ATX, it isn't unnoticed. Its rejected.


Not by us. We both notice and appreciate the sea-change in approach that has brought about peace deals that were otherwise thought impossible.


But those that hate Trump, hate the approach. Biden and his team have already stated they will undo the methodology and switch back to the previous approach in the Middle East.


They have also indicated a reversal to the approach to China. IF Biden pulls this off, we will surrender to the CCP.

Great post, Ferd. I couldn’t agree more. Those who are looking at the big picture know we just threw out the baby with the bath water.

Doesn't make sense.

Trump got 8-9 million more votes than 2016 - and he worked his butt off for that. Do I really believe than Biden - who barely ran a campaign - also got 8-9 million more votes? I don't believe that.

Sure it makes sense. The Republicans got to configure their congressional districts to their advantage. They held power at the state level at the 2010 census. They hold power now as the 2020 census concludes. They get to Gerrymander the congressional districts. That's why Republicans won state congressional districts despite Trump losing in the state-wide election.



Trump will end up losing the popular vote by 3 to 4 million votes.

His peace agreements are seriously something incredible for him and America to always be proud of. Some day more Americans will realize it and admit it.
He made agreements with like people... not sure it will truly hold, but as we are all in a pandemic everyone is standing down.

Nope. Not buying it.

The only Republicans stumping for Biden are long term government personnel who probably benefit from their position - like McCain.

Again - Trump got millions more votes than 2016. And it was reflected in House gains, and a retention of the Senate.

That's what I did. I voted a split ticket.

Yet his vote count is approaching that of the first black president in his historic first election.

I guess a few people do like him.

That’s a great way of minimizing his accomplishments. Some day you may see it differently. As the widow of a serviceman I’m surprised you can’t acknowledge his commitment to minimizing our soldiers in conflicts. I’m from a military family of both liberals and conservatives, and the one thing they CAN agree on is that Trump is no war hawk.

Media harassment for 4 years

They stopped counting several states that Trump was winning.

They are cheating. I understand you have to put a good face on it - but they are cheating.
