What is going on in this battle ground state? New Poll shows Trump and Joe Biden Tied in Battleground Minnesota
Trump has tied up the presidential race in the battleground state of Minnesota, a Trafalgar Group survey released Thursday revealed.
Trafalgar Group’s survey, conducted August 15-18 among 1,141 likely general election voters, showed Trump and Biden in the midst of a dead heat in the North Star State. Trump garnered 46.5 percent of the vote, compared to Biden’s 46.9 percent.
China is dreaming of Joe Biden. They are trying everything through their news network to mislead the honest American. We need to close down China’s news network.

Of course it will, we’ve never had a sleepy grandpa at the helm before 😂
@Tarquin Bright And he’s done this how many times? And has he lied 20,000 times in the last 3 years?
@Tarquin Bright Enjoy the next few months. It’ll be over soon.
@Mr407Mike no that is a fake lie count by the proven liars Washington Post. If you take any notice of that you must be a bit simple.
@Tarquin Bright Sure, whatever you don’t agree with is fake. Now run along and inject the disinfectant as you were told.
@Mr407Mike no one told anyone to inject disinfectant, that is yet another lie told by your lot.
#DemEXIT
TYT denied a press pass, the left eats its own.
@Jen Robbie Good. Now you can talk to Attorney General Barr since, according to you, he’s got this all wrong and YOU should be doing his job because you haven’t taught it to him yet. Wait. That whole operation was totally uncalled for and unnecessary because all this killing, looting, destruction, and violence is simply our misguided “percerption of reality” as CNN put it and is all just a figment of our imagination when in reality this is all just “peaceful protests” where like Schumer said himself, makes the wearing of masks a freakin’ “option”?
Jen Robbie – you obviously are not aware and if you are you don’t understand population analytics. You are either dumber than sea slug or you are just another narcissistic oxygen thief marooned on fantasy island of moronic fools blinded their political narrative and dangerously anti-research and anti-science. No wonder why you are an INCEL and unemployable.
@Jets Tom There’s the Bullsh*t names I was waitin’ for. Now, If I had as much time on my hands as you do I could keep up with all this Bullsh*t your so good at talkin’ so well.
@John Roper You are telling me that you are stupid and hate Democracy.
@Ricky Spanish No racist. If that was true we would have never killed off the NAZI’s the first time.
I miss the days when CNN actually brought on people like Frank Zappa as a counter. Now we just get partisan bootlickers with no one challenging their b.s.
@JONOVID -I miss the days when we had a president that was respectable. Did you make the same comment when FOX News complained about Obama, including the time he wore a tan suit?
@StealieSteve You are doing a great job of proving someone says stupid things.
@Jen Robbie As Noam Chomsky says, ” Its right in front of your eyes.” From Carter deregulation of various industries to Bill Clinton’s NAFTA and Telecom Act to Obama taking outus to two wars to seven, not prosecuting any bankers and then go on a drone bombing killing spree with plenty of collateral damagever murder. Obama even admitted if he was around in the 80s he would of been considered conservative. Ask Europeans if our dems here would be considered liberal or conservative. https://youtu.be/tBzSLu3MZ6I
@StealieSteve -What are you rambling about? Trying to use talking points to justify what the right is doing NOW only goes to show that you’re not paying attention to what’s happening before YOUR eyes. Why is that such a taboo subject for so many of you guys?
64 shot, 5 fatally, across Chicago this weekend coming to a town near you … keep supporting
Yeah right… That’ll be the day
I live in a white neighborhood
Not my problem

Chicago is proof BL DON’T matter to violent Marxist BLM domestic terrorist & that’s just a fact
CNN needs to talk about the brutal beating of Adam Haner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3htNmqwqLg
@pinebird Well the right wing saturates the US with guns so that when regional areas outlaw them criminals still get them through you’re trash parts of the country.
Kamala didn’t mean it when she said Biden is racist and that she believed his accusers.
