The 2020 thread....

Man if only they spent all the effort they do on spin into i dunno a health care plan maybe this would be a better nation

Trump campaign statement

"President Trump soundly defeated NBC’s Savannah Guthrie in her role as debate opponent and Joe Biden surrogate. President Trump masterfully handled Guthrie’s attacks and interacted warmly and effectively with the voters in the room. "

Effectively? I’m not sure he’s effectively answered a question in months.

I did think the circus was a bit too combative. Guthrie was on him from the get-go and I am not convinced she was the right person for the job.

Then again, neither was he.

Guthrie handled Donald Trump the exact way every journalist should. I fully support her being named Attorney General.

Especially since supposedly he talked internally about how he wanted to embarrass Biden in the ratings. Hilarious.

I really thought more people would watch Trump for the clown show aspect


People seem tired of his act


Anyways it’s encouraging

I also thought this.

I know I'm exactly the audience, but I feel like we are seeing the best side of Joe Biden. I mean, the post townhall shots of Joe just appearing to "chat" with the folks in the crowd shows the greater difference between the two candidates as people.
I don't know if anyone outside of my sphere actually sees that though, so who knows. People out there think Dems eat babies.
I feel like Guthrie should have said, you're the President of the United States of America, you should be the most informed person in the country/world, do you believe that Tom Hanks, Joe Biden, Hilary Clinton and others drink the blood of babies.

At this point it’s all about motivating people to vote….

We know what polls say but it really comes down to who bothers to vote and where!


There just are very few undecided voters but there are a ton of people who know their preference but wondering if it’s worth the hassle to vote….some people have to decide wether to give up 5 hours to stand in line etc.its often very cold…it’s a work day….covid….ugh. Anything Biden can do to get people excited to vote for him is important

By sheer luck or not I think Biden is doing great… like yesterday was that by design or is it just him and his staffers just let him go with it? Whatever it was it’s great

How can we be so ass backwards about voting rights? It’s shameful and infuriating

I really don’t understand how people can be undecided at this point. Perhaps these are folks who prefer not to say.

I read earlier this week that Graham has taken a lead in SC. Very disappointing.

And thanks for nothing Gov. Hogan. Some example he is setting there.

Need to take issue with @SavannahGuthrie for saying to trump “it’s not like you’re someone’s crazy uncle.”

Bizarre that we are 17 days out and Trump has failed to inject his two biggest issues into the campaign… the issues that arguably got him elected:


1.  Illegal immigration
2.  Terrorism


I suppose on terrorism - knock on wood-there haven’t been any big attacks… like sayParis or San Bernardino

But if we recall 2016 that’s what we were all talking about…things like the Muslim ban etc

It’s been very different so far this time around
