Biden's edge evaporates as Trump seen as better suited for economy, coronavirus response: Reuters/Ipsos poll

Too old, too frail, and too confused for the US Presidency. What were the DNC thinking with a 77-year old candidate?

It shows how little many Americans expect from him. Over one million infected and over 70,000 dead. Yeah, great job Donald.

Ignorance must be wonderful.

Yeh he might have been told that but when they punched the fake numbers in the virologists told them there was no threat.

3,000 dead out of 1,400,000,000 doesn't ring the alarm bells in ANY algorithm.

If they had told the truth or allowed foreigners in to assess the situation things would have been completely different

I guess the facts might help you, as a top White House advisor warned trump that this virus had the potential to kill thousands of Americans.........but the stable genius played golf and swatted away information from those that knew better. OOPS......forgot, no-one knows better than him, and perhaps he already had the answer with UV light and disinfectant. What an idiot.

 

The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life: 
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/07/donald-trump-coronavirus-memos-warning-peter-navarro 

Donald Trump was warned at the end of January by one of his top White House advisers that coronavirus had the potential to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans and derail the US economy, unless tough action were taken immediately, new memos have revealed.

The memos were written by Trump’s economic adviser, Peter Navarro, and circulated via the National Security Council widely around the White House and federal agencies, and they show
that even within the Trump administration alarm bells were ringing by late January, at a time when the president was consistently downplaying the threat of Covid-19.

As long as the Wuhan Virus remains a threat, Biden will be limited in his public appearances for health reasons. This can't help with ginning up enthusiasm for his already somnambulant campaign.  Looking back at the primaries, Bernie's rallies were packed with people and lively (altho apparently nobody turned up to vote), while Biden's rallies and meeting were like funerals. Trump's base is fired up and like it or not, his use of twitter keeps them engaged. 

I think the sexual harassment allegations against Biden will hurt him with women voters, this was the one area they hoped would make a difference from Clinton's disaster in 2016. There is a strong likelihood that Hunter's deals in China get pushed to the news again. More complications for Good 'Ol Joe as he tries to look tough on China, while his pathetic son makes millions from Chinese companies.

If the economy is back on track soon, which seems likely given the reopening of business and the lessened chance of a "worse case scenario" for the virus, Trump will win again. And I don't think it will be close.

That kind of reminded me of Trump as he tries to look tough on China, while his pathic daughter gets special treatment on her cheap clothing line

Biden is hopeless. Senile, corrupt and a pervert. 

[thailandsgreat]

77 y.o. Biden said a lady was "dog-faced", called a supporter "full of s***", appeared too close to many women on photos, pretended to forget former boss Obama's name!

 

He never did this during 8 years as a vice president.

 

Dems are just faking it now. Biden doesn't even try to win. Dems pave the way for Trump. Rep and Dems both want Trump policy.

 

Dem progressive <deleted> with feminism, immigration, AOC, Commie-Bernie is just for CNN and export to crash Europe. They want Europeans to believe Americans support crazy politics, but they don't.

Keep America great and don't let the Dims/Chinese win

Hopefully the people will see how Trump has failed his people. Covid has become such an issue for him, he has decided to try not to discuss it anymore, and is dismantling the task force. 

 

Keep America great? Can you please explain to me what part of America is so great? Is it the highest rate of covid infections in the world? The highest death rate? One of the lowest per capita percentages of testing? Is it the exploding homeless population, that was happening long before covid came along? The ridiculous expensive standard of living? Is it the $3500 a month one bedroom apartments in larger cities? How about the 65% of the population who only had two months of savings to their names, prior to all this? Is it the health care system, which is failing its people? The crumbling infrastructure? 

 

Please break down this "greatness" for us all. We would love to be illuminated. And try to avoid White House talking points, if you can.