@Tech Titan they are smart enough to -waste- spend tens of thousands of dollars on liberal arts degree only to end up working at Starbucks
@Riki tiki Tavi The only female you would vote for??? There are many qualified women all over the country. It’s vile(expected from a Trump supporter) that you would only consider the unimpressive Candace Owens
@winstonS If you say so, but regardless of degree, People with them vote progressive/democrat. Critical thinking will prevent you from believing a conman who’s lied and cheated all the way through life somehow is good for the country.
@Tech Titan the problem is that students are being taught WHAT to think instead of HOW to think
“I don’t want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle.” – Joe Biden, 1977
“If Haiti sunk into the Caribbean it wouldn’t matter a whole lot to our interests” – Joe Biden, 1994
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” — Joe Biden about Obama, 2007
“Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids.” – Joe Biden, 2019
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black” – Joe Biden, 2020
Biden wrote 1994 crime bill which led to massive incarceration. Ever heard of 3 strike rule which in some states leads to MANDATORY life sentence? Joe Biden’s idea.
When US Supreme Court demanded that California lowers its overcrowded prison population, Kamala Harris argued against it by saying that “prisoners provide a source of cheap labor” working for $2/DAY collecting trash from parks and even fighting wildfires. How do you call it? Starts with S
She was locking people up for smoking weed while smoking it herself and then laughing about it. She said that she believes women who accused Biden of rape and then agreed to be his closest friend by accepting VP role.
@winstonS The 94 crime bill had harsh penalties, but it’s not the government’s fault if you get locked up for breaking the law. Unless they were innocent, I don’t understand why I should feel sorry for criminals getting caught. YOU did the crime the end.
That “”you ain’t black” thing he said was a joke, but I’m not offended. Not a Trump fan, don’t understand why anybody would be.
Those other quotes you posted don’t offend me either.
160,000(maybe more) have passed away because this president believes in witch doctors and magical medicine. The dead are disproportionately black and brown. He’s killed more people than “Sleepy” Joe.
Trump passed criminal reform which I was surprised and impressed by, but look at his other policies.
Trump has removed many programs which help black people, brown people, gay/trans people.
He’s trying to defund the Postal service because he’s afraid it will hurt him. He’s engaging in the greatest act of voter suppression I’ve ever seen.
But the rioters aren’t wearing mask or social distancing . they’re spreading the virus the most
I know and I don’t get that either. Just the smart people see that.
@THE ANGRY QUAD are you that racist quad that assaulted those poor peaceful protesters in Tulsa?
https://youtu.be/7ZGuXhKgftY
@intellectual thug No, just your run of the mill quadriplegic!
@THE ANGRY QUAD :”) i was about to congratulate you there, That seems to be in bad taste now
@Mark Newville Smart people see that you are stupid and gullible.
Canon was five years old white boy Who was murdered by a black man.
🙁 BLM sucks
This is your BLM and DenoCRAPS at it’s best.
Someone is going to say hey CNN did cover it! CNN buried the story at the bottom of their web page. It’s called bias by omission… They push down stories that don’t fit their narrative.
@intellectual thug wow! BLM sucks huh?
2016: Trump said “How bad could it be, what do you have to lose?’
2020: Your Life, Job, Healthcare, SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Pensions, 401K, Stock Gains, House, Apartment, Air Quality, Water Quality, Wildlife, Voting & Protesting Rights, Citizenship, Religious liberties, Sanity!
Trump’s catastrophic failure as President of the United States, combined with his attack on Democratic norms and institutions and the rampant corruption of the Trump Family, will be seen by historians as the lowest and most tragic period in the history of America. His brain barely functions. He’s at a nursery rhyme level. Allowing him to be in the WH as he deteriorates from frontotemporal dementia is obscene. He’s infected his supporters who believe his imbecilic delusions.
Trump is the GREATEST threat to our democracy since World War II. Period.
We know. That isn’t equivocal to a systematic racial problem, involving police. I know you desperately need a red herring to shift the narrative but anyone who has taken basic philosophy and logic understands what you are doing is a complete non-sequitur and you really don’t actually care about what happened to little Can. You need a scapegoat, an out.
His killer was arrested within 24 hours and again not anything to do with a string of easily traceable systematic problems in say something like Law enforcement in this country.
