who is snrks. i had a conservativefront that voted for him in 2016 that s not going to vote for him now. i said, well, first of all, i could name a lot of people. i could name a lot of college-educated women and people who said what do i have to lose? why should i vote for hillary clinton when over half of the country said in a poll that she should have been indicted when her honest and trustworthy numbers were as low as donald trump s. for arguments sake, let s say donald trump got every single vote in 2020 that he got in 2016. he was an anomaly. even donald trump told me, i could have run ten days and i would have lost nine.
it s just so important to remember, again, as everybody is saying, donald trump lives in the moment. and that has worked because up until now, he s figured out how to keep everybody off balance with the crazy tweet here, a crazy statement there. constantly trying to keep them off balance. a trade war with china. that starts to resolve itself, so he starts a trade war with mexico. the markets rebel against him, he knows he can haven t a weak stock market. so what does he do? he makes up a fake agreement, secret agreement, which we find out the mexicans said last night, no, there was never a secret agreement. so now he s moving back to fighting china. well, people are going to catch on. and when suddenly your four years can be reduced to 30-second ads, those 30-second ads will be devastating against donald trump, and he s not going to be able to tweet his way out of that corner. still ahead, a deal with
the state by state. you and i talked about this a good bit before. everybody is always fighting the last war. it what generals and political operatives do. everybody thinks donald trump has magic pew done and shocked the world again he s a 43% president and trailing badly and a lot of states, losing in worcester be stwrrks sfsh i m shocked by how many of them have this drk not a foop f perpetual.
eugene robinson is with us this morning. well, after months of criticizing each other, former vice president joe biden and president trump are bound for iowa today, where they will both be campaigning. to the new york times, president trump has been calling former advisers who haven t heard from him in years in order to discuss his standing in the polls against top democrats in the field, specifically biden, whom he describes in those conversations as too old and not as popular as people think. after being briefed on a devastating 17-state poll conducted by his campaign pollster, trump told aides to deny that his internal polling showed him trailing biden in many of the states he needs to win, even though he is also trailing in public polls from key states like texas, michigan, and pennsylvania. when top-line details of the polling leaked, including numbers, showing the president lagging in several critical rust belt states, trump instructed aides to say publicly that other
