Popular Post bendejo Posted June 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2020 Dumbest thing is fretting over the numbers now, the only poll that matters is the one on November 3rd. A lot can and will happen by then, like the rising body count, changes in the economy, and a person crucial to the status quo may no longer be breathing. The spectre of death looms over everyday lives in general as well as world affairs. And then there are foreign leaders who see DT for what he is (as opposed to the _____ who believe what he says he is), and will take advantage of his ineptness: it is in their interest to keep this bozo in his position. Be sure that ANY numbers that come out of the White House are suspect, it is run by a person who has no qualms at all about having his finger on the scale. If he manages to be in the WH on January 21st it will be the start of a very different regime -- no more pandering to the polls, the next step would be along these lines: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/03/10/president-for-life-putin-opens-door-to-extending-rule-until-2036-a69576 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolutely the truth, and multiple bipartisan polls are showing a massive drop in approval over the last 6 weeks. If the polls are correct, and his approval has dropped 9-11%, that means 20% of his extremely loyal base has finally decided they cannot abide by him and his policies, and his erratic behavior, and his inane tweets any longer. Five months before an election that is huuuuuge. And not good news for Trump. The recent events have shown him to be a relic of the past, out of tune, out of touch, tone deaf, hateful, and unwilling to make any meaningful effort to address the issues that have caused the largest protests in the US, since 1968. This stuff is not happening in a vacuum. There are real issues. Issuing a token statement of support, and meeting with the families of the dead men, who have been slaughtered by some very bad cops (and continually supported by some very toxic police unions), is not a solution. Leadership is a solution, and the GOP is starting to understand that the extreme lack of leadership is going to cost them in November. Big time. I predict he will be defeated by 8-10 million votes, in a historic landslide election. And he will be ushered out of DC in utter humiliation and shame, to a life of obscurity, something he will not be able to handle. No more management deals, no more billions. Just a crumbling business, that was once an empire, and possibly even legal charges against him, for the multiple counts of felony fraud he has committed with his bank loans. Who have been slaughtered by some very bad cops This is the biggest overstatement of the year! Slaughtered? Get yourself a dictionary and educate yourself please. Here is an example of slaughter: In just 100 days in 1994, about 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Hutu extremists. In 2020 to date 31 Blacks killed by police, none of them slaughtered Mike. Around the same number of cops have been killed in the line of duty. Joe Biden, probably your personal hero, has already said 10 to 15% of Americans are just bad people. That goes across all races. religions. creeds. occupations. Is Leadership going to get these 10 to 15% in compliance with the next election? Or course not. People will commit crime, fact of life some races do it more than others. Chicago had 754 murders in 2016. 564 in 2018. 490 in 2019. Any comments on why this is? Controlled by the Democrats with the toughest gun laws in America? Do you think they care who is the President? Think they vote or engage in politics? Probably not Mike. Do you think taking Aunt Jamima's picture off of a pancake syrup bottle is going to help? Do you think trying to tear down history that already happened 100 years ago is going to help? Should they rewrite every history book every written? Come on, common sense. People get killed every day in the US and other cities around the world. Brazil had 41,635 killings in 2019. Does that bother you? Do you think a new leader with solve all those murders? You really need to get on grip on the facts of life and not your personal exaggerations. It's simple really. DON'T BREAK THE LAW. I don't see the cops arresting any of my black coworkers? Why is that? They don't break the law, pretty simple idea really. PS I was having lunch at Port Canaveral, Florida today and was shocked how many expensive Yachts sailed by flying a Trump 2020 flag. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is a clown, and has already harmed America and the rest of the world. His attitude to China, Muslims and Mexicans. Trump is living proof that the general public can be fooled into voting for a load of rubbish. Yes, turkeys voting for Christmas. How will it be disastrous? Because you read that in the news somewhere? Stimulus checks, gas prices lowest they have been in years, record low interest rates, etc. From where I sit, it appears if that is more disaster waiting to happen, I am all for it. I don't want to make up stories how Trump has harmed the rest of the world, I am only concerned what it is doing for me personally. Life is good, economically better than it has been for years and years for me. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you are fretting endlessly over a foreign government's whim over your immigration status. Don't project your own insecurities onto the Donald.

Damual Travesty Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) The same Ipso/Reuters poll predicted that Hillary Clinton would have a 90 percent chance of winning enough electoral college votes to win the 2016 Presidential election. SEE: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-polls/how-the-polls-including-ours-missed-trumps-victory-idUSKBN1343O6 If anyone has not caught on yet, these polls are all pretty much meaningless. In general, we are still to far out to make any predictions, especially in a USA with so many rapidly changing events. Polls can tell you based upon calling X amount of people out of a population of Y we can get a sample, and based upon the sample size out of population you get a +/- percentage, but such polls have absolutely no way of determining how many people are simply lying through their teeth when the pollster calls them. In the case of Trump voters they came to the believe long ago that anyone who calls their house is pretty much the enemy. And yes, even if a poll results were to claim Trump was cruising to victory I still would not put any faith in it.

Because Trump is the President of the United States. Because the CDC strongly supports the wearing of masks. Because the White House rules stipulate mask wearing.. Because as more and more research comes in, it turns out that the wearing of masks is the most powerful tool there is in stopping the pandemic. Imagine how many less deaths there would be if President Trump strongly endorsed the wearing of masks and did so himself. Instead he has politicized the issue so the his supporters are now less likely to wear mask themselves. Why is there one set of rules for the White House and another set of rules for Trump's rallies? 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
