I'll start it.  I'll go ahead and concede since the polling numbers between the 2 Presidents at simultaneous points in their Presidency, apparently matters a great deal to you.

Perhaps it cements some sort of validation for you in your mind that you did the correct thing in voting for Biden.  That probably matters to you, or I could be wrong and am simply making an assumption about your need for validation.  I'll concede right now, that I could be ALL WET on that thought. 

Let me explain how I feel about my vote.  Personally, I couldn't give 2 shits how Trump is polling, and I couldn't care less if he was polling poorer than Biden was at this point in his Presidency.

Furthermore, I couldn't give 2 shits as to whether or not I rec'd validation and pats on the head from you or any other Republican here on this forum or anywhere, in which I need to justify my reasoning for voting for Trump. 

I'll proudly say it.  I will vote for Trump over ANY Other candidate for President, if he's running.  I'll be happy and ecstatic to vote for Trump.  Now I'm saying this, with great respect for Mel, Greg, Steve, and Darian.  And if they choose not to vote for Trump, that's their prerogative and I won't lose an ounce of sleep, nor will I chastise them for not voting for him.

I don't think I need to even comment on your persuasion in voting.  I'm just going to blanketly ASSUME with great odds in my favor that you will NEVER vote for Donald Trump. 

Let me confirm something that i feel about you by asking this question or perhaps I'll just make a statement that you can confirm with a Yes or No.

My guess is that you would gladly and happily vote For Alger Hiss, knowing the facts about him now, if he was running against Donald Trump.  Is that a reasonable assumption on my part?  

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Now I think I've made my position clear have I not?  I hope you think I have.

Here's my Big, Bold question to you.  

Are the Republicans currently engaged in voter suppression against the Democrat voter, the Democrat Minority, blacks and hispanics, as Rod and others have clearly accused them?  

Yes or no will suffice and we can go from there.

Have a great day!  

P.S.  Yes, Biden is doing better in the polling than Trump was at this point in his Presidency.

1. The state of the pandemic. Will Omicron accomplish what common sense and vaccines could not and get us to some measure of herd immunity? Or will further variants emerge that can beat even Omicron immunity?
2. What is the general state of the economy, and especially inflation?
3. Gas prices.
4. The inevitable October surprise.
5. What is the state of the Biden agenda?
6. Will redistricting and the more restrictive voting laws passed in the wake of the 2020 election matter?

More things that may affect mid-terms:

7. The state of the NY AG investigation into Trump's fraudulent business dealings and do his lenders call their loans?
8. The progress and results of the 1/6 committee.
9. Have enough unvaccinated Trump supporters in swing states and areas died to matter?

You seem to be chasing me around wanting to have a dialogue, so since I answered your questions I would have just simply expected you to answer mine, or do You not want to have a dialogue after calling me out?

It really doesn't matter to me but I'll ask again anyway.  

Are the Republicans currently engaged in voter suppression against the Democrat voter, the Democrat Minority, blacks and hispanics, as Rod and others have clearly accused them? 

Yes or no will suffice and we can go from there.

....Is tantamount to a when did you stop beating your wife question. 

Now that I have to say is the ultimate in intellectual cowardice.

I asked you a simple question, to which your response was at one point to call me a Loser.

So again, I'm wondering what was Uncivil about my question.  

I realize you hate Donald Trump and so I wondered if you hated him to the point that you would vote for anyone, aside from Trump including Alger Hiss.

After all, in the mind of the left here, Donald Trump IS worse than Alger Hiss.  They compare him to Adolf Hitler, so I assumed that maybe you WOULD in fact vote for Alger Hiss if he were running against Donald Trump.

They would IMO.  

Are you now playing the victim card?  It sure seems like it.  Its either that or you don't like answering simple questions or being challenged on your politics..

Come on, Jim. We all know you try to hide it, but clearly, you can't help but follow him around and try to engage him in dialogue without us noticing. But we do. We see you and your subordinate desire to be liked by him. Haha.

1. Unless something drastic changes Trump WILL have my vote if he runs and as far as I can tell everyone I know personally that voted for him last time will be voting for him as well. (one possible exception though, if he brings up that bullshit vindictive idea of he would rather see Abrams win over our current governor here in GA than him win again he could lose my vote for good. Not only lose it but have me actively against him) I am not a huge fan of Kemp but I would take another term with him over Abrams any day of the week..... Trump needs to let that mouth of his sleep on that bullshit.

2. Did Trump ever actually fall below 33% approval? If he did I dont recall it. I tend to only follow the Qunnippiac poll even though it is biased slightly left.....if memory serves me Trump never fell past 37 in that one.....
