thefederalist.com/2019/06/13/trump-is-favored-to-be-re-elected-media-claims-notwithstanding/Media Claims Notwithstanding, Trump Is Favored To Be Re-Elected Nothing has turned out the way the Resistance had hoped. Far from their fever dreams of global chaos and economic catastrophe, the Trump agenda is turning out to be surprisingly successful. Mollie Hemingway By Mollie Hemingway JUNE 13, 2019 At least six Democratic candidates would defeat President Trump if the election were held today and he’s struggling even in Texas, a pollster claims. Sen. Cory Booker, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and former vice president Joe Biden would trounce Trump by anywhere from five to 13 percentage points nationwide, the poll says. Another poll said Biden and Sanders had 12-point leads over Trump in Michigan. Media outlets such as Axios claim that Trump has a “re-election crisis“: Everywhere he looks, President Trump can see flashing warnings that his re-election is in serious peril, a week ahead of his official campaign launch next Tuesday in Orlando. … Trump is betting polls will swing when it’s a choice between him and someone he can lampoon as a dumb socialist. But, but, but: Even the self-avowed socialists are beating him — Bernie Sanders is up 12 in Michigan. Nearly a year and a half before the 2020 election, no one knows what will happen. Perhaps Axios’ Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen and their fellow tut-tutting DC journalists are correct that Sanders really could defeat Trump in a historic nine-point landslide win. In a more reasonable and less histrionic world than the one DC journalists inhabit, however, the truth is that Trump is a favorite to be re-elected. The polls are what the polls are, as they were in 2015 and 2016, when they showed Trump having little to no chance of winning the presidency. (Spoiler alert: he won.) One major difference from that era is a poll of Wall Street insiders showing that more than 70 percent expect Trump to win re-election. A Goldman Sachs analysis also sees Trump’s re-election as more likely than not. These projections absolutely could be wrong, but firms such as Goldman Sachs are deeply concerned about making money for the corporation and its clients by making accurate predictions about likely future events. One doubts that journalists crowing about Trump’s peril would take the under on a 9-point spread for Sanders over Trump, if they were betting men. The real-world situation of Trump being a favorite is not complicated. Approval records notwithstanding, the country has a strong economy, and is in an era of peace and prosperity. Incumbents tend not to be thrown out of office in such situations. So what explains the rash of stories about Trump’s certain doom in 2020? There’s a method behind the false narrative, and one relates to the fact that the media and other members of the Resistance are invested in Trump’s destruction. In the years since Trump did the unthinkable and won, they’ve been monomaniacally focused on overturning the election or otherwise making sure, in the words of one Democratic politician, it’s a one-term aberration. For Democrats, the media, and NeverTrump Republicans, the current situation is much worse than they anticipated when their Resistance effort began. One shared goal was to drive a wedge in the Republican Party with elected officials splitting from the president. While the Resistance counts some top Republicans in its ranks, the ones that have tested their anti-Trump message publicly with voters instead of just privately with reporters and colleagues — such as Sens. Jeff Flake and Bob Corker — have been run out of politics. The Resistance also helped perpetuate the delusional Russia collusion conspiracy theory that gripped Washington and her institutions for the better part of two years. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe served a powerful function. For reasons he hasn’t explained, he declined to notify the American public that there was no Russia collusion until months after the 2018 election, even though investigators chatted in May 2017 with their colleagues about the lack of substance to the charge. As a result of the ensuing hysteria and false reporting of supposed “bombshells,” many took the claims seriously, ginning up suspicion and hostility against Trump that helped propel Democrats’ takeover of the House of Representatives. But it wasn’t enough to take the Senate. That meant that the Senate confirmed the formidable and capable William Barr as attorney general — his second time in the position following his first stint in the George H.W. Bush administration. Mueller was unable to deliver the goods in his Russia probe, ending with not a single indictment of any American or treasonous collusion with Russia. Barr, meanwhile, says he seeks to restore the credibility of the FBI and Department of Justice by getting answers about the unprecedented probe of the Trump campaign by intelligence officials. The efforts against Trump affiliates included national security letters, wiretaps, and the use of overseas intelligence assets. The New York Times reported yesterday that CIA officials are nervous about being asked questions about their role against the Trump campaign. After years of using the false allegation that Trump was a traitor to undermine him and his administration, the media, Democratic operatives, bureaucratic resisters, and NeverTrump holdouts are now on the defensive. The Resistance was certain that Trump would be subject to a party primary, and some worked very hard to find a legitimate candidate to primary him. A primary opponent would allow NeverTrump Republicans months or even a year of time to work with media allies in opposing Trump. Instead of a legitimate candidate, they have found