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

The video was 60 seconds long and showed none of the prime time speakers that I referred to.

Trump Jr was in the video. Guilfoyle was in the video. Who do you mean was being optimistic?

Then why are people leaving in droves?

And coming in, in droves. 2017-2019 500,000+ moved to CA. And, yes, 649,00 left. So, why are they coming in? Because of the opportunity. Why are they leaving? Because it's expensive.

LA and San Francisco have become almost unliveable in the last 20 years because the Democrats thought it would be a good idea to give mentally ill people the right to set up camp in public and shoot heroin on people's doorsteps.

No that's not why people are leaving. They're leaving because they can't afford to live there.

Job numbers under Trump were the best they'd ever been before, you know, a once in a century pandemic screwed up the world economy.

it IS the economy, stupid, not it WAS the economy, stupid. No excuse. Go get in a food line if you think it's so great under the #IMPOTUS.

With regard to COVID, it baffles me how nobody understands that the US is a federal republic. The first responsibility for acting on COVID always rested on state governors. The only significant actions the US President could take was to shut down incoming air travel from foreign countries and use Federal resources to supplement state resources where necessary both of which he did (as acknowledged by many Democrat governors.) When things were at their worst in New York, even Andrew Cuomo acknowledged how obliging Trump was. It was never Trump's job to implement specific lockdown measures in states.

And mobilize testing -which he did, then cancelled. And do an orderly job of bringing people back into the country once his bans were in place (especially from Europe where the infection that mostly devastated the Northeast originated.) Nope, chaos. Oh, and have had enough resources on-hand, like he'd been warned about for years until he disbanded the team doing the warning. And used the DPA right away, not after a couple months. And and and

We understand the US is a Federal republic. In times of disaster, the Federal government can make resources available with a disaster declaration. Did that happen promptly for the earliest, hardest-hit states?

By the way, seven out of the top ten states in terms of death rates per capita are run by Democrats. All the hysteria over Florida, Texas and Georgia was fake news. Those states were 17th, 15th and 20th respectively. Meanwhile, Cuomo got away with shipping elderly folk back into nursing homes after they tested positive.

Death rates per what? population, or cases? And, timing? NY got hit first. In terms of absolute number of deaths, NY, NJ, CA, TX, FL, GA, MA in descending order.

Deficits? Unfortunately neither party cares about deficits and its a non-issue for the American people.

It was in the 2016 tGOP platform. Since the 2020 tGOP platform is the same thing, then, it is an issue.

Another Trump political move - now the CDC are saying people who were in close contact with a confirmed Covid-19 case now don't need to be tested unless they are vulnerable. Doesn't sound like a sensible public health measure as it allows the virus to spread unchecked. It appears the change has been forced on them by the Trump administration. Trump has been promising to reduce testing because the high number of cases makes him look bad. Politicizing another independent government agency and the GOP and Trump fanboys stand by.

Is there anything he won’t corrupt??

Why is it he's not been playing football?

Because he lost his starting job at SF and decided to become a distraction rather than a backup?

Maybe read the post again. Biden has a history of lying about his role in the Civil Rights movement. In the interview he began to speak about his role in the Civil Rights movement again but suddenly stopped, which has all the hallmarks that he given he has lied so much about that topic, he was all set to do so again but reigned himself in just in time.
.

I assume you have proof of all these lies? Though I don't know why I'm asking, you refuse to answer any questions re: your posts or qualify your assertions with real evidence.

Biden seems to be hunkered down avoiding everyone. Bizarre carry on for a guy hoping to be president

That's only a reasonable statement if you've been hiding under a rock and subscribe to the idea that if you can't see something, it's not there. That kind of thinking usually goes away while we're toddlers.

Not sure if its been mentioned. Trump wants them to do drug tests before the first debate.

That attitude is the problem though. Trump's been treating this like one of his crummy TV shows. Politics is supposed to be serious business, not lowest common denominator entertainment.

thats politics these days,media run everything, and btw i meant cnn would ask trump hard questions likewise fox with biden

that wouldn't be fair. Trump has a very long experience of taking drugs so would have a distinct advantage.

No, Thats what you "thought" he was going to do, he stumbled over something and you pounced on it and decided thats what he was going to say without a shred of evidence to back up your claim.

What a nonsense post. I was speaking about Biden's lies and you parse that as me defending Trump? Seems to me Trump is living in your head rent free. Maybe try and defend Biden just once without all the usual 'They're all just Trumpers defending their leader!!' guff.

Why have you never mentioned the fact Trumps told over 20,000 lies?

This.

Biden talking to CNN or Trump talking to Fox is worthless. At least Trump though fields questions from CNN and other MSM journalists at pressers.

I thought the Chris Wallace interview on Fox that Trump did was very enlightening
