    Biden has polled at or above 50%, on the average, for more than 10x as many days as Hillary Clinton did during the entirety of 2016.

    ...and I had a ham egg and cheese bagel sandwich for breakfast! My fried egg somewhat resembled Joe Biden's brain. Which is about as relevant as your polls are.

    LOL The Democrat Convention should just run this 2 minute video with Trump's face superimposed on the big screen. The delusions of 1984 have been a fairly accurately portrayed by the left-wing on a daily basis during the last 3.5+ years against our sitting president. I've never seen any president be treated so horribly by media-programmed ignorance of the masses, and never given one ounce of credit for his accomplishments.

    Their trying to cater to everyone from Republicans to the Far Left, from support for Wall Street capitalists to the working-class unemployed, from support for BLM to supporting the "rich white wealth" of their own politically-constructed notion of "systemic racism". Trying to be all things to all people (except millions of Trump supporters, "the evil enemies of society") is likely to leave them with little come November.

    The obvious danger of Identity Politics:

    If you are going to compare Biden to Hillary Clinton, then those polls are very much relevant.

    Okay, so the premise here is that people are dying of COVID because they trust Trump?
    So I guess Dems trust Trump 3 times more than Repubs?

    Good to know.

    Why would people like Bernie or Kerry or Clinton or Jill come out with solutions or positions? It isn't their place. That will be left to Joe on Thursday. And please keep that criticism in mind next week - I hope you will be equally critical of speakers who don't offer solutions and only bash Biden.

    I didn't and will not watch any of it... I likely won't watch much if any of the Republican one either.

    I'm much more excited to watch any sort of a debate between Trump and Dementia Joe...

    That's usually when the President speaks, but I still bet that they don't want people to watch him stumble and fumble around with trying to put together a coherent thought, even WHEN the words are right in front of his face... They want him out of the spotlight as much as possible...

    You point?

    It's still true that the Chinese Flu is killing Democrats at a much higher rate.

    Someone needs to speak for Democrats and their agenda, since Biden won't, or is incapable.

    Trump is talking to people every day and holding mini-rallies to live audiences.

    Since we're talking about the convention, how about you wait until after Thursday to make assertions about Joe's inability to speak to his agenda. But if you're impatient for that - head on over to the Vision section of his website. In contrast to Trump's site, you will find his detailed positions.

    How about I say want I want to say today, and say what I want to say tomorrow (Thursday).

    Further proof of the authoritarian bent in the left: Telling people what, when and how to speak.

    The INGSOC through police are real! Vote Democrat 2020!

    I've tried to watch some but can only take so much of the infomercial type video's. As I said in another post maybe they should have cut back to two BIG nights one on issues and then the nomination ceremony. How many times can the public bear to watch strangers on their TV saying how much they hate Trump and what a good guy is Biden?

    All dramatics aside, we are talking about the convention and the messages from the speakers and nominees. But sure, I guess you can turn that into the mean ole lefty trying to tell you what to do, lol.

    When they went through all the states in alphabetical order to cast their votes, there were two uniformed soldiers standing there as part of that political act.

    If Joe couldn't communicate his agenda anytime in 2020, I doubt waiting until tomorrow will make one bit of difference. But, he has had a year to rehearse scripts, so maybe he can pull it off.
