How is Biden not WAY WAY ahead of Trump? Who are these 42%? (Original Post) yuiyoshida Aug 2020 OP
I have not seen 47% anywhere. I am seeing ten or above always. That is cool. LizBeth Aug 2020 #1
if it was a Democrat behaving like Trump, s/he'd be at 5% Skittles Aug 2020 #2

Mind boggling.

I see the Trump yard signs around here and can’t believe anyone in their right mind would want four more years of this.

Not that they’d be caught dead or alive there, but they’re the ones who’d stick with him if he murdered somebody in broad daylight on Fifth Ave. In other words, the Republican base.

That said, I think there are fewer of them than that.

His approval rating is lower ight now but they will still vote for him. Nothing would change their mind even if he came and sprayed virus on them. Oh, he did that already.

uh,...no.. 150,000 are dead on his watch, and he does NOTHING.. this is TREASONOUS.. his soul duty is to protect the nation. He HAS FAILED Spectacularly. Are these people who support him not aware of what's going on..DOES FOX NEWS have them so brainwashed that they will just run in huge crowds... and spreading the virus to many others before they die... I guess it will be the MORONS who will die and the INNOCENT people around them.

Fox News, The Republican Party and Donald Trump have basically destroyed this country, along with Right Wing Radio. The Q'ANON shit is now seeping into Congress... Maybe she is the ANTI AOC.. congress person... in any case.. Q'anon wants a Dictatorship.. They want Emperor Trump to rule, and with is son DON JR...as the heir apparent. Fuck this shit..this is a fucking Democracy.

are woefully stuck in their tribalism. They would not be moved if Satan himself were sitting behind the Resolute Desk.

This has nothing to do with Joe Biden. It is not as if another Democrat would be doing better. It is the state of our nation right now.

That's the only way he can claim a legit win last time. I don't think the polls are correct, and this has been the case no matter what which is why it stays that way. It works for everybody. It divides the public, give enough believability to -45 and makes pooten happy.

Make no mistake, Trump is still, despite everything, killing us in rural America. I remember 2016 election night per rural voting and flyover states. I've been following election results as they come in since Kennedy/Nixon, and never has there been such a disparity. What used to be 60/40 Repub results were 85/15, and, unless the USPS issue wakes them the hell up, it will be 90/10 this time. Trump has hypnotized his followers into thinking "the people of color are coming for you. They want to take away your guns. Joe/Kamala are controlled by Antifa, and BLM are radical revolutionaries who want the white race eliminated". These people only communicate with each other and their controlled Facebook feeds. They consider FoxNews and George W. Bush as "libruls". I spent a couple of weeks recently with my Trump-loving brother in rural America and they're running scared and running ugly.

Of course there are good people out there in the hinterlands who are not racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., but they are in the extreme minority.

She suggested that it almost looks like Trump is botching the response to the pandemic.

The answer is staring everyone in the face.

Trumps extreme actions to destroy the post office can only possibly pay off, if people are afraid to vote in person. The way to keep people from the voting stations is to continue or worsen the pandemic. Without it, this strategy is doomed.

in terms of handling the pandemic, Trump has filed Fauci and pulled the CDC out of the loop. He is also insistent that children must return to school.

Please wake up and see that the pandemic and the destruction of the USPS are part of the same plan. The virus must keep killing people for Trumps to stand a chance of voting interference
