Ex-RNC Chair Makes Ominous Prediction About Donald Trump's 2020 Tactics
[Huffpoo] Former Republican National Committee chair Michael
"Employed by MSNBC"
Steele has warned voters what to expect from President Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2020 election.

And in light of Trump’s controversial claim that Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats are disloyal or uninformed, Steele predicted the president’s tactics and rhetoric will be "in stark contrast to what we saw in 2016."

"As abhorrent and disrespecting as it is, we need to just settle in because this is just the warmup of what will be a series of narratives created by the president around particular interest groups," Steele said on Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s "Hardball with Chris Matthews."
"Interest groups"... are you referring to the tribal, identity politics folks ?
"When you sit down and you say this about the Jewish community, then what about African Americans, what about Hispanics, how they vote?" he added.

"This, I think, is something in stark contrast to what we saw in 2016. I think it’s going to be more personal, and a little bit more in-depth," Steele explained. "It’s going to cut a little closer to the bone for a lot of Americans when they have their religion shoved in their face and a litmus test of how they vote based on that religion."

Little need to "sit down" and think about it. We already know how the majority of these folks vote.

Any real difference than people born here who really aren't Americans?

#4 Steele reminds me of Dr. Cavor in First Men In The Moon, without the good story or the quirky smarts to get to the moon. "Gibb! The furnace!"

#6 Another way to say it is Trump is going to make folks justify or reevaluate their previous knee-jerk voting patterns.

#7 You mean things like "All veterans are mentally disturbed", or how about "All Trump voters are bible clinging, gun owning red necks", Or the easy standby of all Trump supporters are "Deplorables", and last but not least, "All Trump supports need to be put in concentration camps". You mean comments like these???? GFY

#9 Fuck off RINO. I'm sick of the kind of "conservative" that you support. They are really liberal lite and globalists.

#14 Nancy is no true Catholic. I'm surprised her bishop didn't excommunicate her years ago.

#15 All bets are off. We live in a climate of fear.
The polls do not accurately capture what people think or feel, and will not predict what they will do next November.

In the current hysterical and vindictive climate few if any who live and works in a deep or even moderately blue environment will dare to voice any thought that could in any way be construed as possibly pro-Trump. That's risking retaliation (by the employer), ostracism (by colleagues), and denunciation (by a 1,000 little manic online jacobins).

What will happen is that the millions who have been silenced will speak loud and clear in the privacy of the voting booth next November.
