I would really like Mayor Pete to win the nomination, I just don't think it happens. Thought Biden was the most likely nominee all along and still do. As for whatever closing of the gap there is in poll numbers... does it matter if he's still pretty clearly #1 nationally pretty deep into his candidacy and pretty close to the primaries? Oh, and GO BILLS!!!

This. That long ball to Foster was another frustrating long miss, but I really don't care about those passes if he's hitting the other ones. What about the missed DPI by the refs on that 3rd down pass from Allen? And icing on the cake there was McDermott not throwing the challenge flag. Allen REALLY needs to work on protecting the football as teams now know he has fumblitis, but as a passer, Allen's been really good. My problems have been with Daboll and, to a lesser degree, McDermott.

Halfway through the season I believe Daboll is the concern, not Allen. Allen looked good. Honestly his numbers should have been better, but play calling and a badly missed DPI along with a failure on McDermott's part to challenge it hurt the team. Biggest weakness on this team on the field is run defense. Off the field it's Daboll. Consider this: Last 4 games Allen has a 98.4 Passer Rating with 61.6 Completion Percentage, 7 passing TDs and 1 INT. 8 total TDs and 2 turnovers.

I don't get it... @Deranged Rhino told me to say bye to Joe

Because of your criticism of age on the Democratic side and your dismissal of Trump's age. Did you really need that spelled out for you?

Dear Lord. You guys are a strange hypocritical bunch over here, but you stick together so I'll give you that

How old is Trump again???

Pretty damn nice call by the OP

“Lack of viable contributory excuse”...??? Okay old man. Nice viable contributory though

I'm sorry, are you talking to yourself again? I hear that happens in old age.

Good grief. It sure was enlightening. It's enlightening the "sources" being used in that thread for actual facts and data. Talking heads posted on Twitter are not sources people!!! @Deranged Rhino had one post in there of a clip of a guy on Fox News and some dude posting the numbers distinguishing wage growth under Bush vs. Obama vs Trump. Almost every reply to that Twitter post is asking for the source of the information. But I went through the last 10 pages of that thread and found one or two relevant posts from credible sources regarding 3rd Quarter Fundraising stating that the RNC and Trump raised $125 million in the 3rd quarter and that between the Trump campaign, RNC and the Make America Great foundation there was $45 million in small donors. It isn't made clear that the Make America Great foundation fundraising is taken into account in the $125 million, but supposing it is, that means 36% of Trump's 3rd quarter fundraising was from small donors. That % is smaller if the MAGA fundraising isn't part of the initial number. So Trump certainly didn't get most of his money from small donors 3rd quarter. Did 1st and 2nd quarter small dollar donors blow the 3rd quarter away? That source also states that Democratic fundraising in total exceeds Trump.

I'll try to read it eventually. I just don't understand why it's so difficult to post what should be at most one or two links, especially if you found and added them yourself. The OP in that thread that you started doesn't inspire confidence considering it's a Twitter post from some dude making a vague claim that he doesn't support with any credible evidence.

Ignored you, clicked "show this post," and just have to respond: If the bolded is the understood way it works here--and note that after your whining I did provide a link and just obliterated the argument you were trying to make as you launched into evasive maneuvers--then I would expect @Buffalo_Gal would thus expect to be held to the same standards in providing that direct link. Aloha!

You linked me to a 74 page thread. Would you scroll through a 74 page thread? You seem awfully sure of the sourcing to so confidently say most of Trump's money is from small donors, all I asked for was a direct link to the source, not a 74 page thread that may or may not contain a link to what may or may not be a credible source. Regardless, from what I can find that's not true. But despite what some posters might believe--like recently ignored ones--I'm completely accepting of facts that are actual facts.

Not surprising at all if it's primarily big money donors. Citizens United has done its damage to the Democratic party in the money-raising competition, clearly. You guys seem to be claiming Trump gets most of his money from small dollar donors. I would like to see where you get that information. Right about what? He's not predicting anything there.

Well color me skeptical then. Time is something I don't have if it takes time to find it. Here's what I found: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-fundraising-q3/ Comparing the parties in 2019 so far The Democratic Party is putting a lot of weight on grassroots fundraising this election cycle. That’s in part because of ActBlue, an online Democratic fundraising tool that has raised over $3 billion for the party by helping to fuel a surge of small-dollar donations.1 When the Democratic National Committee made fundraising a criterion in determining which candidates qualify for the party’s first debates, it specified a minimum number of donors per candidate but not a minimum dollar number, prioritizing candidates who could demonstrate broad national support even if their fundraising totals were relatively low.2 No one is doing better with small donors than Bernie Sanders, who raised $43.0 million, or 57.8 percent of his total, from donors who gave $200 or less.3 Overall this year, 40.1 percent of Democrats’ funding came from small donors. For Trump, 15.2 percent of his total haul came from people who gave less than $200. Here’s the breakdown for all the Democrats as a group and for Trump on his own for the first, second and third quarters. What follows that excerpt is a chart that I can't copy and past that shows that for Trump, 15.2% of his money from the first 3 quarters is from small donors, 15.8% is from big donors, 67.8% is from transfers and 1.1% is "other" By contrast, for Dems 40.1% is small donors, 36.3% is big donors, 7.7% is transfers and 15.6% is "self funding," which is Steyer, I'm guessing. But again I'd be curious to see what you cited... legitimately. I'm not trying to call you out here, but with all due respect, I got absolutely slammed on here by some idiot for not linking a site when I posted something I claimed was a fact. I was told that's not how it's done here.

I always get nervous about playing teams when they switch QBs that week... Oh well, this should be an easy W by NFL standards.

Read that thread? Yeah, I'd rather not go through 74 pages to find that. Most of his donations are small donors? I googled it and it's oddly difficult to pin down and it seems like there's some variance in numbers. The couple I found look like Dems are vastly outraising Trump in small donors less than $200 per donation... like 40% vs 15%. So if you have a link, I'd appreciate it

Trump's getting plenty of big money and obviously will because that's what drives the Republican party. How much of his money is from small dollar donations? $5.3 million from 182,000 individual donations less than $30 on average is likely a much different path than Trump is taking to get his money. And yes, I think that really, really matters.

https://apnews.com/db01cb07afed4f82831c04127542c019 Biden reaps $5.3M online donation surge amid Trump attacks WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden raised $5.3 million in October in a surge of small-dollar online contributions that rolled in after President Donald Trump launched unfounded attacks against the former vice president over his son’s Ukrainian dealings. The swell of cash was raised from through 182,000 donations, with an average amount of about $28, according to figures provided to The Associated Press by Biden’s presidential campaign.

At this point with you, 1 of 2 things are very, very clear. 1) You're a troll 2) Your life really sucks. Probably a combination of both. Welcome to ignore since you never post anything useful, anyway

You're an idiot.

And again. Yes. That was the word I meant. One cannot show ability to become President until one actually is President. One does not do all the things required to be President until he sits in the Oval Office. It was the word I meant and the meaning I meant. But nice try at a gotcha moment, moron. You should probably try going outside to get some Sun. Your life just seems miserable.

Answer = yes Answer = yes