Bill Weld, a former Massachusetts governor and the 2016 Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee. Everyone knows that his candidacy is not serious, and certainly not a serious threat. Nothing has turned out the way the Resistance had hoped. Far from their fever dreams of global chaos and economic catastrophe, the Trump agenda is turning out to be surprisingly successful, whether in economic invigoration or repositioning with China. The Republican Party is, despite all the best efforts of its fervent opponents, united. The media do not want to report these fundamental issues, choosing instead to claim, as per usual, that Trump is in “crisis.” Just because Trump is a favorite to win re-election does not mean it is automatic. Much matters on who the Democrats nominate. But there, too, they face a tough situation. They need to tap into party excitement to win, but the excitement is on the far left of the party. The current front-runner Biden may be too much like 1996 Bob Dole or 2012 Mitt Romney, neither of whom had the energy needed to unseat vulnerable incumbents. The theory in 2012 was that dislike of Barack Obama would be sufficient for Romney to win. It was not. Alternately, Democrats could go the riskier route and nominate someone who taps into the energy of the leftist base, such as Warren or Sanders. But then there’s a question of whether Trump would throttle them and their unpopular positions in a general election match-up. Rather than assess the race honestly, including that Trump is overseeing a healthy domestic and global situation and is currently a favorite to win re-election, the media and other Resistance members need to keep up the illusion that Trump is an aberration and in dire trouble, a narrative they would like to run through the fall of next year in the hope that 2020 will reward their efforts to influence voters in a way 2016 did not.

Got to love hypocrisy: www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/14/julian-castro-calls-for-kellyannes-removal-despite-violating-the-hatch-act-himself/Democrat presidential candidate Julián Castro is calling for Kellyanne Conway’s removal from federal service for supposedly violating the Hatch Act, despite the fact that the Office of Special Counsel found him in violation of the same thing in 2016. ....... At the time, Castro sat down for an interview with Katie Couric and explicitly expressed support for former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. “Now, taking off my HUD hat for a second and just speaking individually, it is very clear that Hillary Clinton is the most experienced, thoughtful, and prepared candidate for president that we have this year,” Castro told Couric. OSC ultimately found him in violation of the Hatch Act. Nevertheless, Castro believes that the situations are incomparable. “When you were HUD Secretary, the same agency accused you of the same thing. President Obama gave you a pass. Should President Trump give Kellyanne Conway a pass?” Fox News’s Bret Baier asked. Castro’s short answer? No. He said the situation is different because he took immediate steps to change his ways. “Instead of saying, ‘Look, I’m going to take these efforts to make sure that doesn’t happen again,’ she said, ‘To hell with that, I’m going to keep doing it.’ They said she had repeatedly done that. That’s the difference,” Castro explained. “The true test of a leader is what do you do when you make that mistake,” he continued. “Are you big enough to own up to it and make sure you correct what you do in the future? Or do you basically do what [Conway] did, which is to say ‘no, I’m bigger than that.'” “She did the wrong thing,” Castro added. “And I support the Office of Special Counsel’s determination that because she repeatedly violated it even though she was told it was a violation, she should be removed from office.”

www.clickorlando.com/news/politics/president-trump-supporters-line-up-37-hours-before-orlando-rallyPresident Trump supporters line up 40 hours before Orlando rally Trump to announce re-election bid at Amway Center .......... More than 40 hours before President Donald Trump will announce his re-election bid in Orlando, supporters started lining up outside the Amway Center. Eight Trump supporters started camping out Monday morning, with the first one showing up at 2:30 a.m. The rally is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Gary Beck, a Trump supporter from Panama City, was the first in line. "There's going to be a bunch of people, and it's going to be pretty intense," Beck said. "The electricity is going to be high. It's time for America to get back on its feet and be made better than it's ever been before." Trump tweeted Monday that the rally "looks to be setting records," with more than 100,000 ticket requests. The Amway Center seats 20,000. "We are building large movie screens outside to take care of everybody," Trump tweeted. The visit marks Trump's first campaign event in Orlando since he ended his 2016 presidential campaign with a "Thank You Tour" stop at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. Trump's last visit to the Orlando area was in October 2018 when he spoke at the International Association of Chiefs of Police at the Orange County Convention Center. Fierce fight Trump's early strength in Florida on the night of the 2016 election was the first sign he was about to score an upset victory. In an otherwise bleak 2018 for Republicans, the state was again a bright spot. But as another campaign heats up, Democrats aren't ceding the Sunshine State. Democratic candidates have already visited to tap donors and connect with voters and will descend on Miami later this month for their first debates. And Trump will return on Tuesday for his latest re-election announcement at a rally in Orlando.

