Trump starts his bid for 2020

[Black Orchid]

I think the problem is the term "sexually assaulted" ...

Someone, standing near you on a moving train, or putting their arm around you at a party, or trying to kiss you when they are drunk, is NOT sexual assault.

Call is what it is RAPE .... forced sex when you say NO and he ignores you.

Yes people are accused of sexual assault now for whistling at or looking at someone the wrong way but she says Trump 'raped' her in a department store and I call BS.

Yeah, it's just like the fanciful accusations against Judge Kavanaugh when he was nominated for the Supreme Court.

No witnesses, no evidence, no corroboration of any kind.

But some lady comes out of the woodwork, talks in a baby doll voice and claims Kavanaugh did something bad to her 36 years ago, and the American lefties insist that she deserves to be believed.

I agree that sexual assault is a serious matter. But so is destroying someone's reputation ... and the concept of "innocent until proven guilty."

She said that most people think of rape as being sexy. She's clearly not got both oars in the water!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a rising star in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party — bold, outspoken and hugely popular on social media.

But the millennial congresswoman is reportedly sparking concerns among some top Democrats, with fears her defining presence could lose the party crucial swinging voters at the 2020 election.

The issue has come to a head this week, with Ms Ocasio-Cortez at the centre of a Twitter spat with US President Donald Trump.

And while his comments were officially condemned as racist by the House of Representatives, the latest spat could be actually helping Mr Trump win the 2020 election.

>snip<

Since being elected, Ms Ocasio-Cortez has been an outspoken critic of Mr Trump.

But an anonymous Democratic group leaked an internal poll to Axios revealing swinging voters strongly dislike prominent progressive politicians, such as Ms Ocasio-Cortez.

According to the poll, Ms Ocasio-Cortez had a 22 per cent approval rating, and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota had a 9 per cent approval rating among 1003 “likely general-election voters who are white and have two years or less of college education”.

Seventy-four per cent of these voters had heard of Ms Ocasio-Cortez, while 53 per cent had heard of Ms Omar.

“If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the (House) majority at risk,” a Democrat involved in the 2020 congressional races said. “She’s getting all the news and defining everyone else’s races.”

The same poll viewed the term “socialism” favourably by just 18 per cent of voters compared with 69 per cent who disliked it, while “capitalism” was viewed 56 per cent favourably and 32 per cent unfavourably.

That's probably why Trump is baiting the Fab Four. The more they appear on TV, spouting their socialistic crap and anti-semitism, the more average Americans will see how loony left the Democratic Party has become.

Joe Biden, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for president, found his record on race under scrutiny again on Friday after a gaffe on the campaign trail.

“We should challenge students in these schools,” the former vice-president said during a speech to the Asian & Latino Coalition group in Des Moines, Iowa. “We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

Lol! I’m sure America’s media are all over this. Can you imagine if Trump said something like that?

[The4thEstate]

It's actually getting a lot more coverage in the national media than I would have expected. In fact, the New Yorker published this story, titled, "Why Biden's Gaffes Matter."

Have you heard about Biden's latest gem of a quote? From the New Yorker:

At the Iowa State Fair, on Thursday, he screwed up one of his new slogans, telling a crowd, “We choose truth over facts!”

Honestly, if he were talking this way anywhere else in America, some kind soul would take his hand and try to help him find the nursing home he'd obviously wandered away from.

Protestors burn red Trump hats, hold anti-police chants and destroy property outside a Trump campaign rally Thursday night in Minneapolis.

Protestors yelled "fuck you guys" and "animal abuse" at law enforcement officers saddled on horses.

Anti Trump protestors in Minnesota stole about 40 hats off the heads of Trump supporters & then lit them on fire at the Trump Rally

They then left the ashes as a vigil against fascism, leaving a f*ck Trump sign on the top of the pile

This is tolerance. This is the left

My producer and I were bear maced in the face while reporting on the quickly dilapidating situation outside the Minnesota Trump rally

Arrests have been made. Antifa is present. Violence is common place at this point. Typical end of the night anarchy

The situation outside the Trump rally in Minnesota is quickly deteriorating

Left wing protestors are destroying barricades

A protestor can be seen waving the Chinese flag in front of riot police. While people in Hong Kong wave American flags for freedom, we wave Chinese flags

One person reported that Trump supporters are "fleeing" the event after it ended to avoid being attacked by protesters:

Trump supporters are literally fleeing the event after it ended as protestors are waiting around attacking attendees as they leave the arena

It is not safe in Minneapolis any longer for Trump supporters. Please stay away from the vicinity and do not come out with branded gear.

In this riot of anti-trump. I was just trying to get through with my brother, and I’ve never been called a racist so many times let alone ever. I’ve never been shoved for just walking through for thinking I was a trump supporter. I don’t have opinions on trump but this was wack.

They were even throwing urine at the police. How the left can condone and practice this abhorrent behaviour is beyond any normal mind and the left like to TRY to portray themselves as tolerant?

My what a long bow you're pulling there, Black Orchid.

The Left is a broad church. Some of the more extreme end of the spectrum condone what is happening, many towards the centre don't. Please stop labelling everybody on the Left as being the same and uniform in their opinions. We are not the Borg. It doesn't become you or your arguments. Tsk, tsk.
