2020 Presidential Election Tag

What with the conspiracy theories about how President Trump is allegedly using the USPS to steal the election reaching peak stupid on social media, in newsrooms, and in the murky fever swamps of MSNBC and CNN, one Oregon Democrat hatched a plan Tuesday to out-virtue signal all other Democrats about how he was willing to take drastic measures in order to protect the postal service.

In 2016, Trump narrowly lost Minnesota. In 2020, he is clearly making a play for the typically blue state. He delivered a speech there on Monday. Recent polls are showing that he definitely has a chance to win the state.

A CNN poll conducted by SSRS released this morning has Democrats freaking out, showing that Joe Biden's national lead has narrowed by 10% in the past month, and now is down to 4%. And that's among "registered voters" not "likely voters" so enthusiasm for Trump, which has exceeded Biden in most polls, isn't a factor.

On Saturday, I wrote about the Hollyweird Post Office freak out about the USPS replacing some mailboxes in Oregon.  The conspiracy theory apparently goes that President Trump is trying to "steal" the election by removing—and then replacing—mailboxes in Oregon.  Or something.

The Morning Joe Show is panicking. I doubt they believe the polls that Biden is close to double-digits ahead. The usual crazed conspiracy theories and foaming at the mouth have reached a new level.

There are rumblings that Kamala Harris may not be eligible to be Vice President under the 12th Amendment, by virtue of her not being eligible to be President since she is not a 'natural born Citizen' ("no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States").

The 'Trump War Room' operation of the Trump campaign was ready with an attack ad on the pick of Kamala Harris, branding her as "phony." This branding, as I pointed out with regard to Trump branding people, only works if there is some truth to it and it resonates with the public perception.
