2020 the battle of the septuagenarians - Trump vs Biden, Part 2

You're wrong I have watched it. And it is an optimistic vision that says that people like Tim Scott and Nicki Haley and that Cuban immigrant can overcome great odds in order to build a better life for themselves and their children. If the Republicans can keep the orange guy off Twitter and keep telling stories like that or the next couple of months of what America is and can continue to be, Biden doesn't stand a chance.

Yes, many speakers lambasted the Democrats for allowing rabble rousers to wreck their cities unimpeded for the last few months. And as I've said Kimberly Guilfoyle made a fool of herself by screaming her head off (forgetting there was no crowd) about how Democrats have turned California, some of the most beautiful land on planet earth, into a hell-hole.

It was an optimistic vision of America juxtaposed with evidence of Democratic mismanagement of the parts of the country they control. Naturally the media never bothered to focus on the positive material except to call Tim Scott and Herschel Walker "Uncle Toms".

The above video was the opposite of optimism or reality for that matter.

The national polls were quite correct. A few state polls were wrong however. That combined with the indifference and complacency of Clinton supporters lead to the unexpected result.

What's the point in electing Trump again? I mean if parts of the country are getting wrecked, as you say, then this President is not very good is he. Did we see cities burning under Obama? Did we see cities burning under Clinton or Bush? No. Then why is it happening under this President? I know Trumpists are desperately trying to focus the blame elsewhere but this is happening under him.

But when AOC or Ilhan Omar overcome the odds to build a better life for themselves, they are insulted and derided by Republicans as horrible people who hate their country. More hypocritical rubbish.

Trump is a man of the people, AOC is an elitist. That is seriously the view of many Republicans.

What an absolute s--tshow from the Democrats in Wisconsin.

Yesterday, they refused Federal Assistance to manage the rioting in Kenosha. The city board of Kenosha requested substantial NG support (1500 NG) to help protect the city. The Democrat governor refused and sent 200 men.

City burning to the ground, Democrats pandering to rioters, now people are dead. Today, the Govenor accepted substantial federal assistance. Even Don Lemon is calling for the Democrats to speak against the riots.

If people don't think these images will be beamed into the homes of people across the US in the next few months, they are asleep.

Why do you think "Democrats" should be blamed for the shootings tonight?

Similar f00k ups by Cuomo caused Covid to be much worse in NY and hence the rest of the USA

You what?

AOC was told to go back to her country (this is her country)

Kamala Harris was accused of not being born here

etc.

They're a bunch of sleazebags.

We're all seeing the images of the shooter calmly walking amongst and past police officers while holding his weapon and nobody challenging him.

Takes some neck to look at the situation and blame the Democrats.

"Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, an Illinois resident who was just charged with first-degree murder of two people last night in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This teen, whose social media history is full of misogyny and white supremacy, had easy access to an AR-15."

Trumps America.

"Clearly, this is all the fault of the Demonrats"

Rittenhouse sounds like the kind of guy that the Young Republicans would be interested in.

People shot by one of those fine 2nd Amendment armed eejits. Takes some absolute neck to blame the democrats for that.

Was Farrakhan there? I must have missed it.

What anti-semites were there?

They'd never be stupid enough to put Farrakhan there but they continually tolerate people who support him and/or say anti-semitic things themselves. People like Corey Booker, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour (who the Biden campaign distanced themselves from after her speech and then promptly apologised for doing so).

In other words, it's better for all that Trump stays in his bunker. Got it.

He doesn't need to stay there in order to boost his chances, but he does need to be disciplined. Polls have continually shown that when people hear from him less or when he stays on teleprompter, or when he's abroad, not only does his unfavorability decrease but his favourability actually increases. This is why his most well received speeches have consistently been foreign policy speeches given abroad. Because Trump is less ensconced in the personality-politics of Twitter when he gives these speeches.

I would say the correlation is less to do with him not saying anything and more to do with him not saying stupid things.

Is that the same Nikki Haley that excoriated Trump for using 'language I don't teach my own children to use?' Or the one who abruptly abandoned her post as governor to be an ambassador only to swiftly disappear from that job because she was about to be investigated for serious ethics violations?

Sooo??
She was governor of SC for six years before becoming UN ambassador and she was succeeded by her own handpicked lt. governor. It wasn't like she just abandoned her state.
This seems to be a favourite tactic among some people. Accuse the person of various forms of misbehaviour (without evidence) as a substitute for an actual argument against their position.

Haley was born to Indian immigrants and grew up in the Deep South and managed to become governor of South Carolina and we're supposed to believe this is a deeply racist country?

Scott is the party's token minority senator, they will cast him off as a RINO the minute he steps off the party line.

Wow, he's a black Republican, therefore he's a token. How racist. Yes, I'm sure all the racist hicks in South Carolina elected a black man to the Senate because they wanted a token.

Keep your head buried in the sand and ignore what Democrat strategists are now saying.

Democrats should be talking about Covid19, healthcare, economy, racial division - they shouldn't be running defence for groups they supported who are now burning and looting cities.

So thats a no then?
