    Here are the requirements to be president:

    • be a natural-born U.S. citizen of the United States;
    • be at least 35 years old;
    • be a resident in the United States for at least 14 years.
    As to your notes on Biden - I'm just facepalming over here.

    This could be a movie ............. One which no one would believe

    A reality TV star with no manners or experience becomes President.

    He can barely put complete sentences together when speaking. Doesn't believe in science.

    His closest advisors are conspiring with the Russians. Many are charged and found guilty

    He attempts to bribe a foreign government to interfere with his re-election

    He is impeached

    A deadly Virus has infected the Country far worse than any other country

    He Lies to the country dismissing the severity of the danger.

    Rarely wears a mask or social distances his meetings enforcing the Virus isn't a problem

    200,000 + Americans die

    His campaign manager has a breakdown then attempts to commit suicide

    He gets the Virus as well as top government officials and his new campaign manager a month before the Election

    Who would believe this script ???

    In retrospect nowadays I try not to blame people for voting for Barack in 2008. Yes, while Barack was absolutely all image and no substance whatsoever, nobody knew that until a few months after he won. I knew it but that's because I think in a sideways manner. Anyway it was an excellent image, a truly world class image; and if he had BEEN what he so very easily presented himself to the nation as, then he would have gone down in history as one of our most outstanding presidents . . . instead of what he actually became.

    However I will NEVER forgive anyone who voted for him the second time in 2012; because by then they definitely should have known better.

    I think you mean hiding in his basement for most of the last four months.

    Today Biden was on air and actually told governors not to endorse him because then Trump would cut off their COVID aid and while he was spouting that bit of utter insanity his nose was running like a faucet and then he sort of drifted off into total nonsense. But that's what happens after the drugs work their way out of the system but the 'patient' still has to perform in front of a camera lens.

    You make an interesting observation....

    Isn't it odd and strange how many people in the White House and Republican side of the Senate seem to have 'come down' with the virus JUST SINCE THE NOMINATION OF JUDGE BARRETT TO THE SUPREME COURT?

    Yes very odd that all those hugging each other at a venue where most didn't bother wearing a mask came down with the virus

    I agree 100%.

    Voting for Obama in 2008 was one thing, but by 2012 we knew what Obama really was, and nobody with an ounce of intelligence, awareness, or patriotism should have voted for him.

    "The world's media" is nothing more than globalist propaganda. Who gives a crap what they think?

    He didn't hide during the debate as you all claimed he would. LOL

    His basement dwelling is working like a charm at this point.

    What we said was that it was a POSSIBILITY; which it very definitely was . . . considering how his handlers have been dealing with the various Biden issues. As for Biden's 'cower in the basement and just HOPE for the best' political technique, according to the latest polling returns, it's definitely not working out for him or for the DNC.

    Nope. You all said he would skip the debates or some other horseshit excuse that anyone with common sense knew wouldn't happen. According to your polls you claim are in Trump's favor, I would LOVE to see these. LOL

    It will 'work well' until somebody turns over a rock! You ever notice what happens when you turn over a rock? All the INSECTS come running out into the light....

    According to Trump's campaign manager, it makes him unqualified to be president, since he has no direct experience with the virus. He was too dumb not to catch it. LOL

    LOL, I love that you all believe Biden is as hated as Hillary was. But you keep believing that if it makes you sleep better at night.

    In the UK I started to think is that the best America can do?
    Then I remembered we are ruled by Boris Johnson.
    Accept my apology, at least you gave us Spinal Tap and the Simpsons.
    The best of the UK is Larry the Downing Street cat.
    (Don't be fooled by our politicians plummy posh accents and verbal diarrhoea, they are Princes of Darkness like Trump).

    Biden doesn't need experience with the virus to qualify as President. None of the other did. Trump's campaign manager doesn't know what he's talking about. If Trump doesn't get over this Coronavirus, that will be too bad.

    Joe Biden was in Gettysburg and never mentioned Trump but stuck to the issues that concern our country and what can be done to combat them. Biden I believe was straightforward in what he said and would do things the right way. Trump doesn't care about any of us. Trump doesn't care whether we live or die from COVID-19. Trump is so much of a selfish son-of-a-@#%&*, doesn't care for anyone except himself and that all I will say for now.

    In the vice-Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence, I hope there isn't a fiasco like in the first Trump and Biden debate. That's all I'm going to say for now.
