Republicans fear disaster in November
By Olivia Beavers and Juliegrace Brufke - 08/06/20 06:00 AM EDT

Republicans are privately fearing the worst possible outcome in November, one that could leave them without the White House or a majority in either chamber of Congress next year.

House Republicans face numerous, almost insurmountable obstacles: a cash shortfall against the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, 27 retiring lawmakers and a Republican National Committee that is more focused on reelecting President Trump and protecting the Senate GOP majority. They also need to pick up a net 17 seats to win back the House.

While Republicans noted the political landscape appears to change by the day, some are expressing a growing sense of doom.


“If the election were today, we would lose the House, the Senate and the White House,” said one Republican source.

They should be afraid.  The party as a whole has done nothing for the voters who elected them.  And this failure has been going on since long before Trump came along.  I guess many of them thought that by hanging on to the coat tails of an enormously popular president, they wouldn't have to do anything to show why voters should continue to elect them.  Well, that popular president may not be so popular anymore and now these bums with nothing else to offer are realizing their political futures aren't so secure now as they might have been before.

If Trump goes down in flames, the rest of the party will go down with him.  And quite frankly, if that should happen, I will be cheering.  It's long past time the stupid party is destroyed and a real conservative party takes its place.

According to this article, titled 'republicans fear disaster', unnamed Republicans are pessimistic, those on the record are optimistic, and of course its all Trump's fault.

Pure nonsense!!!!  Utterings from a weak sister like Romney, or Sasse, etc.  And the UGLY TRUTH is that with what the Democommies have done with their violent Antifa and BLM groups, Americans are NOT going to vote for these clowns.  Just not going to happen.

I see a tsunami, not a landslide.  The Republicans win across the board.  The problem is how they handle that, for they tend not to get anything done.  We have yet to see in a full blown national election the impact of AOC as architect on the Democommie Party.

Concise, timely and well articulated.
Since Fremont in 1856 till Hoover in 1932, the GOP stood for strong centralized government,
aggressive trade protectionism and judicial activism, creating the governance the New Deal
Democrats latched onto and maintained up to the present.
Yet many posters insist these republicrats are conservatives. Who knew?
As Koko sang:

It doesn't matter what they will do. That is nothing but a distraction.
What matters is what the Republicans will do, which is absolutely nothing except rubber stamp spending bills.

There is no fixing this without raising up an opposition. Which Republicans have never had the belly for.

I don't disagree as to the wisdom of such a law...but lets fully acknowledge that it IS the law that the President is adhering to.

You idiots don't get it. If we lose this election, the country is done. Add 30 million illegal aliens to the vote mix and this country is Socialist for the next 3 generations. There IS no new conservative party. There IS no return to American values and small government. We essentially begin our migration towards a Chinese communist style one party rule...so any dissent you think you can make will simply and easily be squashed. At that point, you'll realize what idiocy you've been engaged in...but of course, it will be much too late to do anything but mourn for a nation lost.

Anyone dumb enough to think some new and more staunchly conservative party can rise from such a defeat deserves the coming tyranny of Socialist rule.

The point of all this is that the GOP cannot count on a Trump victory.   Indeed,  it should be planning for the eventuality of a Dem win and what it will take to fight back the next two years.   

My view is that far more resources need to be devoted to the House and Senate races.  That's the firewall that must not crumble.  We need to be prepared to play effective defense because @Mesaclone is right that a total Dem victory will be curtains for our constitutional Republic.   But if Trump loses and we can still block legislation and judges and force investigations of the hooligans,  we can recover quite nicely as early as 2022.

And we may end up a stronger and better party once Trump's in the rearview mirror.

Fear mongering bullshit.

FIRST: There is no conservatism at all under you guys either. And no return to American values, and certainly not small government.

So what YOU are saying is 'We are already there, so stop fighting it', basically.

Bullshit. Fear mongering bullshit.

Nah, nah. You guys SUCK and there needs to be a consequence for what y'all have done. Two of my friends THIS WEEK lost it all, both folded their tents forever, everything that they had is gone, to include retirement. One went from a lake house to a 80's single-wide in a hunting camp. y'all did that to him. Your Woohan shutdown destroyed them both, and to a large extent, their families.

So don't be fear mongering and finger pointing down the road... The sonsabiches RIGHT NOW is YOU.

And besides, you forgot a step, where 300m guns just get laid down or confiscated. The only response to your irresponsible fear mongering is COME AND TAKE IT.

So STUFF your Tump-o-matic-messiah bullshit in your southbound hole. I don't care what the problem is 4 elections away. The problem right now is YOU. The problem is, voting for Tumpy sure as hell don't fix NOW by a long shot, and doesn't stop THEN any damn little bit anyway.

To the woodshed for all y'all, DAMMIT.  *****rollingeyes*****

Delusional as ever, I see.   And no, it's not fear mongering and it's not BS.  It's called reality and the grim place we are at .... right now.   

You keep bleating about a mythical "conservatism" and a return to American values... but if Trump loses this November, which means that Biden and the commie-left Democrats win.... there will NEVER be a return to American values.... but a fundamental transformation away from anything and everything previously "American", including traditions, values, history and hope for a better... free... future.

I feel sorry for you, hon.   Because you really can't (or won't) see what we're faced with.  I don't think you'll have to reap the whirlwind of your delusion, however... because I do think Trump will win handily... thanks to a majority of logical, sane and realistic Americans ....understanding only too well what this election means to our future.   And after the election....you won't even gleen that you should say 'thank you' to them for saving the nation from the RL... at least for four more years.   But you probably should.

You won't, however, have to worry about any more temporary shutdowns or sedition in the streets.... since the plandemic will evaporate like it never happened... and the rioters will go back to their mommys' basement until any future orders to reappear and act up... which probably won't happen again, since Republicans probably will never win another election.

