August1991 Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Who is more "American"? As a foreigner, I reckon that Trump is obviously American. Biden is a dumb, typical American. Nixon? American - but smart. Kennedy? American - but shy. Obama? American - but good voice - and who seeks foreign favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardner Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 So Americans are American ? Do you have to prefix "as a foreigner", before stating obvious facts ? This is a peculiar artifact of your style. As a man, as an MLW poster, as a biped... I reckon, I believe, I opine... that... I write statements, I breathe oxygen, the world is a world. It's like you are stalling for time with a burglar, who is unaware that your wife is sneaking up behind him with the frying pan... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkman Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I think they are both dumb Americans. One is an outsider, the other a career politician. I'm kind of surprised Biden is looking like the eventual candidate, his many gaffs rival Trump and his former boss has refused to endorse him. Does Obama hate Biden more than Trump? The Dem field was pretty weak this time around. I suspect that Bloomberg would have been an effective president, but he sucks in the debate category, which basically means he looks weak on TV. It's a sad day when looks trump anything else, but there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't "support" Warren in any way, but she had her one shining moment when she destroyed Mike Bloomberg on national television. For all of his billions and New York "experience", he was reduced to political rubble in about 5 minutes. Warren use to be a Republican, same as Bloomberg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that, with Sanders/Trump/Biden, this is just an indication of how moribund are governments/politicians around the world. Meanwhile, the world's States are increasingly civilized, respectful of individuals and their rights.

WestCanMan Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Biden hasn't faced any adversity yet in this campaign cycle. He's going to fold like a cheap tent when he has to answer for all of Hunter's ill-gotten gains. Dems couldn't touch on the topic of Hunter because if they go after Joe on that topic, they're acknowledging Trump was right when he sought to get an investigation started. Trump can talk about Hunetr all day. Hunter Biden's millions in gifted job appointments/business deals will sink Joe's battleship, if he even makes it to the fall. He's clearly losing his marbles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Joe Biden has wanted to be president for a very long time. Failed twice before. Now is his chance, but time may have passed him by. Will it be a very good year ? ...Then I was thirty-five.... it was a very good year It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls Of independent means, we'd ride in limousines...their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of the year And now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs From the brim to the dregs, and it poured sweet and clear It was a very good year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to how previous European states respected individual rights, I reckon that the EU respects - willy, nilly - the individual. ==== IMHO, never in human history have we lived in States (China, Russia, European, India, South American) where we - individuals such as myself - have been as free to do what we do, with so little intrusion from the State.
