Apparently the Democrats are ruining the country by having so many childless people at the top. Harris doesn't have kids. Pete Buttieg (spelling?) the Transport Secretary is gay so his kids don't count. They don't care about the future of the country. Add in his views on abortion (not allowed even in cases of rape or incest) and his view that the UK is one of those Islamist countries that has nuclear weapons and you have one giant arsehole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Vance has already said in a TV interview that if he had been in Mike Pence's position on Jan 6th, having to validate the Electoral College votes, he would have asked for alternative slates from the marginal swing states, such as Arizona and Pennysylvania, so that he could make a judgemant as to which set of votes he would accept. I can guarantee that he wouldn't have accepted Biden wins in those cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't regard someone senile as more competent than someone sentient so stop being silly. Regards the politics of each candidate as you bring up, I have no issue. America will vote for its preferred choice and so be it. The issue is the pretence from the Democratic party, Harris included, insisting that Biden WAS competent to run as candidate for re-election, now seemingly proven wrong, but is somehow still competent to run the country.

sadoldgit Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 How do you explain the many members of the Democratic Party who have been calling for him not to stand? It seems that you are seeking a conspiracy where there isn’t one. He has made the decision not to stand. He probably should have made it much earlier, but it is done. What is the problem?

Fan The Flames Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 17 hours ago, saint francis said: So the Democrats are sticking with the "Covid" excuse for dropping out rather than Biden's apparent declining mental state. I don't think anybody's buying it. So is their plan to continue to hide Biden away while he further declines yet continues to remain President, potentially until January?

whelk Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) Harris is now 11/8 to be next president. I actually think she will win now. Trump and Vance have limited appeal and Vance isn’t convincing anyone worried about Trump so not the balanced ticket, actually is more extreme. Interesting to see Harris’s VP pick but got to be a white mail -Shapiro? Heard a clip of Vance bitching about politicians without kids saying they can’t have a stake in the future. Dem’s massive campaign funds going to exploit to the full these mad rants that will put many middle ground voters off………you would hope. Now at least there is some optimism whereas there was none.

Obama is apparently favouring an open convention where multiple candidates stand. I think Harris is good enough to win against Trump, but she's prone to brain freezes, just like Biden oddly enough. The argument I guess is do you go for someone who can beat Trump or look for someone who will win for eight years not just four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guided Missile Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Whatever anyone says, for a man of 78, Trump is a decent golfer, as can be seen from this great video, with Bryson De Chambeau. Trump has challenged Biden to a golf match, giving him 20 shots and if Biden wins, Trump will donate $1M to charity. I think his money is safe.

Kind of funny how Donny gives it so much macho hard-man bluster but there he is on video openly admitting he is playing off the ladies’ tees all the way round.
