Trump v. Biden - quick poll

[joan1984]

Thank you, Lois...

Heard both the issues noted on radio news this morning, and have yet to look into the details. Will find out what the details are over next few days, I expect.

Hope you are enjoying watching the Democrat National Convention this week.

Your team is not doing so well, Joan.

Your hero Steve Bannon was arrested for fraud.  Seems he used money collected for building a border wall to pay for lavish lifestyles,

And your other hero, Trump, was found to have comitted perjury according to a bipartisan Senate investigation. The same investigation also showed strong ties & coordination between the Russians and the 2016 Trump campaign.

Have fun trying to spin these things into a "win" for your cause.

Joan, there are two things I've wondered about based on words you've used several times in your recent posts:

Why do you spell Biden's first name JoE?

And that do you insist on using "Democrat" when "Democratic" is more appropriate?

Inquiring minds...

" JoE " is one of Mr. Biden's Campaign Signs, and painted on the tail of his Campaign airplane, not that anyone gets to see much of the Biden Airplane, unless they happen to drive by the Wilmington, DE airport, lately.

I believe MissB’s question was why do you do it?  As in what little synapse malfunction causes you to find that significant?

Because the alt-right media told him to, and we know John is their slave.

I don't see anything on that list that he has direct control to change.

Guess he forgot about fixing the crack in the Liberty Bell.

Good point.

I noted that he wants to "Stop Endless Wars and Bring Our Troops Home," but he also wants to "Maintain and Expand America’s Unrivaled Military Strength" and "Wipe Out Global Terrorists Who Threaten to Harm Americans."

You can't have it both ways.

Lincoln Project Republican says polls undercount Trump support

Nobody wants to admit they support a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic idiot.  But that describes a lot of Americans.

Yep.  Another reason to make sure everyone votes in November.

Yep.  Another reason to make sure everyone votes in November.

I agree. The percent of eligible voters who do vote is appalling. There really is no excuse not to vote.

In 2016, according to the popular vote-count provided by The New York Times, Donald Trump received 59,705,000 votes. At the time of the election, it is estimated there were 231,556,000 eligible voters. This means Trump won the electoral college with votes from approximately 26 percent of eligible voters. In other words, 74 percent of eligible voters did not vote for the winner.

What bothers me is when those who don't vote turn around and complain about how things are going in this country.  Only when you do your part should you have an opinion

The problem with analyzing percentages is they can bite you in the ass.

Those data also mean that almost 73% of Americans did not vote for Hillary Clinton.

Yep, that was my first thought.  But I kinda sorta avoid posting in this place.

But Clinton didn’t win, despite having a majority of the votes cast, and Clinton isn’t running this time.  I assume that is why this thread is titled “Trump vs. Biden.”

The conclusion that can be drawn is that only 1 in 4 eligible voters cast a ballot for Trump in 2016.  Thus it is anyone’s game in 2020.  Turnout is of paramount importance.  That is why the Republican administration is kicking voter suppression and mail tampering into overdrive.

Maybe Lavenia can proofread that.  My eyeballs hurt.

And my BRAIN hurts!

Besides, if your local Trader Joe's is out of dried mango [sic], just buy dried apricot. They're tastier, sweeter, and have many more health benefits than dried mangoes.