www.dailywire.com/news/48516/biden-suggests-starting-physical-revolution-deal-ryan-saavedraBiden Suggests Starting ‘Physical Revolution’ To Deal With Republicans ...... Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to suggest using violence against Republicans on Monday in response to a question about how he as president would deal with opposition to his agenda in the Senate from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Biden, currently the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, made the remarks at the Moral Action Congress of the Poor People's Campaign in Washington, D.C. MSNBC's Joy Reid asked Biden: "How would you get past either a majority Republican Senate in which Mitch McConnell was determined to kill all of these ideas or even a Mitch McConnell in the minority who repeated the consistent filibustering when you were vice president and anything that came from the Obama-Biden administration Mitch McConnell considered dead on arrival?" "Joy, I know you're one of the ones who thinks it's naive to think we have to work together," Biden responded. "The fact of the matter is if we can't get a consensus, nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive." "There are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight," Biden continued, later adding: "Let’s start a real physical revolution if you’re talking about it."

Looking at the polls, who here thinks it’s this playbook again? www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-23/new-podesta-email-exposes-dem-playbook-rigging-polls-through-oversamplesNew Podesta Email Exposes Playbook For Rigging Polls Through "Oversamples" ...... Now, for all of you out there who still aren't convinced that the polls are "adjusted", we present to you the following Podesta email, leaked earlier today, that conveniently spells out, in detail, exactly how to "manufacture" the desired data. The email starts out with a request for recommendations on "oversamples for polling" in order to "maximize what we get out of our media polling." wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/26551I also want to get your Atlas folks to recommend oversamples for our polling before we start in February. By market, regions, etc. I want to get this all compiled into one set of recommendations so we can maximize what we get out of our media polling. The email even includes a handy, 37-page guide with the following poll-rigging recommendations. In Arizona, over sampling of Hispanics and Native Americans is highly recommended: Research, microtargeting & polling projects - Over-sample Hispanics - Use Spanish language interviewing. (Monolingual Spanish-speaking voters are among the lowest turnout Democratic targets) - Over-sample the Native American population For Florida, the report recommends "consistently monitoring" samples to makes sure they're "not too old" and "has enough African American and Hispanic voters." Meanwhile, "independent" voters in Tampa and Orlando are apparently more dem friendly so the report suggests filling up independent quotas in those cities first. - Consistently monitor the sample to ensure it is not too old, and that it has enough African American and Hispanic voters to reflect the state. - On Independents: Tampa and Orlando are better persuasion targets than north or south Florida (check your polls before concluding this). If there are budget questions or oversamples, make sure that Tampa and Orlando are included first. Meanwhile, it's suggested that national polls over sample "key districts / regions" and "ethnic" groups "as needed." - General election benchmark, 800 sample, with potential over samples in key districts/regions - Benchmark polling in targeted races, with ethnic over samples as needed - Targeting tracking polls in key races, with ethnic over samples as needed

President Trump: They tried to erase your vote, erase evidence of the greatest campaign and the greatest election probably in the history of our country. And they wanted to deny you the future that you demanded. And the future that America deserved and now America is getting. Our radical Democrat opponents are driven by hatred, prejudice and rage. They want to destroy you and they want to destroy our country as we know it. Not acceptable. It’s not going to happen.

Donald Trump Jr.: I don’t know about you but when Joe Biden is putting about 7 people in an audience I’m saying, “I think they may be a little wrong with the polling. But what the hell do I know?… I’ll tell you what I know. I know you guys are not sick of winning yet… I watch the Democrats and I ask who the hell are they fighting for? Cause it ain’t Americans!… Joe Biden, he gets up on the stump. Usually to about 4 people. And says, “Government has failed you.” Usually as he’s groping someone.

