    I have been having fun with that one. Whenever I say Im voting for Jo, people assume I mean Biden. Personally, I would love to see a third party on the debate stage.

    I just answered you, likely Jo Jorgensen.
    If not her I will vote green party just to help get them to 5%.

    What did you mean that I should “make up my mind“?

    Also, you do understand that deficit spending is necessary during times of emergency, I was discussing the deficit spending that was seen when the economy was in full recovery, only so that our political leaders could have good numbers.

    Or were you just trying to distract from the discussion?

    Chris Wallace lost all credibility and respect from me with that setup question during the debates.. something like "would you concede the election if.. "

    That is why I include her last name lol
    This nation is in desperate need of a third party — even our founders knew two parties would rip this nation apart.

    Independent, moderate here.

    I actually liked both the Biden and the Trump speeches; they both had strong points. I did feel that Trump's was too long. At one point in real time (I was posting here) I said "he's overstaying his welcome; it's getting boring." I felt that Biden's speech had a better delivery and was better written, and yes, Trump sounded flat as compared to his fierce rallies. But convention-wise I felt that the GOP got a bigger show going and the idea of having live audience was a good one (I'm talking exclusively from the standpoint of spectacle and efficiency, not from the standpoint of epidemilogical risks - atypical of me but I can suspend my public health concerns just for this post). Trump knows how to produce a good TV show.

    I hope not. It's becoming clearer that a vaccine will start being available less than one year into the American portion of the pandemic. World War II killed 405,000 Americans; I'm hoping that with a vaccine we'll avoid getting close to that number.

    Nope, just when you acquired it by insider trading, which is what that bitch did. She is everything the left denounces yet she is your leader. :democrat:

    Ok... great...
    She is as much my leader as she is yours but... whatever gives you the warm tingle you are desperately reaching for.
    So do you care to discuss the topic or are you just going to continue your typical debate strategy?

    So your "talking point" is based on 2-Week-Old Post from a Twitter Troll funded by Alex Jones?

    When asked if WalkAway received $10,000 from Alex Jones and InfoWars, Straka replied, "Yes, we did! And we are so grateful to Alex and everyone else who has helped to contribute to the success of our campaign."

    Wallace had asked then whether Trump was prepared to concede to the winner, if he didn’t win. “I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense,” Trump had said in 2016.

    You've already lost the debate with my rebuttal. The end, you lose. I hope you will let it go....unlike Hillary.

    Imagine 70 minutes of his teleprompter delivery. Staying focused 70 minutes is tough with a good speaker so I’m thinking anyone but his most ardent supporters and political junkies wouldn’t be able take much more then roughly 15 minutes. That speech wasn’t an effect way to draw or sway voters.

    When 3/4 of the hand-picked crowd made up of "Vociferous Trump Supporters" spent most of the time looking at their phones (while bored to tears), I can't imagine that anyone was "swayed".

    So which is it ---- you'd support the police enforcing law and order, and you're walking back your assertion that law enforcement is "violence"? And are you backpedaling on your false claim that Trump sending help would be akin to "dispatching more violence onto the streets"? (That's a direct quote from you, in this thread.)

    You realize, also, that the fine line between "protester" and "rioter" and "looter" can be whether or not they've picked up a brick yet, or snagged a pair of Nikes yet?

    Last night Straka was surrounded by a mob in DC and called homophobic slurs.

    Switching to trolling so soon, usually it takes a few responses to do that.

    If you are ok with deficit spending then you should be ok when Trump does it. You like it or you don't.

    For the third time What did you mean that I should “make up my mind“?

    And again because you apparently failed to comprehend what I said, I understand deficit spending when it is an emergency. We should prepare for cuts to make up for it after the emergency is abated however.

    trump having good stock growth is not an emergency. If he cannot run the nation without massive deficit spending then he should not be president. Conservatives need to drop fiscal responsibility, self reliance, family values and virtually every item they swore they stood by after this administration ends.

    Straka?

    A Twitter Troll funded by Alex Jones?

    His Twitter Feed only functions to give confirmation bias to the Pro-Trump ("Dems Bad") RW.

    Anyway, back on topic, Wallace was spot-on in his assessment of Trump's Lethargic Performance.
