Donald Trump has a very sensitive ego when it comes to most things , but especially when it comes to crowd size .
Just like no one will ever forget former White House press secretary Sean Spicer ‘ s “ the largest crowd ever to witness an inauguration…period !
” moment , no one will forget Trump bragging that a million people would show up to his first campaign rally in months and then the crowd filled less than a third of the 19,000 person capacity arena .
Trump has used the size of the crowds who once gathered at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ lock her up !
” and “ build the wall !
” These days , Hillary Clinton is not in prison and only some border fencing has been replaced , so it seems that crowd may have lost its enthusiasm .
Trump was not pleased with the turnout .
According to The New York Times : ‘ The president , who had been warned aboard Air Force One that the crowds at the arena were smaller than expected , was stunned , and he yelled at aides backstage while looking at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the upper bowl of the stadium , according to four people familiar with what took place .

His appearance was reportedly delayed due to his angry outburst .
‘ Mr .

Donald Trump has a very sensitive ego when it comes to most things, but especially when it comes to crowd size. Just like no one will ever forget former White House press secretary Sean Spicer‘s “the largest crowd ever to witness an inauguration…period!” moment, no one will forget Trump bragging that a million people would show up to his first campaign rally in months and then the crowd filled less than a third of the 19,000 person capacity arena.
Trump is "furious" about the "underwhelming" crowd at his rally in Tulsa. "This was a major failure," one outside adviser said. https://t.co/xzZCMDEVjT — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) June 21, 2020
Trump has used the size of the crowds who once gathered at his 2016 presidential campaign rallies to chant “lock her up!” and “build the wall!” These days, Hillary Clinton is not in prison and only some border fencing has been replaced, so it seems that crowd may have lost its enthusiasm.
Trump was not pleased with the turnout.
According to The New York Times:
‘The president, who had been warned aboard Air Force One that the crowds at the arena were smaller than expected, was stunned, and he yelled at aides backstage while looking at the endless rows of empty blue seats in the upper bowl of the stadium, according to four people familiar with what took place. Brad Parscale, the campaign manager who had put the event together, was not present.’
"Trump was furious about the unused outdoor stage and the comparatively thin crowd in the stadium, according to two people familiar with his reaction. News broadcasts carried video of the partially empty stadium."https://t.co/hf7u5r98sT https://t.co/mSNRQAOr5z — Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) June 21, 2020
After cancelling a speech planned for the overflow crowd because there was none, Vice President Mike Pence gave a speech at the rally, which was supposed to be followed immediately by Trump’s speech. His appearance was reportedly delayed due to his angry outburst.
‘Mr. Trump eventually entered the arena for a meandering performance in which he excoriated the “fake news” for reporting on health concerns before his event, used racist language to describe the coronavirus as the “Kung Flu” and spent more than 15 minutes explaining away an unflattering video clip of him gingerly descending a ramp after his commencement speech at West Point.’
When 6 of Trump's campaign rally organizers tested positive for COVID-19 he asked "why that information was exposed and expressed annoyance" that it was. He didn't care about his workers or his supporters health or safety. Just his news coverage.https://t.co/xP0VF2rmnn — John Oberlin (@OMGno2trump) June 21, 2020
Afterward, staffers report that Trump’s energy seemed to have been drained out of him and, instead of anger, he appeared dejected. The momentum he once had is clearly fading, and another presidential election is just four months away. Perhaps Trump is figuring out that the polls reporting Biden as ahead by as much as 14 points aren’t “fake news” after all.
‘When he landed back at the White House and walked off Marine One, his tie hung untied around his neck. He waved to reporters, with a defeated expression on his face, holding a crumpled red campaign hat in one hand.’
Donald Trump is reportedly furious over the low turnout at his much-hyped rally in Tulsa on Saturday while his campaign blasted claims that teens on TikTok and K-pop fans trolled the president by ordering tickets to the event without ever intending to actually be there. pic.twitter.com/TR8j9EZ9Nj — PA-Solutions Online.

