Trumps only hope is he recovers quickly and get's a last minute surge. Can't see the sympathy vote happening much.
I think the overriding thing is that Trump will lose his Teflon Don image and his whole bluster over covid will now fall in a hole. Hopefully that wins Biden a few swing voters. Biden's already well ahead in a number of the key states.
Never overestimate voters though. I still feel the pain of 2016.

i dont play the game myself, but its why countries have elections, no ?It's socialism or capitalism and many countries combine the two in varying ratios successfully. America has socialism - army, post office, Medicaid etc .
Australia has a bit more socialism with easier access to health care, higher minimum wages, but it's still predominately capitalist. Our right wing party is in many ways to the left of democrats.
America is to the right of Australia and much of Europe and would have to go a long way left before becoming socialist.

Nope, that's just you choosing to inform yourself by CNN. If Yu actually listen to what he says instead of a 20 second sound bite, you opinion would not be so terribly incorrect.
Take the media out of the picture and just look at the words of Biden and the words and tweets of Trump. If you can say that Biden is the hater out of those two then good for you. Come on man.

Polls initially said Biden won the debate around 60 to 40. I saw an interesting discussion that often people's view changes in the following few days. They said in 76 the Ford Carter debate was a draw but when people thought about it, and with the media picking up on some of Fords mistakes, Carter went ahead.
I think this could happen this time. People are initially bamboozled by the noise and chaos but they are now left with remembering that:
- Biden attempted to give direct answers to the people and was reasonably strong; and
- Trump had been a noisy jerk, who says he wouldn't accept a losing election result, and who was reluctant to distance himself from white supremiscists.
So in that sense maybe these debates are good.

For a classic ACDC you need Bon and Malcolm but it's a bit difficult to get that lineup. This one is fairly impressive and as long as Angus is there it's still ACDC.
Not a huge fan but still have my old copy of High Voltage. Has a good cover of Baby Please don't go.

Kayleigh McEnany, the current White House spokeswoman, addressed this very issue in a recent press conference and pointed out several instances in the past by date where Donald Trump had condemned so-called "white supremacy". After that the press continued to press her about it. It was a disgusting display of PTSD by the press, like many on this thread have displayed. I have personally heard a montage of sound bites where he had condemned "white supremacy" many times and long before the debate. Wallace's question was disgustingly out of place and some kind of stupid, partisan transparent attempt to manipulate the debate.
The problem as I see it is that Trump comes across as an opportunist rather than a 'good man' like Biden who has standards. Some like that about Trump as they think his focus on opportunities, rather than on some liberal idea of doing good, is good for the country. Others see it as appalling.
Trump seems to circle around this issue, and avoid it, or give a 'both sides' or 'the other side is worse' answer if he can. Rarely does he give a clear straight denunciation like Biden.

I stayed there in June of this year. The first customers there upon reopening.
Agoda has it listed as a 5 star. The only thing 5 star about it is the view. The beach is only decent at high tide and only in a certain area or else you’re walking on rocks and shells. Two swimming pools. One is very nice and the other mediocre. Unless you get the golf cart, you’re walking up VERY STEEP hills, especially from the top pool to the top (above it) rooms where we were staying. No safety measures working in the cable car when it broke on us. We had to scream for someone to hear us to send help. Breakfast is very poor. Nothing around so without a car, you’re not going anywhere. I wouldn’t go back, no matter what the price. We got it for a deal at 100 bucks US a night and I don't think it was worth that. They deserve bad reviews, but probably not what this guy did. I purposely didn't post a review as I know, as seen here, what can happen.
I'll sound like an apologist for the hotel but would like to give a counterpoint to this opinion.
You are right the hotel has an amazing outlook. There is a full sea outlook from all rooms in the hotel unless you are on the ground floor in the cheapest rooms.
The cheapest rooms are about 3 1/2 star but I think priced accordingly. Huge rooms with that stunning beach outlook and many are seconds from the beach. The top rooms are expensive but they are 5 star.
The beach does have some rocks at some parts but you work out where to swim and it is pretty and sandy.
I think both pools are stunning with the sea outlooks so I am not sure which you didn't like.
The breakfast when I have stayed was close to the best I had at any hotel and the best in Koh Chang. Salads and other vegetables on site. Maybe the buffet's now gone because of covid.
I was in the cable car when it stopped once and had to call security on the phone and they got it going. Maybe the phone didn't work when you were there.
You mention the steep hills, but there is the cable car, and they are happy to take you up in a mini car, and there are winding paths that are not that steep in beautiful forest with birds, flowers, monkeys and butterflies. It is actually built into the forest thus the old huge trees. A large waterfall in low season. It is surely the best garden in Koh Chang.
You can get a taxi for 50 baht easily to the nearest big town, they come in a few minutes, and you can walk there in 5 to 10 minutes along the beach at low tide. They have a few free transfers as well.
Has an amazing spa and gym.
Not saying your opinion is wrong. Let the readers decide.