@Applewood  I think you may want to think through that thought again. Would I like to see a real conservative party in place?  Absolutely.  But, IMHO once the GOP(GOPe) goes down as we know it today, our Republic will crumble.  Take a look at who is seated in the DEM party right now; Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley , better known as "The  Squad" (as one example). They aren't your typical liberals they are radical leftist liberal extremists who are promoting and advocating socialism (if not communism).  Pelosi has even veered even more to the left because of them.  They appeal to the millennial radical left; several of their seats have been challenged, not only have they retained their seats but their challengers are just as radical.  I find this all very alarming. Certainly the situation represents an open door to Sharia law and the over throw over our government.

Anyway you look at the situation, if/when these leftists take over, (and Biden is already touting some of their policies as his campaign promises) amnesty will be granted.  There is no way mathematically than any GOP will be seated; and certainly no chance of a new and improved conservative party taking hold.

Do you honestly think that these radical leftists and the remainder of the DEM party will not dismantle and FOREVER change our Rule of Law??  Once they do, they retain the power that they've been working towards for decades.  The will ensure through their own laws, to retain power.  Much like LBJ's Great Society ensured the DEM vote only now the DEMS will be ensuring a complete takeover of our country by radical extremists and illegals so that no conservative or even moderate party will ever have a foothold in this country. Perhaps by revolution or civil war, but certainly not at the ballot box.

Probably true. But I will take my advise from those a bit closer to the actual problem.

Roamer's a friend of mine here, and he's maybe one of just a few here not voting for Trump.  I refused to vote for Trump in '16, and my vote went to a conservative 3rd party candidate, whose name I can't even remember.  I still can not stand Trump, but see this as a last stand against a sociialist onslaught.  Because when that tap is started, there is no shutting it off.  With Trump, and hopefully, a GOP senate, there is at least a tiny tiny chance of returning some fiscal sanity.

I am a 100% fiscal Hawk, some goons here call me a one trick issue pony, but realize none of it really matters if the economy unravels to shreds.

So I can see Roamer's outlook.  I cringe daily at the Trump Tweet-speak.  IN 1788 we had a choice between Washington and Adams.  In 2020....   Trump v. Biden.  Sad our country has fallen to this point. Don't we deserve better than this?

You won't, however, have to worry about any more temporary shutdowns or sedition in the streets.... since the plandemic will evaporate like it never happened... and the rioters will go back to their mommys' basement until any future orders to reappear and act up... which probably won't happen again, since Republicans probably will never win another election.

FEAR is an amazing thing. Anybody else took all your treasure and barricaded you in your room, when you got out, you'd be coming to carve off a chunk of his ass.

Fear mongering bullshit.

FIRST: There is no conservatism at all under you guys either. And no return to American values, and certainly not small government.

So what YOU are saying is 'We are already there, so stop fighting it', basically.

Bullshit. Fear mongering bullshit.

Nah, nah. You guys SUCK and there needs to be a consequence for what y'all have done. Two of my friends THIS WEEK lost it all, both folded their tents forever, everything that they had is gone, to include retirement. One went from a lake house to a 80's single-wide in a hunting camp. y'all did that to him. Your Woohan shutdown destroyed them both, and to a large extent, their families.

So don't be fear mongering and finger pointing down the road... The sonsabiches RIGHT NOW is YOU.

And besides, you forgot a step, where 300m guns just get laid down or confiscated. The only response to your irresponsible fear mongering is COME AND TAKE IT.

So STUFF your Tump-o-matic-messiah bullshit in your southbound hole. I don't care what the problem is 4 elections away. The problem right now is YOU. The problem is, voting for Tumpy sure as hell don't fix NOW by a long shot, and doesn't stop THEN any damn little bit anyway.

To the woodshed for all y'all, DAMMIT.  *****rollingeyes*****
This is why I vote for Conservatives.

My Sicilian grandmother used to put a silver quarter into the frying pan whenever she cooked mushrooms...so you don't end up eating a hallucigen.

You should try that, @roamer_1   Ya just can't eat any old mushroom growing behind your outhouse.

Roamer's a friend of mine here, and he's maybe one of just a few here not voting for Trump.  I refused to vote for Trump in '16, and my vote went to a conservative 3rd party candidate, whose name I can't even remember.  I still can not stand Trump, but see this as a last stand against a sociialist onslaught.  Because when that tap is started, there is no shutting it off.  With Trump, and hopefully, a GOP senate, there is at least a tiny tiny chance of returning some fiscal sanity.

I am a 100% fiscal Hawk, some goons here call me a one trick issue pony, but realize none of it really matters if the economy unravels to shreds.

So I can see Roamer's outlook.  I cringe daily at the Trump Tweet-speak.  IN 1788 we had a choice between Washington and Adams.  In 2020....   Trump v. Biden.  Sad our country has fallen to this point. Don't we deserve better than this?
I do not necessarily disagree with any of this, except frankly I do not understand the extreme antipathy some self described conservatives have towards Trump. Relatively speaking, he's been pretty damn good for us and I can describe how.

FEAR. And bullcrap.

Thank you? ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME? THANK YOU? FOR WHAT?
The decimation of the dollar at the printing press?
The draconian shutdowns and interruptions in supply chains?
The chickenshit inability to quell actual sedition in the streets and put the collaborators in jail?
Not just no. Oh HELL no.

@roamer_1  EVERY single point that you make I absolutely agree with and there is no denying the truth in what you are saying. None.

The alternative is the DEM party which has become a very radical party with subversives within the House chamber of Congress.

There is no viable 3rd party candidate that is going to win as to the best of my knowledge, no 3rd party candidate has even made it onto the ballot in all 50 states; therefore no way to win.  You can't win if you can't get onto the ballot.  Many states will not count a vote on a write in candidate that hasn't at least qualified. 

EVERY point that you have mentioned I agree with and I am deadset against and Trump has now put on the table a roadway to citizenship for DACA which I am also deadset against.

I will not be cheering however, when our country falls.  I'm afraid we will see a bloodbath in the streets.  Those of us who live in the burbs instead of the country will have no way to escape what's coming down the pike. I also think at that point in time the U.N. (who I believe is quietly waiting in the wings) will insert themselves to accommodate the takeover.  Some of us may survive, your chances much more likely; but our country WILL be under different rule and the Rule of Law will be changed dramatically.

