Then why is Janes Carville freaking out over the polls and early voting numbers in Florida?  Do you know more than him about elections?

You expect him to say “we got Florida in the bag....   no worries there”? 

Duh.

Very simply for ya what caused Trump is that Americans were pissed off with the establishment and wanted someone who they thought could shake things up. (And of course a little help from the Kremlin) Well they did get a shake up but maybe not exactly the one they were hoping for. CEO's salaries continue to rise while working stiffs remain stagnant. Of course Covid has had a big effect there. Well, they can correct the Trump problem next week, Covid will take a while longer. I wouldn't say Biden would be my first choice but his theme of being president not just for blue states or red states but for the United States is a sensible place to start.

You've missed one main point and that's that Biden isn't going to fix that which isn't Trump's fault. Biden is an establishment bid to keep the status quo in place. Those people are still afraid of a real fix that's going to take a leader something like Bernie. They see that as communism or socialism and the Dem party was still afraid to go there.

I think it's quite delightful really. China gets breathing room as they fight with themselves.

Or maybe you do understand that but just didn't spell it all out completely? I hope so because it's really quite elementary.

I still have some hope Biden is more in touch with the middle class than the the typical corporate politician, just because he took the commuter train for so many years. Public transit humanizes us.

Biden will very likely listen to the expert teams he'll have around him. That in itslef will have better results than, say Trump dismissing Faucci because he thinks he knows more about infectious disease.

Tell us more....  we’re dying to hear the gossip from TMZ....   maybe “unnamed sources” let this slip?

Or are these the documents that Tucker Karlsen had that somehow “disappeared”.   
“I swear...  these documents said Hunter Biden stole money and ummm...  ate babies...  but they’re lost now”.

can you cite that... my crack research team is telling me it's an unnamed U.S. Department of Justice official - you know, one of Trumpy's boys! Surely you're aware of the FBI policy to not release any information that might impact upon an election... like all that bigTimeKerfuffle last go-around when just days before the election, FBI Director Comey said Clinton was being investigated. By the by, at that same time, an FBI investigation of Donald J. Trump was also open/proceeding... but that never came out, hey!

oh my! The Economist endorses Joe Biden...



It's actually not that impressive.  I remember they'd endorsed Clinton so I looked it up.  They've been endorsing Democrat since 2004... coincidentally the same year we realized Republican have gone bat-sh!t crazy.

THE ECONOMIST does not have a vote in America's presidential election, but since 1980 we have cast a ballot in spirit. Despite our London home, much of our readership lives in the United States, so we believe it useful to say how we would think about our vote—if we had one. Looking back, we tend to dislike incumbents, but favour no party—we have endorsed nearly equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans.

Are you planning to keep flogging this dead horse even after Biden takes over the WH next week" It's been old news for some time now so maybe move along. \well of course unless the likes of tucker carlson are your news source.

I suggested you try the other 2 recent polls rather than your penchant to cherry-pick a single-poll that gives you a warmFuzzy! Apparently... you've chosen to interpret the other 2 polls as biased, right - go figure!

Then why is James Carville freaking out over the polls and early voting numbers in Florida?  Do you know more than him about elections?


hotDamn member Shady... I will defer to your guy, James Carville:

Quote from: Democrat political consultant, the Ragin Cajun, James Carville
Not only are we going to know election night. We’re going to know at 10:30 Eastern. This thing is not going to be close. We’re going to know early. I’m not in any panic whatsoever.

I probably see as much polling as anybody in the country. And if anything, it continues to improve [for Biden].

How a fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge --- A 64-page document that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm."

Quote
One month before a purported leak of files from Hunter Biden's laptop, a fake "intelligence" document about him went viral on the right-wing internet, asserting an elaborate conspiracy theory involving former Vice President Joe Biden's son and business in China.

The document, a 64-page composition that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump, appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm" called Typhoon Investigations, according to researchers and public documents.

The author of the document, a self-identified Swiss security analyst named Martin Aspen, is a fabricated identity, according to analysis by disinformation researchers, who also concluded that Aspen's profile picture was created with an artificial intelligence face generator. The intelligence firm that Aspen lists as his previous employer said that no one by that name had ever worked for the company and that no one by that name lives in Switzerland, according to public records and social media searches.

One of the original posters of the document, a blogger and professor named Christopher Balding, took credit for writing parts of it when asked about it and said Aspen does not exist.

Despite the document's questionable authorship and anonymous sourcing, its claims that Hunter Biden has a problematic connection to the Communist Party of China have been used by people who oppose the Chinese government, as well as by far-right influencers, to baselessly accuse candidate Joe Biden of being beholden to the Chinese government.

Looking back, we tend to dislike incumbents, but favour no party—we have endorsed nearly equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans.

6 out of 9 were Democrat and more importantly, it's that the last Republican endorsement was GWB's first bid. 

One of these days I'll figure out how to post pictures on this forum (yes, shame on me), but look at the blurbs in the link below.  It's interesting, I think their evolution has less to do with the Economist becoming left-wing (they endorsed Harper twice), than it does with the Republicans becoming insufferable shysters.
