Just spent the weekend in LA visiting my daughter. I can assure you, there is nothing RIGHT about California. Gas is $4.50/gallon ($1.99 in San Antonio yesterday)...150,000 homeless--homeless camps under literally every bridge/open area, people shitting in the streets, used drug needles everywhere...unreal tax rates....cities filing BK left and right...power brownouts....rampant fires because tree huggers won't allow responsible farming...the list goes on and on.

But hey, the beaches were nice.

Why didn't you tell us about the Trump campaign's deception with the photo of Air Force One at the Daytona 500? Or do lies and misinformation only matter if the other side does it?

People on here correct each other. When I post something that is factually wrong and someone(s) jump on me, I don’t care. So what. Its a message board.

Its not my job to fact check Trump. There’s plenty of others that do that- JSO, Dback, Trip, MaineJearf (even though he’s pretending to be MAGA), Jelly, Kalm, Chizzang, Densedawg, etc.
So you pick and choose who you believe. Basically, you have blind faith and blind distrust. CS.com falls into the latter bucket while Trump is in the former. Got it. :thumb:

No. Because Dback had already told us about that shortly after. Y'all need to pay attention.

The way in which party primary voters shoot themselves in the foot continues to amaze me. Like the Republicans did it during the run up to the 2016 election. They got away with it as Trump narrowly won. But he was at best maybe their 4th strongest option for the general election. Kasich was clearly their best option. All indications are he would've beaten Clinton in the popular vote and would've ended with a bigger electoral college margin as well.

Now we've got the Democrats with Sanders. I disagree with the conventional wisdom about him not being able to win. Polling both during the 2016 and during this run has consistently shown him to have the advantage over Trump. In the current RCP averages of States he's got the edge on Trump in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin (though the polls in Pennsylvania in particular are somewhat dated). It's hard for me to see how talking about him being a socialist will change things that much as everyone already knows he's a socialist.

But he's clearly not the strongest potential Democrat candidate. Biden continues to be that. And for some reason the Democrat primary voters are failing to support what appears to be their best shot.

The Bernie people are particularly bad. They are nuts. They're almost as bad as Trump people.

Maybe Biden should stop acting like a zombie and start acting like he is actually interested in becoming President?

Dems are nuts if they do. Bloomberg, just like Sanders or Biden, could literally be DOA before even before election day.

Trump was the oldest ever at 70 yrs/7+ months. HECK, Trump is borderline too old. If still alive, Bloomberg would be 78/11+ months on inauguration day. Sanders would be 79. Biden would be 78. Having an 80 something POTUS is just too damn old.

No he wouldn't because Trump has a hard ceiling. Most people in the United States are in "anybody but Trump" mode. Trump is not going to "boat race" anybody. He could win. But if he does so it's going to be a situation similar to the last time. He's almost certainly going to lose the popular vote regardless of who he runs against and it'll be a question of what happens in the Electoral College.

It doesn't matter what Biden acts like. Anybody with a brain at this point can tell he has the highest probability of winning a general election.
