    No, that poll has him winning, others have him ahead of where he was in 2016 in the same timeframe.

    Fivethirtyeight have some merit but they were wrong last time and nate silver never owned up to it.

    They're within the margin of error, so technically no they were 'wrong'

    Trump will bring up Hunter Biden many times in the debate and that will break Joe (if he turns up). It doesn't matter what guff Biden throws at the president it will be like water off a ducks back. Can't see how Joe will function without a teleprompter tbh.

    Well agree to disagree but i don’t believe convicted felons should be allowed vote at all.

    Why? I thought all people were equal in America? If someone makes a mistake in their 20's are you saying they should never be allowed to vote even though they have paid their debt to society?

    There was absolutely no wrong doings of any of Biden's people in Ukraine, that was the conclusion of a GOP lead investigation.
    However the trump spawn have been banned for running charities and also Eric is due to appear before hearings in to Tax fraud

    Trump has shown time and time again he's a man child. He's unbelievably thin skinned and cannot deal with any sort of criticism real or imagined. He's a bully who folds when exposed on his own.

    Your posts become more and more pathetic as it gets closer to the election. You've got that in common with your glorious leader at least.

    Yes. If i get a conviction here I rightly cant go to some countries and I believe worldwide if you are convicted of a felony that you should lose the right to vote.

    And before you start I'm bundling that in with that I don't believe tax evasion or non payment should be felonies anywhere either.

    Don't go down that rabbit hole with Eric. You wouldn't want to live in the society Eric craves.

    Why? Because the Trump family is up to its neck in it?


    You seriously think that a 20 year old kid that commits a non violent felony deserves to lose their right to vote for the rest of their lives?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 466 ✭✭DangerScouse


    I wonder will Joe shut down his campaign today early yet again. He needs to start bringing some energy to his tilt at the office.

    Come on mannnnnnnn!!!

    My belief that tax evasion shouldnt be a felony has nothing to do with trump....

    I think a 20 year old adult that makes a big enough f*ckup to warrant a felony charge should never be allowed vote again yes.

    If Trump were to be beaten there is no way he'd leave the White House peacefully. The groundwork has already been done.

    You are nuts if you think he would try and stay in the White House if he loses.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 22,906 Mod ✭✭✭✭Brian?


    Trump has spent a reported 200 mil on florida
    The israel ties are favourable to the considerable amoun of older jews. The cubans love him, multiple polls put him winning / way ahead of biden vs similar ones in 2016 v hilary

    And despite all that, Biden has a narrow lead.

    Biden isn’t exactly pro Palestinian either. He’s good friends with Bibi Nethenyahu.

    Its like ‘hes going to start loads of wars’ , its just a liberal fantasy that has no basis in reality

    I’d be delighted to hear your analysis of what they got wrong.

    I'm not sure why some people require so much energy from candidates as if it is more important than policy

    So then Al Capone shouldn't have been jailed then?

    9 days off in a month, that's concerning.

    If posts with no content or the same boll9xology repeated page after page is an issue, this thread would be closed a long time.

    Yeah whatever. Any evidence of these multiple polls. Here are the polls RCP had 4 years ago.link.

    For polls with sampling period endng in September to 21/9. They had a tie in one with Trump ahead in 4 and Clinton ahead in three.

    Currently, for similar polls we have a tie in three with Trump ahead in two and Biden ahead in seven.

    All these polls are up on the RCP site for anybody to see. I don't know what you are looking at or how you are twisting reality in your head, but just pop up the evidence for the rest of us. Or give us a break and stop posting fantasy as fact.

    I'm genuinely concerned about Joe's energy levels. He needs to get there and win over voters. Are you happy with his performance levels?

    Report button is available if you don't think it should be allowed BTW.

    Thanks

    We all know that wasnt why al capone was put in prison, they just used the only tool they had. A terrible argument

    That’s not analysis, that’s a statement. An incorrect one.

    They didn’t get it wrong, they predicted the possibility of outcomes based on the data available.

    What do you believe was wrong with their methodology.

    What did you get the warning for again?

    You seriously think that a 20 year old kid that commits a non violent felony deserves to lose their right to vote for the rest of their lives?

    Why? what is the link between a felony charge and not having the ability to make an informed decision?

    Would all felonies carry this? Level D, for example is
    Some examples of Class D felonies in Connecticut are:

    Carrying a handgun without a permit

    You think that is enoughto remove a person constitutional right to a vote?

    What, where was that said. Can you quote the post you are basing that on?

    Joe doesn’t need to campaign. Trump is out there winning the election for Joe.

    Spending as little time in public is the responsible thing to do. He’s a man in his 70s during a global pandemic. He’s leading by example. Trump is out holding rallies that turn into super spreaders of coronavirus.
