Trump Destroys Democrat Platform In Rose Garden Speech

Agreed. He needs a handler.

His ego won't allow that. He'd take any advice or direction as criticism and then fire the person. It's too bad, he's his own worst enemy. I'll vote for him 10/10 times and support most of his policies but I can't watch his pressers....he's a complete embarrassment when he's in front of a microphone or keyboard.
 
You ARE NOT voting for Joe Biden. He is an old man with dementia and/or Alzheimer's. You would be voting for the puppet masters pulling the strings. Look at his VP pick when it is made, if Biden gets elected they will be President before the end of his term.
I think this is actually the strategy...DNC didn't think swiss-cheese-brain-Joe would get this far and now they're like "oh f***"....new strategy is to get some ultra liberal vagina or more highly melanated individual that's fairly well polished to run with him and then JB will be pressured or forced by the deep state to step down after the election "due to health reasons".
 
There is no democrat platform besides hate
“Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.” — Winston Churchill, 1948

Might as well just insert "the Democrat platform" instead of socialism.
 
When you have people like Leo Terrell going on Fox and saying that the democrats are off the rails, that's a sign that the left have serious problems. When guys like Leo are agreeing with the conservative arguments, not a good sign for the dems.
 
Trump is the only one trying to bring the troops (from the 'stan)home. It could be done quicker and better but the D's are blocking him now.
 
I'm not overly fond of the person but, think he's been a pretty good President. I'll take a person that says what he thinks over one that says what they think you want to hear and then does the opposite. Trump's better for the country than(fill in the "D.") Haven't seen any U.S. Navel vessels boarded and seized lately.
 
He's got to change the narrative on the panic-porn about Covid-19 RIGHT NOW or he's done. The data is in. Even today, 45% of all covid deaths occurred in Nursing homes where.06% of the U.S. pop lives. 25% of all covid deaths TO THIS DAY occurred in the state of New York. 0.04% of the whole U.S. has died of Covid-19 to date. 0.04%!!!!!

We're all hanging on for a vaccine which may never come and we probably don't even need!!! Why do I say we probably don't need it??? Because WE DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE DEVELOPED ANTIBODIES BECAUSE YOUR GOVERNMENT WON'T TELL YOU!!!

LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES!!!!! The problem is that he's going right along with all the lies right now. He's trying to say the lockdowns saved lives. THEY DID NOT, and by going along with this lie he's kicking his own base to the curb. His key to winning this election ALL hinges on OPENING THE COUNTRY UP AND KEEPING IT OPEN!

Front and center is ensuring the schools open up this fall. You heard it here first...if the schools are forced to open up in the fall he stands at least a marginal chance of being re-elected. If they're not, forget it. He's done.
 
I support the second amendment, but..
I support Trump, but does he support us or his ego?
Supporting our country is one thing, doing what's right for it is another.
 
Mr Trump has had his chance. He is just like all the others, except more outwardly mentally ill. Time for him to go. Bye bye whack job.

This. I'm utterly confused why anyone, anywhere, would think Trump is for them or their well-being.

Its like the only thing he hasn't utterly ruined is 2A, and people think that means anything. The only reason he hasn't screwed over gun owners is because of political expediency. That's obvious just by watching him screw everyone else.

Let me put this another way with a thought experiment: Trump is behind Biden right now in every external and internal poll. Blah blah blah polls, I know. Still, he's behind. Tomorrow, his aides tell him he can secure a guaranteed win by renewing the AWB. Forget even close. All he has to do is come out for an AWB, and people forgive him for his missteps and everything else.

Do you honestly think he would hesitate?

That's Donald Trump. You can be Republican, Conservative, Christian... all those things, and still have good leaders. He... is not any of those things, nor a good leader.

Do you really think that Trump is so stupid as McCain and Romney
to think that if only he sucks for this or that Leftish faux issue
that the Donk base will suddenly develop a Strange New Respect and vote for him?

Because McCain and Romney were just that flavor of ignoramus.

I mean, yes. I emphatically believe that.

After all, Trump has changed party affiliation 5 times, spending most of that time as a democrat, including the years Giuliani was mayor of NYC.

In a 2004 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Trump said, "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat. It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans."

Also... this is the guy who accepts "no responsibility," and did a sudden and complete 180 on masks as soon as his aides finally hammered into him he was losing the election to himself.

At least GW was 'the decider.' Love or hate his policies, they were consistent and had American interests- not his own- at their core.
 
Just imagine if he got crossover votes without swerving to the middle...
...oh wait, he did that in 2016.

There was no COVID in 2016. No one likes a crisis. Just ask Carter and Bush Sr.

