2020 Presidential Election Thread: The Homestretch

[HarthorneWingo]

It's going to be interesting to see how much more widespread Latino support is going to be for President Trump this election.

I'm seeing some very encouraging signs. The 30,000 vehicle caravan Latinos for Trump rally in Miami and now this in Puerto Rico.

What has the orange tub of goo ever done for Latinos except to call them drug dealers, rapists, murderers, thugs, and whites? Oh right, he did throw out a bunch of rolls of paper towels to the people of Puerto Rico after it was devastated by that hurricane. So there is that.

[HarthorneWingo]

So Jimmy Dore and Tucker Carlson agree on pulling for Trump to (1) withdraw troops from the Middle East over the objections of JCS Mark Milley; and (2) force a large COVID stimulus package now over the objections of Mitch McConnell and the Republicans.

Cue Twilight Zone theme song

By how much do you figure Trump will outperform his 2016 numbers with Latinos. I'm guessing at least 5% more.

The Dems will NOT invite Mitch over for a Boston Tea Party, but they will likely implement colonial era stocks and pillories for public humiliation.

There is SO much he needs to answer for.

Yes he does but did Biden get the memo? Seems like he's preparing for afternoon tea with the GOP.....

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-biden-mitch-mcconnell-republicans_n_5e14d847c5b687c7eb5ca326

The use of the word "epiphany" seemed to me to be a euphemism for the fact that after he's gone, Republicans will widely proclaim they never supported him and enabled his criminal behavior (as they clearly did). Also, he said Mitch will be "how can I say ― mildly cooperative." That only means McConnell will want to show everybody how "totally reasonable he is" even though he will not actually do anything good that he is not forced to do.

Don't forget, at the Town Hall, Biden said he would appoint the strongest prosecutors in the country and let them decide what to do about criminal charges against the previous administration. Biden, himself, will not direct them or tell them what to do.

I don't really know what he meant by his words or what he had hoped to accomplish by it but it probably wasn't directed at me because I guess I'm not fooled by it.

I just know that republicans and the religious right especially have an adversarial disposition and it isn't 'mild' at all. They don't see things just a difference of opinion or a preference, it's a battle of good and evil and they are the ones who have concluded they are the good so anyone who doesn't agree with them is evil.

In that mindset there is a really visceral emotion that makes it virtually impossible to coexist without the vitriol of intolerance. Believing they are the chosen ones of the god nation and everyone else is not. They wrap themselves in the book and the flag self anointed divine bogarting of America from everyone else.

I don't know how that can be negotiated with, there's no reasoning or compromise with people who think everyone except themselves are evil and trying to 'destroy' everything. The paradox of tolerance is an ever present conundrum.

Early voting data in battleground states shows Trump outpacing national polls giving Biden an edge

he Republican Party is keeping pace in mail-in and early voting in three key swing states despite polls showing early voting should clearly favor Joe Biden.

Data out of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio indicates that registered Republicans are returning ballots at about the same rate as registered Democrats in the battleground states.

In Michigan as of Wednesday, just over 1 million ballots have been returned, 40% from registered Democrats, with the same from registered Republicans. In Wisconsin, 40% of the 711,855 returned ballots have been from Democrats, while 38% have come from Republicans.

The GOP actually leads in Ohio, with 45% of 475,259 early ballot returns coming from Republicans, compared to 43% from registered Democrats. The preliminary data matches up with the requests by party affiliation for mail-in ballots.

The data contradicts national polls showing Biden supporters overwhelmingly plan to vote by mail or early in person. According to a Pew Research poll released Friday, 55% of voters who plan to cast their ballot in person before Election Day support Biden, compared to 40% who support President Trump..

OOPSIE!!!!

Not Hunter, Not Joe.

The FBI' top child porn investigator is the one who picked up the laptop.

Hunter Biden's attorney asked for Hunter's laptop back from the repair shop.

And you are still in denial. This is fun.

Alright, you go back to posting Q posters and have your fun

I've put up with this kind of idiocy for over four years so I can handle another two weeks

Good luck with living in your rabbit hole post blue tsunami. At least you'll have your Q brethren on whatever channish board you inhabit to tend to your eggs of delusion together and hatch fresh fantasies about Trump's resurrection in 2024. Somebody's got to do it so it might as well be you. You've qualified yourself with flying colors

I played with you this last time, but at a certain point even debunking looney toons like yourself gets boring so yeah you go have your fun throwing stupid chit provided by other trolls against the wall. None of it ever sticks, but I'm confident you'll keep lapping it up like the complete sucker you are

But the incredible dishonesty, lack of any political courage or useful work, and generally bad character of Graham makes me feel sick seeing this actually happened. I'm sorry, but he as much as anyone else in the Senate bears the blame for enabling Trump and compromising our democracy. Times up!

