to the murder of George Floyd. As the former Chief Executive Officer of DeKalb County, Georgia, I’ve had to manage one of the largest police departments in the state.

Why is Bill Clinton better than the current Democrats?

When? You were a Bill Clinton supporter? 

 

Or was it Jimmy Carter? Did you vote for Dukakis?

Well, according to recent polls, it seems that it's many Trump supporters from 2016 who are "walking away".

This has got to be the funniest thread ever. As the ship is sinking they are claiming the ship is getting stronger. Delusional people. 

 

It is as if the 2018 mid terms never happened. Nothing gets through to these people. 

 

I bet if Trump loses and he tells them he is still president, they will believe it for years, like those Japanese soldiers that kept being found in the 1970’s not knowing the war was over.

Georgia State Rep: ‘I am Black and I am a Democrat, but I Ain’t Voting for Biden This November’

 

Georgia Democrat state representative Vernon Jones, who regularly slams his own party and in May endorsed President Trump, went hard after Joe Biden on Tuesday in an op-ed for Daily Caller.

Jones began by recounting the attacks against him after announcing his support for Trump, and the events in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis at the hands of an overzealous cop.

 

The lifelong Democrat said that “as the son of a WWII veteran and a proud American,” much of what he’s seen has been “absurd.”

“Since that day in May when I announced I would support Donald Trump for president, my motives have been questioned, my integrity assailed, even my intelligence challenged. That’s okay,” Jones wrote.

? ? ? 

 

Since January, Americans’ party preferences have shifted dramatically in the Democratic Party’s direction. What had been a two-percentage-point Republican advantage in U.S. party identification and leaning has become an 11-point Democratic advantage, with more of that movement reflecting a loss in Republican identification and leaning (down eight points) than a gain in Democratic identification and leaning (up five points). . . . In June alone, there was a three-point increase in Democratic identification and leaning, and a corresponding five-point drop in Republican identification and leaning

The party that loses the prez election ALWAYS picks up seats in the mid terms. Even happened to Bubba and Obama.  Proves nothing.

Good point, but not always. 2002. 

 

And, still, where is the walk away? Winning in 2018 does not show any walk away from the Dems at all. Shows the opposite.

Do you think people like the riots and looting and violence the left wing has been doing the past 5 months? It's going to be a landslide victory for Trump in November. American people do not support the radical left. I know so many people who have walked away from the democratic party. It's people like you who are driving them away. Keep up the good work. I'll enjoy another four years of President Trump.

Lol, you can keep following him on Twitter the next four years as he screams about why he should have won in 2020, blah blah.

A small, enduring bloc

Since taking office, President Trump has lost support among most major demographic groups: women and men, older and younger voters, college graduates and non-graduates. But there are at least two big exceptions: Black and Latino voters.

Trump will lose both groups badly in November, polls show. But his support among them has not slipped. If anything, it may have risen slightly. Close to 10 percent of Black voters and roughly 30 percent of Latinos back Trump.

“I think there’s a lot of denial about this fact,” David Shor, a top Democratic data analyst, recently told New York magazine.

This enduring Black and Latino support for Republicans has had big consequences. It helped the party win victories in 2018 in Florida, Georgia and Texas, and could help decide Senate control this year.

Cofounder Of Conservative Federalist Society Calls For President Trump To Be Impeached

TOPLINE

 

Steven Calabresi, cofounder of the conservative Federalist Society, called for a second impeachment inquiry into President Trump in a New York Times opinion piece on Thursday after a tweet earlier in the day from Trump where he falsely characterized mail-in voting and proposed the delay of the 2020 presidential election in November, which the executive branch cannot enact.

KEY FACTS

"Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist," Calabresi said. "But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate."

Founded in 1982, the Federalist Society is a right-wing organization with 60,000 lawyers, law students and scholars that's been characterized as a "conservative pipeline to the Supreme Court" by the Atlantic, with the most recently confirmed judge Brett Kavanaugh joining the group while at Yale.

In his op-ed, Calabresi notes that he's voted Republican in the presidential election since 1980, opposed the investigation into Russian election interference by Robert Mueller and also was against the impeachment into Trump regarding withholding aid to the Ukraine.

"But I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election," Calabresi writes, adding that doing so would be "illegal, unconstitutional and without precedent in American history."

Calabresi joins a chorus of both Democratic and Republican voices denouncing Trump's comments, with Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) saying, "We'll cope with whatever the situation is and have the election on November 3 as already scheduled."

Trump sent his tweet the same day it was announced that the U.S. gross domestic product dropped at an annual rate of nearly 33% and amid more and more polls putting presumptive Democratic candidate for president Joe Biden far ahead of Trump in the November election.

CRUCIAL QUOTE

"Election Day was fixed by a federal law passed in 1845, and the Constitution itself in the 20th Amendment specifies that the newly elected Congress meet at noon on Jan. 3, 2021, and that the terms of the president and vice president end at noon on Jan. 20, 2021," Calabresi said. "If no newly elected president is available, the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes acting president." (Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is the current Speaker.)

TANGENT

While mail-in voting has risen substantially in primary elections held amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the practice dates back to the Civil War and has increasingly been adopted over the years, including for Trump's 2016 election win. While Trump purports widespread fraud through mail-in ballots, he has never shown evidence, and in fact, the Brennan Center for Justice in 2017 set the risk of fraud between 0.00004% to 0.0009%. Additionally, his repeated notion that mail-in voting hurts the chances for Republicans in elections goes against studies that show the practice doesn't help either party.

KEY BACKGROUND

Calabresi joins other conservatives in their vocal dismissal of Trump. The Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Trump Republicans, earned the ire of Trump in May when he called it "a disgrace to Honest Abe."

Trump’s Secret Weapon: “The Black Silent Minority”

by Wayne Allyn Root

 

Original Article

 

No, I’m not kidding. I believe the black vote will be the key to President Trump’s coming electoral landslide.

 

No, it’s not a “Black Silent Majority.” Trump and Republicans aren’t winning a majority of black votes in 2020. But we don’t need a majority. We just need a “Black Silent Minority” to clinch a Trump victory.