The alternative is a distraction, regardless. What is important is consequences for actions. In order to have profit, there must be risk, and in order for there to be risk there must be consequence for failure. For UTTER failure... There NEEDS to be a woodshed, or 'we' are nothing different than the Democrats.

I know this sounds off, but if that is where we are, I would hope to see that civil war. At least that means there's enough like me that have kept their mud and kept their sand, and enough steeled to the cause to make a worry. And if it must, then bring it now. Not after several more iterations of shutdown and strife, wearing everything thin till all are begging for it (because that is what they are doing).

Nah. If we are there, then bring it. At least I can renew liberty for my grandchildren. I am not afraid of that. That is a hill to die on. Far better than this mumbling idiot taking our treasure and liberty a bit at a time... Frog in the pot and all.

Yeah, I know what that is too... That's why I am here instead of Chicago. Why you would stay is something we have spoken of before, but remains completely beyond me. Go get among like-minded and prepare a place for your family. Even if it is nothing more than a hunting cabin up in the sticks... The time's coming that such a place will be a sanctuary.

It's what I am doing, and will be doing for all the future. The longer i have, the better off we'll be... But I will be living there and making a way for them to come when the time is at hand.

And THAT...IS...his plan.

The problem is, there's no "rebuild" from the ashes...there's just ashes.

Roamer is still caught in some old paradigm where a big defeat for the GOP, what he calls the "cost" of electing Trump for those of us apostates who voted for the man, will force a course correction back towards stronger conservatism. When you tell him the addition of 30 million illegal voters to the rolls will forever (at least, for generations) shift our governance to the extreme left...he cries "fearmongering". He's like a man standing on a train track with train bearing down on him...who calls those asking him to step off the tracks "fearmongers".

There is no fixing this without raising up an opposition. Which Republicans have never had the belly for.

A majority of Pubs may not be worth spit, but you go to war with the army you have not the one you want.

If we lose this war there won't be an opportunity for another fight. The Rats will do what they've done in all the states and cities they have complete control of on a national level. The borders will be porous. Amnesty will be passed. Ballot harvesting will be implemented nationally. The courts will be stacked. Govt. will assume control of health care. Gun ownership will be destroyed. Globalism will be kicked into high drive.

IOW, the Rats will make sure the peasants never revolt again.

I would like to think that, but, if we see a Biden win I don't think we'll see any protests or rioting. Too many think we'll have another chance to change things at the ballot box in the future (wrong, wrong, wrong).  Trump wins on the other hand, we'll see a civil war if not worse.  The left has been pushing for their civil war for quite awhile; one in which they think they will win and they will IF indeed the rumors about U.N. troops already in this country, quietly waiting for the takeover is true.  IF not, they are going to  be met with a resistance that they never counted on.  Just my opinion.

You idiots don't get it. If we lose this election, the country is done. Add 30 million illegal aliens to the vote mix and this country is Socialist for the next 3 generations. There IS no new conservative party. There IS no return to American values and small government. We essentially begin our migration towards a Chinese communist style one party rule...so any dissent you think you can make will simply and easily be squashed. At that point, you'll realize what idiocy you've been engaged in...but of course, it will be much too late to do anything but mourn for a nation lost.

Anyone dumb enough to think some new and more staunchly conservative party can rise from such a defeat deserves the coming tyranny of Socialist rule.

So you think only the Democrats will up the violence if Trump wins.  What about Trump supporters, should Trump lose?

Trump has already lined up those he intends to blame if he loses. And while he may not directly advocate for violence, his faithful followers are already ginned up, accusing anyone who does not support or vote for Trump as traitors.  The kindling is already in place. All that's needed is a match.

You said: "No, that's happening RIGHT NOW. In a few days,  Tumpy will be heading past doubling what Obama spent in eight years... Done in FOUR. GET THIS: Y'all are TWICE the fools the Democrats are when it comes to spending WAKE UP!"

You are so right.  Because Trump gives people tacky names, I will do the same for him: "Spending/hamburger/coke/fat Trump" thinks our money is his money.  He filed for bankruptcy five times.  This time he is bankrupting our country.

"Spending/personality disorder" Trump, "ruled" by Executive Orders instead of going through congress.  If Biden, or another Democrat they manage to put in place of him, is president, the first action this person will take is cancelling all "Spending" Trump's Executive Orders immediately. 

Because "Learning Disabled" Trump shut down the country, supply lines failed.  There is a shortage of food so food prices are up and numerous grocery items are gone.  Some may never come back as farmers plowed under their crops since they could not sell them and some will not grow crops again as they don't have the money to do it. 

I have watched soups in grocery stores; well, let me change that - I have Bob check soups when he goes to the grocery; I am stuck at home.  Soups with meat in them are scarce; they are sold out quickly when shelves are restocked.  Take a look on Amazon for soups.  Those with beef meat are few; there are some chicken ones but some of those continue to be out. 

There is a reason for this.  One can live on soups with meat forever - a can of soup has liquid in it so it hydrates a person and that saves on water.  Meat and vegetables are there; heating the soup is all that is required and even that is not actually required; they can be eaten cold if there is no way to heat them. 

Smart people are stocking up on soup so they can feed the family no matter what "never asked God for forgiveness" Trump does. Check on crackers at the store.  Is it fully stocked?  Because regular bread molds so is not long term stocked, crackers can be and we are used to crackers with soup.  Numerous foods are imported and those may never come back.  Check on bottled water.  Does that section look like it did before the virus? 

Okay, I went from your spending post to people preparing for an unknown future and that requires money.  Millions of people right now have no job/incoming money and now the govn. has stopped their existence money. 

I will stop writing after I tell you this story I saw on TV yesterday:

In a California town, people were in a very long line, a thousand or more of people in person not in their cars, waiting for a box of food.  Some came in the middle of the night in order to be closer to the front of the line than those arriving later.

The reporter went up to a man in line.  He looked to be in his mid 30s.  This man was laid off some months ago and cannot find a job to feed his family.  He was near tears as he spoke to the reporter.  All those people without food and it is all over the country. 

roamer_1, How can this be fixed?

So you think only the Democrats will up the violence if Trump wins.  What about Trump supporters, should Trump lose?

