Dems Threw Out Their Extremist/Repubs Elected Theirs

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Jamal Bowman, known for his denials of the Oct 7th atrocities committed by Palestinian terrorists, was trounced in the Democratic primary by a moderate Democrat while COLORADO Republicans elected Boebert the bimbo who ran on a platform exclaiming the 2020 election was stolen. 

Comments?...

First Presidential Debate

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I don't think it's fair because Donald says he was "tortured" while getting his mug shot taken in jail so he probably has PTSD. He should get handicapped status and have extra time to make up for it during the debate....

Not one time will Bash or Tapper prod and argue with Trump asking the same question over and over when they don't like his answer, then cut his mic.  LOL    

I'm wondering how many times they will refer to him as a convicted felon? 

I'm wondering how many times they'll ask him the same question over and over, do you accept the results of the 2020 election?

My guess is that will be the very first question right out of the box, then when they don't like his answer, they will say things such as..

"ok, although You falsely claim that the election was stolen with no evidence........" 

Then there will be 10 questions about Jan 6th 2021 and why he incited an insurrection, when he incited nothing.   

It will be a total joke, since Bash and Tapper have to satisfy their radical left CNN audience.  smile
" You falsely claim that the election was stolen with no evidence"

Is there something wrong in stating factually correct information?

Biden was as bad as could be. Now of course they are making up excuses for him. Even the leftist media was saying that he was bad

"President Joe Biden is expected to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with family at Camp David on Sunday, following a nationally televised debate Thursday that left many fellow Democrats worried about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump in November, according to five people familiar with the matter."

Jill Biden better make the right decision for the good of the country and drop the Tammy Wynette crapola of "stand by your man"...

I mean, a sitting governor and sitting senator. That's pretty formidable.
Jon Tester/Gretchen Whitmer ticket.

If only...

Jill is encouraging him to stay in the race. We're screwed.
PS: I suppose there's always the chance that Joe will wake up tomorrow and forget whatever Jill had to say...

I would really like to see two different candidates from both parties.
Biden seems fixated on staying and stubbornly so and perhaps even delusionally so but Harris actually is now polling fairly well and right up there with Trump.

It's clear with post debate polling Biden is losing in the critical swing states. I think the only hope is that Biden will somehow be persuaded to step down with dignity and Harris will pick a conservative running mate. It'd be a wise choice to invite Joe Manchin onto the ticket and my guess is he'd jump at the chance despite his current independent status. The latter combo would probably cinch it for the democrats in November.

The Dems need to field the strongest candidate, not the one that political correctness appoints. If Harris is that person, let her prove it in a very truncated contest.
I'm looking at the analysis of the polling as reported one day ago on Newsweek:

"Vice President Kamala Harris has a marginally better chance than President Joe Biden of winning the Electoral College in a 2024 race against Donald Trump, according to analysis."

Ultimately, a more centrist candidate would, in my opinion, be better but lacking that, a more conservative VP pick for Harris could only help matters...

I think it's safe to say we, i.e. the majority, want the best candidate who gives the Dems the best chance of winning the election. I've already offered up my opinion of Jon Tester, Harris and Manchin, to name names.

That said, who do YOU think ought to run against Trump?...

CBS National News with Nora O'Donnell and the cast that is with her onstage are absolutely gray looking, as if they want to vomit

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Although the initial flash polls after the debate don't seem to reflect a major change on voter preferences, this election will be decided by the margins and there's enough of a change to favor a Trump victory.  

Biden does need to step aside now and a moderate Democrat needs to fill the void. My recommendation:

As far as Trump's performance goes, he LIED on virtually EVERYTHING he had to say but he said it better than Biden said the truth...
