Michael Moore Trashes Joe Biden: He Lacks ‘Necessary Enthusiasm’ To Beat President Trump

Posted on May 25, 2020 by LifeZette

Radically leftwing filmmaker Michael Moore just spoke out to blast Joe Biden, saying that he does not have what it takes to beat President Donald Trump.

“Biden does not generate the necessary enthusiasm that it’s going to take to get people out,” Moore told Vanity Fair. “The Democrats are cynically counting on everyone’s desire to remove Trump.”

“This has been a crazy year, a crazy election year, a crazy year on so many levels,” Moore continued. “Anything you would have predicted back in December or January is out the window. The year we thought we were going to have on any level is out the window. So if it’s all out the window, what else is out the window?”

“Nothing is lined up right this year. Just because he’s got the most delegates and everybody’s conceded, it doesn’t mean he’s going to be the nominee,” he added of Biden. “They’re not even going to have a real convention. Anything can happen.”

Moore, who was a supporter of Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), said the Democratic Party “ditched” Biden earlier this year when he “was losing everything so badly.”

“The Democratic establishment ditched Biden back in January when he was losing everything so badly. What’d they do? They changed the debate rules to let Bloomberg in. They were so desperate,” Moore explained. “They were ready to dump Biden like a hot potato, and they will do it again if they need to.”

This comes after Moore warned Democrats that Trump might win again, saying that the president is “going to do well” in November because he hasn’t lost “any of his support.”

“None of us should take him for granted,” Moore told Bill Maher, referring to the president. “We need to behave as if he will win a second term,” he added. “Anybody who right now says, ‘Oh no,’ you’re really part of the problem because you’re not taking this seriously. He [Trump] knows exactly what he’s doing. He was just in Michigan this week. It’s the third time he’s been in Michigan in three weeks. He believes he’s going to somehow pull this off.”

Here’s hoping that Moore is right, and that Trump trounces Biden come November!

Bill Maher Regrets Trump Impeachment: It ‘Turned Out To Be A Horrible Thing’

Posted on May 24, 2020 by LifeZette

Liberal talk show host Bill Maher surprised everyone on Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher” when he admitted he now regrets the impeachment of President Donald Trump, saying that it “turned out to be a horrible thing.”

While talking to leftwing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, Maher pointed to Trump’s recent firings of various inspectors general, complaining that they got very little media attention amidst COVID-19. He believes that much of this lack of coverage can be traced back to Trump’s impeachment.

“Just the impeachment, you know, I mean, if I could do it over again I wouldn’t because it just emboldened him,” Maher said, according to Fox News. “Now he can conduct this war on accountability and nobody even— it barely made the papers. I bet you people are watching this and going, ‘Wow, I’ve never heard that because the news is all COVID.'”

Moore agreed with him, going so far as to say the removal of the government watchdogs makes Trump “very dangerous.” This comes one month after Maher called for Trump to be impeached for “favoring” states that “are nice to him” during the coronavirus pandemic, according to The Blaze.

“I find one of the most galling parts about this is that the president is favoring certain states over the others. Governors who are ‘nice’ to him, as he calls it, get a lot of attention and all of the equipment they want,” Maher told Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). “To me, this is even more of an impeachable offense than what he did with Ukraine or Russia.”

Maher has long been vocal about his support for impeaching Trump, voicing his support for it in January of 2019. “I don’t know how we get out of this except by getting him out of office,” Maher said. “I wasn’t necessarily for impeachment until recently, but I think you have to go ahead and do it.”

Democrats were so focused on their effort to impeach Trump earlier this year that they almost completely ignored COVID-19 when the virus was starting to make its way to the U.S. Had Democrats not been distracting everyone with their impeachment nonsense, there’s no telling where we’d be with coronavirus today.

Poll Gives Trump Best Economic Rating in Almost Twenty Years

Posted on January 27, 2020 by LifeZette

By David Kamioner | January 27, 2020

While the president takes a hit on some issues in a Sunday Fox News poll, the most important issue finds him in fine shape.

55% give him positive marks on the economy, easily the most vital issue to voters right now. That’s the best poll number on the economy since 1991. The poll breaks down mostly on partisan lines. His job approval remains at 45%.

However the president is underwater, sometimes just barely, on guns, immigration, foreign policy, health care, government spending, race relations, and the environment. Again, very partisan breakdowns.

The worst mark is on the bellwether question of how things are going in the country, 56% are dissatisfied. That number can bite hard.

Now this is no death knell for the president. Numbers come and go and he is in overall good shape. But those who think a Trump landslide is guaranteed better think again.

Could he get one in the Electoral College? It’s possible. But the variables that have to be in place before that can be said with any degree of credibility are at least several months away.

But the same people who filled social media with idiotic and presumptuous “Red Tsunami” memes, when every legit sign pointed to the GOP losing the House, are now talking Trump walkover.

You say, but the polls were all wrong in November 2016 and thus they’re wrong now. Yup, the partisan polls were wrong. Hence my “legit” qualification above. There were honest brokers even in 2016 who said Trump had a real shot. Allan Lichtman was one. Helmut Norpoth another. Hell, even Michael Moore did. The South African polling firm Brandseye got it right after nailing Brexit earlier in the year.

In 2017 Lichtman also predicted eventual impeachment.

He’s not made a call for November yet. But given his rules of the road and methodology it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he predicted reelection. But landslide? Not likely.

Confirmation bias, basing your analysis on what you want-not on what the facts say, is a malady common to partisans of all stripes. We see it every day on the Democrat side of the Senate impeachment trial. It weakens and brings arrogant lethargy. It depresses vote totals by complacency.

Conservatives and Republicans should be smarter than that and work like we’re two points behind right up until election day. Or, we are at risk of another “Red Tsunami” scenario.
