Yeah, that's what I plan to do, vote democrat. I plan to vote for a good chance to win the general. If you vote for Trump in the primary, you are effectively voting for Biden in the general. Congrats on that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, she asked the question, and she got her answer. I would answer the same way. You want to start some sh!t then expect some sh!t. This is part of his problem though. No one wants honesty, they want to be lied to. Trumps main failure is that he cannot shut his mouth, and he does not fear the outcomes.... a well-heeled politican would lie his arse off and then we would applaud him for it. Honesty? Cmon Ray, this is a big stretch. If a woman approached you and asked for directions, would you give them to her and then add, "and you are ugly$#@!" According to your post, you are just being honest. His comment to her had nothing to do with the question. My impression was that you were raised/trained better than to do that. Perhaps I am wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At this moment, Trump appears to be a lock for the Republican nomination. And once he is the nominee who knows? I’ve been pretty confident of a Biden victory but what the hell do O know? Too many what ifs. The latest poll shows Trump ahead. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you offered me right now a Ron DeSantis presidency for the next 8 years, I would gladly take it, even though I have no liking for DeSantis. Because that would mean, one way or another, Trump’s defeat. And I will accept any option that ensures that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find that breakdown, just overall which indeed shows Trump pulling ahead. But it's not a popular vote, as Hillary well knows. OK fine, does Trump have a puncher's chance at beating Biden, despite the full weight of the MSM sheltering Biden from criticism and likely from debates? I suppose. Or we can nominate DeSantis and win in a slam dunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is ironic that leftists attempt to portray Trump as bad or a liar, when all he ever does is set them off by saying exactly what he actually believes is true. Conversely, Biden lies about everything and they do not seem to care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 2,889 Posted May 8, 2023 1 hour ago, RLLD said: I think there is some merit to your assertion. But I think you are painting too broad a brush. It is not whatever a President does. There are a few areas where it would be true to say you have to wait for outcomes, but most of the time the policies have a more immediate impact. Trump was foundationally solid in his policies, was delivering effective outcomes, but the real measure of some of them needed time. By way of example, he delivered historical employment for AA's....but it might take 5-10 years for the to manifest in measurable improvements. Trump was highly effective, Biden has been just ruinous by comparison. But he appears to be yeilding just a little on his earlier mistakes, so I am giving him credit for at least trying to do better Was he highly effective? I think he was more effective at promoting himself not so sure about results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What things did he do for the AA community, this was talked about in other threads and when I looked around there wasn’t much outside of continuing policies. There was some stuff for AA colleges and some jail reform policies. Unemployment for AA community has been dropping for awhile along with all unemployment and continues to be at historical lows. Border crossings were at lows when he took office, dropped precipitously during Obama years and were rising pretty dramatically in 2019 despite his wall stuff. GDP was flattening in 2019, went down from prior 2018. US racked up debt under his watch. Those numbers weren’t anything amazing in any case. I don’t really know what Trump re-worked internationally. I guess got NATO counties to pitch in more. That is fair. He was deferential to Putin almost embarrassingly so (see Helsinki press conference - that was sad to watch from a US Prez). Inflation is the one thing Biden has to wear, this is a global issue however I would add. Countries everywhere are dealing with this. Biden can take blame here however and be judged on what actions he has taken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