The campaign anticipated filling the Bank of Oklahoma to the rafters with just under 20,000 people packed in tight all the way up to the rafters. Given the president was expecting between 100,000 and one million of his followers, the 6,200 number must have hit with a thud.
Apparently, the rally had been held to improve the president’s mood. One can imagine that the ride in Air Force One back to the White House would have been a sorry trip. Six of the Secret Service front team came down with COVID-19.
The man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office has always been a germaphobe, shaking hands must have held a special negative charge for him.
Instead, Trump dove into the deep end of the virus pool. It seems, he cannot swim. Will he take the liferaft the Speaker was handing him, or will he prefer to drown. It appeared that the only real ways to halt the deadly pandemic according to Pelosi were:
‘Testing, tracing, treatment & social distancing are the only tools we have to stop the spread of the coronavirus.’
That made about as much sense as not biting into a cupcake all year so that the individual always has one. Where has the president’s mind gone?
Of course, it makes more sense to test, because that gives the healthcare professionals a clearer idea of where the hotspots are located. In addition, reverse socializing allows the statisticians the opportunity to map out where the pandemic has been, where it is going, and how many individuals have been infected.
She continued, noting that:
‘The President’s efforts to slow down testing to hide the true extent of the virus means more Americans will lose their lives.’
According to Pelosi’s statement released on Sunday, after the president said that he had “ordered officials to slow coronavirus besting to keep case numbers low:”
‘Testing, tracing, treatment and social distancing are the only tools we have to stop the spread of the coronavirus, but President Trump orders his Administration to slow down the testing that saves lives.’
Trump suggested “slowing down. desperately needed testing” would slow down the COVID-19 pandemic:
‘The President’s efforts to slow down desperately needed testing to hide the true extent of the virus mean more Americans will lose their lives. ‘
There would not be fewer cases of coronavirus, the deaths would just not be attributed to the disease:
‘It’s Tuesday, members of the Trump Administration’s coronavirus task force will testify before the Energy & Commerce committee. The American people are owed answers about why President Trump wants less testing when experts say much more is needed.’
Pelosi hit the real problem on the head. Trump is “ethically unfit and intellectually unprepared to lead.” Then, the Speaker urged the Senate Leader Mitch McConnell to “stop obstructing the heroes act:”
‘The President is ethically unfit and intellectually unprepared to lead. Senator McConnell must stop obstructing The Heroes Act and the life-saving testing resources it provides.’
Twitter world went nuts after Pelosi spoke out, mocking Trump. Take a look at some of the responses we saw below:

Attorney General (AG) William Barr tried to fire the Geoff Berman the Attorney General Southern District of New York (SDNY). Of course, his stealth tactic was sneaking the news out on a Friday evening as big news was being made in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Donald Trump planned his 2020 campaign kick-off with anywhere between 100,000 to one million people risking their lives to see the president.
When fewer than 6,200 individuals showed, POTUS was embarrassed and slunk back to Washington, DC. The overwhelming stripes of empty blue seats in the auditorium were depressing to the Trump gang — at a minimum.
That left the news free to check on Trump’s former National Security Adviser (NSA) John Bolton. ABC’s Martha Raddatz got the scoop in the form of her live video (below). She wanted to know whether Trump planned to interfere in the SDNY investigation of a state-owned Turkish bank.
Bolton told ABC’s Martha Raddatz last week that Trump’s suggestion of getting involved in the investigation felt like “obstruction of justice to me:”
‘The December 2018 episode is detailed in Bolton’s forthcoming book entitled “The Room Where It Happened.”’
It appeared that the SDNY was investigating the bank, because it kept violating the US’s:
‘[S]anctions against Iran. Bolton asserted that Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had discussed the investigation several times, with the Turkish president wanting a settlement for Halkbank.’
Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was interested in convincing Berman to testify before Congress:
‘Rep. Hakeem Jeffries says he hopes former U.S. attorney for SDNY Geoffrey Berman will testify before Congress “because I think he has a lot to say about a continuing pattern of chaos, crisis and corruption that we have seen from the Trump administration.” https://t.co/n0lcA5Reyx pic.twitter.com/pb6R8pIz2q — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) June 21, 2020’

