After reading this book
I have been reading up more on Alexander Dugin who is looking like the ground zero for the emergence of the illiberal democracy in Europe and maybe even here.
A lot of people joke about Trump having a mid 40’s approval but Omar is rocking a 9% approval rating so who knows.
Is this what you’re talking about ? That isn’t among all voters, just a certain demographic subset:
Yeah, cause they were chanting SEND HER BACK because they researched her political stances, her life history, the political landscape of Washington and Minnesota.
After all that research, they came up with a stupid ■■■■■■■ chant! Occam’s razor doesn’t benefit your argument here.

Yep that’s the poll swing voters, which would be no big deal in California but could mean
more in a state like Minnesota.
That poll is specific to white non-college-educated voters.
A strong third-party candidate can make it possible for Trump to win Minnesota.
In Michigan, if 25% of the people there that voted for Jill Stein instead voted for Hillary Clinton, than Hillary would have won Michigan.
err we are Americans why oh why do we always bring Israel into the conversation? Why not bring Canada, UK or Sweden into the conversation why always Israel?
Why does Ilhan Omar need to worry about approval ratings outside of her district?

I can’t figure that out either. Why is it even a thing?
When you think of the Democratic presidential candidate, or any Dem running in 2020, Republicans hope you’ll think of Ilhan Omar too.
Because a vote against Trump is a vote for Omar.
or something.
It’s not a bad strategy.
Fear is a powerful drug.

It makes you stupid
In politics, it’s essential. Remember 2008, McCain = McSame as Bush ?
Dems even did a scary Halloween campaign ad about that.
Why do you people always repeat stuff without verifying it first? Especially, when you’re quoting something trump said.
But McCain was running for Bush’s job. In this case Republicans are trying to link the entire party to four newbie congresspeople.
Because talk radio lately has been repeating Omar having a 9% approval nationwide rating.
“Unprofessionally trained” me had these red flags:
*Hillary is still one of the most hated individuals in politics…mostly by the right but enough not on the right that they would at least be indifferent (in the key states, helped along by social media, this is what happened to her).
*It’s still a high bar to get a woman elected President. After electing a black guy, I thought a second straight transformational election was going to be a tough sell.
*Bernie Sanders’ voters never got over what they thought was a betrayal by the DNC…there were enough stories about that that that I gave them real credence- my first inkling that the “forgotten” were really pissed off. Well- plus I lived in what could be a community of “the forgotten” in Eastern PA.
*Hillary is a ■■■■■■■ lazy campaigner who was totally was disengaged from her campaign…this part was true- she wanted to hobnob with her donors. She was disengaged from her campaign…else maybe she would have heard her boots on the ground in the Blue Wall pleading for her to go there- that things were very wrong up there (that part, of course, I didn’t know until after the election…but it flows from her disconnection from her own campaign). She was coasting on a blind faith in demographics.
*Finally- outside of “I’m not Donald Trump” she had no coherent message.
I hammered on the latter two when I was telling you guys not to be overconfident. I said relying on demographics and an “I’m not Donald” message was turning what should be a lead pipe lock into a real contest.
She needed to provide real answers to “the forgotten”. She didn’t have any, and she didn’t connect with them anyway.
