Showing Original Post only (View all)Michael Moore Predicts 2020 Trump Victory [View all]
In an interview with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, Michael Moore said if the election were held today that President Trump would win a second term. However, Moore predicted the Democratic candidate for president would win the popular vote count by 4 to 5 million people.
Moore warned the "problem" is support for Trump in the Midwest has not gone down by "one inch" and that Trump voters are "even more rabid" than before because they are afraid he may lose.
"I think if the election were held today," Moore said of a Trump victory. "Hillary won by 3 million popular votes. I believe whoever the Democrat is next year is going to win by 4 to 5 million popular votes. Theres no question in my mind that people who stayed home, who sat on the bench, theyre going to pour out, in California, New York and you know, but also in Texas and whatever, I mean, places that Trump will probably win, but, yeah, theres going to be a much higher percentage of people voting against him."

Moore doesn't seem to realize how close Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were.

That's why, whomever wins the Democratic nomination MUST select the runner-up as their VP pick.

Moore is a Green Party Naderite turned Bernie Bro who spends more time bashing Dems than the GOP.
