Trump: "That's real beautiful. Real America right here! MAGA!"

...4% of people don't have a firm opinion!
So, even if all those people made up their minds that PINO was ok (don't ask me why) it will still be 60:40.

Trump has a 25% base that will almost never leave him because he has given them the
right to use the word n****r again. The rich will dump him because he is costing them
money and killing the republican party but the dumb ass white racists feel that he is one
of them even though he wouldn't let them into his clubs except to cut the grass or paint
something .... which in the end he won't pay them for.

Sometimes I think the # of racist, sexist, anti science, Jay-bee zuss loving, is
a huge % of Americans. One can not discount the hurt that was caused by
Reagan's killing off of the fairness doctrine. For 2.5 generations we have had
getting their news from cancers like Rush, Hannity, Pat Robertson, OANN, Newmax,
and so on.

I know it’s supposed to be about the virus but I won’t be surprised if it goes off the rails real quick like.

The Guardian has an article today about the test that may not be the same one Trump took but is similar. It is so incredibly easy. Even the last questions that Trump claimed were very hard were not. Some people without cognitive decline might have trouble remembering the five words, and in the correct order, but I suspect most people would get them. As a check on myself, I just tried to remember the five words from the article, which I read more than two hours ago. I had no difficulty remembering the words and the order, probably because I established an association with the first two words that helped me remember the last three. I think this means that I’m qualified to be president!