This interview was completed before Trump actually sent the SDNY Geoff Berman the letter that formally fired him on Saturday. As a result, all sorts of questions arose about what Trump had to do with Barr’s Justice of Department (DOJ).
At first, the department said Berman was going to be “stepping down” from his job, which was news to Berman. He said he had no plans to leave. He would not resign unless a Senate-approved replacement had been selected.
With Berman’s refusal to step down, Barr had few choices left to him. After all, he could not legally fire the attorney from SDNY. Instead, he asked Trump to formally fire Berman.
In addition, the SDNY had been looking into one of the president’s fixers, former Mayor of the New York City Rudy Giuliani. It had already prosecuted the original fixer, Michael Cohon and other friends of the president.
Cohon used up all of his chits when he turned state’s evidence before the House Intelligence Committee.
Bolton noted that POTUS turned to Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and said that he would “take care of this:”
‘And the president said to Erdoğan at one point, ‘Look, those prosecutors in New York are Obama people. Wait till I get my people in, and then we’ll take care of this. And I thought to myself — and I’m a Department of Justice alumnus myself. “I’ve never heard any president say anything like that. Ever.”‘
The former national security adviser pointed out that if a US bank had violated the sanctions against Iran, there was a big problem. There was no doubt about Bolton’s war hawk tendencies about Iran:
‘[W]e would have toasted them and quite properly so.”
Bolton added that Attorney General (AG) William Barr:
‘[s]aid Attorney General William Barr allowed for the appropriate prosecution of the bank after Turkey wouldn’t agree to a “reasonable settlement.’
Then, Raddatz asked him if he believed this act was “criminal” or “high crimes and misdemeanors” (the bar to reach impeachment). He responded:
‘I don’t think I know enough about all the circumstances, but I tell ya, it did feel like obstruction of justice to me.’
The BuzzFeed News had a letter that showed Barr letting Berman know he had asked the president to formally fire him, given the attorney would not step down until the Senate approved his replacement. Barr wrote:
”Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service. Because you have declared that you have no intention of resigning, I have asked the President to remove you as of today, and he has done so.’
The AG informed Berman that his assumption that Berman had to wait until the pending cases were appropriately settled was simply not true. He also alleged the AG would get involved should pending cases be flagged for the iI]nspector General. Barr continued:
‘This is obviously false. I fully expect that the office will continue to handle all cases in the normal course and pursuant to the Department’s applicable standards, policies, and guidance.’
After considering Barr’s for several hours, Berman released his statement indicating he would leave “effective immediately.” Barr decided not to install one of Trump’s golf-playing buddies. Instead, he said that Berman’s deputy, Audrey Strauss would temporarily fill his position. This was the tradition succession. Berman wrote:
‘I could leave the District in no better hands than Audrey’s.’
The White House decided it would nominate the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission Jay Clayton to fill the permanent position.
Saturday, the president spoke to reporters about Berman being fired. Trump responded that he was “not involved” in the matter of firing Berman:
‘That’s [Barr’s] department, not my department. That’s really up to him. I’m not involved.’
Bolton’s people released a clip of the interview on Saturday (below). The complete interview will air on ABC at 9 p.m. Sunday evening:

bipartisanreport--2020-06-21--Republicans Turn On Trump & Release Scathing Video Ad

At President Donald Trump ’ s Saturday night rally in Tulsa , Oklahoma , he told a laughably melodramatic story about his exit from the stage after the recent West Point military academy commencement ceremony that he participated in .
Observers noted that when Trump walked down the ramp off that stage , he seemed to be shuffling as if he was struggling for balance , but Trump , who is seemingly forever pathologically desperate to make himself look good , tried to depict himself as accomplishing something grand by having walked down the stage at all .
The anti-Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shared a video ( which had been made by Twitter user @ FindAClearTruth ) on Sunday that compared Trump ’ s pathetic spectacle to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden ’ s jog up the stage at the 2016 West Point commencement ceremony .
The ad begins with footage of Trump ’ s ridiculous explanation for his visible shuffling at the recent West Point ceremony .
Trump compared the ramp he walked down to an ice-skating rink and complained about his own supposedly slippery shoes .
When Biden spoke at a commencement ceremony @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he literally jogged up the ramp to the stage .
Trump ’ s inane attempt to try and make his West Point spectacle into something other than a troubling instance of the president ’ s behavior was not the only ridiculous point of his weekend rally in Oklahoma .
He also , for instance , used the racist term “ Kung Flu ” to refer to the Coronavirus and claimed that he ’ d asked White House officials to scale back testing in order to keep Coronavirus case numbers down .
A White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s claim about suppressing testing was a joke .
There was another problem at the rally — a lot fewer people showed up than the campaign was expecting .
They planned for so many attendees that they set up an outdoor stage where Trump would speak to the “ overflow ” crowd .
That stage was taken down and those plans were cancelled because the arena itself wasn ’ t even half full .

bipartisanreport--2020-06-23--Trump Rage Tweets At Fox News During Monday Night Hissy-Fit

When even Fox News starts noting that Trump is a failure , he ’ s had a very , very bad week .
After two Supreme Court decisions went badly for the president and then a tremendous embarrassment of a turnout at his first political rally in months , it ’ s hard to spin the story in anything positive for the Trump administration as Fox News normally tries to do .
On Monday , Trump sat apparently sulking over negative coverage of his border wall while nursing the wounds of his terrible rally , live-tweeting Fox News .
Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lately , even declaring them worse than his usual whipping boy , CNN .
The fact is , though , that Trump ’ s 2016 promises at his massive MAGA rallies to build a border wall and make Mexico pay for it haven ’ t been realized , the warnings Trump had that such promises were unrealistic were true , and very few of Trump ’ s hardcore fans are still interested in coming to rallies .
Fox News can ’ t spin that for him .
It ’ s too soon to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it appears Trump ’ s draw has shrunk significantly .
Without his ability to brag about big rally turnouts and “ a political movement ” that ’ s the biggest in history , he has no accomplishments .
Appointing Supreme Court judges isn ’ t much of a boast when those justices don ’ t even vote your way during historical votes .
Twitter had a big reaction to Trump ’ s Monday evening whine-fest .
Read some of their comments below :