Her connection with him goes back at least a couple decades now. The Graham she knew is gone. Trump played his komprommat card on Graham and turned him into a sniveling succubus. In her elderly mind, she is probably hugging the Graham she once knew and she may even feel sorry for what a wretch he turned into. I wouldn't read much more into it than that. She's a weird politician herself and has sided with corporate interests one too many times. Once upon a time she was looked upon more favorably, but she's really old and will be gone soon so whatever.

If they did you'd be talking to someone else. Everything is just a script they read from. There is no original thought. Trolls are by their very nature unoriginal. They just harp on whatever bad memes they've been fed and some of them pretend they are making their own arguments, but they are not. They just repeat things. In this case it is all garbage with no critical thought. Their time is up. 2 weeks and counting.

[Zenzibar]

What do you consider "fake news" that you automatically assume that I read? And there are plenty of crappy people who endorse crappy people, so her endorsement doesn't change that.

I mean we have a Senator who represents a state in which she should have clear knowledge about soybean prices since she's from Iowa, and not only was way off in her number but tried to change the subject by throwing her complete support behind the resident.

Puerto Rico has always had puppet governments. The fact that they cannot vote will mitigate any pro-POTUS endorsements.

Here's some news on that front:
https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-race-and-ethnicity-joe-biden-donald-trump-puerto-rico-3018eade64921c72b0ebb1df3f22061e

Trump recently secured an endorsement from Puerto Rico’s governor and promised nearly $13 billion in additional aid last month to help the island rebuild from Hurricane Maria. During a recent rally in Florida, Trump declared: “I’m not gonna say the best, but I’m just about the best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico. You better vote for me, Puerto Rico.” Many were quick to note that those living on the island don’t have that right.

Meanwhile, Biden granted an exclusive interview to Puerto Rico’s main newspaper that for the first time in its 50 years endorsed a U.S. presidential candidate and asked those in the U.S. mainland to support Biden: “We ask that you, with the great power of your vote, especially in key electoral states, help open the way to the transformation effort that will honor the dignity and promote the progress of every person.”

______________________________________________________________________

If the PR vote in Florida is strong, combine that with African American vote, the Cubans' influence there )FL) will weaken.

Trump's neglect of PR created a significant influx of Floriricans. They know what Trump did (or didn't do) for their island. I doubt they will forget that now that some of them are registered to vote as Floridians.

It will really be 2020nesque if the Puerto Rico vote weakens the Cubans influence once and for all in Florida.

True. But, to the larger point, name anyone in the republican party who we can partner with? I don't think there is one. Look at how they all folded during the Kavanaugh hearing.

Yeah, I understand that Scalia and Ginsburg did have a "friendship." I haven't read the details about it to truly understand the nature of it but Scalia and Thomas engaged (and continue on the part of Thomas) in unethical behavior, imo. If true, a Justice Wingo could not maintain such a relationship with such scoundrels.

Sheldon Whitehouse said it loud and clear

The GOP screwed themselves. Biden's known affability with the opposition will merely put a smiley face on the actuality which is Biden's WH is going to huddle with other Democrats and use their majority to enact legislation based on the consensus of the Democratic coalition. The GOP will literally get nothing now and that falls squarely on the GOP. This trope that the Dems are going to obsequiously solicit Mitch's input is realy silly and I wish people would just drop it. It's just dumb. If anything, Biden will exude warm fuzzies while tightening the screws so in a sense he is the perfect front man for using majority power with class

before the OP actually posted did you check the account? It looks suspiciously like a fake account joining last month. having family in PPR I called the picture of traffic just that a picture for trump. That was not Miami either that was San Juan.
In Miami he has the cuban vote because they hate the dems. A vast Majority of PRs are dems. And the PRs in Puerto Rico cant vote so there is that too. I call this BS. Everyone down there heard him and saw his actions afte teh storm.

Want to know why Florida is voting blue look no further then the PRs that were uprooted and moved to Florida, to escape the mess
the bot checkers call it 75% chance of it fake so it has been reported.
Also the lady speaking was a republican senator from the Island and lives there....So how exactly is she going to cast a vote for trump? To me she is the classic PR republican ok with being a second class citizen and serving and dying for this country but they can't cast a vote

[Clyde_Style]

Um, this is not the tweet of someone campaigning to win an election. Trump is simply flaming everyone on their way out the door because that's what you do when you're a raging sociopathic narcissist facing prison time or endless days of borscht and cabbage. Sad!

Dr.Tony Fauci says we don’t allow him to do television, and yet I saw him last night on @60Minutes, and he seems to get more airtime than anybody since the late, great, Bob Hope. All I ask of Tony is that he make better decisions. He said “no masks & let China in”. Also, Bad arm! P.S. Tony should stop wearing the Washington Nationals’ Mask for two reasons. Number one, it is not up to the high standards that he should be exposing. Number two, it keeps reminding me that Tony threw out perhaps the worst first pitch in the history of Baseball!

Yes I get that Feinstein is completely out of touch and her hugging Graham is idiotic because there’s a chance he could be covid positive but I also think the outrage calling for her to step down is just too much. Just **** primary her and shut up until the next election.
