Donald Trump is now openly begging for votes
At a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump revealed just how desperate his political fortunes are at the moment. "Suburban women, will you please like me?" he pleaded. "I saved your damn neighborhood." Which, well, awkward.
Trump is so desperate he is begging for votes. Poor little Donald...
Biden and his supporters are strictly off topic.

At a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump revealed just how desperate his political fortunes are at the moment.
"Suburban women, will you please like me?" he pleaded . "I saved your damn neighborhood."
Which, well, awkward.
Trump is right, of course, that he has a major problem with suburban voters -- and suburban women in particular.
In 2016, Trump won voters who lived in the suburbs -- 49% of the total electorate -- by 2 points over Hillary Clinton, according to Pew .
Two years later, the President's party was crushed in the 2018 midterms -- losing control of the House -- thanks in large part to a suburban revolt against Trump . House Democratic candidates won 52% of suburban voters as compared to just 45% for House GOPers.
Of the 41 seats Democrats picked up in the 2018 election, 38 were in predominantly suburban districts . Which is remarkable.
Unfortunately for Trump -- and down-ballot Republicans -- the 2018 midterms weren't the low ebb for the President in the eyes of suburbanites.
States like Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia and Florida -- where much of the population resides in suburban areas -- have all moved away from Trump over the past few years.
Colorado looks to be out of reach for the President, and his struggles will likely cost Republican Sen. Cory Gardner his seat. Pennsylvania remains a possibility for Trump but his poor performance in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh suburbs could be too big a hole for him to dig out of.
Florida, Texas and Georgia are all toss ups at this point, largely due to Trump's underperformance in the suburban areas of the state.
The problem for Trump is that knowing he has a problem in the suburbs and fixing it are two very different things. Trump, as his quote on Tuesday night makes clear, has tried to scare women in the suburbs into voting for him; if Joe Biden wins, he claim with little subtlety, roving gangs of Antifa supporters will invade your suburban paradise.
But female suburban voters aren't buying it. As The New York Times wrote last month , citing polling data in Minnesota and Wisconsin:
"President Trump's effort to court suburban women by promising to protect their neighborhoods is encountering one sizable hitch: Most suburban women say their neighborhoods aren't particularly under threat."
The Point : Trump knows he is losing. And he knows that a lot of the problem has to do with the suburbs, and women living in the suburbs in particular. He also has no message that persuades them to reconsider voting for him. So he is resorting to begging -- which rarely works.

Does anyone feel sorry for poor little Donald? I DON'T THINK SO!
I sure don't, but what i think I'm learning is that American women are smarter than American men.
That's not a secret. Women vote in greater numbers than men, too.
I'm voting for Joe Biden. All the women I know are voting for Joe Biden. They're smart, decent folks. Those are the women who vote for Joe Biden.
Certainly not a surprise, [deleted]
That sounds like a personal insult directed at an NT member. Unacceptable.

Your comment read as if she would commit violence. I found that to be a personal insult directed at an NT member. The moderator deleted it for whatever reason(s) the moderator thought appropriate.
OK fair enough, but it was not meant to say she would commit violence. To clarify, the women told others of voting for Biden because they know the violent tendencies of many liberals if they find out anyone is a Trump supporter.
Again, no biggie
And the beat goes on......
This article is a unmitigated crock of BS!
Thank you for your participation.
Oh, that's right I'm sorry. Only those that share your views are allowed participation?
I thanked you, and you have a problem with it. Wow.
Why would I appreciate what was most likely meant as out and out sarcasm? Wow is right.
I cannot grasp why all those red states are still going to vote for the biggest loser ever in American politics!
We'll see how it all ends up. We may see several red states turn blue.
Perhaps it's because the rats on the Trumptanic's food (aka right wing media) was drugged. Trump assured them that his ship is unsinkable and in their drugged stupor they believed him. Now it's almost too late. The ship is sinking and the rats are still celebrating, dancing, drinking and cheering on deck.
Many are asking themselves the same thing about the blue states. Just depends on one's perspective does it not?
After that whiny request, he goes on to insult seniors.
Donald has proven time and again that HE'S NOT TOO SMART!
He's a dumbass shithead.
"Don't ever use the word smart with me." DJT
That is the PERFECT comment. Brilliant. Thank you!
Using "smart" and "Trump" in the same sentence would definitely put the moron in oxymoron.
20 days to the Trumpian meltdown
trumpturd said to the folks in California "What the hell do you have to lose?"
Our response: "With you as President, Donald, EVERYTHING!"
That's can't be happening as well all know there is no climate change. LOLOL
This suburban woman will NEVER vote for orange conman
Trump is having a rally in Iowa. This billboard is right outside where the rally is being held..LMAO
Truth. So correct.
We're not going to get rid of covid even after Trump is gone from the WH.
How did we get to the point to where everyone understood that they had to wear a seatbelt when driving. Isn't this the same thing only more important to others around you?
We are going to be dealing with the covid problem for a long time, prolonged by Trump's malfeasance.
Yesterday the US recorded 59,454 new COVID cases and 895 deaths.
There are still many who don't and a lot more that still text and drive. Americans are dumb when it comes to things that might inconvience them
So much for the personal responsibility thing.....
Should we try.... Do unto others.........?
Appealing to patriotism doesn't work.
So many anti makers are Trumptards so maybe they will implode and it will help solve the problem.
With lines like “I love the poorly educated!”, how has he not figured out how to appeal to the suburban women monolith?