When even Fox News starts noting that Trump is a failure, he’s had a very, very bad week. After two Supreme Court decisions went badly for the president and then a tremendous embarrassment of a turnout at his first political rally in months, it’s hard to spin the story in anything positive for the Trump administration as Fox News normally tries to do.
On Monday, Trump sat apparently sulking over negative coverage of his border wall while nursing the wounds of his terrible rally, live-tweeting Fox News. Trump has rarely been pleased by Fox coverage lately, even declaring them worse than his usual whipping boy, CNN. The fact is, though, that Trump’s 2016 promises at his massive MAGA rallies to build a border wall and make Mexico pay for it haven’t been realized, the warnings Trump had that such promises were unrealistic were true, and very few of Trump’s hardcore fans are still interested in coming to rallies. Fox News can’t spin that for him.
It’s too soon to tell from just one rally, but it appears Trump’s draw has shrunk significantly. Without his ability to brag about big rally turnouts and “a political movement” that’s the biggest in history, he has no accomplishments. Appointing Supreme Court judges isn’t much of a boast when those justices don’t even vote your way during historical votes.

President Trump and his allies consistently seem diametrically opposed to the prospect of Americans having their voices be heard. On Monday, Trump himself brought back up his unhinged, completely reality-disconnected conspiracy theories about the supposed potential of mail-in voting to turn into a hotbed for voter fraud. There’s no evidence that the expansion of mail-in voting would lead to some kind of massive fraud — in fact, it’s already used at a high rate across the country. In the last two federal elections, around one out of every four Americans cast a mail-in ballot, in fact.
Yet, Trump has proceeded with his conspiracy theories anyway. On Monday, he tweeted:
‘RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!’
RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2020
That claim has no relationship to reality — at all. The mail isn’t all of a sudden some kind of bastion of deviance just because Trump refuses to acknowledge the realities of election security in the United States.
This is false. Ballots aren’t just printed on computer paper. They are specific paper weights and types and generally are sold by a small handful of companies. The amount of information required – and the time and access – would require a conspiracy of insane magnitude. https://t.co/gHTM8QUrx7 — Jessica Huseman (@JessicaHuseman) June 22, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-06-22--Trump’s Makeup Has A Mishap In Public & Donald Is Embarrassed Again

To say that Donald Trump ’ s first political rally since COVID-19 shut down venues across the country went badly is an enormous understatement .
Although the president tweeted that nearly a million people had requested tickets to his event online , in an arena that only held 19,000 people , it turns out that he was about 984,000 people short of his estimates .
Trump was said to be furious before the event , appearing late to the event because he spent time fuming at aides backstage .
In photos following the pitifully attended event , Trump was shown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exiting Air Force One .
His tie , for the first time since his presidency began , was untied and disheveled .
His face was dejected and tired .
It was a markedly different Trump than the one the public is used to seeing .
Then , Twitter users spotted something odd in those photos , something that is sure to embarrass Trump as much as that pathetic rally in Tulsa , Oklahoma .
Trump ’ s orange makeup appeared to be melting down the collar of his white button-down shirt , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liquid foundation could identify the stain .
Trump ’ s stage makeup was as sad as the sad clown who exited Air Force One .
Trump ’ s tough-guy countenance doesn ’ t benefit much from the photos .
It ’ s like the emperor with no clothes , his stage persona is starting to crack and the real Trump , a sad and pitiful man who can not handle rejection , is showing through .
Twitter got quite a laugh out of the post-rally photos .

