A progressive veterans group is warning President Donald Trump that he’s lost the support of the U.S. military at the ballot box.

“Donald Trump is panicking,” a new video from VoteVets said. “Finding any excuse to show up in military communities. He knows if the election were held today, he’d lose the military vote in a landslide.”

A new poll from Military Times showed Trump’s favorability rate plunging among both active-duty troops and officers. Perhaps more significantly, 41 percent plan to vote for former Vice President Joe Biden versus 37 percent for Trump.

Vote Vets said there was a simple reason for it.

“Because Donald Trump disrespects those who serve,” the narrator said, then listed all of the ways the president had failed to protect the troops, including the Russian bounty scandal.

3. Well, since he owes allegiance to Putin and not to America...

...and its constitution, the same Constitution American soldiers swear to defend - often at peril of their lives - it is not entirely surprising, is it?

4. I think it's because of the wall money. McCaskill said the bounties

Maybe a mixture of both and also that he such a complete disaster.

I think the money being pulled away from housing and activity centers to go to his wall has more to do with it than the bounties.

5. That's why there is a "Veterans for Biden" sticker

on the tailgate of my truck. Trump is not a friend of active duty or former military people.

6. He's losing almost every demographic group that supported the POS in 2016. If there

was a group trump got more consolidated support for 2020, it would be the white nationalist thugs and other groups of similar caliber.

However, these groups were already for trump in 2016, and thus, won't make any significant impacts in pro-trump voting for 2020.

So 78% of the service is going to vote, what about the other 22%? Pretty major gap here.
