2020 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I've been flipping back and forth between the two town halls.

Trump is going off the rails.
Biden is killing it.
Same here. trump is his own worst enemy and enjoys acting as his own executioner.

They time-shifted them out here so they're not both on at the same time. Makes it much easier for me to avoid them both.

I read this. if true it's hilarious

When Trump said he retweeted some things that he didn't write himself. He said he just 'puts it out there for people and they can decide for themselves.' To which the commentator replied, 'but sir, you're the president, not somebody's crazy uncle.'
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

The Biden town hall was pretty good.

Saw this comment on the net that sums up Trump's town hall: "Trump debates nobody and loses".

Trump's town hall completely backfired on him.

Let's hope that undecided (how is that possible?) voters agree.

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst Botches 'Most Midwestern Moment' Ever In TV Debate

... Greenfield (D) was asked if she knew the price of corn. She not only answered correctly, but also worked in some observations about what those numbers mean to struggling farmers.

Yet when Ernst was asked the price of soybeans, she first ducked the question, speaking for more than a minute on trade issues. Then, when asked again about the price of soybeans, she fumbled and got it wrong.

After being corrected by the moderators, Ernst accused Greenfield of not answering either (she did). Next, Ernst indicated she was answering about the price of corn, in which case her response was still well off the mark. Finally, she blamed the audio problems that had cropped up several times during the debate

FiveThirtyEight rates the race a tossup, with a slight edge to Greenfield.

Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg ― a Democrat ― said on Twitter that the exchange was “possibly the most Midwestern moment in the history of televised Senate debates.” ...

Yeah, I feel pretty sure that if I were a US Senator from Iowa I would know what the prices of Iowa agricultural products are as well as how much it's costing my state's farmers because of trump's tariffs. She's obviously just as out of touch and has the same misplaced priorities as the rest of the GOP.

Probably also a bad idea to lie about what her opponent said, lie about her own answer, and then blame the audio.

The American public is made up of idiots with short memories, but I don't think they're going to forget three and a half years of Trump ass-suckage just because of three weeks of pretend "distancing."

She clearly did an excellent job. But I wonder if she could have gotten the same result if instead of her 5 million in 100K square miles of an island, she had LA's 10 million people in 500 square miles.