These anti-Trumper Republicans and former Republicans have just released this latest attack ad. Within a few hours, it went viral. They call it “Disheveled” and slapped a Jurassic Parkish logo and them song onto it:
‘Your campaign was so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.’
This 41-second ad started off with Donald Trump headed toward the Marine One helicopter. POTUS was on his way to Tulsa OK to kick-off his 2020 presidential race. We know how that turned out. Fewer than 6,200 zombied supporters stood in the rain waiting, threw down their masks, and trickled in to take a seat — any seat.
Then, the disaster had come and gone. Trump had come to his people and gone back to DC Disheveled. Over 1.2 million people have viewed this video by its first four hours out.
The Lincoln Project co-founders wrote in The New York Times that “the survival of our nation” is at risk:
‘Patriotism and the survival of our nation in the face of the crimes, corruption and corrosive nature of Donald Trump are a higher calling than mere politics. As Americans, we must stem the damage he and his followers are doing to the rule of law, the Constitution and the American character.’
The Lincoln Project “transcends partisanship,” and it is a battle for our country:
‘That’s why we are announcing the Lincoln Project, an effort to highlight our country’s story and values, and its people’s sacrifices and obligations. This effort transcends partisanship and is dedicated to nothing less than preservation of the principles that so many have fought for, on battlefields far from home and within their own communities.’
The co-founders continued in the New York Times:
‘This effort asks all Americans of all places, creeds and ways of life to join in the seminal task of our generation: restoring to this nation leadership and governance that respects the rule of law, recognizes the dignity of all people and defends the Constitution and American values at home and abroad.’
Tulsa was released before Trump’s dismal rally. Co-founder of The Lincoln Project, John Weaver said Tulsa was the “largest superspreader of division and hatred:”
‘Trump is the largest superspreader of division and hatred we’ve seen in generations.
‘Trump’s decision to hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the weekend of Juneteenth and in the location of the worst race massacre in American history tells voters all they need to know about him. In a time of multiple crises, Donald Trump has further divided and incited Americans rather than bring us together,” said Stuart Stevens, senior advisor to The Lincoln Project. “It’s a shame that this president has decided, once again, that stroking his own ego is more important than serving the nation.’
The Lincoln Project’s intent has been, as they wrote in the New York Times:
‘Over these next 11 months, our efforts will be dedicated to defeating President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box and to elect those patriots who will hold the line. We do not undertake this task lightly, nor from ideological preference. We have been, and remain, broadly conservative (or classically liberal) in our politics and outlooks. Our many policy differences with national Democrats remain, but our shared fidelity to the Constitution dictates a common effort. ‘…even if that means Democrat control of the Senate and expansion of the Democratic majority in the House…’
The next ad Crowds was about Trump’s lying:
‘President Donald J. Trump has been lying about the size of the crowds that he says have come out to cheer him on. Finally, this week, in cities across America, from coast to coast, and small towns in between, crowds even larger than he ever imagined possible have gathered — not to cheer Trump on — but in solidarity with one message: It’s time for him to go. ‘Donald Trump, the American people are speaking directly to you with a simple message: It’s time to start packing your bags.’
According to the New York Times, the Lincoln Project wrote that Trump was not up to his job with “neither the moral compass nor the temperament:”
‘Mr. Trump fails to meet the bar for this commitment. He has neither the moral compass nor the temperament to serve. His vision is limited to what immediately faces him — the problems and risks he chronically brings upon himself and for which others, from countless contractors and companies to the American people, ultimately bear the heaviest burden.’
They added that “national Republicans…imbued [them] with an ugliness, a meanness, and a willingness to attack:”
‘…Indeed, national Republicans have done far worse than simply march along to Mr. Trump’s beat. Their defense of him is imbued with an ugliness, a meanness and a willingness to attack and slander those who have shed blood for our country, who have dedicated their lives and careers to its defense and its security, and whose job is to preserve the nation’s status as a beacon of hope.’
They continued in the New York Times:
‘Congressional Republicans have embraced and copied Mr. Trump’s cruelty and defended and even adopted his corruption. Mr. Trump and his enablers have abandoned conservatism and longstanding Republican principles and replaced it with Trumpism, an empty faith led by a bogus prophet. In a recent survey, a majority of Republican voters reported that they consider Mr. Trump a better president than Lincoln.’
By cleverly using humor to drive home their points, the co-founders “believe there is no other choice:”
‘…Our peril far outstrips any past differences: It has arrived at our collective doorstep, and we believe there is no other choice. We sincerely hope, but are not optimistic, that some of those Republicans charged with sitting as jurors in a likely Senate impeachment trial will do likewise.’
One of the group’s most powerful ads Rich Mitch showed how the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY):
‘Mitch McConnell, made tens of millions of dollars since he was first elected to office. Meanwhile, Kentucky ranks 40th in job opportunity in the nation, 45th in education, and 43rd in health care.’
Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway said:
‘I’m a conservative lawyer of the type that McConnell has prided himself for putting on the bench. But precisely because I’m a conservative lawyer, I believe most fundamentally in the Constitution and the rule of law.’
Conway added that McConnell “fixed the impeachment trial:”
‘When he fixed the impeachment trial by blocking evidence of Trump’s high crimes and misdemeanors, McConnell violated and abased the solemn oaths he took as a United States Senator. Add in the fact that, as our ad shows, he’s managed to do much better for himself than for the people of Kentucky, and it becomes a no-brainer: McConnell has to go.’
These powerful leaders in the Lincoln Project described themselves as current or former Republicans:
‘We look to Lincoln as our guide and inspiration. He understood the necessity of not just saving the Union, but also of knitting the nation back together spiritually as well as politically. But those wounds can be bound up only once the threat has been defeated. So, too, will our country have to knit itself back together after the scourge of Trumpism has been overcome.’
In the Leaders Take Responsibility ad, the Lincoln Project explored:
‘[H]ow in the hours before Allied troops prepared to storm the shores of Normandy in France, General Dwight Eisenhower took a moment to put words to paper just in case their mission failed. As Supreme Allied Commander, Eisenhower understood that if D-Day landings failed, the responsibility would be on him. He understood and accepted that fact.’
The general from Kansas treated each soldier with respect and most often had a minute to stop by and visit. Yet, he was tasked with one of the greatest disasters of all:
‘The Normandy invasion led to Germany’s defeat less than a year later. Eisenhower in ‘command, both as commander of Allied forces and President of the United States was marked by courage, responsibility and dedication to America.’
Who are these people behind the spot-on ads? They are:
‘George T. Conway III is an attorney in New York. Steve Schmidt is a Republican political strategist who worked for President George W. Bush, Senator John McCain and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. John Weaver is a Republican strategist who worked for President George H.W. Bush, Senator John McCain and Gov. John Kasich. Rick Wilson is a Republican media consultant and author of “Everything Trump Touches Dies” and the forthcoming “Running Against the Devil: A Plot to Save America From Trump and Democrats From Themselves.”‘

