Unforgiven Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I mean Trump was attacked for being not legit, how legit is a president that has no real record of accomplishing anything, being a racist..hiding in his basement, having no real campaign outside of "i'm not the other guy" and being a career kid hair sniffer and groper? I have to admit he knows ice cream. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 ....can't we come to a logical, reasonable assessment in that the "Biden support" is actually the "anybody but Trump" support?......hell if it was Hunter as the candidate versus Joe, the polls would be a Biden IDENTICAL as THE candidate.....hatred, foment and vitriol for an INDIVIDUAL versus policies will always win out.....that's the fickle nature segment of the electorate.......tell me why there are 25-40+ year "career" politicians, parasitic in nature for the sole purpose of self aggrandizement and personal enrichment?.....the fickle know the name but do not have a clue on challengers' platforms.....the BIGGEST laugher is proposing term limits......we'll find Hoffa's remains before THAT ever happens......

snafu Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yeah, I made a point about this a while ago. If the candidate won't commit to discussing key agenda policies until after the election, telling reporters that people don't deserve to know his position (i.e., court packing) then how does he have a mandate to govern? I was told to go look at his party platform. You know, the one that says he's for the green new deal, until the debate when he said he wasn't for the green new deal. Fracking...not fracking; hey, whatever -- not Trump, amirite!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really mean unqualified it'd be for his complete lack of experience in government service. I doubt Trump supporters would feel different if Biden wins without the popular vote. As for qualifications he is the former Vice President and was in the Senate before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for qualifications he is the former Vice President and was in the Senate before that. Delaware has a total population in 2019 of 973,764. There are 632,000 registered voters. 300,000 are registered Democrats (47.46%) 181,700 are registered Republican (28.75%) I mean, pretty much any monkey with a "D" in front of its name could be Senator from Delaware. And as for Delaware being representative of any meaningful part of the rest of the country, I don't think so. Biden was the water-carrier for the party in the Senate for decades. Doesn't make him qualified to be President. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snafu Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I’m saying that 47 years in Washington doesn’t make him qualified. It just means he’s been in D.C. for a helluva long time, and if he were actually qualified, any number of his prior attempts to become President would have succeeded before 2020. He was thoroughly and repeatedly rejected by his own party when he ran for President. Even this time around, his enthusiasm polling numbers are super low. The only reason he’s got a chance this year is Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he means that if you're in a state that tends to heavily go one way your votes can still matter and shave off a few EC votes for the other candidate. Works better for high population states that have a lot of votes so the percentage you have to clear is lower. Here in Wyoming we'd have to get at least 1/3 of the votes to even get 1 EC vote going in the other direction.

I’ve been over this ground already (and I’ve never been called an idiot by you yet 🤓 so shaddapp). Odd how the two states that do it my way are underweight. The two senate seats will still help the underweight states in my world. Those two go to the statewide winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Years ago I was mad at DC Tom for calling me an idiot. Then I realized why should I be mad at someone I probably will never meet and at the time was on the other side of the country from me. I realized it was a badge of honor and I was a member of the club. For the relatively newer people Tom has mellowed. Really he has.
