I am a long time independent and will vote for Trump.
As disturbing as his personality and some of his behavior is, the deeply corrupted and moronic democrats make him look benign and much safer to lead our country.....

I'll do you one better. I'm an extremely liberal Democrat and I'll likely vote for Trump. My fellow Democrats have shown their colors with the Kavanaugh affair and now their dictatorship grabs during the Covid-19 "crisis."

I don't think a lot of anti-trump people get that many of us that voted for Trump, and still support him for President, don't particularly like him. They assume that we don't see the over-inflated ego and crass manners that he has. We see it. We often don't particularly like it. But I don't have to "like" the President. I just want him to be effective in doing the job.

I "get" that a lot of Trump voters don't like Trump as a person. But I see a lot more that literally worship the guy, even claiming that Trump was "sent by God to save the country".






Trump’s campaign manager says the president was sent by God to save the country. The White House press secretary thinks God wanted Trump to be president. And the secretary of State believes it’s possible that Trump is on a holy mission to protect the Jewish people from the threat of Iran.





Forget the allegations of extramarital affairs, the nonstop Twitter insults and the efforts to close the southern border to migrants. Trump’s allies insist that hispresidency is divinely inspired.
“There has never been and probably never will be a movement like this again,” Brad Parscale, the president’s campaign manager, wrote Tuesday morning on Twitter. “Only God could deliver such a savior to our nation, and only God could allow me to help. God bless America!”

What I'm wondering now is if God sent Trump to save the country then why has he sent the Coronavirus pandemic? It has wrecked "Trump's economy", exposed Trump as an incompetent moron, and endangered his reelection chances. Maybe God realized he made a mistake sending us Trump.

Some Democrats and Independents would have voted for Hitler before ever voting for Hillary, that's how much they hate her.

But, those same Democrats and Independents see President Biden as Obama-lite and they can tolerate him.

Trump will lose the popular vote, just like he did in 2016, except this time, those 77,700 Democrats and Independents who voted against Hillary ---which is not the same thing as voting for Trump -- will gladly vote for President Biden.

Trump will not take Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin this time round, which is what saved his ass in 2020 thanks to those 77,700 Democrats and Liberals who voted against Hillary.

Best Trump can hope for is 260 electoral votes, which is not enough to win.

I'm not even sure Trump will take Ohio, because a lot of Democrats and Liberals voted against Hillary -- which is not the same thing as voting for Trump

Biden is un-electable due to both his mental failings and his new Progressive stance. He can't put a coherent sentence together. The Dems know this and are now stuck.
