    Know this: that I believe in our innocent babies’ smiles, our hard-working families and our big box retail stores.

    No, look it up. Anybody taking over the presidency on 1/20/21 in the eventuality of an undecided election, would be temporary until Congress voted. The Senate votes for the veep, and the House for the president. Each state delegation has one vote. Currently the GOP has more delegations.

    The interesting thing, though, is that the NEW Congress is the one that votes. So the Dems need to win more races to flip the delegation count, if they want to block this route for Trump.

    Pelosi was recently making this point, that the Dems need to focus on the states where they can flip the delegations, so that if Trump tries to bump the election to the House, the Dems can still prevail.

    Pence ducked the question you mention although I believe you have rephrased the question to be a little different than what I recall being asked.

    Harris ducked the court packing question.

    Ducking questions is what they do in a debate. Which is why it's mostly a waste of time.

    Not surprising. Flies are attracted to...well, you know.

    BTW, did mother know he was sharing the stage with two women?

    This is a liberal fantasy and it's the same talking points as four years ago. It's strange for the people who claim to believe in the integrity of the election to continually question it.

    I don't have any reservations or questions about the election results and will honor them no matter what they are.

    Now onto this debate: Kamala Harris was a racist demagogue in the DNC debates and she was a racist demagogue last night and she absolutely will govern as a racist demagogue.

    Note that such people actually focus on race, it is who they are. You don't have to speculate about her racism it's self evident.

    I'm leaning towards voting neither as I don't want to be responsible for putting either one in the WH.

    "I like people who weren't captured." Donald Trump in front of cameras and thousands at a rally. Not exactly anonymous.

    It was a reference to red flag laws by which authorities can seize firearms from individuals deemed a threat to themselves or others. As @Curious Always noted, Trump is in favor of them. Says we should take the guns first then worry about sue process. Real 2A advocate there.

    No, Kavanaugh was not credibly accused and Mitt has become a farce.

    He's still a 2a advocate IMO, but yes,

    It's in reference to the comments after the parkland shooting, where the kid literally put up several red flags and law enforcement did nothing about it due to legal limitations. Since then we implemented a red flag law in FL to help in that situation. It's a bit controversial still but really doesn't get any media attention locally since it started (surprised? No) I'm a 2a supporter but have no serious problems with the red flag law.

    Ps, last time I checked that little **** that did this still hasn't officially had his day in court, which is quite ridiculous.

    I’m in favor of them as well, but anyone saying that they’re voting Trump because he wouldn’t do anything to limit the 2A obviously isn’t listening to his words.

    The wheels of justice turn painfully slow at times.

    I listened to the words and at the moment agreed with him, the repeated failure to address concerns that were brought to the school, the sherriffs dept and the fbi really was quite ridiculous, a brutal reminder that freedom really does have a price.

    I found the response acceptable. And we handled it at the state level.

    There is absolutely no way that I would feel more comfortable with the biden administration addressing this.

    In what way do you believe Biden would have/will fail to address that issue?

    Doesn’t tell me why you think he’d be ill equipped to handle the problem of school shootings, but thanks anyway.