Continued:
7:57 PM: Pence takes the stage to introduce Trump. He says he is here for one reason: “America needs four more years of President Donald Trump.” He says, “It’s on, everybody. Time for round two.”
8:15 PM: Trump says there were 120,000 requests to get in for the re-launch event. He thanks the Pences and Melania. He says he’s thrilled to back in his second home–“the great state of Florida.” Trump says his 2016 campaign turned out to be “a great political movement because of you.” He says it is a movement made up of hard-working patriots who believe America must “care for its citizens first.”
8:17 PM: Trump says the country is “souring to new heights” and the “economy is the envy of the world”–perhaps the greatest in the country’s history. Trump says the future has never looked “brighter and sharper”… “as long as you keep the team in place.” He says the American dream is stronger than ever before. Trump says 2016 “was a defining moment in American history.” He points to the media and says: “Ask them right there.” Crowd boos and chants “CNN sucks!
8:22 PM: Trump claims he is draining the swamp right now after talking about taking on an establishment system that wanted to take away “your voice and your vote” and “your dignity and your destiny.” He says the swamp us “fighting back viciously and violently.” Trump says his opponents want a “do-over” and he “won” with the Mueller Report. He says “no president should ever have to go through this again.” He blasts the “great hoax” and says “our patriotic movement has been under assault from the very first day.” He says he has succeeded under “circumstances no president has had to deal with before.”
8:29 PM: 2020 candidate Inslee implies Trump not a “patriot.”
8:31 PM:Trump still going on about the “witch hunt.” He claims they “are going after you” to “try to erase your vote” and “erase your legacy” re: “the greatest election probably in the history of the country.” He says they “wanted to deny you the future you demanded” and deserve.
8:32 PM: Trump rips Democrats for their “hatred,” “prejudice,” and “rage” and says they want to “destroy you” and “destroy our country as we know it. Not acceptable and it’s not going to happen.” Trump also mocks Obama (without mentioning McConnell), thanking him for not appointing judges so he could appoint conservative judges.
8:33 PM: Trump warns Democrats want to pack the courts and radicalize judges. He says look what Democrats did to Kavanaugh… Trump says they didn’t want to win but wanted to “destroy him with false and malicious accusations.” Trump asks the crowd to imagine what the “angry, left-wing mob” would do if they were in charge of the country in 2020. He says they would “shut down your free speech,” “use the power of the law to punish their opponents,” which Trump says they are trying to do. He says they will “strip Americans of their Constitutional rights” while flooding the country with illegals with hopes that they will expand their political base. Crowd chants: “Build The Wall.”
8:35 PM: Trump says Democrats don’t want the wall because he is president and ask the crowd to imagine what the caravans would look like had some barriers not been in place. Trump says “Democrats want to splinter us into factions and tribes…. They want us divided.” Trump says “this election is not merely a verdict” on the amazing progress he has made but on the “un-American conduct” of those who wanted “undermine you.” He says 2020 is a verdict on whether we want to live in a country where people who lose elections want to spend two years shredding the constitution and ripping the country apart because they refuse to concede.
8:38 PM: Trump rips Democrats for giving a “free pass” to Hillary Clinton while the crowd chants “lock her up.” Trump says if he deleted even a “love note” to Melania, he would get the electric chair. He asks voters to show up to “shut down this rigged system.” He predicts another “earthquake” to “finish the job” as the crowd chants “four more years.”
8:45 PM: Trump rips the Washington insiders who have been “rigging the system so your losses will be their gains” while blasting the bipartisan political establishment for the flat wages and the loss of manufacturing jobs in addition to the “avalanche of job-killing regulations” and “one bad trade deal after another.” He rips Clinton for calling his supporters “deplorables” and says “irredemables” was probably worse.
8:47 PM: Trump says China took Obama and Biden for “suckers” to take advantage of the US on trade.
8:54 PM: Trump tells the audience he is standing before them to officially launch his re-election campaign. “I will never ever let you down,” Trump says. “I won’t.” He says he is profoundly thankful to his family.
