Wishful thinking has become Fake News over at Fox News:
“A stretch of lackluster polling for President Trump has some Republican operatives nervous about the president’s reelection prospects in November – with some even floating the possibility for the first time that Trump could drop out if his poll numbers don’t rebound. (Fox News June 28, 2020)“It’s too early, but if the polls continue to worsen, you can see a scenario where he drops out,” one GOP operative who asked to remain anonymous told Fox News.” (Fox News) “I’ve heard the talk but I doubt it’s true,” another said. “My bet is, he drops if he believes there’s no way to win.” “Trump’s poll numbers in recent weeks have trended downward amid criticism over his administration’s handling of the coronavirus epidemic and the White House response to the protests and riots following the death of George Floyd in late May while in Minneapolis police custody.”Few other networks have gone so far out of their way to make the public at large believe that there is no way for the president to win Election 2020 than Fox News, which rose to No. 1 on Cable News through identifying as “fair and balanced”.
“Everyone knows that media polling has always been wrong about President Trump - they undersample Republicans and don’t screen for likely voters - in order to set false narratives. It won’t work. There was similar fretting in 2016 and if it had been accurate, Hillary Clinton would be in the White House right now.” (Fox News)Loaded with common sense, most folk know that media polls are biased. It’s easy for Trump supporters to see that the left have progressed from knocking the MAGA hat off their heads, to knocking them out; from verbally abusing them to doxxing their entire family. So when the media comes calling for their voting intentions, knowing that they have their name, phone number and geographical location, who would they tell them they’re voting for? Suspiciously coinciding with myriad Internet clickbait suggestions that host Tucker Carlson is in trouble at Fox News comes this bold Carlson assertion:
“President Trump may lose this election,” Fox News host Tucker Carlson tweeted, hours after the release of his network's polls. (Fox News) “Carlson’s tweet linked to a video from his Thursday night primetime program, as he kicked off his show warning that “not many people are saying it out loud on the right, but the fact is that President Trump could well lose this election. In fact, unless fundamental facts change soon, it could be tough for him to be re-elected.”Carlson’s assertion that “not many people are saying it out loud on the right” is disingenuous because the truth is only two ANONYMOUS GOP members saying it, found a ready soap box on Fox News. Meanwhile, don’t buy into Fox News propaganda the same way you don’t buy into the propaganda and Fake News of MSNBC, CNN, and other “News” outlets. Wishful thinking and the spewing of hate notwithstanding, if the Democrats are stopped from forging though their “non-partisan” Mail-in-Vote, President Trump will win reelection by a landslide.
