    Ironically, the platform of the democrats is just the same:

    'All about Trump!!'

    Trump Derangement Syndrome is epidemic in the progressive left.

    That is a false accusation - never a good way to start - but all to common with with those who's fantasy bubble has been pricked.

    Pipelines in North America do not increase fossil fuel pollution - but they decrease overall environmental pollution by a whole bunch.

    Blue is now the Anti Environment party - sucks doesn't it .. ?!

    I don't care about the political nonsense - but I do care about this nation - and the path we are on - which includes being objective -and taking off partisan blinders once in awhile.. a skill you seriously lack.

    The point sir us that both parties have chosen to make this election about DJ Trump. What this does is leave Trump the choice of campaign issues. Whether this will work out for the Dems or not remains to be seen. Note this is true regardless of your political views.

    I see it as a choice between bad and worse. These are strange times - Its like living in some Orwellian Alice in Wonderland world where - nothing is as it seems.

    And in such a world - who is the perfect Front Man ? ... May I present you ... Carrot Top ! ... finest in the land - to Entertain you .. trained in the art of "Reality" TV ... :applause::applause::applause::bonk::bonk::bonk:

    The fuel pollutes the air, which was the point. Democrats are the party of renewable energy. Trump has his own kind of energy, apparently, and it pollutes. Trump Energy is anti-environment. Pipelines are irrelevant.

    This lobotomized clone of Trump that now claims he is fighting for “us” has actually degenerated into a version of a pathetic indecisive Jimmy Carter.

    Does anyone believe that if Hillary Clinton was the POTUS, and there were riots of thousands of right wingers kooks equivalent to ANtifa, that Hillary would have just said “oh well, there’s nothing I can do, it’s up to the governors and mayors?

    $&@t. Hell, Obama called out ATF on cattle ranchers
    Bill Clinton sent ATF to take a kid from
    His mom by force and send him back to Cuba
    Anyone think Eisenhower or FDR, or Ronald Reagan, or Truman, would sit by and watch all this $&@ rioting and shooting and KILLING even police and say “there is nothing I can do, but vote to re-elect me because I’m the greatest President in history and I’m fighting for “us”

    In post #41 you told someone:
    "It is foolish to post a link without commentary or posting anything from that link."
    Your response to me was the opposite; commenting without posting evidence that supports your assertions.
    Link/s?

    And he doesn't want one because his beliefs are amorphous, tailored to fit the moment. Leaving Trumpleton's to wonder as they awake each morning, "what do I believe in today?"

    Which statement has far more to do with angst and irritation than reality.

    It is always a choice between bad and worse. That's what happens with power seeker vs power seeker.
    Two things I recommend. 1st read up on the condottieri period in Italy and then watch the movie 'Hero' in set toward the end if a similar period in China. Then understand why the Hero do not kill the would be emperor when he had the chance...

    No more like the DNC was forced to change their platform because it has gone full socialist.....the RNC outlined clearly in their resolution why they simply adopted much of the 2016 platform...1) lack of delegates being able to meaningfully get together and discuss because of the Chinese Virus 2) the party is moderate, middle of the road, and the platform reflects that. The RNC has been taken over by radicals like the DNC, so very little is needed to change. 3) The policies of the Trump Admin have been working....and will continue to work

    Oh and I reached the point I am at because I am objective or as objective as is humanly possible given necessarily limited knowledge on the part of anyone human being.

    Let me correct myself = it is a choice between "really bad" and "horrific" Red is a garbage party full of RHINO's who hate the founding principles and the principles of Republicanism.

    Trump isn't what they are voting for and most Republicans don't even like Trump.

    This election is about voting against
    1. The 23 Democrat Mayors and Governors who have allowed the rioting and killing of civilians and cops for over 2 months
    2. Democrat promotion of defunding police
    3. Democrats allowing the take over of Seattle
    4. Democrats running and brain dead candidate who can't find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flash light
    5. Democrats support of BLM and Antifa at all cost
    6. Democrats illegally tearing down statues because they think they know best
    7. Democrats releasing rioters from jails to destroy property night after night
    8. Democrats caught faking numbers on a virus for political reasons
    9. Democrats refusing to allow their national guard to put down these riots
    10. 4 years of fake accusations for political purposes
    11. The fake claims of Kavanaugh being an alcoholic high school serial rapist
    12. The fake claims about Trump being a Russian asset
    13. The fake claims about the Covington Catholic kids being racist bigots
    14. The fake partisan impeachment scam

    Thats what people are voting on. You can bet on it

    A presidential election is always, at least in part, a referendum on the president, even if he's not running.

    This time it's all about Trump, for all the obvious reasons.

    It's hard to nail down swing voters, because they vote the weather. Whichever way the wind blows the day of the election, that's the way they vote.

    Which isn't to say they are entirely brainless.

    A recent poll of people that didn't like either candidate had a majority of them saying they would vote for Biden.

    Sure, you can pick a number of nits with that, but it fits in with a lot of other polls that show Biden as the consistent front runner.

    The problem with Trump's constant doubling down on the crazy is that people expect more. That's why the polls are consistent.

    Perhaps you should view the highlights again. You might see the train that's about to run the Democrats into the dirt ,,, again.

    I would say just the opposite is true. Democrats have no party platform or even a candidate, it's all about Trump.

    Trumps agenda is the Republican agenda. Simple as that.
