Michael Moore Thinks Donald Trump Will Win
On a special Wednesday edition of Real Time with Bill Maher, the outspoken comedian and television host welcomed MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid, columnist Dan Savage, and filmmaker Michael Moore to his show. Moore is famously liberal and a fierce opponent of Republican nominee Donald Trump, but he admitted he feared the worst will happen this November.
“I’m sorry to have to kind of be the buzzkill here so early on, but I think Trump is going to win,” Moore said to groans and boos from the audience.
“Boo if you want,” Maher said to his audience before shifting his attention back to Moore. “I am glad you’re saying it. Everybody should say that. The enemy is complacency. Say it every day. [Trump] certainly could win.”
“It’s going to be the Brexit strategy,” Moore said, referring to the recent vote by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union. “The middle of England is Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. And Mitt Romney lost by 64 electoral votes. The total electoral votes of those four states in the Rust Belt? 64. All he has to do is win those four states.”
Reid, for her part, explained why she think Trump will lose the election to presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. “What happens is people of color stay home, unfortunately, in off years,” she said. “But in presidential years, with normal turnout … Donald Trump is going to need like 65 to 66 percent of the white vote, which is not easy to do. … If African Americans and Latinos didn’t exist, if they were all sort of beamed to another planet, sure, Donald Trump would win.”
“Which is tomorrow night’s Republican National Convention program,” quipped Savage in response.
