If Biden were to declare a war, it would probably improve (isolationist)Trump's chances.I predict just before the presidential election Biden will declare war, possibly with Iran. — jgill
ROFLMAO!Mr Trump will be in middle of a rally or debate, in full harangue, and despite being in excellent physical condition and of serene disposition... — 0 thru 9
Thank you, Mr Surge the Borders President. :roll: — jgill
Ironically, right now Trump seems to be holding up an immigration bill in the Senate that would help address the border that the GOP seems to approve of. — Mr Bee
I don't expect people to blame him. — Mr Bee
It's not 'ironic', it's a deliberate tactic. He's furious that if the bill goes any way to addressing the problem, then it will reflect positively on Joe Biden. He wants the problem to be as bad as possible, so he can use it against Biden and then take credit for solving it himself. — Wayfarer
Do you equally "despise" what Biden & Trump represent? Are their respective parties (coalitions) equally bad for the majority of communities in the US or equally detrimental to US interests vis-à-vis international relations (e.g. trade agreements, political treaties, strategic alliances)? Do you believe, jgill, the adverse difference between them is one of degree or a difference in kind? :chin:I despise the two candidates. — jgill

The Senate Republicans and the moderate Republicans in Congress are all furious about it. — Wayfarer
With all due respect, sir, if you believe Biden in anyway represents "the far left" (i.e. to the left of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Ralph Nader, et al), then you've not been paying attention for the last half century to Biden's political career.I despise the far left — jgill
So in your mind, woke corporate welfare-statism IS JUST AS BAD FOR YOUR COUNTRY AS autocratic ethnonational populism? Biden the neoliberal EQUALS Trump the neofascist?And I despise both Biden and Trump equally.
:up: :up:I practice harm minimisation in politics. Clearly some options are far worse than others, even if the less worse is still fundamentally flawed. — Tom Storm

I despise the far left and the far right equally. Those politicians close to the center have my respect, generally. And I despise both Biden and Trump equally. — jgill

Any more "moderate" than Biden would be useless, a complete corporate tool. I'm hoping for (at least) a solid left-liberal like Gov. Newsom or Gov. Witmer if Biden drops out.I still hope for a moderate candidate to arise from the quagmire in which we wallow. — jgill