And it's obvious. Doesn't matter where you look, what news you are reading, they all say the same thing: Biden's sitting back and letting Trump do all the work for him. And it's working.

It works because Trump isn't a leader. He just likes the spotlight. He loved it when he was part of the USFL and sued the NFL. He loved it during the election runs. Everyone loves to hear the adulation of a crowd, and Trump shows- over and over- that's all he really cares about. His main base states are suffering enormous spikes in COVID cases. That's a problem. While he's busy sending federal law enforcement to Portland... he is doing *nothing* about COVID and has resisted bipartisan (!) efforts to increase funding for testing and tracing.

For every photo of in front of a church, there's a nearly incoherent rambling about how Biden will probably win because, IN HIS WORDS, "some people don't love me, maybe." That's just disappointing on so many levels.
 
@Spider Jerusalem

Give us a list of the ways Biden would handle COVID differently and better than Trump. For the sake of simplicity we’ll even pretend he doesn’t have dementia and is operating in his political “prime.”

Hey, I'm not defending Biden as a candidate. However, there is a (growing) body of evidence he wouldn't have *mismanaged* it as badly.

- Trump called it a hoax (wasn't), called it nothing (except it really is), said it would go away (it didn't), said the flu was worse (it isn't), said the only reason we have more cases is because we test more (not how that works), said we have the lowest fatality rate (we don't), and said masks were being used to make him look stupid (nope).

Biden said nothing of the kind. He called it a crisis, and wore a mask.

And thats my point. I have *no idea* how Biden would handle it. None!

But I *am* of the strong opinion that pretty much *anyone* would have handled it better than a self-aggrandizing, narcissistic New Yorker who has spent his entire life making everything about him.

No Democrat administration would have "managed" it at all.
Sporadic news articles every few weeks, buried in the Science/Health section.
No 24x7 pant-s'ing horror; damned near no news coverage whatsoever.
 
There not ever having been a crisis of this magnitude, that has killed over 140,000 people in 6 months, that is speculation. There is no guarantee Republicans are any more capable (*cough* Katrina *cough*).

But what does that even matter? He didn't even *try*. If he had tried and failed, sure... people would be on him like they were on Bush over Katrina. But at least supporters could say, "He tried. Didn't do great, but tried."

Didn't even try, though. It's too much *work* for the guy who ignored reports the Russians were issuing bounties on soldiers. Too much *focus* for the guy busy giving a shit about NFL statements.

He can't even get out of the way of his own health experts. At least back them, then take credit! Nope. He has to contradict them. Surgeon General was begging on Fox for people to wear masks.
 
(The pudding-proof in the event of a Biden win will be how many femtoseconds
it takes for the story to disappear from the MSM after Election Day).

That's a very interesting point. I guess it depends what news comes in the first 100 days.

Remember how Regan rode a populist wave when the hostages came home? The ones Carter had spent a year negotiating for?

Whomever wins, if a vaccine comes out early next year, he'll ride that wave to glory.

Trump would crow and say, "See! I made that happen!" (He wouldn't have, but that doesn't matter at all).

Biden would likely take a different approach, but he would also find a way to take credit.

Conversely, if there is no vaccine, no clear direction from leadership, and things continue as they are? Regardless of who wins, they'll be burned in effigy.

So I guess we just have to wait and see what happens.
 
I see Spider bringing up Carter and HW but the HUGE difference in those 2 cases were that Reagan and Clinton were absolute superstars and studs at the time. Biden is the epitome of the "swamp" and a total do nothing politician. If the left had a rising star, I might agree somewhat but unfortunately for them, they have about the worst candidate you could possibly have

Yes, that is true. But Carter and HW also weren't as *reviled* as Trump is. So while Biden is certainly less 'studly', Trump is also less... everything Carter or HW were. Carter was affable, HW was dignified. Clinton had to work for it. Reagan did too. And he was a superstar, I agree.

Trump isn't a superstar. And loyal supporters don't total up to the requisite votes. It is always up to swing voters, who have a choice between what they have seen every single day from Trump, and the bland gruel of Biden. With markets shuddering, jobs being lost, China flexing its muscle, and disease running rampant on our soil... bland starts to look tasty to some. Sad, but factual.
 
Plus comparing Katrina to Covid is apples and oranges. Katrina pretty much was pinpointed in one state, much easier to handle from a federal response. Covid is nationwide pretty much crippling all 50. Much harder to deal with logistically. Trump definitely needed the Governors to step up and do their jobs

Biden also didn't have the weight of a $20 trillion economy hanging over his head. This caught everyone by surprise. The man is surrounded by venom. In the media, In corp america, In Congress, In DC and in his own cabinet at times. Public speaking ability aside, he gets a TON of latitude from me. Last chance we have...
