Exactly he needs to talk about stuff that isn't policy and is just random shit an 80 year old in charge of the most powerful country on earth would talk about. You know, his favorite ice cream and all the funny Instagram reels he saw that day.

Two scoops. That's what I like about these ice cream parlors, the two scoops. And what's the deal with hard candies..

I know we have talked about the disconnect, but I just don't see this happening in November:

Cook Political Senate Polls (with their Prez toplines from last week in parenthesis)

• AZ: Gallego +5 (Trump +1)
• MI: Slotkin +2 (Trump +2)
• NV: Rosen +7 (Trump +9)
• PA: Casey +8 (Trump +3)
• WI: Baldwin +12 (TIED)
• GA: generic ballot R+4 (Trump +3)
• NC: generic ballot R+1 (Trump +7)

So basically do Beard’s fireside chats about except he’s drunk on Jack and cokes and doing it live from a WaWa in Pittsburgh

 

 

 

(which to be honest, Beard probably did that during his time here and we just don’t know about it.

I mean look how good it did for Beard. This kind of shit works. It makes people relatable, it makes people connect. 

Right now Biden rules from the White House (an ivory tower of sorts) and has everyone do the talking for him (because this is their job). The problem is Trump is a direct to consumer type guy and that's what he's up against.

Those polls make perfect sense for people dumb enough to answer phone calls from unknown callers and then proceed to spend 10-15 minutes giving them information.

Quote

In a release, the IRS, along with the U.S. Treasury Department, said its Direct File pilot program, which rolled out on a limited basis earlier this year, saw 140,000 taxpayers claim more than $90 million in refunds and save an estimated $5.6 million in filing costs.

$40/taxpayer. Two yuppie food stamps. Nice.

I stepped away from this thread because I get too anxious. But I’m back! Anyway, you really can’t make sense of this? It aligns exactly with Biden’s poor job approval numbers. Is it so hard to understand that people don’t like him, but they also really don’t like the GQP. Hence, they will vote for a democratic senator thinking that at least a democratic senate will keep him in check (lol). Now, maybe when they’re in that booth they’ll go ahead and press the Biden button, but that’s still up in the air.

Georgia is very easy to see going back to Trump, and I consider that likely.  There is too much smoke that black voters are not as energized for Biden this round, and that is what carried him in GA.  That gets Trump to 251.  PA gets Trump over the line but it’s hard to see that happening and hard to see Michigan going for Trump either.  To me, Trump’s path is to win GA and then get Wisconsin and Arizona close enough to have the Supreme Court decide for him.  It’s pretty unlikely.  But not impossible.  I would say it’s more likely Biden wins 2020 plus NC than it is Trump gets to 270.

It’s actually impossible.

Somewhere in the article it mentions that in 2020 that Colorado district went for Trump by over 18% - but in the recent poll Trump was 10% ahead of Biden.  10% is still an ass kicking, but losing 8% of your support may be this small nugget in there that is telling us something.

Obviously, I'm voting for him, but IMO, he's still one of the most mediocre Dem president's in recent history. I will say it's not entirely his fault as he is in an extremely difficult position, so just manning the boat, making sure it stays afloat will suffice but he's lacked leadership but thay seems to be the Dems trademark as of late

This is nonsense that I've already responded to. Historically, if this country survives, he will go down as one of the most important in our history. 

[Fudge Nuggets 18899]

Clinton has always been my favorite President, but Biden is nip and tuck with him now in my opinion.  As much as I like Obama, he's a distant third compared to Clinton and Biden.

It's not a sexy topic but there's got to be a message in there somewhere.  Lower taxes, more pro-business regulatory environments, and judicial appointments throughout history don't mean all that much when you've living under a guy who literally told you he's going to be your Dictator.  Even Stalin had the decency to be like, "The judiciary?  I dunno, whatever they think is best.  But I am going to murder millions of marginalized people."

We're in year 12 of Obama/Biden/Harris. Zero major scandals, outside of the real nasty stuff like tan suits and ice cream. 

Trump tried to stop the counting of votes during an election and that's so far down the list I had completely forgotten about it until the other day.

Even the 1990s rabid Clinton haters cannot be compared to the modern MAGA opposition Biden has to contend with.  No other Democratic president had the type of bat-shit crazy opposition that Biden has had to work through.   As horrible as the Republican party was to Obama, they were not the near perfect society of crazy people that they are today. Complaining about a tan suit or mustard has to be compared with today’s GOP wanting to jail women for possessing an abortion pill - or demanding the imprisonment of anyone who disagrees with Trump.   The former is annoying, and somehow laughable.  The latter is terrifying.   Uncle Joe has to work with the second group.  Accomplishing what he has so far in the face of that opposition is a damn miracle.
