his RCP approval average is down with most polls ending 1/7 so i doubt the riot factored in yet.

No, it is going downwards.

You can't be serious. Name calling? That's Trump's calling card.

And you forget the context. Trump simply would not shut up during the 2 minute span of time when each candidate gets to speak uninterrupted. These are rules Trump agreed to. And he broke those rules so much that they opted to mute his microphone if he went over or interrupted in the third debate.

Well, to some degree I do understand. In 2016 I voted for someone not of the major parties, because I too am frankly sick of the same old same old, and I believe people just saw this guy who is entertaining and loud and says crazy things and had a TV show and they figured what the hell--he's got to be better than the standard-issue politician. I assumed Clinton would win, though, because I didn't think THAT many people would follow a man who was basically a clown that we've been watching act up in NYC to get attention for decades. Donald frikken Trump running for President seemed like a big joke to me right up to the night he won.

So this time, I didn't make that same mistake. Like many others, I voted for Biden because he is not Trump. Would have preferred Amy Klobuchar, but that wasn't happening. But this time I didn't throw my vote away, and I think there are many others like me who realized that what we did last time helped cause this disaster of the past four years.

I wish we could be like other countries such as the Netherlands and Canada who regularly have four or five viable candidates to choose from.
Take the last four elections as an example.

No matter who you personally voted for, Obama was going to win New Jersey in 2008 and 2012, Hillary was going to win New Jersey in 2016, and Biden was going to win New Jersey in 2020.

Another possibility, Trump tries to flee the country before the inauguration.

TL;DR. I think Russia and Brazil are his most likely choices. Maybe a small country with a pro-Trump leader that isn't crossing my mind.

Did you not listen to the debate? Who called the other guy a "clown," and "idiot" and someone who never does anything but lie? When in the history of American debates has anyone used that language with their opponent. Interrupted is quite common in presidential debates, but both far exceeded the norm on that.

You don't seem to realize how stupid you look denying Biden's name calling.

If moving to another country was the plan, Israel may be the #1 stop. Didn't they name a city or part of a city after Trump? Also I think they minted coins with his face. Moving the embassy might have been a very big deal.

so everyone is making a fuss about the Biden inauguration.

But, it signals the beginning of the problems he will inherit and it wont be fun. Already Biden promised a certain number of vaccine doses in 100 days. Already reports are there he overpromised.

He will have the possibility of the leftover business of Trump like if they do impeachment. Already that will interfere with him getting his cabinet together. And other things.

I think he may have more on his plate than he thinks. Will be interesting to see how he will handle or mishandle it.

So inauguration day might be the most fun day he will have going forward. Wait till he really has to do real business.
