Backintheday544 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 1 minute ago, The Frankish Reich said: The problem for Trump on these numbers: third party candidates got almost 5% of the vote in 2016. They will probably get more on the order of 1% this year. Hard to imagine that those people will break for Trump in anything more than, say, a 2 (Biden) to 1 (Trump) ratio. Most of these people were anti-Hillary but not pro-Trump, and there's little reason they'd be converted to Trump now. So that means Trump stuck at 47 max probably gets Biden to his 5 point margin. And that's very likely to result in an electoral college victory too. That seems to be a good reason why the Republican lawyers are helping Kanye so much.

Backintheday544 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 1 minute ago, Rob's House said: Wallace: Will you condemn white supremacists ...? President Trump: Sure Liberals: THE PRESIDENT REFUSED TO CONDEMN WHITE SUPREMACISTS!!! For the real quote; During a segment dedicated to race, Chris Wallace, the moderator, asked Trump, "Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down?" Trump tiptoed around the question and instead doubled down that "almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right wing." Wallace pushed back on Trump, along with former Vice President Joe Biden, and again asked him to address right-wing violence "What do you want to call them?" Trump asked. "Give me a name, give me a name." "Proud Boys," Biden said, referring to a far-right group. "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by," Trump responded.

We still hear how did the Clinton's get all that money? Well you can look at their return and see their royalty income from speaking and writing. It doesn't show if they fudged deductions or are hiding illegal money from the Clinton Foundation, but we can at least see where the income is from per their word. They took the information gained under a microscope, and conducted a broad based criminal investigation into them, which turned up tax fraud committed by Trump’s former lawyer.

From the Blood coming out of Megyn Kelly's eyes or whatever he said. That was August 2015. His introduction to America in the first GOP debate. He hasn't changed. It hasn't mattered. He keeps winning. But sure tell them what to do. I think he knows exactly what he wanted to do. It hasn't mattered??? He keeps winning??? Are you living in an alternate reality where President Trump has already won a 2nd term??? Donald Trump won the 2016 election. If somehow that equals "he keeps winning" to you... well... 31 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: There was no bigger softball than "Do you condemn white supremacists." That's kind of like "Do you condemn running over kittens with lawnmowers?" Trump flubbed it all by himself, no help from Chris Wallace or Joe Biden. One of the most disgusting and pathetic moments of the debate. It's probably going to be in an ad tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except you conveniently cut out the answer to Wallace's first question, which was "sure." Then when they followed up and he asked them which group they wanted him to tell to "stand down" they said Proud Boys (not a white supremacist or militia group, BTW) and he told them to stand down. The big "gotcha" that you're clinging to is that he also said "stand by." I guess you gotta take your talking points where you can get them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flippantly was like sure He said stand down and stand by. Why you leave out the stand by? Proud Boys has ties to white supremacists don't know how that's debatable. He also never said, i condemn white nationalist. It's not like it's a new thing for him. He has frequently not done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump ... argued with his own Government, just like he argued with the CDC about vaccines. This seems to be a problem with this Administration.