It's Trump's fault people suck at handling their finances? I think not. For added perspective, personal savings rate in China is 25%. In the US, it's 7.6%

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=us+savings+rate

 

What would you like Trump to do, force people to save more? You'd say it's just another example of him being a dictator. Now, as far as you talking down the US. That is easily addressed and somewhat debunked by a Gallup poll that says 150,000,000 foreigners would migrate to the US if they could. And that's one of the lower estimates. Do you have any evidence that shows the US isn't one of the most sought after countries to live in? And what speaks louder? Facts and statistics, or your anti-Trump complaining?

Biden is a bag man, not a leader. He is vulnerable in many areas. I would like to see the GOP dispirit the Democrat base by reminding everyone Biden has been owned by banksters for decades. And their investments in him paid off with votes that enabled banksters at the expense of working people.

Sounds like you are only talking about the high tax, liberal cities. You always come off as.a guy who would be uncomfortable 50 miles away from Santa Barbara. Just because you are unhappy with America, doesn't mean there aren't people extremely happy with it. Every problem you mention sounds like SF, NYC, LA. Flyover country is doing just fine.

 

For many people the whole work at home thing has been one of the greatest improvements to their quality of life that has ever happened.

That's been the case since I've been old enough to vote -- settle for the least loathsome.  As much as I hated Nixon I couldn't vote for Humphrey or McGovern.  My turning point was 1988 when I voted for Dukakis and was relieved that he didn't win, and then didn't vote for 20 years.  I have a friend who is a hard-core Liberal (that's with a capital N) who was active in the Kerry campaign, and I expected him to be distraught after the loss.  But no, he took it well, saying with a laugh that "the worse thing than another 4 years of Cheney would be a Kerry presidency." 

But the people picked Biden from that whole multi-gender/multi-ethnic smorgasbord that numbered more than 20 at one point.  Of course some didn't really have much potential but we won't say who ???? .

The GOP knows low voter turnout works in their favor.  Camp Biden knows Obama won (twice) because black voters came out for him, and that's the edge Old Joe is counting on.  The GOP voter suppression movement will keep upping their game, Wisconsin was just an experiment.  DT said if there was a nationwide mail-in ballot the Republicans would never win another election.

I have no idea, but my conscience tells me that if someone goes to great lengths, using expensive lawyers and all that, in an attempt to not make them public, then there is obviously something he doesn't want to be found.

I'm not sure that's true. They are systematically weeded out IMO.

 

The US budget exists to serve a small number of benificiaries. Both parties cater to the same beneficiaries. The only difference between the parties is the base they don't have to give money to. For the Democrats that is the identity, abortion crowd. For the Republicans that is the gun nut, anti abortion crowd. Costs neither party anything to pander to these groups, while their core constituents, the rich, win either way it goes.

Not trolling just asking you to apply your rules of success and failure to your personal situation. You seem to think a billionaire president is a failure in life. 

I guess increasing one's net worth from $200 million to $3 billion means failure. Having a TV series with at least one spinoff, 14 year in production and a profit of $214 millions makes Trump unsuccessful. Leftists sure have strange beliefs.

I guess he will still be unsuccessful when he is elected to his second term. A feat achieved by very few people in history.

Have you ever seen prove that he's a billionaire?

 

There is prove available that he has at least 1.5 Billion personal debts, and that doesn't include the hundreds of law suits he is involved in, but that is not wealth is it?

 

There is no prove at all of what wealth he has, for the simple reason that he refuse to show his tax records.

 

Do you also notice that awful smell of a death rat?

Anyway this is about Biden and how he has lost his edge. Trump's success isn't the issue. He is undoubtedly wealthier than any of us and the sitting President. 

 

The real issue is he has achieved more than Biden ever has. He is going to beat Biden like a drum. It's funny because I remember when Hillary ran and she wa so fantastic back then. Now she is reviled and everybody says worse candidate ever. That's how we will talk about Biden in 6 months.

 

Now go look at yourself in the mirror and repeat three times. Winning a second term as POTUS is the epitome of success.