He should have responded after posting such an over the top thing and getting multiple warnings from the hotel.
Despite that the penalty doesn't fit the crime.
Stayed at the hotel and it's a beauty.

served to make protests, BLM delegitimized in eyes of general public. Doesn't take lots of these usually young, usually white suburban dolts to shift focus and give those opposed to dealing with issues of race and justice and out.
Antifa couldn't be more in service of white racists if they were on the payroll of KKK
There is that line where good intentions become bad deeds and it is frustrating to the left cause.
I think a fair proportion of the violence and looting isn't a particular group or affiliation but just opportunistic youths out to cause some havoc or steal a pair of the latest Nikes. Fox News would have it that any bad outcome is the Antifa boogeyman and Antifa, and other lefties, will be the puppeteer to Joe Biden's puppet and destroy the suburbs.

I'm wondering there is going to be a Kamala Harris/Mike Pence debate, because IMO Harris would chew Pence up and spit him out. My betting is the Republicans would beg off.
No point to having another presidential debate if Trump is just going to interrupt constantly.
It's on October 7. October 8 9am I think Thai time

Since the BLM have reveled themselves to be marxist , anti capitalist , anti police , anti semites , many people have distanced themselves from the group
From what I see some people distance themselves from BLM because sometimes their arguments lack a bit of subtlety or nuance in relation to things like Defunding the Police and cases like the Breonna Taylor case.
Some may see them as a bit antipolice but that's a simplistic and not accurate view of things. The other descriptors you have made above are way over the top.

I did. I think some of Trumps ideas are so out there e.g. denying climate change, and not accepting election results, and just general interuptions, such that what you call bias is just the moderator wanting to have a sensible debate.

I am a Trump supporter, and I am not happy with the moderator more then anything else. Wallace has a real knack for asking questions with an implication embedded inside the question which is not true, therefore he put Donald Trump in the position with having to argue the merits of the question itself, before answering the question. This in itself is a dirty trick.
As for Donald Trumps performance, I am never happy with the lack of precision in his language, but think he did OK. I think he should have gone after Biden a lot more on the entire Russia gate conspiracy spitting out the most current information. I was pleased he put out information on Hunter Biden as this can now go to the fact checkers.
I think Biden did well in the debate, better then expected. I do not think there is a single undecided voter in the United States despite claims to the contrary. I mean seriously? An undecided voter? There may be some who decide to stay home and not vote based on a lack of enthusiasm for Biden.
Getting out the vote. That is what matters here.
I know its hard to imagine someone not having made a decision either way on Trump after 4 years. I suppose there are many people who just live there lives working tough jobs and aren't into politics like the likes of us.