Nice try though. However, we know you will not approach this rationally. You’ll continue to spam “fake news” and logical fallacies everything because that’s what the discourse has turned into these days.
Fauci: No reason people can’t vote in person ‘if carefully done’
We’re supposedly a first world nation. People should be able to vote by mail if they want to, even if there wasn’t a pandemic.
Xavier Rosante – If we would take Mail – In Ballots as seriously as they do in the U.K., maybe we could…..but that would require voters to complete an application submission and verification, prior to the election.
Democrats seem to have a problem with that part.
@Xavier Rosante people vote in person ‘if its Republican
@Xavier Rosante We are a third world country when it comes to verifying mail in ballots as legitimate.

I really like watching 2 “whites” cheer for the Bolshevik revolution.
Thought I was the only one that saw it
Good we can laugh about it
but we should be crying
Could someone do an actual interview of Biden or Harris? According to y’all “Orange Man Bad” is an evil evil deceitful man… but he does do interviews and he takes the hard questions, you may not like his answers… but he answers them.
Biden is too busy copying Trumps policies or stuff that is already in place. How busy are you to not do an hour interview with Chris Wallace? Do people really want a Hiding Biden as the next POTUS? I sure don’t.
They won’t let him out of the basement lol
Trump 2020!!!!!!!🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿🎈🎉🎈 Praise the one true God, the God of the Bible Jesus Christ!!

Now for some actual real truthful news drew berquist
, GRAPHIC: Antifa Member Violently Kicks Male in the Head, Knocks Him Unconscious in Sickening Display, Antifa continued their violent crusade over the weekend in a sickening display against humanity. Drew weighs in and explains the irony behind their stated mission, and how they don’t understand the term fascism.
Sigh, more anti American idiots trying to distract by calling their own U.S. citizens terrorists without any evidence while Trump supporters are actually getting charged with acts of terrorism for threatening to kill the Michigan Governor. Hey how about this. Why is Fox News refusing to talk about Trump defunding the USPS because of mail in voting which is a federal crime and abuse of power?
@Eric I thought about your statement. I would much rather be hit with an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory than say a bike lock, ball bat, club, pepper spray, boot, shoe, knife etc.
Antifa is evil and supported by the Democratic Party.

ANTIFA means antifascist. Are you profascism?

Looking forward to Biden putting his foot in his mouth even while reading off a teleprompter
@Scott Krater Dumb statement w/o proof. Besides that’s the state of the country’s colleges…. English is a second language and you can forget about history.
@b k So I can see you couldn’t even respond to when I mentioned all of Trump’s “Mistakes” according to you and then you want to then go and throw more blatant lies at me with this BS cospiracy theory that Biden has been in the basement which is absolutely a false right wing talking point from Fox News and Trump. Joe Biden has actually been all over the country giving speeches, having live meetings where he released his economic ajenda, his healthcare plan, his plans for safely and properly reopening the country, and also reopening schools. He has shown to have empathy and compassion in these speeches. When Joe Biden is at home like the majority of Americans are due to this pandemic, he is following CDC guidelines in which a overwhelming majority of Americans support. Meanwhile Trump has put his own supporters lives at risk of dying from covid by having wreckless rallies with thousands not social distancing and not wearing masks and it contributed to a spike in covid cases. Why do you think Hermain Cain died from covid right after that rally? I will say it again, you are a hipporcrate and have no credible argument against Biden at all. I’m done here.
@b k Without proof? Which one? If you listen to the man, he can’t even read off a teleprompter without making mistakes, and as for the other look how many ex Goldman Sachs exec’s are working in the government.
@Jordan I know how but trump sure don’t, amazed he knows how to pronounce his own last name.