Trump has already lined up those he intends to blame if he loses. And while he may not directly advocate for violence, his faithful followers are already ginned up, accusing anyone who does not support or vote for Trump as traitors.  The kindling is already in place. All that's needed is a match.

I can tell you this @Applewood IF the democrats win the Whitehouse and the senate I'm going to the mattresses.

And I never voted for Trump until the primary this year.

Roamer is still caught in some old paradigm where a big defeat for the GOP, what he calls the "cost" of electing Trump for those of us apostates who voted for the man, will force a course correction back towards stronger conservatism. When you tell him the addition of 30 million illegal voters to the rolls will forever (at least, for generations) shift our governance to the extreme left...he cries "fearmongering".

It IS fear mongering. And it is specifically supplied to avoid the blatant failures of this administration that are catching up to him with a certainty.

He's like a man standing on a train track with train bearing down on him...who calls those asking him to step off the tracks "fearmongers". Its deeply delusional...god help us all if they are too many like him. If that turns out to be the case, welcome to Nancy Pelosi's new Peoples Republic of America.

Naw. the delusion is this: You think I am the one standing on the tracks. But I'm up here in the sticks YOU are the ones standing on the tracks.

As for your fetid party, I am entirely out of Fs to give. Yours has only been a party of spineless betrayal, having accomplished NOTHING in my whole life. I am a Cubs fan, so I am quite used to long awaiting hope. But at least THAT paid off.

Burn it down? Sure. From the ashes? Nope. Burn it down, scrape the ground, and sow it with salt.
y'all SUCK, and I am all the way done. *SPIT*

And I have an exponentially higher chance of getting Conservatism out of the Constitution Party... which ought to tell you something.

I have been a fan of the Constitution Party and have been following them for quite awhile and their progress for ballot access for this November is very poor. They unfortunately are really struggling to get onto the ballot and with only 3 months to go; highly unlikely that they will be a viable alternative.  They are on the ballot in only 14 states, they are in the process of gathering signatures in 6 states and they are not on the ballot or obtaining signatures to get on to the ballot in 30 states -- that is not good news for this party.  Map @ link:

I do love their analogy of their ballot access problem (very true)

Open and equal access to the ballot is the political rights issue of 21st Century America.  Without all political ideologies having a place in the free marketplace of ideas, on an equal footing with the top two in power, life is like an ice cream shop that only serves two flavors – customers grow weary and no longer buy.  America flourishes when its citizens have real choices with which they identify philosophically.  America’s representative system of constitutional governance is doomed to fail if voters continue to be offered only vanilla and chocolate when what they really want is mint chocolate chip or a hot fudge sundae.

My view is that far more resources need to be devoted to the House and Senate races.  That's the firewall that must not crumble.  We need to be prepared to play effective defense because @Mesaclone is right that a total Dem victory will be curtains for our constitutional Republic.   But if Trump loses and we can still block legislation and judges and force investigations of the hooligans,  we can recover quite nicely as early as 2022.

I liked Castle... I don't know what's going on yet otherwise. Won't even care until after harvest. No sense investing in what won't play, and since I am not cold calling anymore, I have no need to be on top of things.

I need about a week to research candidates, and since I pay no mind at all to stump speeches and most of the debates (I will watch long-form interviews and spontaneous town halls), they have a near zero in determining a candidate to me. I vote primarily on the record. If the record is good, then I can take the man at his word, and I will look at his platform and any pertinent arguments and defenses...

It is all quite clinical, and by the numbers for me. Prevents the idiocy of emotionalism which politicians play to. I don;t want a politician. I want a statesman.

@roamer_1    @catfish1957

On May 2, 2020, the Constitution Party nominated Don Blankenship for president and William Mohr for vice-president.  I have not heard of either one of them.  I did a "search" on him and the Constitution Party is IMHO in complete disaster mode if this is the caliber of person that they are nominating to represent their party. This is obviously why they are doing so poorly with ballot access. Take a look at who he is:

Donald Leon Blankenship (born March 14, 1950) is an American business executive who was a candidate for the United States Senate in West Virginia in 2018. He was Chairman and CEO of the Massey Energy Company—the sixth-largest coal company (by 2008 production) in the United States—from 2000 until his retirement in 2010.

On December 3, 2015, Blankenship was found guilty of one misdemeanor charge of conspiring to willfully violate mine safety and health standards in relation to the Upper Big Branch Mine explosion

He has frequently spoken out about politics, the environment, unions, and coal production. In 2018, Blankenship lost a three-way Republican primary for the U.S. Senate to Patrick Morrisey. Citing false information, dirty politics and a personal unwillingness to quit, Blankenship attempted to run as the Constitution Party nominee but was unable to get on the ballot and later endorsed Morrisey.

Blankenship launched his campaign in the 2020 United States presidential election as a member of the Constitution Party on October 18/19, 2019 during a meeting of the Constitution Party national committee. According to the Constitution Party website, Don Blankenship has secured the nomination for President, along with running mate Bill Mohr.

...............Blankenship said he was "Trumpier than Trump" but that the establishment was misinforming him because they did not want him "to be in the U.S. Senate and promote the president's agenda." The national Republican leadership and allied groups made statements and ran ads against Blankenship, and the day before the Republican primary, Trump posted a tweet urging voters to vote for either of Blankenship's major primary opponents, Evan Jenkins and Patrick Morrisey, because Blankenship would not be competitive in the general election. Trump's tweet came in the wake of reporting that internal Republican polling had shown a surge in Blankenship's support among likely primary voters. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whom Blankenship harshly criticized in his campaign, reportedly urged Trump to express opposition to Blankenship.

During the Republican primary campaign, Blankenship received criticism for calling McConnell's wife a "China person....

After 5 years of "Orangeman Bad", where is THEIR motivation?

I am a little more optimistic than some.

Biden will get his 40 to 45% Dem kool-aid drinkers that always vote Dem.

As far as the great unwashed, those middle-of -the-road undecided:


Those that like Biden, won't vote for him, because they are afraid he won't last the 4 year term, if elected.

Those that don't like Biden won't vote for him, either. They are afraid that he will last his 4 year term.

I am a little more optimistic than some.

