  1. A Trumplet accusing Democrats of believing in "tinfoil hat conspiracy nonsense" ....
  2. I stand by my prediction because I think that the coronavirus pandemic is going to determine the outcome of this election. Except for folks over 90, this is the biggest crisis in all Americans' life times. Trump blundered initially, but instead of doing a mea culpa, admitting he was wrong, and changing his course -- which is what public health experts have done and some governors have also done -- the moron doubled and tripled down on his claims that covid-19 was going away -- when it clearly wasn't. In fact, it's come back with a vengeance in the middle of the country. Not only are case numbers soaring, but hospitalizations are overwhelming the health care systems in many areas and the death toll mounts steadily while Covid Donnie takes his Grand Superspreader Tour to most of the states with the worst outbreaks.
  3. The Hispanic and Latino population in Florida is especially diverse, and different groups dominate in different areas. There's the Cubans who tend to vote for Republicans, but the Puerto Ricans are largely anti-Trump, especially for his response to the disaster in Puerto Rico caused by Hurricane Michael in 2018. Then there's the significant Dominican and Mexican populations. About half of the Hispanic and Latino population in Florida is native born. Florida's Hispanic and Latino population is very different from the Hispanic and Latino populations of California, Arizona or Texas.
  4. I don't think that fracking is going to be a major determinant of who wins Pennsylvania because Pennsylvanians are split pretty even on the issue with 52% opposing fracking. (Fracking Poll).
  5. Covid Donnie may not have started any wars but he's been waving the white flag for the last six months while the casualties mount relentlessly.
  6. Really? Based on what? That more than 100 million Americans voted even before the polls officially opened this morning which is more than 70% of the total vote in 2016?
  7. They assume everybody else is as unethical as they themselves are.
  8. Allen's problems as a rookie were his rawness and, during his first season, lack of good QB coaching. Despite that, he progressed through his rookie season, and with better coaching last season, he blossomed. This year, he's matured into a franchise QB. The key to that progress is that he learns from his mistakes and doesn't keep making the same ones over and over. Jones is just the opposite. He simply makes poor decisions , and he keeps them again and again. Both INTs were because he tried to make throws he couldn't instead of just throwing the ball away. Twenty games into his career, he should have at least figured out when to do that, and apparently he hasn't, especially when under pressure. He reminds me of JP Losman, who could make beautiful throws and occasional great plays, but under pressure, he always made the wrong decision.
  9. Be smart and get your flu shot. Be smarter and wear a mask and practice social distancing. November 3, 2020 - Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator, reportedly urged “much more aggressive action” against the coronavirus in an internal memo to Trump administration officials offering a bleak assessment of the pandemic still raging across the country—as the president continues to insist the U.S. has COVID-19 under control.

  10. Says the cretin who won't provide one shred of proof.
  11. Why would you expect better from supporters of a gutless bully like Covid Donnie?
  12. IOW, you got nothin' but baseless accusations. About par for Right wing nuts.
  13. If you make accusations, then own them. Who are these "dozen or so Tiberius socks " you claim are on this forum? Name them.
  14. Great "international relationships"? According to whom? Covid Donnie and his sycophants? Or maybe his hero Vladimir Putin?
  15. Here's the thread where I think we were going to put Electoral College predictions: Electoral College Contest My prediction: Biden 415, Covid Donnie 163 The coronavirus is going to take Trump down in an Electoral College landslide -- and gives Biden a 10 or more point popular vote margin. This is the worse crisis that the US has faced since the Great Depression, Covid Donnie has totally proven his incompetence and unfitness to be POTUS in his response to it, and the American people will respond just as they did in 1932.
  16. A correction ... Trump admitted in an interview to Bob Woodward that he knew that the coronavirus was far more dangerous than the seasonal flu back in January. He not only chose to lie about its seriousness -- to call it a "hoax" -- to the American people then, but he has not only continued to pretend it's no big deal for 8 months as more than 230,000 Americans have died.

  18. The Bills didn't look very hard for a starting QB for 20 years because they were playing money ball even before Mr Money Ball, Russ Brandon, took charge of the team. They were ALWAYS looking for the cheaper option, from scouting and player personnel to coaches to players, and they pretty much got what they paid for. It took a change in ownership and the firing of Brandon to allow Beane to function like a real GM and put the emphasis on winning football games rather than maximizing profits. Herbert was taken #6 IIRC, so he's not exactly dog meat. However, who knows if he ever gets truly better. As DCs "figure them out" and learn their strengths and weaknesses, numerous flashy first year starters have proven to be disappointments. I think QBs who don't show themselves special by their second year as starters, however, are really big question marks going forward. They better show marked improvement by their third seasons to warrant giving them a fifth year option -- and by marked improvement, I mean they have to improve as QBs in terms of understanding the game and making good decisions.
  19. Oh, but Covid Donnie has promised that people with pre-existing conditions will be covered by his "plan" to get rid of the ACA! He's the President, he wouldn't lie. //sarcasm off
  20. Excellent post! Georgia is another one of those Sunbelt states like Texas, North Carolina, and Arizona that are undergoing significant demographic change because of the influx of migrants into their biggest cities. They are becoming much like New York, California, Illinois, Washington, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania where the large urban metros -- the cities and their suburbs -- dominate the political conversation because that's where the bulk of the population lives. I think that Georgia not only is a Biden win, but the two Democrats running for the Senate, Ossuff and Warnock, will also win, although Warnock will likely face a January run off. I think that the spiking coronavirus cases around the country, and especially in the Upper Midwest, is going to suppress Election Day voting. I think Republicans whose families and friends have been infected and are fighting coronavirus are incensed at Trump and his sycophants' Grand Superspreader Tour and will stay home if they don't trudge to the polls to vote against Trump. I think that many people in the worst hit states who have not yet voted will not vote at all, regardless of party, and part of that will be because the Republicans have worked so hard to suppress mail-in voting. I expect that the vote on Election Day to be significantly less than the 90+ million votes already cast, probably in in the neighborhood of 60-65 million, but possibly less due to coronavirus concerns. The biggest jump in votes cast occurred between the 2000 and 2004 elections when about 17 million more people voted in 2004 than in 2000. Trump has made absolutely no effort to court any voting segment except his base all through this campaign. That gives him about 40% of the population except that he's literally been killing off some of that base with his Superspreader Tours to coronavirus hotspots since the summer. Even if he gets 90% of his base to vote for him, that's still only 36% of the electorate. While it's true that it's the Electoral College that matters, he's been consistently behind in the battleground states he needs to win to get to 270, namely Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and fighting to keep traditionally red states like Georgia and Texas with few indications that his Grand Superspreader Tour is making any headway.
  21. Senator Warren explained the GOP and Covid Donnie's health care plan perfectly in an interview a few days ago: get rid of Obamacare and then go after Medicare and Medicaid.
