    Exactly.

    Trump is Literally "Beating Himself".

    Biden should just hide for the next 3+ Months and he will wake up on Wed. Nov. 4th as Pres.-Elect.

    Totally LMAO off at Trump (or anybody else) expecting Biden to "do more".

    Trump is his own worst enemy.

    Biden is perfectly content to lay back and let Trump dig his own hole.

    Biden is Teflon and nothing is going to stick.

    At least the neoconservatives and liberals have now formed one major party now, this is good. We can now form a new party to counter. And the Nationalists should be the one to step in.

    An elected Democrat State Rep from Georgia just endorsed Trump over Biden:

    Yeah, neo-cons and neo-libs have actually been the same party for at least 30 years. Glad they're coming out of the pretend-we're-different closet.

    And that's because the DNC has damn well lost its mind. It's not like Trump's an unbeatable candidate. All they had to do was keep policies similar where there's bipartisan agreement, campaign on a softer tone and try to bridge the divide that was created.

    Instead, they're running a political puppet, total anarchy and it seems like the people just want to make Trump a scapegoat for it all, like one big collective temper tantrum.

    Gee, if that is so, how bad is Trump, being done by such a person?

    Anyone who saw Trump's rambling, incoherent performance in the Rose Garden on Tuesday has to have serious concerns about his mental capacity.

    That's certainly the false Republican narrative. Keep repeating it, but that will not make it true.

    And let me guess, the true Democrat narrative is that most Americans are of the 'sound mind' to defeat Trump in November and that will magically bring most Americans together.(The ones that Liberals approve of anyway, but that's increasingly becoming a slimmer and slimmer number of people.) Like it's said: You start backstabbing people, the only one to backstab is yourself in the end.)

    Rogan has to maintain lefty status if he wants to keep his career going. I like his podcasts but he clearly is afraid of the woke wokeys.....

    You mean the false image of Trump pushed by lefties and never Trumpers?

    Biden is still a bigger scumbag. Just being a career government hack makes that a reality.

    There's a few ways of looking at that. One is that for most of the country, the campaign really hasn't started yet. I mean, we hear stuff but for the most part everyone is still hunkered down, trying to survive, and either a part of looting the nearest Target or trying to avoid being looted. This forum and the people posting on it are really not a good sample of what people in the real world are feeling at any given time. Sure, WE are talking about it but for many people it doesn't actually feel like there's a campaign at all given their minds are on other things. So in that respect anything either candidate says isn't all that important right now.

    Perhaps part of this is also because Biden seems to be operating on silent running mode, something Trump is not capable of. And maybe this is because Biden being prone to gaffes is being ordered to stay silent by his advisors. As a result, it's hard to get stuff to stick to someone who isn't there.

    Another way of looking at it is that Biden is benefiting from the same indifference regarding his behavior as Trump did - and for the same reason: The press long ago with Clinton desensitized the hoi polloi to that kind of behavior and now no one really cares. I mean, sure each side will point the finger at the other but at the end of the day both sides realize that each is guilty of the same behavior as the other one and so the attacks will be rather muted. #BelieveWomen will likely be a non-factor in this election if only because it'd look odd complaining about Trump when Biden ain't any kind of angel himself. This is much the same way that Hilla couldn't really call out Trump for being a liar or corrupt when she had the very same issues if not more so.

    Anyway, there's my :twocents:.

    Biden doesn't have dementia, or if what he has is dementia, he's had it all his life. His style has always been a little bemused and diffident. It's a ploy. You think he's this unfocused dullard and suddenly he's skewered you six ways from Sunday.

    Trump is more than just demented. He crazier than a belfry bat; a psychopathic narcissist and they're the most dangerous kind.

    It’s just a meme.
    Like their integrity and overall agenda.

    He literally fires or forces people out once they start looking for corruption.

    He's literally the most obviously and extensively corrupt President I can remember or even think of from American History and good part of this corruption comes from his quickly doing just this to prevent anyone from finding out how corrupt he really is. By this time our government is so thoroughly shot through with rank criminality that the Russian Mafia is studying it as an example of how to succeed even better than they already are

    The only one who can hurt Biden is himself.
    If he acts like a drooling idiot during a debate, it could hurt him a bit, but we’d still have to compare it to trump’s mental problems and decide who is the greater danger to our country.
    Biden would surround himself with adults and experts who care about our country and listen to them, and he has a smart and loving wife beside him. We already know what trump will do.
    Guess who I trust with our country?

    Interesting that you stop 1.5 years ago. Here is the most recent graph. I have to assume that you excluded more recent data because it completely undermines your point.

    Also noted that the Obama graph is centered on 0 whereas the lower limit of the Trump graph is at 1, to make the highs look much higher. Nice manipulation. Misrepresentation is the only way to spin the numbers.

    [​IMG]
    The mean growth for Trump currently sits at 1.9%. Below Obama. And it is unlikely to improve before November.

    Even if we exclude the most recent -5% result, Trump's growth is still only 2.55% - barely above Obama's growth rate, which Trump supporters call pathetic.

    Trump is in free fall in the polls. Could he win? Yes, it's possible. But it's looking less and less likely. And anyone who watched his rambling, incoherent performance in the Rose Garden on Tuesday has to have real concerns for his mental health and cognitive ability. He is losing it. Fast.

    I am not voting for Biden himself, I am voting for teams of experts in their field.
    When you vote for trump that is who you are voting for, no one else.

    It speaks greatly to the decline of this nation that a failed corrupt bankrupt reality TV personality is even in the running against numerous individuals that are well versed in their respective fields.

    Someone will step in and say the 2008 recession (before Obama) was Obama’s fault but the virus that trump said was totally under control and did nothing to prevent it’s spread (it only took 130,000 American deaths for him to acknowledge we need to wear masks) isn’t trump’s.\

    The cognitive dissonance surrounding this period of America will be studied for generations — and we have plenty of online remarks to look into the narrative of the average trump supporter.

    The answer, for any intelligent American, is, "Almost anyone but Trump".

    It’s not about intelligence, it’s about character.
    People who care about their country understand that trump doesn’t, and that is a fatal flaw in a potus.
    Even Nixon cared more about his country than himself.
    The sad part is that trump worshippers know that trump doesn’t care and they still support him.
    What does that say about their own love of country?