Biden will get his 40 to 45% Dem kool-aid drinkers that always vote Dem.

As far as the great unwashed, those middle-of -the-roda undecided:


Those that like Biden, won't vote for him, because they are afraid he won't last the 4 year term, if elected.

Those that don't like Biden won't vote for him, either. They are afraid that he will last his 4 year term.

Trump wins.

I sure hope you’re right.

Not so sure about that.  The main objective that has been preached even before DJT took the oath of office is that he would be a one term president and he must be stopped at all costs. The DEMS have had tat focus and everything they have done has been with that goal in mind.  I think most DEMS are going to vote for Biden regardless if they think that he will be able to fulfill his first term of presidency; especially if he names a very viable VP such as Susan Rice, Michelle Obama,  or Kamala Haris.  IMHO either one of those VP's are reason to realize that it is going to be a very difficult ticket for Trump to beat.  I think most DEM voters realize that Biden is incapable of being president and that who they are really voting for is his VP.

Good analyis, and only one point of differenece.  I really think the middle of the road van driving soccer moms are the piviotal swing votes. Will they either:

(1) Break Trump's way due to security concerns from months of rioting on TV or:
(2) Break for Biden because of the 24/7 MSM anti-Trump brainwashing,  Trump's Tweets, or COVID-19 fatigue.


Think it is going to be close.

Why would the soccer mom vote for Trump because of security concerns?  Trump sat on his thumbs way too long before he tried to do anything --- not exactly exemplary leadership behavior in times of dire straits.

So you think only the Democrats will up the violence if Trump wins.  What about Trump supporters, should Trump lose?

Trump has already lined up those he intends to blame if he loses. And while he may not directly advocate for violence, his faithful followers are already ginned up, accusing anyone who does not support or vote for Trump as traitors.  The kindling is already in place. All that's needed is a match.

Of course the Rats will up the violence, it's what socialist/marxists do.

I don't see Trump supporters doing anything until the leftists start doing what they said they would do. At that point a Governor will resist and when the Rats try using federal law enforcement to coerce compliance a real resistance will begin.

What may appear to be lip service, is still light years above the dims.  As you may have saw in Cruz' hearings on Antifa, they (democrats) choose not to even rebuke Antifa's violence. Hell, Biden and company are complicit in the matter.

You don't seem to get the reality staring us in the face right now.  IF you honestly believe that if there is a DEM win that there will ever be a chance of a GOP ever being seated again, then you are very disillusioned.  One of the very first things that they will do is grant blanket amnesty ensuring that there will never be another GOP victory; this will happen because of the number of ILLEGALS that will be granted citizenship and they will accumulate so many new voters that it will be mathematically impossible for another party to win.  Secondly, they will change the electoral process.  They will also extend the number of seats on the Supreme Court.  Any DEM victory; regaining the Senate, expanding the House and/or winning the oval office will be a disaster with NO chance of recovery.  Our Republic is gone.

There will be no chance of winning in two years if we lose this year.  Notta.  Not going to happen.  That IS reality.

You're spot on!

I wasn't a Trump supporter the first time around, but I sure am now.

There’re other security related policies being implemented now the media are almost entirely uninterested in covering. For example, the administration is kicking China’s ass right now. After decades of watching Bush, Clinton, bush and Obama bend over for the Chicoms while they and their cronies got rich this feels like blessed relief.

If Biden wins in November China is right back in business.

"Minions". lol

If you guys had only a third of the contempt for the other side we might find more common ground here.
Be silly, go ahead. The contempt I have for the Communists defies expression on an 'R' rated forum, (well, at least PG-13). I cannot say what I think should be their fate without inviting a visit from some agency.
Why anyone in their Right mind would think that puts those allegedly on the same side of the great divide between Liberals and Conservatives (look for me on the right of the latter group) beyond any criticism is beyond me. I have never agreed with ANY president 100%.
For me, Reagan's "80%", was in what he did, not in what was the object.

NO candidate would advocate all of what I would like to see, like the voting age for non-veterans/active duty service members raised to 21, for instance.
Eighteen year-olds got the vote bought with the blood of service personnel in Vietnam (I can be drafted and shot at but can't vote?), yet most who voted were never anywhere close to a uniform--or any other form of public service.
Now we have perpetual snotnoses running rampant in the streets, paid to incite (and perform) violence, loot and burn, mercenaries for the Communist cause, and they can vote. We have university students programmed to believe there are dozens of genders who couldn't pour piss out of a boot if you wrote the directions on the heel, and they can vote--because guys served in 'Nam, even as the philosophical grandparents of those snotnoses were protesting the war.

There's a lot I'd advocate that you will NEVER hear from a Republican, because it would involve getting back to the same Constitution the Democrats soil daily, and the GOP finds it often  inconvenient to back (for practical reasons, of course, namely keeping their country club going in DC)
So, if you want common ground, now you know where to look, and it damned sure isn't in the direction of the Communists/Socialists/Liberals/Leftists/or Democrats.

Check her posting history.  Seems every other post is an insult at someone who may something less than favorable or objective about Trump. Today,  she accuses me of planning a celebration of a Trump loss in an insulting manner, though I have been adamant that I support him.   True,  I may not be immune from throwing tart barbs either, but at least I try not to make a habit of it.

Then add the fact she has been zinging me since I have been here.  I have no idea what was behind her vendetta, but I am not one to choose sit idly by and be insulted at will.  I'll just leave it at that.

2) As a teaser of sorts, President Trump said that what would be made public in the coming weeks is "Mind-Boggling"!

3) Rush Limbaugh was bombarded by calls today wanting to discuss Biden and the Election, and Rush kept reminding everyone that 90 days out if a long time with an effective October Surprise typically looming up ahead.

4) Either Pres. Trump was alluding that he was going to start campaigning in earnest and he might not be back until October, or he was Going to the Mattresses based upon verified threats against him.

If some Trump supporters had their way, no one would be able to criticize Trump at any time.  In this forum, for example, I believe there are some who want to turn this into a Trump-worshiping site like FR.  I'm one of those who fled that other site for that reason.  If this place turns into FR, I'm gone.  Myst has said she won't allow that to happen and I trust our fearless leader in that regard.

