This whole election has turned into the stable Donald Duck verses Goofy. I'm voting for anybody else.

Onkel Neal · 05-31-20, 09:38 PM

Yeah, that's what I did last time. sigh

I see Trump is doing his usual turning a bad situation into a worse one with the George Floyd problem.

Love the lyrics to the RKO Donald Duck cartoons.

Who's got the sweetest disposition?
One guess--guess who!
Who never never starts an argument? (Woman: Hmmmm?)
Who never shows a bit of temperament?
Who's never wrong but always right? (Donald: Yeah?)
Who'd never dream of starting a fight? (Donald: That so?!)
Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?
No one...(Donald quacks angrily) but Donald Duck! (Donald: Yeah!)

June 1st 2020 is just five (5) months and a few days till the National Electons
Nothing like last year with the GOP debating who would represent their conservative group of citizens.

President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence

VS

Senator Joe Biden with a (as yet) unknown VP by his side

What could the Democrats possibly do to balance the scales in their favor?

Senator Biden has already stated and commited to chose a woman for a running mate, but who? At least five that I know of have seriously indicated that they are interested in the job.

Two rumors have Hillary Clinton as one to be watched and Biden has already early on indicated his preference for VP would be ex President Obama's wife Michael Obama

See where I am going with this?

America in civil unrest with protest and riots including looting over an innocent black man's murder by the hands of a white policeman for the last six days in America have shocked this countries history to it's core.

The timing is perfect with so many people of every race included in the numbers of angry mob protesters.

Good thing the election is still a long ways off or Trump would be in danger of losing the election.

Against all of the odds I believe in my earlier predicted projection of a Trump/Pence victory with the surprise of President Trump giving up the WH to VP Pence ... Why has not been established yet.

No matter which dude is elected, things are not going to get better.

Skybird · 06-01-20, 09:46 AM

^ That can be taken as certain.

Why do you think this?

^ Cannot speak for Neal, but i think it is a basic underlying problem of the society (~like Skybird wrote), and if we found out which exactly we would be much better off.

Maybe not in the short term, yes. But the first step is to make sure this president is no longer in office after January 2021.

I do not know but if the current behavior of Trump in the current crisis is acceptable to any reasonable democrat, I do not know what democracy is all about...this scene where he has the bible in the hand is unbelievable.

Regardless if somebody is a right or lefty, you have to see that this man thinks and acts as a dictator. I was, and I am an Atlanticist my whole life - please make America great again.

After watching the video about Michael Obama doing these tours around the US, I wouldn't rule her out.

I'm in the UK and I'll be honest I am not all that well up on who is who in some of your politics but I do look at some the YouTube clips.

When Trump got elected at first I liked him, especially seeing all the things about Hilary, but now I'm not so sure.

I've said this before and I'll repeat it. If the name Clinton or Obama is on the 2020 ballot it will spark massive GOP voter turnout.

Biden can't win on his own merit ... Did you see him in the black church yesterday hunched over wearing his now famous mask under his chin to be able to talk.

He can't talk like Trump off the hip or walk like Trump or even lie like Trump ...

He needs help to defeat Trump and I will go so far as to say that he isn't even in control of his VP pick ... the democrats are and if they get the vote out like they do the protesters the GOP will need everyone white and black, male and female to be on Trumps side and not only the WH, but the House needs votes and the Senate needs to retain their control five months from tomorrow

Agreed, or Bush or Kennedy. We are America, we don't do dynasties (or at least, we shouldn't).

Because they are both terrible candidates. One is a fool, a scam artist, an ego-maniac who thinks the right approach to any situation is chaos, a man who has no class or tact and doesn't value class or tact. The other is a corrupt career crony politician who is clearly senile, disingenuous, and just plain goofy. So, with either as a leader, and with the state of the populace made up with ever growing numbers of PC crybabies who think the govt should take care of them, who don't feel anything difficult is their responsibility, what can we expect?

The crass fool and scam artist has a different approach then history has seen for the past 200 years. Is it the best approach? In most situations no but it going to have to be accepted for the next 4 years because Biden is on some other planet. It feels like the democrats know Biden is a loser and are simply willing to sit this one out. So Biden plays the clown and fades into obscurity.

There are things in politics which makes me wanna puke.

And it is when the opposition is taking advantage of a huge problem in the society, while they didn't do nada when they were in charge.

Have seen JB and Obama talking about these demonstration/riot in many of the American cities

In my ears it sounds like they put the blame purely on Trump.

What even worse...voters who in the lack of short time memory seems to forget what their politicians didn't do.
