Dems for Trump

Its not the first time this has happened, but seeing as how this is Trump, and you have the mindless minions out there calling him hitler, this is pretty amazing this time around.

Clearly these candidates are not Trump fans, and they for sure do not want to be in this position, but politicians are slimeballs, especially those that are democrats, so this is what they do. They see Trump making headway and all of a sudden, for self preservation and an attempt to stop the crossover votes, they like Trumps values.

Notice in the 4th paragraph below how much influence Trump has had on positive polling data for the Republican who was behind by 9 points two months ago in MI but now only trails by 1.4. That is a phenomenal turn around and a testament to Trumps influence.

Its these kind of poll numbers that can make one start to believe that Trump can win this thing if the democrats haven't already cheated their way to a win.

A week from the election, we have bipartisan consensus on two points regarding Pennsylvania.

The first is that the presidential contest is way too close to call. The second is that only one contender has coattails. Both candidates for Senate—Republican challenger Dave McCormick and Democratic incumbent Bob Casey—agree on who that is: Donald Trump.

That Mr. McCormick would hitch his wagon to Mr. Trump is no surprise. But Mr. Casey is also wrapping his arms around the former president as a means of boosting his credibility. He’s doing this even as Kamala Harris is denouncing Mr. Trump as a “fascist” and Hillary Clinton is likening his Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden to a 1939 gathering sponsored by the pro-Nazi German American Bund.

These developments have proved a boon for the McCormick campaign. Two months ago, he was down 8 or 9 points. Today he trails Mr. Casey by only 1.4 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average. The better Mr. Trump does, the better for Mr. McCormick. To put it another way, Pennsylvania in the final week of the 2024 election has upset what was a common assumption at the beginning of the year: that Republicans would have to distance themselves from Mr. Trump to have any hope of winning.

Nor is Mr. Casey the only Democrat running for Senate who’s decided that the winning strategy is to distance himself from Ms. Harris and embrace his inner Trump. Wisconsin’s Tammy Baldwin and Michigan’s Elissa Slotkin are among those who have made similar moves.