Demonstrate right here to opposition lurkers that it would be a waste of their time to go out on election day, in the rain, stand around in long lines and vote for democrats, Biden has no shot, Trump is crushing it. Your time would be better spent staying at home and grouting your bathroom.

After Trump wins re-election, pick at all the nits you want. Criticize, lampoon, denigrate him, call him poopie head. But, defeating the radical left is top priority right now, not priding oneself at every turn with moral preening.

This is the cogent point. When the barbarians are at the gates, you don't bicker about rearranging the China. Nor should you be hiding in your remote tower or wooded cabin smirking and squawking about
 how "this should teach you all a lesson" as the rest of us throw ourselves into holding the gates.

And...again. Its not fearmongering if the threat is genuine. At this point, anyone arguing that it is NOT genuine is either delusional...or...so self righteous they would rather see the nation destroyed than admit to an error of judgement.

And I keep hearing this crap about some of us thinking Trump is perfect, or that we are zombies who dwell on his every tweet. That's self-serving tripe and unworthy of a fellow conservative. We ALL have issues on which we disagree with the President...on some issues we strongly disagree with him. So anyone spouting that drivel needs to just stop. Trump is vastly more conservative then Joe Biden. Trump will not lead a Socialist internal insurrection that will end this country as a free nation...Biden will. That is all any conservative with an OUNCE of intellect needs to know in order to cast a Trump vote.

It's been brought to my attention that it has to do with the intent of President Trump to get the price of prescription drugs down.

It's been a multi-billion $$$ industry and the typical U.S. citizen pays 2-3 times what they do most other places around the world.

That's always annoyed me too. The only legitimate excuse I can think of quickly is the liability costs here are probably drastically higher. Most countries don't allow people to sue for hundreds of millions of dollars because of some unforeseen issue.

In other words, you just won't tolerate anyone who won't tolerate you not tolerating Donald Trump. Got it. I think.

Actually you don't get it apparently.

No one I know here on the less than pro Trump side is wanting to ban people because they won't tow some party/philosophical line.

That isn't true the other way around and that's the point. FR wouldn't tolerate descent. You are either in or out. Not so here.

And the point being made was that if this place were to go the way of FR they'd leave. And so would I.

I am a Republican,and I am not worried at all. If Trump wins,GOOD!

If Trump loses,that is also good in the respect that I still have my rifle and am still able to carry and shoot it.

Win/Win.
 
As for the alleged "conservative Republicans" who plan on voting for Daffy Duck,who truly represents them,they don't give a damn,either. It's what they want so they can try to justify their "anybody but Trump" insanity.

@LegalAmerican

I am of a similar age and opinion,and the way *I* see it,this gives me a certain amount of freedom in that I have NOTHING to lose if the Dims take over. They are going to try to kill me because I am too old and independent to make a good slave,so AFAIAC,it will be "PARTY TIME!".

After all,it's not like I will have anything to lose.

Never will any other conservative of voting age. The left is going to come after us all with assault teams and chains.

So the reality is none of us will have anything to lose but our self-respect if we don't fight back.

Actually I think the comment is very concerning.  Perhaps he is contemplating stepping down??  In all honesty, the last couple of times that I have seen him in public he looked tired and just drained.  He addressed the public recently and fumbled on the word "Yosemite" ... not exactly a time to be fumbling when he's calling out Sloe Joe on his mental decline.  He's not a quitter, but think of all that he's been through.  He left a life of absolute luxury for a life of continual insults and accusations on an hourly basis.

The point of all this is that the GOP cannot count on a Trump victory.   Indeed,  it should be planning for the eventuality of a Dem win and what it will take to fight back the next two years.   

My view is that far more resources need to be devoted to the House and Senate races.  That's the firewall that must not crumble.  We need to be prepared to play effective defense because @Mesaclone is right that a total Dem victory will be curtains for our constitutional Republic.   But if Trump loses and we can still block legislation and judges and force investigations of the hooligans,  we can recover quite nicely as early as 2022.

And we may end up a stronger and better party once Trump's in the rearview mirror.

There’re other security related policies being implemented now the media are almost entirely uninterested in covering. For example, the administration is kicking China’s ass right now. After decades of watching Bush, Clinton, bush and Obama bend over for the Chicoms while they and their cronies got rich this feels like blessed relief.

If Biden wins in November China is right back in business.

@skeeter

Very true in the eyes of both the right and the left,but,as usual,the Big Winner is going to be decided by the "I pay attention to politics for at least 30 days every 4 years!" voters,and NOBODY knows what the hell they are going to do. Not even them.

I do THINK all this rioting by the left is going to have a BIG impact on those voters,though. They tend to be the middle-class voters with blue collar jobs,children,and mortgages,so I honestly don't see how the Dims can get their votes the way things have been going. In the past,they have always PRETENDED to be "proud Americans!",and now they are flat coming out as anti-American globalists.

I am thinking Steve and Susis Sixpak ain't going to be all that happy with them.

I think the Democrats have managed to make this election all about them and not Trump. So if Trump can avoid doing something stupid - again - all the focus is on what the Dems are doing across the country.
  • Supporting rioters while crushing peoples businesses and freedom to move about.
  • Telling all whites they are racist whether they know it or not.
  • Pushing to defund the police while crime is sky rocketing.
  • Letting prisoners out of prison to "protect them against covid" resulting in more murder and mayhem of innocence.
  • Pushing for Marxist "equality" while making some people more equal than others.
  • Increasing taxes to cover for the shortfalls that they themselves caused.
We'll have to wait until the election to know what the truth is. But that is my take.

You and I realize their faults, but keep in mind that perspective isn't being reported by the MSM; quite the opposite.  That's been a huge part of the problem for a very long time.  What we believe to be true and what they report are two different things; CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSN, MSNBC....all report the issues at hand to be the fault of Trump and the GOP.

For a very long time the MSM didn't report the violence that was happening around the country.  It wasn't until the Feds started to go in that it was being reported and then the reports were that the Feds and Trump were in the wrong.

