If Biden can get us out of this Covid mess the economy will take back off and repair itself. Deep down, we all know that.
Then Trump can sit around tweeting all day how Joe inherited a great economy.
I realize the stock market is not the economy. Sure, there may be some changes in the tax code, but that will not stifle growth.
Hell, the offset of ending this useless trade war will counterbalance that. Originally Posted by TheWanderer

Can’t wait for the VP debate. Harris against Chief butt-kisser, Dense Pence. What a show, lol. Shit, a bag of hammers would fare better against Harris. Originally Posted by Prolongus

Besides that Biden has foreign policy cred, he doesn't need Rice.Rice's foreign policy performance was a disaster and she's shown herself to be willing to tell major lies regarding completely objective things. Benghazi sparked by a video. Total made up nonsense. Biden had no chance with her. Probably has close to 50/50 chance with Harris.
the Republicans will desperately attempt the "she's a Socialist" nonsense, which will fall flat, as it has with Biden. Hell, Biden could have chosen Strom Thurmond, "Socialist" would still be the playbook.
I predicted on this website, 17 months ago, that Harris would be the Presidential pick. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

Trump ironically called Harris "nasty" yesterday, even as he is the most nasty national politician in several generations.

His dementia is kicking in fast. Why do you think they have been hiding him Originally Posted by txexetoothe reason she polled low, is because the field was crowded, and nobody but Biden was known very well. Trump's numbers were low in the Republican field in 2015, it's simple math.. and quite irrelevant to her positioning as a VP candidate.
maybe from the more partisan groups, but generally speaking, the "mainstream" view of Biden is that he's.... kind of moderate.I'm not forgetting, and I think few women know or believe that Harris did that. but I don't think it will be a liability, just like the pussy-grabbing was not. those women who believe Harris sucked off Willie Brown, will probably sympathize.. as in she had to do what she had to do, the system was rigged against her. just like Trump's supporters made excuses.. "it was locker room banter, nothing to see here"
indeed
AOC and her dumbass crew are basically cornering the democrats into more radical views than they really want using the race card.
yeah, but she got all of a minute at the upcoming convention. Biden is not buying what she's selling.
Biden's entire gameplan is "I'm not Trump who is a racist." Is that really going to be enough to win over independents? I doubt it.
I think it's more "I'm not Trump".. which is enough of a strategy to win back a good chunk of White Suburban women.
Have you seen Tulsi rip apart Kamala in the debates? Because it's glorious and Kamala had no rebuttal to her at all. How exactly is Trump a nasty politician? He fights dirty, but so do the Democrats?
I recall Tulsi getting in a couple of good dingers, but I don't remember what she said, or to who
I think Republicans are more worried about the covid situation. That could make or break Trump's president, imo.
they should be worried.. they weren't for so long, to their detriment
I mean, you can't really blame Trump for an economy that sank because of a "pandemic."
and I don't.. but I do think he mishandled the CO-VID situation.
he shut down China travel, then walked away. insisted there was no problem, ignored it.. ridiculed masks. and he lies about the economy now.. plays up the fact that "I created more jobs last month than anyone in history".. no you didn't.. more jobs that were lost came back after the shutdown eased. the Stock market is good, because of a 6.2 trillion dollar liquidity pump from the Fed Chairman he seems to hate, judging from past tweets. all-time lows on interest rates, almost free money, so naturally housing is doing well. Gold is on fire, because the economy is artificially pumped up. of course the same conditions arose after Bush sank the economy in 2008, and Obama "rescued" it. he didn't really, Bernanke did. yet these same Republicans savaged Obama for huge deficits, and would never admit Obama's economy took off. but they will take credit when it happens under Trump. in both situations the very rich got much richer after the economic fallout, it is the poorest people who took the big hit.
Biden just has to go on stage and he will sink his own dumbass campaign.
I disgree.. if he remains calm and doesn't let Trump rile him (like all of the Repblican candidates did in 2015), Biden should do fine.
if you were keeping tabs, Biden did better in each successive debate this political season
How? Like, you can hear him verbally fucking up in interviews. If it's a one-off thing, okay, fine. People sometimes do muck up words. But Biden is CONSTANTLY feeding himself his own foot.
And let's be real. If Trump made even a fraction of those types of mistakes, the media would air it till the end of time.
Trump's mistakes are not the same as Biden's, but they are worse because Trump speaks from the heart. that reel of the many times Trump dismissed the virus is damning. funny as Hell to watch, I think the Lincoln Project put that out.
Women voted from Trump after the immortal pussy grabbing tape. And yeah, Kamala is also a woman, but you're forgetting that she effectively slept her way to power. You don't think women will consider that when voting?

she lied about Benghazi, but her record on the whole was not a disaster. you cite one instance, I can write 6-7 pages of lies Trump has told.There's also the Haiti thing, her insulting women who Bill Clinton (allegedly) raped, laughing at getting a pedophile off, blaming russia for her loss.
Saying Republicans are "clingers who cling to god and guns" in the manner he said it is still a shitty thing to say. You understand that, right?I know and agree.. Hilary Clinton is abominable.
I do understand.. not very diplomatic. but when I see gun-toting Neanderthals protesting in Michigan, bitching about shut down rules, it's hard to feel much sympathy.
Also, why shouldn't Trump call people nasty when they're the ones flinging shit at him? You forget the Democrats wasted three years with a bogus Russian investigation, spent endless amount of time calling him racist, sexist and whatnot, twisted his original speech to make him sound worse, make him denounce people who he denounced a million times over, blamed covid on him despite Democrat ran states and cities doing a shitty job, and more, right?
If you want to call Trump nasty or whatever, that's fine. But don't act like he's the only one doing it.
he's not the only one doing it.. I'm the first guy to say "the left" has been on an unrelenting campaign to dog Trump. Trump started the nastiness when he systematically mowed down (fucked over) every Republican who ran against him last time. the Republicans hated him briefly, before deciding they might as well put up with it, he is in power. Rubio and Cruz turned their personal hatred away, got on their knees, and give Trump daily blow jobs. pathetic losers those guys. at least Kasich has enough balls to still denounce Trump, and will speak at the Democrat Convention next week.