8:57 PM: Trump claims he has never forgotten who sent him to the White House. Says he only thinks about how the American people can “win, win, win today” when he sits as his desk. He says there have been “few presidents that have been able to do what we have been able to do for you. It is a great, great feeling. I love it.” He says he is “breaking the most sacred rule in Washington politics”–“keeping our promises to the American people.” He says his only special interest is the voters.
9:00 PM: Trump now introduces Sarah Huckabee Sanders and predicts she will run for governor. She says she has been in the front row of history to see him make “drastic changes” to make America great. She says “he’s fighting for all of the people in this room” and “will have an incredible six more years to make our country stronger than it has ever been.”
Trump says the Democrats are becoming “more radical,” dangerous and more unhinged than at any point in history.
9:10 PM: Trump says tariffs are working and America has added 16,000 manufacturing jobs a month since he took office while the country was losing thousands of manufacturing job a month before that. Referring to Obama’s “magic wand” comments, Trump says he’ll tell “Sleepy Joe” Biden that he found the “magic wand” to bring back manufacturing jobs. He now brags about getting “right to try” legislation passed.
9:15 PM: Trump says the Democrats’ embrace of open borders and illegal immigration is “morally reprehensible and it’s the greatest betrayl of the American middle class and, frankly, American life our country has as a whole…nobody has seen anything like it.”
He says illegal immigration cuts off the path of the most vulnerable Americans and schoolchildren are being threatened by illegal MS-13 gangsters. He says mass illegal migration reduces living standards and strains public resources. Trump says if Democrats had to send their children to those overcrowded schools, they would not “tolerate it for one minute.” He says Democrats can get together with Republicans to solve the problem quickly in one meeting. He now blasts Democrats in California for giving health care to illegals instead of helping homeless citizens. He says Democrats support sanctuary cities and thanks Gov. DeSantis for ending the “horrible disaster” in Florida.
9:21 PM: Trump rips Sanders for not doing too well lately and criticizes Democrats running for president for embracing his Medicare for All plan.
Trump says: “America will never be a socialist country. Ever. Republicans do not believe in socialism. We believe in freedom.”
9:25 PM: Big cheers for Trump’s pro-life message: Trump says Republicans believe that “every life is a sacred gift from God” after blasting Democrats for “ripping babies straight from the mother’s womb.” He says some Democrats, especially in Virginia, back “execution after birth.”
9:35 PM: Trump wraps up his rally a week before Democrats start their debate season. He’ll be on Telemundo tomorrow.

Joe Biden wants credit for President Trump’s economy: www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/18/joe-biden-demands-credit-trump-economy-2020-kickoff-rally/amp/Former Vice President Joe Biden demanded credit for the booming economy under President Donald Trump on Tuesday night during the president’s campaign kickoff rally. “Let’s be clear: President Trump inherited a growing economy from the Obama-Biden administration,” Joe Biden wrote on Twitter. “And now, he’s in the process of squandering it.” (Biden’s message on Twitter was likely composed by staff as Biden was attending a New York City fundraiser with Wall Street donors at the time of Trump’s rally) During the rally, Trump boasted of the economic boom under his presidency. “Our economy is the envy of the world and perhaps the greatest economy we’ve had in the history of our country,” he wrote, touting the success of his deregulatory agenda and tax cuts. “The American dream is back, it’s bigger, better, stronger than ever before.” Trump noted that 16,000 manufacturing jobs a month were coming back to the United States. He ridiculed Obama for telling voters that Trump would need a “magic wand” to bring back manufacturing jobs to the United States. “Well, we will tell Sleepy Joe that we found the magic wand,” Trump said as the crowd cheered.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/19/cnns-bakari-sellers-warns-left-if-election-occurred-today-trump-would-be-elected-another-4-years/Analyst Bakari Sellers appeared on CNN following President Trump’s re-election rally in Orlando on Tuesday night and delivered a warning to the left. He said if the election occurred today, Trump would be elected “another four years.” Trump had earlier dazzled his massive crowd of supporters, hitting a variety of talking points – draining the swamp, combating illegal immigration, and ripping Democrats and the mainstream media. Those who were part of the Amway Center’s crowd overflow watched the president’s speech on a big screen outside of the arena as part of the all-day “45 Fest.” All the while, watch parties popped up nationwide. Overall, the president saw a tremendous outpouring of support. Sellers appeared on CNN later and issued his warning to the left – a warning he admitted “may throw some people off.” “You know I don’t think Democrats have much to be excited about right now,” he said. “I think that if the election was today… I think that Donald Trump would be elected for another four years, and I think Democrats need to get that in their head,” he continued. Former Trump aide Steven Cheung tweeted the clip, adding, “When even @thedemocrats doubt their own chances of beating @realdonaldtrump, you know 2020 will bring 4 MORE YEARS. #Trump2020.” Recent polls show Trump surging in key Rust Belt states – Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