No it isn't a perfect world that's for sure.  It's not a matter of throwing a hissy fit, it is a matter of voting for someone who is going to take this country in a better direction then the other candidate according to one's beliefs and values.  If the two candidates are going to take this country down a slippery slope; perhaps just one more slowly then the other, then the end result will eventually be the same.  So, for some, they feel there is no real viable choice.    As an example;on making a decision -- do we vote for someone who has repeatedly said that they will grant amnesty or do we vote for the other candidate who has stated that he will sign an e.o. to give a roadway to citizenship?  Please explain the difference.

This is the cogent point. When the barbarians are at the gates, you don't bicker about rearranging the China. Nor should you be hiding in your remote tower or wooded cabin smirking and squawking about
 how "this should teach you all a lesson" as the rest of us throw ourselves into holding the gates.

And...again. Its not fearmongering if the threat is genuine. At this point, anyone arguing that it is NOT genuine is either delusional...or...so self righteous they would rather see the nation destroyed than admit to an error of judgement.

And I keep hearing this crap about some of us thinking Trump is perfect, or that we are zombies who dwell on his every tweet. That's self-serving tripe and unworthy of a fellow conservative. We ALL have issues on which we disagree with the President...on some issues we strongly disagree with him. So anyone spouting that drivel needs to just stop. Trump is vastly more conservative then Joe Biden. Trump will not lead a Socialist internal insurrection that will end this country as a free nation...Biden will. That is all any conservative with an OUNCE of intellect needs to know in order to cast a Trump vote.

No one, I'm sure, is trying to persuade anyone not to vote for Trump.   But the Senate is more important.  The Senate is the firewall.  The Senate is the insurance policy if Trump's reality show ends with the words " you're fired".

Really?

Not able to open his doors by governmental dictate, no income at all, but still having to pay the rent, securiity and flooring on the goods... Damn right he's a victim... of a draconian government that curtailed his rights... Literally, by definition.

@catfish1957

There is no such creature as a "perfect person" (with me being the possible exception!),never mind a perfect President/politician,and there is nothing wrong with criticizing any of them if you think they are wrong about something.

But some childish people here take it too far,and keep insisting they will never vote for him because NOTHING he does is ever right.

Truth to tell,I don't PERSONALLY like Trump any more than you do. Maybe not even as much. The thing is MY PERSONAL like or dislike of him has NOTHING to do with "Who do I want to be President in 2021?".

In an imperfect world,you pick the one candidate of the two most likely to win,support that candidate,and do your damndest to make them change their POV of the issues you disagree with them on. You do NOT surrender the field to the candidate you would like to set on fire to watch him run across it because the guy you SHOULD support is not as "perfect" as you want him or her to be.

The truth is we all live in the real world,whether we want to or not,and we need to make plans to do whatever we can do to make it more to our liking. You don't do this by having a hissy-fit and voting for your 3rd grade teacher as a protest vote.

@sneakypete

Well put Pete.  Part of useful forum time is being objective, and understanding that that "perfectness" is unachievable. We all should hold our right to question the decisons and actions of our leaders.   Maybe I take the intellectual honesty thing too far.  Believe me, I wish DJT was batting .900 in my wheel house than the .700 he is .  Maybe I hold too much hope that Trump and campaign monitor these forums for a feedback basis.  Becuase I honestly think, if he were running a more structured disciplined campaign, he'd be putting Biden away.

Still, Mr. Trump will get my vote this November. Fact is, too much at stake not to.

This is the fourth time it will be explained to you.  POTUS IS NOT PLANNING THAT.  That is your idea, not his.  DACA went back to S.C.  Last I heard, ALL ARE TO BE RETURNED to their original land, then, they may apply to come in LEGALLY.  IF no  FELONY...that will be granted.  I think that is a fair way to deal with ANCHOR BABY'S.

So keep on, keeping on.  If some people here don't like what you say, it's their problem, not yours.

This comment was really weird. With four months before the election.
Some of the President's enemies could muster serious (as in buy your own country) money for the persons or person who managed to stop him from winning by foul means. Not presenting a direct target might be prudent at this point. While I believe the Secret Service remains professional as ever, my level of trust would drop off exponentially by the time I was dealing with most other alphabet agencies. There are people who stand to lose a lot if the swamp starts draining, and a lot of them.

Several months ago, Rudy made some really out there claims that he had information that would turn DC upside down like never before..  I believe Guliani, and maybe some of this is coming to fruition.   A sitting POTUS fearing for his own safety?  This is beyond comprehension.
So is an FBI that has, by and large violated their oaths for partisan reasons. If he has serious judicial hooks into the meat of the swamp critters, all Hell could break loose. They're symbiotic, and what gets one gets a network.

He is not a dictator and cannot simply order people rounded up willy-nilly. Barr is the veteran legal mind in the administration and is doing all that can be done within the bounds of the law...its slow and unsatisfying no doubt, but this has to been done in a manner that is above reproach. Arresting someone in a major political spectacle only to have a court dismiss the action as having been done so without sufficient grounds would be FAR worse than never arresting such a person. Make an airtight legal case against very powerful political persons across the aisle is no simple task...some seem to think the President just sits on King George's throne and commands it to be so. It doesn't, cannot, and should not work that way...though it may one day soon under future Dem single party rule.

As Barr stresses, the rule of law must be upheld...even against those of Comey, Brennan and others ilk. In the end, I believe Durham indicts some big fish...perhaps some very big fish. But if some big fish get away, you can be certain it was because there was not sufficient evidence to garner a conviction...which is different, obviously, than simply believing these people are scum and that they are guilty. Evidence is evidence...and none of us here know precisely what evidence Barr-Durham have attained.

That's right. But more to the point, frog-marching top-end Democrats to their doom (the wet dream of some) was never in the cards. He was never going to drain the swamp. And he never will.

Exactly.  Look at how many emails and evidence have been turned over and uncovered but nothing has been done.  No one has been indicted.  He appointed Sessions who was a failure as the AG and now Barr.  Barr continues to blow a lot of smoke and hot air but that's been about it.  They've all been really good at dangling that carrot making people think that they're actually doing something. They have don't squat!

