an interesting point, but i think we're looking at it from different perspectives. my thought was that covid-19 added a whole new level of risk to american life, and voters might be looking for familiar stability in the face of that risk.

Still do . . . but might as well make Putin leader for life like his bum-buddy Xi - that's reform

Classic.

So for you the clusterfcuk that is Trump 'government' is actually an exemplar of capitalism at its best, then.

I guess every looney toon tweet must actually reassure you.

So this Joe Biden, is he suffering from rapidly diminishing cognative ability, or is he just easily tounge tied, or is it all a republican conspiracy?

Is that anything like a lounge suit?

How do you think he compares to Tommy?

Another favourite is 'rogue' and 'rouge'

As for lounge suit - anyone remember Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards?

How do y'all think either democratic candidate would fare in the one on one TV debate with Trump.
It's not even gonna be close is it... Donald will wipe the floor

When it comes to bullshitting - yes. Reality and facts and figures - no.

y'all, eh?

ok pahdnah.....here's the thing....presidential debates don't have a discernible impact on US election results in the modern era.

so, why don't you goan wrassle up some vittles, ok cowboy?


and FWIW, clinton (who is known not do well in debates) decidedly beat trump in the debates.....and it's likely that so will biden.

a stat that will have the trump campaign up nights.....

in michigan, whites without a college degree went for biden over bernie by ten points.


this is why he started the ukraine mess that ended with him getting impeached.

Do consider a debate a fact based discussion or a pro wrestling match?

I can assure you that IQ will determine your response.

You are decidedly mistaken,but do dream on.

doesn't matter, Biden comes across as disconnected, and elite, distant and cold. He is NOT giving warm feelings to voters, exactly like Hilary.

People vote with their hearts, not their minds, and Trump gives a hardon to everyone, even his haters

therefore he will win,

QED

anyway, after last night's results, what are your thoughts regarding the sanders campaign, bsnub?

should he debate biden on sunday?
should he drop out before next tuesday's primaries?
should he stay in it until the convention and use any bit of leverage he has to ensure the implementation of his agenda?

errrr....that's exactly the opposite of how biden comes across to voters.

The reality looks like Trump has the economy ticking along nicely, unemployment is low, job creation high, he hasn't started any wars, been no race riots, islamic state un-stated.
What facts am I missing? That Biden / Saunders are goting to use.
Server housing shortage maybe , but that's down to immigrants, whom Trump tried to wall out.

Nope he should suspend his campaign and I do think he will.
