Biden v Dump 1: If not now, when? If not us, who?

[burd]

The numbers will tighten. Joe's gonna gaffe a few times between now and November.

They will tighten, and Joe will gaffe up. But dump is doubling down on the same stupidity that is losing him support in his own party and traditionally strong Red districts. And Covid is gonna get worse in a lot of places while the rest of the world is on the way back. His base is blind, but we don't care about them. He does, as he needs the adulation at a time when other people are refusing to give it. He's powerless to stop playing to those who praise him most, and his handlers can't overcome that.

I'm cautious by nature and am of the belief that we Dems never really came to grips with why all those Rs and former BO supporters went dump. Still, people don't like death, and it's affecting their parents, spouses, and kids. And if he puts their kids closer to the bulls eye, which it appears he is willing to do, he will pay.

Fingers still crossed, of course, and I won't change my socks.

They may tighten but not by much. Trump has alienated everyone but the cops and racists at this point. And he is doubling down on it. Unless Biden pulls a Louie C.K. whilst in Blackface no gaffe will cover up for the daily gaffes of the Trump Administration. Even his supporters interviewed by the NY Times are getting tired of him. (I really read that article...I was shocked! ;-) )

Trump will gain back Texas and Arizona (though it will be closer than it has any right to be) but until he finds a way to stumble into a coherent policy on COVID he is in trouble. And if he continues his quest to end ObamaCare...then he might not gain any of them back and he just kneecapped the Senate GOP. (they are in trouble anyways but just cant quit him cause of the fundraising)

A lot can happen between now and November...but if the other teams coach is going to constantly call deep passes with a QB who has zero accuracy and no arm strength it doesnt matter if they are only down 15 points at the half the game is over. This would be a Truman like come back and Truman did more in one month of his public service than Trump could do in 5 lifetimes so he had built up equity. Trump has a bunch of Cletus' and Jeb2020s who will move on to the next conspiracy as soon as Trump is out of there.

At this point the only way for the Nazis to win without flat out altering the ballot results are:

1. A major war

2. Baiting us into a response that alienates the average voter

The only way I can see the former happening is if they start it, so I would be very worried right now if I was Venezuela or Iran.

The only way I can see the latter coming off is if they incite truly massive violence as a response. A few fires in Minneapolis didn't do it; they need the city cores of New York and Los Angeles in flames.

They need a Reichstag fire.

Be less like Glen Mason in the 4th quarter and more like PJ Fleck.

Portland may already be burning.

I doubt “non-uniformed, non-badged officers pulling random people into unmarked vehicles and arresting them” is gonna play well with folks.

[dxmnkd316]

folks

This word requires further definition.


Edit: But what's going to happen is one of these protestors is going to fight back and someone is going to get killed. Who and how are the only details to be worked out.

Gonna be interesting to see how the dumpers react to federal alphabet agents taking people away who are voicing their objection to government policy.

Yeah, I know: they are removing terrorists from our midst.

Dear Santa,

This message may be rejected because it is both 1) In the wrong thread and 2) before opening day. But I've always been told by wise people that it is important to be on time and even better to be early. So, here's my 2020 Christmas wish list:

1 Joe moves into the White House;

2. Ruth lives and graces the bench with her presence for many more years; and

3. The Senate.

You don't live here. Those gifts would keep on giving in ways you can only imagine.

“Non-bootlicking, non-Trump voters.”

“This race is either a tie or a toss-up, no matter how you look at it,” Trump 2020 campaign senior adviser Jason Miller says to @smerconish, despite the steady decline of the President’s national poll numbers.

I think Politico found their next source ;-)

I really feel it is time for the non-Trumpettes to start playing hardball. Call the idiots out whenever they spew. Challenge their “facts.“
If they walk the streets with guns, do the same. Let them see the 2nd amendment in action. They are not going to like seeing “those that don’t look like us” carrying. Some will say that would result in deaths, well, so is the lack of masking up.
I am at a car dealership for service as I write this with a trumpette sitting across from me, watching some right wing propaganda on his phone, volume up loud, no mask on. (only one). Through eye contact alone, for now, he has received my message: Respect my space or else. Any private property, kick them out if they don’t follow the rules. Forcefully and swiftly.
No more being nice and proper. People
are dying due to their idiocy and it’s time to quit being complacent or else we have to share the blame.

Yeah!! Show them what they are doing is wrong by doing it ourselves.

Educated, wealthy, white suburbs in OH moving to the Dems. This is a repeat of what happened in VA. The GOP are running out of the uneducated, despite attempting to grow them.

I can see this happening in NC, MI, PA, TX, AZ. And along with their votes they bring their money -- that demo used to be the flyover country club white middle class Vonnegut wrote about. They aren't Nazis, they just want their property values to stay high and their taxes to stay low.
