    If Trump wins, it's because the Dem's opposed him on COVID. That was a dumb move. They should have stood in unison with him in cheering for the economy to come back to normal as fast as possible. You don't want to be the party that's in favor of killing the economy more than it already is.

      Its pretty clear that there was another bad polling error this year even if Biden pulls this out.

              As bad as Trump in theory should be for the GOP Bernie in reality is for the dems.

              I’m a start in your own house guy, Bernie an independent co-opted the party with promises of free college and debt forgiveness. The fact that he received millions of votes in 2 primaries was the beginning of the end. It legitimized a crazy wing of the party that Fox News/Trump/GOP used to amplify a message of socialism to the NA educated idiots in our country’s.

              The second problem is harder to grasp. Sure there are ‘good’ people who vote for Trump but no reasonable person would consider them a decent person 7 years ago. Trump is the manifestation of a white minority punishing the rest of us for a electing a black president.

              Honestly I hope this isn’t the beginning of the end of the American experience but I fear it might have run it’s course. What’s the purpose of a republic if half of us elect a lying racist who constantly lies, crimes and cheats?

                Simple... you pick the worst possible candidate in your party in the primaries. Should have gone with Tulsi Gabbard.

                        Lol I have participated on this forum in years but read occasionally.

                        Just because people said they didn’t ‘support’ Trump all it took was 5 minutes of reading any thread to realize most were ok with 99% of what he did.

                        People weren’t shy about their support.

                          It refers to responses to polling questions you weirdo.

                            I read everywhere that all the polling companies were gun shy about 2016, and they factored the shy Trump voters to make sure they weren’t missing them. If they really are a thing, and they’re powerful enough to skew even careful pollsters, then Trump really has a stranglehold on the GOP.

                              Yes. And that is depressing.

                                If Biden loses it’ll have big ramifications. The Dems will argue they’ve ran two centrist candidates (Clinton and Biden) and lost both times so they’ll want to go with Warren or some other Bernie clone next time. At least Harris will lose and fracking will still be allowed but I honestly don’t want to deal with more trump for four more years.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
