    Trump claims ‘nobody ever heard’ Abraham Lincoln was a Republican until he pointed it out
    US president’s improbable claim made during roundtable discussion on Venezuela
    Donald Trump has claimed that until he became US president “nobody ever heard” that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.

    The US president’s improbable claim came during a roundtable discussion on Venezuela at his Doral golf resort in Florida, in which he largely ignored the issue of the South American country and instead praised his administration’s handling of a coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 135,000 Americans.

    “The Republican Party has grown incredibly from when it was and we have a whole different group of people in the Republican Party,” Mr Trump said on Friday.

    “Like people don’t remember, nobody ever heard of it until I came along, nobody remembered it for a long time, or they didn’t use it at least, I use it all the time: Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. You know you say that and people say, ‘I didn’t know that’, but he was Republican, so we’re doing a great job.”

    In fact, Lincoln, who abolished slavery and led the Union to victory in the American civil war, is the first and one of the most iconic Republican presidents in history.

    ...

    During the roundtable, Mr Trump also falsely accused rival nominee for president Joe Biden of trying to “impose socialism” on the US, wrongly suggested the Democratic Party wanted to “rip down statues to Jesus”, and said cities with Democrat political leaders were “going to hell”.

    Yeah. but probably like the worst president, because he's on the smallest denomination. Did less for blacks than our current president.

    You know whats funny? All this talk about how it's the Democrats who created the KKK, supported slavery, and it was the Republicans who freed the slaves, why wouldn't it follow that the modern day Republicans would be totally in favor of the #BLM movement?

    I mean, Republicans freed the slaves, right?


    Oooh, that's because they're being intellectually disingenuous.

    I can never tell if they think others are too stupid to realize the parties basically traded platforms during civil rights era, or if they're the ones who are too stupid.

    They are trying to spin, so it's obvious that they think others are stupid.

    It's similar to how Trump really thinks working class people are losers, but they seem to think he cares about them. They're too stupid to know better. Or too stubborn to admit hey are wrong about stuff.

    "Let's take a pass on Abraham Lincoln because he did good, although it's always questionable, you know, in other words, the end result."

    The Republicans back then were the Democrats. They switched places. In today's politics, Lincoln would be a Democrat

    * "In 2016, nearly one-fifth of the electorate didn't like either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, and exit polls showed Trump won that group of voters by a 17-point margin that easily could have accounted for his narrow wins in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

    But according to newly released Quinnipiac University polling, this bloc of double-hater voters now prefers Joe Biden by a 27-point margin—an ominous sign for Trump.

    That Quinnipiac poll also found Biden leading the horse race nationally by 15 points, along with an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll also released Thursday that gave Biden an 11-point margin. Those numbers aren't exactly good news for Trump either. In both polls, Biden made significant gains over the last month—rising seven points in the Q poll and four points in the NBC/WSJ poll.

    The NBC/WSJ poll also showed that fully 72% of voters say the country is on the wrong track—the highest (i.e., worst) of Trump's presidency.

    But if the Trump campaign has been planning on eking out a victory based on voters who don't particularly like either candidate, that doesn't seem to be in the cards. As the following Washington Post graphic shows, Biden is winning 95% of those who only view him favorably, and Trump is winning 97% of those who only view him favorably. But Biden has a 27-point advantage among those who don't view either favorably.

    [​IMG]

    And if you're wondering how much those double-haters helped Trump in 2016, the Post's Philip Bump did a good analysis several months ago. The margins in the Rust Belt states alone were enough to tilt the states in his favor:

    [​IMG]

    Several outlets have written recently about Trump's inability to settle on a single attack line against Biden. These Quinnipiac numbers also suggest Trump's efforts to drive up Biden's unfavorables are flailing.

    Three-plus years into Trump's presidency, it turns out it's nearly impossible to make himself nominally more palatable to voters by simply driving his opponent's unfavorables into the stratosphere." *
