Want to shake up the Dems a little bit - they have a really boring deal going on," Trump tweeted. "Still waiting for the Iowa results, votes were fried. Big crowds in Manchester!"

Not only was FDR kept in power, but news media were forced to hide the fact that he had polio and used a wheel chair. American voters were easily kept in the dark, because it was the radio age. If you are going to worship another country's politics, try to get it right. You only seem to like history when it is 1953.

Why shouldn't he be discriminated against? He's not a Democrat. And him as a candidate would guarantee a Trump re-election while preventing the Democrats from taking over the senate.

He's not had a good campaign. It's true that the two primaries so far have not played to his support base (almost no blacks in them) but even so he's done poorly. I mean, a gay guy beat his ass in Iowa, which is so full of religious kooks they don't even agree about evolution. 9 hours ago, -TSS- said: I wouldeven feel sorry for him if he weren't such a creepy snake.

Sanders is as much a Democrat as Trump is a Republican. Trump is a Democrat who ran for the Republicans out of convenience. Saunders was never a Democrat. He was an independent. He only ran for the Dems as it made him more legit. Nothing in what either stands for is part of their respective party's mainstream platforms. In the US independent politicians know if they don't join a mainstream party and hijack it, they do not get elected. Trump, Saunders and Biden are all decrepit. they all need a diaper change. Quote

I suspect his 'approval rating' is more a function of the shit show the Democrats are putting on, and their desperate focus on policies like slavery reparations, paying off the loans of recent college students, transgenderism, and an open border.

Maybe, but Trump has never suffered the magnitude of approval rating erosion that Obama did. Trump's base has never abandoned him, so it is far easier to demonstrate improvement with smaller gains.

But now they'll get all serious with Biden's embarrassing behaviour. Hypocrisy is just par for the course I suppose. In a way you're right, they ignore it and care more about important stuff like policy. For example, tax reform, bump stock ban, new NAFTA deal, new China trade deal, criminal justice reform, conservative supreme court judges, peace agreement in Afghanistan, etc, etc, etc. 1 Quote

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 Bernie Sanders would never win the general election, so the Democrats have finally woke from their drunken dance with "socialists" for Joe Biden, and old, white stand in for Barack Obama. The African American voter base is the foundation for the Democratic Party, and that voter base just slapped the socialists upside the head. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Mayor Pete would have everything a moderate Dem would want. But African Americans didn't like him, but they like Biden.
