However, once Trump loses the popular vote, which he will, don't expect these people to admit they were wrong. They will pivot to how the election was stolen with fraudulent votes.
Yeah, most Trump supporters on here live in their own world and its hard to tell if their serious or trolling.10 years from now, they'll be passing stories down to their grandchildren about how "the deepstate stole the election for Trump by fradulent mail in ballots."

Its always gonna be someone elses fault when objectively speaking....Trump is just a plain awful president and has never been popular other than with his base

Democrats can openly admit Carter was not a good President. He is consistently ranked in the bottom half of US Presidents. You lick your wounds and move on. I have my feeling that you are right. Trump supporters will be spinning tall tales about Trump and how he was taken down by TikTok and other conspirators.

Repeat as much as necessary until it sinks in.
You mean when they narrowed the scope to not include looking at any of his financials, did not make some key players available, and stonewalled- they couldn't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt there was collusion. Although 1 R did vote to convict. And a second said he would learn his lesson which is an interesting comment given that most people don't use that in relation to innocence.

At any rate- SDNY should have a lot of fun once he's out of office.

I didn't realize most people 58 and over are dead.

Where do you live? Do they kill off the old people?

You appear desperate to explain away why Biden handled Trump without admitting that you bought the dementia BS hook, line and sinker.
I've seen Biden speak. He's lost what little he had. You're in denial.
Biden didn't handle Trump. He repeated a few talking points and mostly had nothing else to say.

That so many Democrats have been behind someone disabled for president is a really bad sign on the Democrats.

America. Where we sacrificed the old folks so we could continue going out to bars and gyms. You don't have to look far for comments that range from:

- Just have the vulnerable people stay home
to
- Well, they are old and lived long enough. Let them die off for the greater good.

Joe Biden:

2016 Hillary Clinton popular vote: 65,853,514

2020 predicted Joe Biden popular vote: 62,700,000



I think Trump's voter enthusiasm is through the roof, partially due to the Democrat's ANTIFA and BLM destructive riots, and the abolish/defund police proposals.

I think a lot of would-be Democrat voters are turned off this election, and won't vote, in part due to bad candidate in Biden, his worse VP candidate in Harris, and just frustration due to everything going on.

Chime in with predictions and opinion.
A parade of nonsense here, defying all current prognostications. No facts whatsoever.
Trump enthusiasm may be high, but it can't even ever measure up to the disgust and revulsion that people have for Trump. Early voting is what is through the roof, and that is a sign Democrats are out to win.

He's also just been pretty much proven to have lied about his knowledge of his son's corrupt behavior, using his VP status as a way to make money for him.

Biden himself said he'd be the "most progressive candidate in history." That doesn't sound like a moderate. He might have been in 1987, certainly not now.

And Kamala Harris was so hated by even the Democrat party that she had to drop out before the first primary.
1. I wouldn't call appointing a woman as his VP "pandering". Had he picked Bernie as his VP, people would have said he was pandering to progressives. Had he picked Buttigieg, people would have said he was pandering to LGBT folks. Had he picked a straight, white man for his VP, the same people would have criticized him for that, so he went with someone he thought was more than qualified, Kamala, who happens to be black and a woman.

2. This focus on Hunter Biden is nothing but a last ditch effort of the failing Trump re-election campaign to basically pull a 2016-esque surprise at the eleventh hour. The timing of this is extremely suspicious and the New York Post's reporting of all this reeks of misinformation (getting pulled from social media sites). At this point Trump is drowning in controversy and scandal (taxes, COVID, inciting white supremacists, disrespecting our veterans, etc.) so I wouldn't put it past him to start slinging mud at the competition.

3. "Progressive" doesn't equate to socialist or far-left. Reducing income inequality, reforming our policing, getting money out of politics, and introducing renewable energy policies are not and should not be considered far-left policies.
