This is exactly how most people feel — disturbed by Trump’s personality and behavior, but compared to the democrats, he looks benign, even saintly....
It’s what direction we want the country to go in ——>. Democrats will lead us into more third world anarchy, racial division and tension, lack of sovereignty and borders, censuring opposing views, and a failing economy outsourcing to China and other countries.

Since the Congressional republicans are such spineless wimps, too afraid of being called RACIST!!! to stand up to the Dems, it has taken a New York
narcissistic bully to stand up to the left’s corrupt media and America-destroying policies....

Interesting that its Obama-hate and Hillary-hate that got Trump elected in 2016. He didnt even win the national popular vote. So slimmest of margins. He has done NOTHING to attract more votes. He is depending on limiting Democrat vote by hook or by crook and getting all his rabid base out. Way Electorial College is set up, its all about the hate vote in half dozen states. Biden doesnt have to do anything, Trump will sink himself. The swing voters that hated Hillary and Obama, well they dont hate old grandpa Biden even with the wild swiftboating of Biden calling him child molester and all that nonsense. And enough of them arent that enamored of Trump, he is bit too weird for those that arent rabid support base. Kinda why the Democrats coalesced around Biden, those swing voters that arent rabid Trump supporters, but hated Hillary, dont hate Biden.



Means Biden will probably win. Doesnt mean the country wins. But country loses less than they would with second Trump term.



If anybody is honest about it, both Trump and Biden are way past their "best used by date".

The overwhelming majority of the violence perpetrated against black people is perpetrated by black people, yet no rioting.

What else you got?

When you honestly feel that anyone could do better, it makes sense that you'd vote for anybody but him. It may not go over well with many (I agree with Moore on that), but it is a legitimate reaction to such a dumpster fire.


Before Corona we had sustained 3.5% unemployment, wages rising faster than inflation for all income groups and no new wars.

"Dumpster fire"?

This kind of distraction is not working anymore, that is your problem. Every American voter has seen for themselves exactly what Trump has said, watched all his foolish advice, what he has done, and what he has prioritized over people's lives and health. it is always, and always will be, about Trump. Not America. This is why his polling numbers look so pathetic.

This is not about slick retorts. This is about real lives and racist policies that have brutalized American lives.

He should channel his hatred for Trump towards something useful, like jogging. Instead, he's probably manhandling a large bag of potato chips and a large pizza, with an open 2 litter of soda within reaching distance as I type this out. He's a wreck, but he wants to tell everyone else how to live. Typical of people with Marxist tendencies.
That's all you've got? Appearances and habits? Does that mean anyone overweight is to be ignored? What about your hero POTUS Trump?

Moore was the only D that said out loud to anyone who would listen that DJT would be elected POTUS in July of the 2016 election season. The Ds should have paid attention.

Dems can't win period, not with Biden.

End of the day, you will not get 51% of the voting population to simply hate Trump and vote "Whoever 2020"

And Biden cannot be on screen for more than 30 seconds without making even the hardest TDS sufferer cringe in pain. He's that addled and scattered now. In a debate with Trump, he gets crushed. That's why the media is pretty much hiding him right now. Every time he gets even 10-15 second bites, it is very carefully engineered, edited, etc. Once he has to go live, it will be readily apparent that he would be truly frightening as President simply because his elevator doesn't go all the way to the top anymore.

I am not saying that to be mean. My father-in-law had dementia, and my favorite uncle (big brother really) has it setting in. It sucks, and it's unfortunate, but it's a reality. Biden has dementia and the media, the DNC and his handlers are doing everything possible to hide/avoid it.

So their only chance is either pick someone else at the convention, which is another losing proposition this late in the game, or go with what I think is their only remaining Hail Mary play - pick someone like Stacey Abrams and focus like a laser on VP debates, VP candidate vs VP incumbent, and make it a VP election where the POTUS gig is an afterthought. Anything else, and Trump may come close to a Reagan v Mondale win.

Black woman VP, organize like a dozen debates with Pence, remove as much focus from Biden as you possibly can, never let him talk for more than 30 seconds and make none of his prepared speeches too complicated. It's all they really have left, and I am pretty certain even that won't be enough.

You mean you think Trump has done nothing because you get censored news from political activist news organizations aka mainstream media.

This is just the Economic sector listed below. Go to the website to read accomplishments for Immigration, Foreign Policy, National Defense, Regulation, Land and Agriculture, Energy and Environment, Law and Justice, Govt Accountability, Health Care, Infrastructure, Social Programs, Education, Veterans.
