‘I’m not Donald Trump’ won’t win the election for Biden | Sky News AustraliaSky News US political commentator Joe Hockey says running on a policy of ‘I’m not Donald Trump’ is not enough for Joe Biden to win.\n\nPresident Donald Trump has continued trying to frame the upcoming election as solely about law and order, while Democratic nominee for president Joe Biden has tried to link Mr Trump with the coronavirus crisis.\n\nMr Hockey said President Trump has tactically made the pandemic a state’s issue which has “lowered the temperature of the coronavirus … as a political issue”.\n\n“This election will be about jobs and security from a republican perspective,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\n“For the Democrats, it will be ‘I’m not Donald Trump’.\n\n“I don’t think ‘I’m not Donald Trump’ is enough of a policy platform for Joe Biden to win at the moment.”\n\nImage: AP

Republicans flock to Boat for Trump Parade: Annelise Nielsen in Oshkosh, Wisconsin | Sky News AustraliaAcross the US Labor Day events were being cancelled left, right and centre. Every search for a bit of colour and fun was turning up empty handed. \n\nExcept the “Boat for Trump” Parades.\n\nThe parades are a relatively new phenomenon. A few places claim to have started the idea, but they really took off in Florida. This year, no pandemic was going to slow these supporters down. \n\nSo we decided to go check one out. Our unscientific search for a boat parade lead us to a sizeable looking one in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In the north east of the state, this is a major centre for the industrial workers and manufacturers who flipped from Democrat to Trump in 2016. \n\nThe fact Donald Trump held a rally here at the beginning of the Democratic Convention, which had all but abandoned its technical base of Milwaukee, is the surest sign this town matters.\n\nDriving in, we’d had zero luck getting anyone to respond to our phone calls, texts, emails or Facebook messages. So we bought a carton of beer and hoped for the best. \n\nAbout 2 minutes in we found a woman out walking and explained we wanted to join the parade. Moments later she was in our back seat directing us to her friends house. The friend immediately gave us coffee and started ringing around. 20 minutes later we were boarding a pontoon belonging to a couple called Ron and Diane. \n\nThere’s a special kind of mid-west hospitality you don’t see anywhere else. \n\nSpending the day with a group Trump supporters you’re confronted with the reality that many Australians find uncomfortable, or simply can’t compute. That nice, reasonable, smart, hard working people like Donald Trump. \n\nEven in a Trump Boat parade, decked out in red, white and blue T-shirts and blasting military parade songs, these voters are not all like the others. \n\nSome leaned towards being pro-choice. Others think access to assault rifles actually ought be wound back. There is, however, an infatuation with Donald Trump as a person which you can’t reason

COVID-19 vaccine would be a 'gamechanger' for Trump | Sky News AustraliaUnited States Studies Centre CEO Simon Jackman says the development and distribution of a coronavirus vaccine before the November election would be a “gamechanger” for President Trump.\n\n“If there were a vaccine rolled out and it was efficacious and it was widely distributed and really knocked this thing on its head before election day, that would be nothing short of a political triumph,” he told Sky News.\n\nThe President faces a political deficit on the pandemic with COVID-19 the “single biggest factor” where Donald Trump has a negative rating relative to Democratic nominee Joe Biden.\n\nMr Jackman also highlighted the widely publicised news story reporting Donald Trump made disparaging remarks about America’s fallen soldiers. \n\n“The idea that the commander in chief was reported to be talking that way about people who serve, people who have died for their country, that is a massive political dagger,” he said.\n\nAccording to Mr Jackman the significance of this news story was it “put Trump on the defensive” and resulted in a situation where he was not in control of the agenda for a good two or three news cycles over the Labor Day weekend.\n\nImage: AP

Trump military rumours just a ‘tactic’ to portray him as attacking base | Sky News AustraliaSky News US political commentator Joe Hockey says the Biden campaign are using a “new political tactic” to frame President Donald Trump as attacking his own base.\n\nLeft-wing publication, The Atlantic, released an article written by four nameless people who suggested President Trump didn’t want to go to a war cemetery in France because those who died in war are “losers” and “suckers”.\n\nFormer national security advisor to President Trump, John Bolton, who was with the president when he reportedly insulted the war heroes, said he had “not heard either of those comments or anything even resembling them.”\n\nMr Hockey said the president’s opponents have isolated a “pattern of behavior” - in this case it’s Mr Trump’s constant use of the word ‘loser’.\n\n“So what they’ll do is get a friendly publication to write effectively an unsourced article alleging that he used it about the people that are in his base,” he said.\n\n“In this case it is clearly not right; that’s the fundamental point.”\n\nImage: AP
