To think that Trump is not going to get re-elected?

There are still a few fringe types who think he’s going to get a landslide victory.

Personally I find this unlikely.

Any MNers from across the pond have a view more informed than myself?

It seems to be a central plank of the GOP to make it as hard as possible to vote

MerchantOfVenom · 29/10/2020 07:13

Goes to show their faith in their candidate.

blueangel19 · 29/10/2020 07:34

I remembered seeing riots of young people in the streets and canvassing for Corbyn.

Biden the poor man has some sort of cognitive impairment . Seems to be a puppet of some sort / front for KamalA who is no where to be seen. Trump has the us economy roaring before covid. Anyone in their right mind knows covid responses worldwide has been the same as Trumps. Democrats like Pelosi ( a multi millionaire) from politics )calling it trumps fault and a trump virus doesnt wash !! BlM protests being allowed and approved of in a sense by democratic mayors and governors is abhorrent to traditionally Democrat voters who want law and order. The state of New York under de Blasio and Cuomo, Whitmer, Newsome in California- they look like dictators and anti business which Trump is all for. I will be amazed if ordinary working Americans vote Biden
There is no contest against Trump
Hunter biden is soooo toxic. Biden = china loving
Trump not so..
Trump for all his yellow craziness had the economy on track . That's the bottom line for working Americans

Radyward · 29/10/2020 07:47

To clarify ,protesting in a democracy is absolutely correct. Rioting,looting trashing businesses attacking police without any comeuppence is just wrong. Every day Americans were horrified by what they saw happening and still happening in Philadelphia.they will vote Republican on that basis - so Altho Biden's picking up the trump haters he is losing traditional Democrat voters all over the place in key states like New york and. California .

There is one other very big difference from 2016 and that’s that we’re in the middle of a pandemic. Trump always blames China and refuses to accept any personal restrictions for his handling of COVID, when there are a thousand deaths a day.

I read somewhere that he received a lot of support from over 65s at the last election, the group that is most at risk from the virus. So, not surprisingly, he won’t fare nearly so well this time.

Radyward · 29/10/2020 07:49

I also don't believe the polls and that it's down to the wire in Michigan- whitmersr handling of the protests and lockdown was
seen as crazy.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 29/10/2020 07:51

The gal of people to listen to Biden and Trump speak, and say it's Biden who has a cognitive impairment. Hmm

blueangel19 · 29/10/2020 07:55

Radyward

There is something to be said about the people blaming Trump for these deaths but I do not want to say it. I dare to say this is the same people that call a Trump supporters non thinkers or of inferior intellect LOL

“Some of the most common signs of cognitive disorder include:

Identity confusion.

Poor Biden,my uncle has dementia and my cousin got stuck living with him during the first lockdown. My cousin can see his father in joe biden down to mannerisms, speech etc etc plus he is too old !!78 as opposed to Trumps very energetic 73

Radyward · 29/10/2020 08:40

Oh those red neck bible belt Trump supporters. over weight ,uneducated - sure that's his base ( according to the Democrats ) I feel like staying up all night .
Trump - no wars
Trump- America first
Trump- bringing troops home
Trump - brokering peace deals with Jared ( I find Jared involvement a bit sick and a bit distasteful, are we in for President Kushner 2024 ???)
Trump - successful in business an employer tho a lot inherited from Dad -not in politics 47 yrs !!!
Trump pro reopening during covid- getting USA back in bizz - people are suffering with business closed

Parker231 · 29/10/2020 08:42

Trump is displaying the signs of dementia - if you listen to his rants, he is struggling to complete a sentence, keeps repeating the same words, unsteady on stairs

Have been following the polls. After one of his rallies, Trump’s support in that geographical area goes down.

Lmao hard to blame Trump when it’s apparently the governors (some, anyway) who fucked up. It’s like blaming the EU commissioner for Europe’s numbers.

I mean, look at mainland Europe dutifully wearing their masks and accepting lockdowns. Didn’t prevent the second wave, who’s to blame for that?

blueangel19 · 29/10/2020 09:02

Yes, I wish I could get ride off the idiot from Podemos by blaming the Covid deaths on him. So ridiculous to blame Covid on the governments. Like if it is black or white.

Goosefoot Look at Hegelian dialectics for that 'world spirit'. Its fairly basic political science.

MerchantOfVenom · 29/10/2020 09:31

Biden = china loving Trump not so..

Trump has paid more in tax to China than to the US.

Some of the most common signs of cognitive disorder include:
Confusion.
Poor motor coordination.
Loss of short-term or long-term memory.
Identity confusion.
Impaired judgment

Indeed, Trump to a T, poor old thing.

My cousin can see his father in joe biden down to mannerisms, speech etc etc

Biden has a stutter. This is not news. He’s very open about it.

plus he is too old !!78 as opposed to Trumps very energetic 73

🤣 You’re funny.

Sorry just realised that sounded a bit blunt didnt meant it to

Stuffs like this is why some people blame Trump for speeding up a pandemic. Trump is anti science, who will let conservatives push their beliefs on you
blueangel19 · 29/10/2020 11:17

all Blueberries0112 I saw and heard Trump at 2nd the debate saying they are trying for a vaccine and have several possibilities so do not lie that he is anti science. People lying like this do not help Biden you know.

ListeningQuietly · 29/10/2020 11:40

The GOP has been trying to stop Blacks and Hispanics voting for decades.
The level of racial discrimination in voter registration
and blatant gerrymandering in the USA
would be deemed unacceptable bu EU election observers if it happened anywhere else

but the Land of the Free gets away with it

and now Trump is trying to break the WTO
you know, the WTO that the UK will be totally reliant on come January

Maybe not Trump but most of his supporters I used to be conservative. This means I didn't believe schools shouldn't be teaching evolution or old Earth. It means I believe sex education should only be taught in school and life starts at conception. And climate change is a hoax. Trump did ban some science involving human embryos but I am ok with that though. My conservative side never really left me. But they are definitely anti science when it comes to third trimester abortion because they refuse to understand why women are having it done.

Taught at home, not school.
