August1991

I listened as I was doing the laundry. She said nothing stupid. Trump always referred to himself. "I did this... "

Stalin invaded. Truman opposed. Mao got involved. Stalin died. We all agreed to disagree.

WTF? MoonlightGraham, whether Swiss or Dutch - both created a Republic before the 1700s,

In Quebec, we have a tariff on maple syrup. Do you Americans understand what Trump is doing?

Unlike Mearsheimer, I am very optimistic. ===== We have survived a Cold War - potential disaster. We've even survived a so-called uni-polar world. Now, we're in a New World - like post 1648.

AG, I agree. People in English-Canada view Americans as we in French-Canada view Canadians.

Agreed. In this debate, the guy cannot win. But the woman can lose.

You ask the critical question. ===== No skin in the game? No vote.

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/programs/about-canada-revenue-agency-cra/income-statistics-gst-hst-statistics/federal-electoral-district-statistics-feds/feds-2019.html Old Guy, you're on your own.

Nothing Trump says will lose. IOW, Trump cannot lose this debate. But Harris can lose. She may say something stupid - a horrendous word salad. ===== I think Harris will avoid stupidity/word salad.

Hitler? ==== Agreed. Trump is not a lawyer. Harris is not a "family lawyer".

He says things that are unexpected. Vance is an original thinker.

In Canada, we say that newcomers don't win; incumbents lose elections. ==== Debates? In 1979, desperate, Trudeau Snr agreed to debate Clark. I recall Trudeau saying "Mr. Clark, you're not on top of your dossiers." Trudeau won the debate. lost the election but saved the furniture.

In my experience, debates are largely downside. Candidates don't win a debate - the other candidate loses. I can't imagine anything that Trump will say tonight that means he will lose votes. Harris may say something tonight that will nix her chances to win.

Strongly disagree. In a divorce negotiation, who would you rather have: Trump or Harris.

You see Trump the way I see Trudeau Jnr. To me, Trudeau Jnr is a fraud - only foolish women would vote for him. ==== You Americans? I reckon that you will choose the best lawyer. You Americans have a remarkable way of surviving.

Constitutions? The US Constitution (hand-written) is remarkable because it was the first description of a federal state. It is also remarkable because it provided a way to amend it. ==== The Dutch and Swiss had created such societies. You Americans put pen to paper.

Look at the counties in Illinois. The counties in Michigan, Pennsylvania. The Dems have all electoral votes.

I am thinking further. In 2024, the Dems will not only win the Electoral College - they will keep the federal House. (Hard for the Dems to keep the federal Senate.) ==== The Dems have discovered Krytonite: a US ballot is like a Canadian census form. Pennsylvania and Michigan are now like Illinois.

It is more visceral. Some women just don't like Trump. They will never vote for him. Even in a divorce suit, they would not hire him as their lawyer.

.... beta males? Huh? ... women's reproductive rights? You mean abortion?

We Canadians agree to disagree. We go along to get along.

Dougie, another predictable rant I agree with ExFlyer - except this: Generation after generation - even with newcomers - we get along...

It changes nothing. When the NDP votes against the governement on a confidence vote.... Ask Bob Rae. This is posturing.

American women are motivated by emotions?