President Donald Trump seems to have convinced himself that the U.S. postal system has suddenly become some kind of hotbed of conspiratorial plotting against American greatness — or something. This Monday, just a couple of days after his campaign’s big comeback re-election rally in Oklahoma was a dud and barely filled up one-third of the arena that the campaign booked, Trump ranted on and on about his conspiracy theories about mail-in ballots. As if mail-in ballots aren’t already used in large numbers around the country — and as if the postal system itself isn’t continually used for a large number of important tasks — Trump is feverishly trying to discredit the integrity of mail-in ballots. Maybe he worries that the more people who get to vote, the more likely it is that he’ll lose.
This Monday, shortly before a random all-caps outburst about supposed “PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT,” he tweeted:
‘If people can go out and protest, riot, break into stores, and create all sorts of havoc, they can also go out and VOTE — and keep our Election Honest. With millions of mail-in ballots being sent out, who knows where they are going, and to whom?’

bipartisanreport--2020-06-22--Mike Pence Caught Extensively Voting By Mail Via Empty House

Donald Trump has been on a rampage , warning his rabid followers on Twitter about the dangers of mail-in voting .
He ’ s made his position known to his fellow Republicans what his stance is on expanding mail-in voting during COVID-19 that he walked right into a Twitter fact-check .
As it turns out , mail-in voting is only dangerous when some people do it .
It ’ s perfectly fine when Trump and his wife vote by mail in Florida from Washington , D.C. during the 2018 elections , or when Jared and Ivanka Trump do the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ okay when Vice President Pence and his wife , Karen , vote by mail in the Indiana primary elections , as well .
Despite Trump ’ s claims about mail-in voting , the truth , which FEC Chairman Ellen Weintraub explained patiently in a statement , is that mail-in voting has been researched by numerous organizations , not just Trump ’ s accused “ fake media , ” and no widespread fraud has ever been found .
The truth is that Donald Trump sat for an interview with Fox & Friends when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said specifically that expanded voting hurts Republicans , and that they ’ d never win if more voters had access to ballots .
The truth is that in states like Georgia and Kentucky , votes are being suppressed at the demands of Republican lawmakers .
Voters are forced to wait in long lines with other voters while attempting to socially distance and some have waited until the wee hours of the morning to vote .
In some red states , polling places are being closed at a rate of as high as 95 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will of Democratic lawmakers .
There ’ s a reason why , and it isn ’ t hard to guess .

Despite Trump’s claims about mail-in voting, the truth, which FEC Chairman Ellen Weintraub explained patiently in a statement, is that mail-in voting has been researched by numerous organizations, not just Trump’s accused “fake media,” and no widespread fraud has ever been found.
‘There’s simply no basis for the conspiracy theory that voting by mail causes fraud. None. @CNN & @washingtonpost fact-checks show this. But many others have examined the issue and arrived at the same conclusion. Still others have provided some key context.’
Barr: Mail-in Ballots ‘Absolutely Opens the Floodgates to Fraud‘ https://t.co/vd4AD3EPb0 via @BreitbartNews. This will be the Election disaster of our time. Mail-In Ballots will lead to a RIGGED ELECTION! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2020
The truth is that Donald Trump sat for an interview with Fox & Friends when the discussion about mail-in voting during COVID-19 and said specifically that expanded voting hurts Republicans, and that they’d never win if more voters had access to ballots.
‘They had things — levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.’
FACT CHECK: Donald Trump regularly votes by mail, most recently in the 2020 Florida Primary. https://t.co/BXKmda4r1X So why is he whining about mail-in ballots? Because it makes it easier to vote, and the GOP slash'n'burn of Dem-leaning polling locations stops working. https://t.co/RaVOIH2A0E — Robert Hallock🌹 (@Thracks) June 22, 2020
The truth is that in states like Georgia and Kentucky, votes are being suppressed at the demands of Republican lawmakers. Voters are forced to wait in long lines with other voters while attempting to socially distance and some have waited until the wee hours of the morning to vote. In some red states, polling places are being closed at a rate of as high as 95 percent. None of this is the will of Democratic lawmakers. There’s a reason why, and it isn’t hard to guess.
Ivanka must have forged Donald Trump’s vote-by-mail ballot in the Florida election this year. — Gary Jakobs (@gjakobs) May 24, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-06-22--Meghan McCain Trolls Trump Hard Over Failed Tulsa Rally

