Why did you not just say that?  It would have been easier than posting lies and not producing evidence for your insane assertions.

Thanks!  

No, Russ is saying he endorses the article.  I read the article and disagree with it's premise and with Russ.  Read the article and get back to us.

I suppose another way I can put it to you is to tell you that I wasn't talking to you. He's capable of speaking for himself even though your ego apparently thinks he asked you to speak for him.  Did he?  I must have missed that.

Have a great day.  

Link works fine for me.  In case you missed it, I am disagreeing with Russ in this thread.  We are pretty much entirely in disagreement.  So I hardly think I am speaking for Russ.  Russ does quite a good job of speaking for himself and making you look like an idiot.

Life's too short for that.

LOL

The laugh out loud part was when they recited the Brookings Institute and claimed how "Non-partisan" they are.  What a joke.  

Just seemed more of the Atlantic's BS and one sided nonsense.

Everything was "supposition" on what Trump MIGHT do and suggested he would NOT CONCEDE.

However not once in that joke of a rag article did they address the fact that HILLARY and the Dems STILL haven't conceded their loss.  

And Foley and Stewart III from MIT surely stated that they were "surprised" that when all these EXTRA counts came in, they ALL favored the Democrat candidates in the past which apparently made them scratch their heads.  

And the Rutherford Hayes election.  Gee this is what they are relying on as evidence that Trump would pull something.

Nah, just more horseshit and projection on Republicans of what Democrats ALWAYS do.  

And lastly, as I concluded earlier, the lies that Russ Carroll made up, weren't even in that article so I guess I was right.  

Anything you want to add, since you're now acting as Russ Carroll's mommy and speaking for him?

Have a great day!  

Yesterday I was the 'Quarterback'.  Today I'm the 'Mommy'.  A few weeks ago I was the 'Bookkeeper'.  I gotta tell you Rich, your personal man-crush has a heck of a lot more skill pinning derogatory nicknames on people than you.  'Little Marco' was pretty darned good.  I did enjoy being 'The One' for a time.  That was cool.

One of the things you are totally missing about Trump is that each of these asinine statements is a probe in search of information. Can I get in trouble for this....can I get away with it....is it worth the risk because of the alternatives??? He looks for any crack or softness in the constitution, courts, congress, and electorate. He is already trying to gaslight his cult into thinking mail-in voting is a fraud, while at the same time convincing them COVID-19 is a hoax and wants them to vote in person instead. Meanwhile, normal people, who wan to avoid polling places, are somehow part of a cabal to overthrow him via the US mail, which he wants to invalidate.

I would throw all of this on a conspiracy bin but for that fact that Trump is a once in a Millenia con-man.

Hi Russ, 

I think you're making good points.  I think the part I bolded is quite insightful, and is a fresh point of view for me.   I remain convinced however that the system is quite robust enough to show him the door, if/when he loses.

I'm not denying that Trump is trying to affect voter turnout with his BS about mail-in fraud.  More importantly, I agree that Trump is building the foundation of a huge excuse in anticipation of his loss, "mail in fraud"  "They had to cheat to win"  and so on.   You can bet your last dollar that his core supporters will buy into these lies if Trump loses, and that is a terrible thing.  But his core supporters are only 25-30% of the voters, maybe less.  Sowing dissention in advance and undermining the election process is evil, vile, harmful to the nation and justifies his ouster by the electorate.

But the paragraph above concerns a different thing than Trump literally trying to hang on to power after he has lost.  I know that my ramblings are not convincing you of anything.  But Trump holding out after the election does not worry me.

Herb implemented an Artificial Intelligence engine in the forums.  The AI is too savvy to outright censor anyone, but the new algorithms are flagging Davis material as too stupid for re-posting.

Hi Darian:

I'm guessing that Jim M., James and the rest have a pretty good idea of the contempt that Trump supporters have for the Democrat Party.  They've been reading you and Richard, Steve and Greg here for the last few years.  Gotta admit, your messaging has not been subtle!  Even though Trump supporters might hold the Ds in contempt, each Trump supporter still only gets one vote. 

So the vehemence of your contempt is not the point!  We can all agree that Trump supporters loath Democrats and Democrats loath Trump and his supporters.  At least we ought to agree on that, although Rich won't agree with me even when we agree!  Like I said, this is not the point. (Well, I have to admit that a fired-up base is important, but still...)

The real question is whether the voters in the key swing states (FL, PA, MI, WI, OH) have moved a little toward Trump or a little toward Biden.   If they have moved a little toward Biden, Trump loses.  It is that simple.  The RCP swing state poll averages suggest that Biden has the lead, but they were wrong in 2016 by just a little bit, and that made all the difference in the world.  Unlike James, I think the debate tomorrow is going to be important in the swing states.  

We'll see of course.

"Amy Coney Barrett belongs to a “small, tightly knit Christian group called People of Praise,” The New York Times reported in September 2017. According to The Times, the group’s members “swear a lifelong oath of loyalty, called a covenant, to one another, and are assigned and are accountable to a personal adviser, called a ‘head’ for men and a ‘handmaid’ (now woman leader) for women. The group teaches that husbands are the heads of their wives and should take authority over the family.” The Times indicated that Amy Barrett’s family has deep ties to the group.

God I hate agreeing with Rich so often, it sucks the joy out of the forum for me.  Nonetheless, Dave, look at the woman's resume.  You are being a sexist.  You are being an absolute sexist.  If the D's go down this sexist path it will go a long way toward reelecting Trump.

Hi Darian:

I agree in part, but I find the political process entertaining.  We all must.  Otherwise why read this forum?

Hi Russ:

The swing state polls are much closer.  Biden will run up the overall vote totals in the biggest blue states, but that of course does not matter.  I still think this race is a near toss up,  with Biden ahead, but he certainly has no insurmountable lead.
