We're going to make them cry again in 2020
AP - Can former Vice President Joe Biden or Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., actually defeat President Trump in the 2020 presidential election? Democrats watching Trump’s Minneapolis rally Thursday night have to wonder.
President Trump wowed the crowd in blue-state Minnesota. And what a crowd it was; tens of thousands inside the arena chanting and cheering, while thousands more stood outside hoping to get in. The energy in the room was extraordinary, especially considering that the president, buoyed by his fans, spoke for an exhausting hour and 45 minutes.
Forget the polls, forget the partisan impeachment inquiry; the enthusiasm of those Minnesota supporters in a blue State, reminds us how powerful Trump is on the campaign trail and how lackluster Democratic candidates look in comparison.
When Trump gets on stage, he works the crowd as well as any rock star. There were a few hundred protesters outside the arena but enthusiasm was lacking, they seemed to be "just" there, much as the crowds who attend the Democrats' rallies. As a Biden supporter, I want to believe the polls that Biden is far ahead of Trump, but my eyes are telling me those polls are suspect.