I preface the following remarks with stating, I am not a citizen of the United States.
I also preface the below remarks by saying, they apply wherever, not just and uniquely to the United States and it's upcoming election for the Presidency.
I detest those who harp on about 'fair share'. I detest those who call it 'gaming the system'. Presumably, the tax authorities were satisfied that the correct tax was paid at the time.
Granted that perhaps the system needs review and possibly changing, but it is the system, not the person.
Get a life.
There are a few issues in addition to paying your fair share.
To address your point when you lodge a tax return it is self assessment i.e. not checked at the time but possibly audited later. He is now being audited. So no one was satisfied as such at the time he lodged.
There is in fact the likelihood that he has not declared income and deductions appropriately and could have a huge tax bill.
There is the separate fact that a big part of the reason he paid no tax was because he is not a successful businessman.
There is the fact that he is loaded with debt and that has huge national security and other implications.
So it is not just the issue of paying your fair share.

If you believe Trump paid millions of tax on his 2016 tax return then good for you. He tried to go around it by saying he paid millions in tax in general but when cornered he said he paid millions on his 2016 tax return and he almost certainly lied. Surely he could show us that part of his tax return showing the tax payable only. No? Yeah thought so.

My 2 cents is that Biden does make me squirm sometimes and I think he could've done a better job answering some questions. Overall though he duked it out with Trump and did OK.
Trump does have a force of personality and is good and getting a message across, but he also came across as a bit bullying, annoying, and sometimes just silly e.g. not willing to accept the election result and on climate change.
I think people will come out of this feeling there are two flawed candidates but that Biden is a better man and a better person for the future of America.

This case is strange. No one comes out looking good.
The guest seems to have had bad manners and was a tad vindictive but surely had the right to post as he saw things. The slavery term is a bit over the top but he might have seen it that way. The issue is did he go to these lengths because he was embarrassed over the corkage issue or just because this was his opinion. Hard to prove either way.
Stayed there a number of times. Mention this because it is hard to believe he couldn't find some nice things to say.
I don't tend to give hotels less than 3 stars, especially over staff issues, as it is hard to run a business like this and they may be just having a bad day. Just don't stay there in future.
The hotel had a right to attempt to get the posts removed . Maybe they had a right to take it further when he didn't cooperate. You would hope they didn't intend for such a draconian outcome.
Thailand laws come out looking over the top and a bit scary for locals and tourists.
Hopefully this will result in a modernisation of Thai laws.

6 minutes ago, Tippaporn said:And what facts might those be? Nothing illegal about Trump's taxes have been proven to date. So you have facts but proof of nothing. Go ahead and pin your hopes on it. Another "gotcha" moment. How many of those have we had now? Someone should be counting.
It may not prove illegality but it at least builds a strong case that he has significant debt, is not the successful businessman he claims to be, and the few swing voters left might not think much of paying more tax than this so called billionaire.
Though not a criminal offence there is a fairly strong inference too that some of his deductions are shonky, are being investigated, and he's likely to get a tax debt and penalty that could be huge.

Tomorrow hill hopefully be a good day. Trump can make his contradictions and obfuscations at press conferences but watch Chris Wallace and Biden take him to task on this issue. I am confident that Biden will do OK. He's a bit old but he's got a long history of debating and he's good at getting to the nub of things. Here's hoping.

23 minutes ago, Tippaporn said:By what stretch of the imagination does a president's debt equate to national security issues? The absurdity does not go unnoticed.
So, what if Trump has debts to Russians or some other banks, entities or individuals. Wouldn't the taxpayer want to know what might influence a president in his decision making. If those debts need to be called in, as appears could be the case in the near future, the pressure on a president to either offer some benefit to these parties, or use his position to gain funds to pay the debt, looms large.
But luckily there is a president with a strong moral compass so nothing to worry about. Come on man.

Our survival depends on you? OK.
Science works such that the outcome for one person doesn't dictate the correct treatment for all so, no matter his outcome, it's best to follow scientific advice if possible. If only Trump did he wouldn't have put himself and potentially 100's of others in the last few days at risk.