For comparison, former Vice President Joe Biden collected in $6.3 million in the first 24 hours after he announced his candidacy, and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont hauled in $5.9 million. RNC Communications Director Michael Ahrens pointed out in a post on Twitter that Trump’s haul crushed his opponents fundraising efforts. “For those keeping score, that’s more than the 5 highest polling Democrats — combined.” For other comparisons, the Sanders campaign collected $18.2 million in the first 41 days of his campaign; Sen. Kamala Harris of California hauled in $12 million during the first 90 days of 2019, while former Texas Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke of Texas raised $9.4 million and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg raised $7.1 million in the first quarter. The RNC said that the nearly $25 million will be split between the Trump re-election campaign and two joint Trump-RNC fundraising committees, Trump Victory and Trump Make America Great Again Committee, the Wall Street Journal reported. “The Trump campaign and the RNC together raised more than $75 million in the first quarter and had more than $80 million in the bank at the end of March,” the paper said. www.wsj.com/articles/trump-re-election-efforts-raise-24-8-million-tied-to-launch-rally-11560953267

www.fox10phoenix.com/politics/trump-campaign-rakes-in-stunning-25m-in-single-day-for-re-election-launchFOX NEWS - President Trump's campaign operation raised a whopping $24.8 million in less than 24 hours amid his 2020 re-election launch in Florida on Tuesday — a figure that blows past what any of the Democratic candidates raised in the entire first quarter. “@realdonaldtrump has raised a record breaking $24.8M in less than 24 hours for his re-election. The enthusiasm across the country for this President is unmatched and unlike anything we’ve ever seen! #trump2020 #KeepAmericaGreat,” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tweeted early Wednesday morning. According to an RNC spokesman, the fundraising -- at a clip of $1 million an hour -- came through the Trump re-election campaign and joint-fundraising committees Trump Victory and Trump MAGAC (Make America Great Again Committee). Minutes later, RNC Communications Director Michael Ahrens tweeted: “For those keeping score, that’s more than the 5 highest polling Democrats—combined.” Ahrens was referring to the top five polling Democratic candidates' fundraising during the 24 hours after they announced their presidential bids. Among them, former Vice President Joe Biden raked in $6.3 million and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., brought in $5.9 million, with the others raising significantly less than that. But none of the candidates hit $20 million even in the first quarter. Sanders brought in $18.2 million in the first 41 days of his campaign; Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., brought in $12 million during the first three months of this year, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas raised $9.4 million and South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg raised $7.1 million. Democratic presidential primary front-runner Joe Biden, who announced after the first quarter, hinted this week at raising roughly $20 million so far, as he tours the fundraising circuit with a series of top-dollar events. But the Trump campaign re-launch surpassed that in 24 hours, counting various fundraising committees, coinciding with his energetic rally in Orlando to a packed arena crowd. The fundraising numbers underscore what has, since before the Democratic candidates even started campaigning, been a huge cash advantage for the incumbent. Going into Trump’s rally on Tuesday, the re-election campaign had $40.8 million in cash-on-hand at the start of second-quarter fundraising on April 1. Combined with the RNC’s joint fundraising committees, they have a combined $82 million cash-on-hand for the second quarter. But despite Trump's massive war chest, the latest Fox News Poll shows Biden topping the president by 10 points and Sanders ahead of the president by 9 points. But Trump's campaign and the president himself have dismissed recent polling. "Our country is soaring to incredible new heights," Trump said Tuesday night, to loud applause. "Our economy is the envy of the world, perhaps the greatest economy we've had in the history of our country, and as long as you keep this team in place -- we have a tremendous way to go -- our future has never, ever looked brighter or sharper." Trump continued: "The fact is, the American Dream is back. It's bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before."
