TruthDefender:
Trump's brother, Robert dies from an undisclosed illness...

It's being rumored he died of Covid, which is why it's being kept hush hush. If he had died of any other disease, we would already know.

Trump probably had him drinking Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc..

R.I.P to the dead man
What will you call a supposed truth defender that is spreading lies? You should be ashamed of yourself or at least your friends and family should be ashamed of you since you clearly have no shame.

I guess playing golf is a perfect of way of respecting him then.

We should respect the death of person that his own brother didn't even care enough about.


If trump was playing golf when his own brother was dying, unknown Americans are definitely on their own.
That's why over 160k people are dead and the mad unhinged maniac is still busy playing politics with it.

By the way, how is speculating how someone died disprecting him. If they don't want people to speculate, they should have released cause of death.

Biden heads into the conventions in a historically strong position

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/16/politics/biden-conventions-analysis/index.html

A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds former Vice President Joe Biden at 53% to President Donald Trump's 42% nationally among registered voters.

Biden's advantage is similar in other polls out this past week: Fox News poll (Biden by 7 points) and Monmouth University (Biden by 10 points). The average of all polls puts Biden above 50% and ahead by 8 to 10 points, depending on how you exactly average.

What's the point: Biden's lead has been about as stable as they come. Since the beginning of June, he's been up by around 8 to 10 points. We'll see whether the convention period, that begins tomorrow, alters the race.
For now though, we can say Biden's doing better than any challenger heading into the major party conventions since scientific polling began.

In the 13 previous elections in which an incumbent was running for another term, no challenger has ever been at or above 50% in the polls at this point in the campaign. The closest were Jimmy Carter in 1976 and Thomas Dewey in 1948. Carter was at about 49%, while Dewey came in at between 48% and 49%.

Jared Kushner, who is the leader of the WH Task force on the Covid-19 pandemic on CBS Face the Nation.

He couldn't articulate anything about the achievement of the Task force, and even nothing positive has been achieved with thd Middle East peace plan


CBS: We had over 1,500 US deaths from Covid just on Wednesday, which is similar to what we were seeing in May. We're on track for 200k deaths by Labor Day. What have you done wrong?
JARED KUSHNER: Back in May the rate was about 2,500 deaths a day, so we're still below the peak

CBS: What is the goal of the coronavirus task force at this point? To slow the spread of the virus, or just protect the vulnerable?
JARED KUSHNER: Well look, we know a lot more than we did five months ago.

CBS: But what is the White House task force's coronavirus strategy? Do you think you have control of the virus?
JARED KUSHNER: Look, I came on today to talk about peace in the Middle East.

CBS: Is the Trump campaign worried you may disfranchise some of your voters by not giving aid to the Postal Service?
JARED KUSHNER: "Okay again, I hope we'll get to talk about Middle East peace

Jason Miller says it’s a ‘very solemn day’ for Trump after he plays golf while brother was dying

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/jason-miller-says-its-a-very-solemn-day-for-trump-after-he-plays-golf-while-brother-was-dying/

Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller lamented the death of President Donald Trump’s brother, Robert Trump, as the president spent part of the weekend playing golf.

During an interview on ABC’s This Week program, host George Stephanopoulos offered his condolences to Miller.

“Thank you very much,” Miller replied. “It’s a very solemn day here in Trump headquarters. I know the president would very much appreciate those words, George.”

Miller went on to say that the campaign would make an announcement in coming days about a possible change in schedule due to the death of the president’s brother.

Trump faced criticism over the weekend after he played golf while his brother was dying on Saturday.


Well, it's not the first time this will happen, in the book written by Mary Trump, Donald Trump's niece. Donald Trump went to the threatre when her father, Fred Trump Jr died.

Fred went to the hospital, then Donald went to the theater,
Donald and others must have assessed that Fred would be okay, since he was strong enough to go on his own.

I don't think all these polls makes any difference, people voting is all that matters. In 2016 Hillary was miles ahead yet lost the election.

Stop that false narrative. Hillary was never miles ahead of Trump in the polls in 2016. Few weeks to the elections the, Hillary's lead was even within the margin of error.

CNN Poll: Biden Lead Shrinks on Convention Eve with Double-Digit Shift Trump’s Way
Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden’s lead has evaporated in the past two months, a new poll from CNN shows.

Biden leads President Donald Trump by just four points nationally — 50 percent to 46 percent — and by even less across 15 battleground states that will determine who wins the electoral college. In those 15 states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin — the new CNN poll has Biden leading by just one percent, with Biden at 49 and Trump at 48.

The top line national number of a four-point race represents a double-digit shift in Trump’s direction from CNN’s last national poll in early June. That survey, two months ago, had Biden up 14 points — meaning this latest survey represents a ten-point swing Trump’s way as the summer has progressed heading into the conventions.

The Democrats begin their virtual convention, during which Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) will be formally nominated as the presidential and vice presidential candidates, this week. The Republicans hold their convention the following week.

In an article explaining the significant movement in Trump’s direction against Biden, CNN’s polling director Jennifer Agiesta wrote that the president has shored up several demographics that he was slipping in before.

“The movement in the poll among voters nationwide since June is concentrated among men (they split about evenly in June, but now 56% back Trump, 40% Biden), those between the ages of 35 and 64 (they tilt toward Trump now, but were Biden-leaning in June) and independents (in June, Biden held a 52% to 41% lead, but now it’s a near even 46% Biden to 45% Trump divide),” Agiesta wrote. “Trump has also solidified his partisans since June. While 8% of Republicans or Republican-leaning independents in June said they would back Biden, that figure now stands at just 4%. And the President has boosted his backing among conservatives from 76% to 85%.”

The poll was conducted from August 12 to August 15, meaning that it was done entirely in the wake of the announcement from Biden that Harris would be his running mate. Agiesta wrote that Americans have just a “narrowly positive” view of Harris, with 41 percent saying they view her favorably and 38 percent unfavorably — not a great boost to the Biden ticket as the first week a vice presidential nominee comes out of the gate, they usually do better than they will as the campaign progresses.

CNN divides the sample size into three separate categories: simply American adults, registered voters, and registered voters in battleground states. The margin of error increases the more specific the sample set gets.

“The CNN Poll was conducted by SSRS August 12 through 15 among a random national sample of 1,108 adults reached on landlines or cellphones by a live interviewer, including 987 registered voters,” Agiesta wrote. “The survey also includes an oversample of residents of 15 battleground states for a total subsample of 636 adults and 569 registered voters from those states. That subset was weighted to its proper share of the overall adult population of the United States. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. It is 4.0 points among registered voters and 5.4 points for results for registered voters in the battleground states.”

Barack Obama reportedly said: 'Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*ck things up'
Barack Obama reportedly expressed private doubts about Joe Biden becoming the Democrat presidential nominee in 2020.

According to Politico the former president told one Democrat: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f... things up."

Mr Obama was also said to have spoken about his own understanding of the 2020 Democrat electorate in Iowa.

"And you know who really doesn’t have it? Joe Biden," he reportedly said.

There were said to have been lingering tensions between the two after Mr Obama supported Hillary Clinton for the nomination in 2016.

Voter fraud is real:

Michigan had to reject almost 900 mailed-in ballots for their August 4th election because the supposed voter was dead. Imagine that? 900 dead people had their ballots cast and mailed in by other people!!! And these were the ones that were found out, you know much more than that is happening especially in Dem controlled areas. That's why Democrats want billions of dollars to make sure this can happen in every state across America.
