Somewhere in this thread I posted numerous gaffes by Trump.

 

Find it, read and watch them and tell me Trump is playing with a full deck.

 

Let's be real about this, Trump's own mental ineptitude will cancel out Biden's missteps.

Transplant...let’s say you’re right. You can’t seriously think Biden is in any mental shape to be President can you?

Bonfire of the Democratic
Party’s Once-Rising Stars

by Jim Geraghty

Original Article

 

 

Let the 2020 cycle be a warning to political correspondents who write glowing profile pieces on the next great Democratic party hope. For some of us, the best part of this cycle so far is watching the slow-motion implosion of so many wildly over-hyped “rising stars” of the Democratic party — relentlessly trying and failing to gain traction against a trio of well-worn septuagenarians.

 

This primary is turning into a giant bonfire of once-promising political talents who could make national reporters swoon. As far back as 2017, Vogue and other national glossies gushed over the presidential potential of Kirsten Gillibrand. Beto O’Rourke was the favorite subject of glowing profiles

Warren: Middle-Class Taxes Won’t 
Go Up ‘One Penny’ for $52 
Trillion Health Care Plan

 

By David Ruiz

 

Original Article

 

 

In a long-awaited plan released Friday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) pledged to not raise middle-class taxes to pay for her proposed single-payer health care system. After months of dodging questions about whether she would hike middle-class taxes to pay for Medicare for All, the 2020 candidate made a firm promise to voters about a $52 trillion system involving $20.5 trillion in new federal spending over the next 10 years. "We don't need to raise taxes on the middle class by one penny to finance Medicare for All," Warren wrote in a post detailing her proposal.

You really believe the President is the mental Titan he thinks he is?

 

Yes, any Democratic candidate has the mental aptitude to beat Trump.

 

The question, honestly, is whether the same thing happens during this election cycle as it did with Hillary with the same serendipitous timing for Trump to be elected.

So....you're not going to answer my question? Never mind.

The Dem platform of open borders, free stuff and more government controls for many things gives us all several reasons to question the mental aptitude of the candidates.

I looked at Humana's financials and it looks like they are generating about a 3% net income on average over the past 3 years.  What's laughable is Warren or other dems thinking they are gonna cut costs by having the gubmint take over administering claims.etc...

https://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-aptitude-and-vs-ability/

 

Though aptitude and ability are two words that are often confused when it comes to their meanings and connotations, there is a difference between them. First let us define the two words. The word aptitude can be defined as natural ability. The word aptitude is used in the sense of ‘talent.’ On the other hand, the word ability is used in the sense of ‘skill.’ This can also be defined as the power to do something. This is the major difference between the two words. This article attempts to highlight the difference between the two words while providing an understanding of each word.

What does Aptitude mean?

The word aptitude can be defined as natural ability. This can be a potential within an individual that has not been fully developed yet. In this sense, it lays dormant until the individual realizes that he has such a potential and make use of it. Aptitude tests are aimed at assessing the mental ability of people. The word aptitude can be used in the English language in the following manner.

Observe the two sentences:

He showed tremendous aptitude at a young age.

She lauded his aptitude.

In both the sentences, you can see that the word aptitude is used in the sense of ‘talent.’ Hence, the meaning of the first sentence would be ‘he showed tremendous talent at a young age,’ and the meaning of the second sentence would be ‘she lauded his talent.’

It is interesting to note that the word aptitude is sometimes used in the sense of ‘fitness’ as in the sentence ‘he has a tremendous mental aptitude.’

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.

So what you are saying is that no one on the left has at present shown to have the ability to be president. I guess the only person who has shown that ability would be Trump, eh?

Wow, I sent your words right back at you and you call me an idiot? You're a clown. A very dumb clown.

 

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   :thumbsup:

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.