It ’ s no secret that the Trump campaign ’ s big comeback rally this past Saturday night in Tulsa , Oklahoma , was somewhat of a dud .
The Trump campaign planned for so many attendees that they set up an outdoor stage where Trump himself would speak to the “ overflow ” crowd — but an overflow crowd never showed up .
In fact , only around 6,200 attendees showed up , which is around one-third of the capacity of the arena that the Trump campaign booked .
( The venue ’ s capacity was 19,000 . )
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Monday , the show ’ s conservative co-host Meghan McCain mocked Trump for the widely broadcast debacle .
She compared Trump ’ s rally ’ s turnout to the crowd for “ a mid-level 80s band , ” adding : ‘ I was like , inject this into my veins .
The Trump campaign has been braggadocios — Saying a million people were going to show up , and having 6,200 people show up .
To say it was far below expectations is an underestimation… There are optics in every campaign or presidency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Howard Dean screaming , President Bush with the ‘ Mission Accomplished ’ banner , and the image of Trump in front of a one-third full arena and getting off his plane with his tie undone and a MAGA hat looking depressed.
’ An image has been widely circulated that an Associated Press photographer nabbed of Trump disembarking from a presidential aircraft and heading back to the White House after the Tulsa rally .
Trump ’ s tie is undone , and he looks at least somewhat despondent .
McCain called the picture “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the American public , ” adding : ‘ Does he look confident he ’ s getting re-elected ?
No .
He looks like a depressed person that realized maybe , just maybe the writing is on the wall right now , and this is the image that ’ s going to haunt the Trump campaign .
They can spin this any way they want .
Kayleigh McEnany was on Fox & Friends trying to spin it , and even Fox & Friends was not having it.
’ It ’ s true — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secretary Kayleigh McEnany tried to convince Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy that Trump was actually in a great mood after the Tulsa rally , at which he spoke to a huge swath of empty seats alongside his supporters who did bother showing up .
Doocy seemed to seriously doubt McEnany ’ s dismissal of the rally turnout problem and insistence that Trump was actually enthused by the proceedings .

1) Trump gazed in "horror" at the sea of empty seats at his rally, and raged at aides over it, a new report says. His aides conceded to one another that he had failed to bend reality to his will.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-23--New Trump Vs Biden Electoral College Projections Show Historic Blowout

President Donald Trump may be well on his way to a crushing defeat this November .
As of Tuesday morning , according to RealClearPolitics , presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads Trump by an average of a staggering 9.8 percent in national polls , and Biden also leads in polls of a large number of crucial swing states , including many that Trump won in 2016 .
New electoral college projections shared by CNN ’ s Harry Enten outline how it ’ s possible that Biden will end up with over 400 electoral votes in the final count after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reiterates that the results definitely aren ’ t set in stone , and circumstances could change — but Democrats are doing well enough that a Biden win of over 400 electoral votes is possible .
Enten outlines the 400+ electoral vote scenario by starting with an assumption that Biden wins all of the states that Hillary Clinton did in 2016 .
Added on to that total , recent polls show Biden leading in crucial swing states around the country , including Arizona , Florida , Georgia , Michigan , North Carolina , Ohio @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all of these states onto Biden ’ s total would leave him with “ just south of 370 electoral votes , ” Enten explains .
It only takes a couple more states to put Biden over the 400 electoral vote mark — in both Iowa and Texas , “ Biden was down just a point in two high quality polls released in June , ” and if those states get tacked onto his total , Biden ends up with over 400 electoral votes .
Again — this scenario is definitely not set in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If it plays out , it would be the largest win for a Democratic presidential nominee since Lyndon Johnson won with a huge landslide victory in 1964 .
‘ Former Vice President Joe Biden is well ahead in the national polls right now .
More importantly , he holds the advantage in the pivotal swing states .
Chances are Biden will still be ahead come November and that he ’ ll win a comfortable , not blowout win .
Still , it ’ s worth emphasizing that with more than four months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wide range of results that are within the margin of error .
Biden could win the largest landslide for a Democrat since Lyndon Johnson in 1964 — or he could lose to President Donald Trump .
For Biden to score a huge win , very little needs to change.
’ Trump , for his part , has consistently tried to discredit the data that reveals his increasingly dismal political prospects .
After results from a recent Fox News poll revealed Trump losing to Biden by a full 12 percent nationally , Trump promptly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phony ” polling from the network .
Separately , his campaign sent a letter to CNN demanding an apology and retraction after they shared a separate recent poll that revealed Trump losing by double-digits on the national level .
Biden has consistently been very direct with his campaigning .
For example , he recently spoke out against the Trump administration ’ s decision to suspend green cards amidst the Coronavirus-induced economic uncertainty .
Based on poll numbers , voters are clearly listening .