@Jordan You did not reply to me about Trump’s mistakes you replied NPC1337 that’s why you did not get a reply. Biden won’t even take questions unless they are prearranged softballs. Anyone who thinks Trump seriously wants people to inject themselves with bleach deserves Biden. Biden was in office 47 years what did he accomplish then? He and Obama had the house and the senate and yet they did nothing. Biden is giving speeches to packed halls of 5-6 people, how convenient he can claim it’s because he’s worried about the health of others. 170,000 families have not died. You would be happy if the entire country went into a depression because of Covid. That millions of people would suffer financial ruin because we have to protect old people like myself. That children would go w/o an education that would keep them in poverty for the rest of their lives. Truth is the majority who die do so because of underlying health problems as did Herman Cain (cancer). Biden called Trump a racist for stopping travel from China then two months later said Trump should have stopped it sooner. Biden said he and Obama left a playbook for a pandemic but no one knows where they hid the face masks and ventilators. Rioters were in Portland for six weeks, Trump brought in the marshals to protect a federal building. They left, the rioting continues to this day. Even the state police left because the local D.A. won’t prosecute. Name me a city run by republicans that is experiencing rioting and looting. Even Colin Powell said the media blew the Russian bounty story way out of whack. Trump does not control the post office, it’s run by a board of governors the head of which was unanimously approved by the democrats. The post office lost $8.8 billion last year and has lost money for the last 13 years but you and Pelosi think that after doing nothing about it for decades, you can throw money at it two months before the election and fix it. Get off your butt and go vote, if the dead can vote so can you. P.S. If you’re going to call someone a hypocrite at least learn how to spell it.
“Ground Hog” Joe to make his pre-recorded address from his “bunker”. He thinks it’s the 1940 London “blitz”. The ladies from “Visiting Angels” to the rescue !
So thanks for uniting the Democratic party even more with your false conspiracy theories. Joe Biden along with everyone else giving their speeches are showing a great example of following CDC guidelines by staying safe at home to give their speeches and an overwhelming majority of Democrats support their decision.
Ground Hog Joe lolololol. I think Biden and Kamela is second only to Hillary/???? as the worst candidates in US History.
Every minority has the right to vote for president Trump, change my mind.
Trump 2020 . Mindless sheep will vote for Biden
Gerardo Argueta This would have been good advice before 2020
Trump is going to steal the election again….. by being the BEST CANDIDATE AGAIN
“Veganism is like Communism.. They are both fine, unless you like food.”
Communism =
Warfare, White against Black, rich against poor, pushing to destroy the family unit, hating on anyone who is successful and wealthy, “give me your home,” fighting against the old-school conservative family structure, fathers who are crippin all the time are no longer necessary, statues are being torn down, those on the front lines being dismantled, never really coming together for solutions, barking about “racial profiling” while playing the angel of light card?? Traveling with their zombie donations, for training on how to incite mob violence!?? Globally it has killed over 100,000,000+, a ruthless, godless, homegrown menace, less personal responsibility and more government, it is the greatest evil of this world, hatefully attacking liberty loving Americans, the most lethal ideology, which has nothing to do with the Black community I must add, deception for votes, torture, firing sqwads, holding hands with trained Marxists who clearly do not support capitalism, while regurgitating catch phrases, more violence and chaos then Derek and Zimmerman combined, people of all colors getting shot and killed, all due to this so called Marxists “revelolution” ?? Revolt, chaos, destruction, the rogue revolutionist hiding behind their zombie puppets, attacking American history!? Pushing for chaos while hiding behind their fraud websites and their “disinformation” nonsense?? Georgy gets a gold-plated casket while Secoriea gets crickets from BLM.fraud, overlooking members of the community shooting each other, yet riots for months when it’s a “White Cop” ?? The hypocrisy is sickening, and the ignorance is mind numbing!!! All is well “defunding the police” will change everything right?? Defacing statues!?? Your puppet master Karl Marx tells you to destroy history and you behave like the living dead, yet you can’t open your eyes to the destruction you nut jobs are bringing upon innocent people during a pandemic, including those within the Black community!???? Destroying property, lies are becoming “truth,” we see the far left puppeteers and their Black community, pushing socialist policies, and pushing for their “new norm” ?? Fear mongering, more government control is what we need right?? Bannishing history they don’t like, brainwashing the masses, using anything as a front to push their own agenda, “racism” hint hint, “I deserve reparations and luxury handbags,” ..and everyone is now “racist” ????
