GG Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 From NYT email today Quote A small, enduring bloc A Trump supporter in Tulsa, Okla., last month.Leah Millis/Reuters 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. 1 2
Tiberius Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Look who is walking away now! Cofounder Of Conservative Federalist Society Calls For President Trump To Be Impeached Matt PerezForbes Staff Innovation I cover breaking news. 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. WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 29: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks as White House Chief of Staff Mark ... [+] GETTY IMAGES 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." 1

B-Man Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 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. 1