At his dud of a campaign rally this past Saturday night in Tulsa, Oklahoma, President Donald Trump claimed to the crowd that he had asked his administration’s officials to slow down Coronavirus testing in order to keep case numbers down, although officials around the White House eventually claimed that Trump was supposedly joking. Separately, Trump has frequently repeated that if Coronavirus testing went down, so would confirmed cases — as if he’s trying to convince Americans that they should sweep the pandemic under the rug, or something. The anti-Trump Republicans behind The Lincoln Project released a new ad this week hammering Trump for his rally claim about slowing down testing, pointing out that there are lives at stake.
The narrator in the new Lincoln Project ad states:
‘The most deceptive, lying president n history finally told the truth. Somehow, it was more shocking than all his deceptions.’
Then, the ad cuts away to a clip of the president’s remarks. In the clip, he says:
‘When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people. You’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people, “Slow the testing down, please!”‘
To be clear: testing is imperative for finding where the Coronavirus is and where it’s spreading, and this knowledge is immensely important for effectively containing the spread of the virus. If testing was dialed back, health authorities would be left essentially in the dark when it came to their efforts to control the disease, and Americans would still be dying from it, because it’s not as though turning off the metaphorical lights will make the virus go away.
In the new Lincoln Project ad, the narrator continues:
‘Slow the testing down? Slow down our chance to save tens of thousands of lives. Slow down our understanding of where COVID is and how it’s spreading. Slow down the steps to reopen the economy. Every single expert told him to test more and test faster, and now we know his response… That’s why this November, more than ever, the choice is clear: it’s America or Trump.’

bipartisanreport--2020-06-23--Trump Gets Jealous Of Fauci & Erupts During Mid-Morning Freakout

President Donald Trump continues to congratulate himself for a supposed job well done in responding to the Coronavirus , although over 120,000 Americans have died and in some areas around the country — like Arizona , Texas , and Florida — cases have been spiking significantly recently .
This Tuesday morning , Trump dubiously claimed that the steps that he did take in response to the virus “ saved millions of lives , ” and he complained that the “ fake news ” isn ’ t giving him enough of the credit that he thinks he deserves .
The idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do with any lives that were saved amidst the Coronavirus pandemic .
Does he think that whiny tweets save lives or something ?
‘ We did a great job on CoronaVirus , including the very early ban on China , Ventilator production , and Testing , which is by far the most , and best , in the World .
We saved millions of U.S .
lives.
!
Yet the Fake News refuses to acknowledge this in a positive way .
But they do give Dr. Anthony Fauci , who is with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high 72 % Approval Rating .
So , if he is in charge along with V.P .
etc.
, and with us doing all of these really good things , why doesn ’ t the Lamestream Media treat us as they should ?
Answer : Because they are Fake News !
’ It ’ s astounding that Trump is so pathologically self-obsessed that he ’ s made up this scenario in which he helped save “ millions of lives ” and the dastardly fake news refuses to acknowledge his supposedly valiant accomplishments .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this Twitter rant , is essentially entirely disconnected from reality .
For example , Trump has widely touted his restrictions on travel from China , where the virus first emerged — but by the time of those restrictions , some airlines had already scaled back flights of their own accord , and more acutely : the virus was already in the United States .
A travel ban obviously did nothing to stop the spread of the already present virus within the United States itself .

This Tuesday morning, Trump dubiously claimed that the steps that he did take in response to the virus “saved millions of lives,” and he complained that the “fake news” isn’t giving him enough of the credit that he thinks he deserves. The idea is ridiculous that Trump personally had anything to do with any lives that were saved amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. Does he think that whiny tweets save lives or something?

400k+ flew from China before the US became the 39th country to impose travel restrictions. 40k+ came after. Since CV was already here and the fact that the US now leads in cases and is 3rd in deaths makes Trump’s claim of early decisive action meaningless. https://t.co/nQj5Bq3thg — Rick Tyler-Still Right (@rickwtyler) April 7, 2020