I believe Barr is Trump's servant.  He prosecutes or doesn't prosecute at Trump's direction.  Look at his actions in the Roger Stone case.  Barr might say he is his own man, but I don't believe he meddled in the sentencing just because he thought the sentence sought was unfair for a first-time offender and that the fact the fist-time offender happened to be a buddy of Trump.

Remember at one time Trump and the Clintons were BFFs.  Trump used to be a Democrat till he registered Republican to run for president.  No one has ever followed up to determine whether there is still some kind of relationship between Trump and the Clintons.  If there is, then you can be sure he is not going to order Barr to investigate the Clintons.  And perhaps some of Trump's Democrat connections influenced him to order Barr to stay away from the Obamas too.

Now this could all be investigated, but every time someone questions Trump's actions or inactions, there are screams of a "coup."  Fervent supporters believe nothing he does is wrong.  My guess though is that if Trump's actions were those of another president, particularly a Democrat like Obama or Clinton, the supporters would be in an uproar.  In fact, they already have been.

If possible, allow for a moment how difficult it would be for someone in his position, an outsider without a career's worth of political contacts and favors to cash in, to 'drain the swamp' before he's had a chance to get the lay of the land and get his own people - or the right people - in key positions.

On the other hand its clear he over-promised - but what presidential candidate doesn't. If Barr doesn't cough up some key indictments I will make no more apologies for him about the 'drain the swamp' issue.

I think it is certainly a possibility Bill Clinton talked Trump into running on the Republican side to throw a monkey wrench into the GOP nomination. Bill thought he was clearing the path for his wife by hamstringing his opponents from within. Not long before Trump announced he was running as a Republican he was considered a clown on the conservative side. Even Jim Rob said as much. But the promise to build a wall sealed the deal for those who believed him. That was all that mattered. His long history of being a NY liberal was just that, history...

Both Barr and Trump keep eluding to the fact that they have key evidence and strong evidence but nothing gets done.  They've been playing that game since Trump appointed him AG.  It's nothing but smoke and mirrors and a dog and pony show.

If you are right, then Trump returned the favor by not following through on having Hillary prosecuted.

And that precious wall hasn't gone too far in four years.  It, like most of the rest of Trump's promises were not fulfilled.  He and his supporters can blame Democrats, Republicans, the so-called "deep state" or whatever, but he made the promises and that he did not carry them out is on his shoulders.  In my mind he shares the blame.

If I allow that, which I see where you are coming from, that bespeaks a certainty of ineptitude... The only logical extension of that position is that he bit off way, way more than he could chew, and he should have known better.., That is functionally inept.  So to me, to give him the benefit of the doubt necessarily requires that admission of ineptitude. To do otherwise is to admit he is a player, which is more likely... But also means he is playing something and somebody (which is also very likely, and may well be you)... without a HINT of 'Orange Man Bad', just as a sturdy rule-of-thumb, that he is a player running a game is the most obvious and reasoned position to take, according to his history, motivation, personality, and general rules of the game... And as evidenced by his actions.

Perhaps you will better understand my jaundiced eye, and realize I have little reason to ever be a true believer because I start from a critical position ALWAYS when it comes to government. I believe quite profoundly in the warning of the phrase 'I'm, from the government, and I am here to help'.

The ONLY guy I will cheer for is that guy that is there to slash and burn. To enact draconian cuts on the GOVERNMENT, not the citizens. I would leap for JOY at a man that would make 1/3rd of America jobless - that third that works for the Fed. That guy will be inerrantly and always a Conservative, dyed in the wool, because it is only Conservatives that believe that government is not your friend. Is ~NEVER~ your friend.

So if I knew right off the bat, and if I was biased from the start against Tumpy, it is only because it was quite apparent from his early history on up that he did not possess the Conservative stones to do what folks said he was going to do. The minute he crawled in bed with Turtle fixed the deal.

Yes, I jeer. Purposefully, with a pointing finger. But that is based firmly in a first premise that has proved true. The way this is fixed, the ONLY way it is fixed, is with a congress filled to bursting with Conservative paladins with hands on the levers of power, and a grand-daddy, rock-ribbed Conservative to lead them. Anything else is a waste of time and an affirmation of 'Here to Help' rather than heeding the warning.

And even at that, it will take many iterations, as many will still fall to corruption. So it will take an insistence and commitment to the cause that very few who claim conservatism possess or understand.

Hope that helps with the POV.

And its true - to my knowledge he never gave any indication, other than his 2016 campaign rhetoric, to believe he would govern in a manner I would approve of.

@Applewood

I don't know,either. Chances are it is something like dirt on one of his children,which is about the only thing I can think of would make him back-off.

Or maybe it is something so big he is saving it for the "proper time",namely his second term,because it is so "explosive" it would have complicated his first term even more. Don't forget,in his second term he no longer has to please the Dims OR the RINO's.

What I DO know,and so do you and anyone else who has ever thought about it,is that the Clintons,ESPECIALLY Bubbette! have been as quiet as church mice the last 4 years. Not sure if it is a threat from Trump or something else causing it,but it's not like either of them to avoid tv cameras.

Some of the President's enemies could muster serious (as in buy your own country) money for the persons or person who managed to stop him from winning by foul means. Not presenting a direct target might be prudent at this point. While I believe the Secret Service remains professional as ever,

@Smokin Joe

I only believe that if they were never professionals. I have no doubt the ones that personally guard he and his family are trustworthy,but the agency itself seems to now be as corrupt as the rest of the feral government.

Who knows? Maybe it has been that way all along and the Clinton's only refined it by forcing the honest ones they didn't trust into retirement,and promoting the groupies? Only the insiders know this,and they ain't talking.
my level of trust would drop off exponentially by the time I was dealing with most other alphabet agencies. There are people who stand to lose a lot if the swamp starts draining, and a lot of them.

You and I definitely agree on this somewhat and I've felt this way for quite some time. Cruz announced his run for the presidency and the left panicked; he WAS the one that could beat Hillary.  Cruz had a huge following and an excellent ground game.  If he didn't have either he would have never made it into the Senate in spite of all odds and the GOPe (Turtle) trying to stop him.  So, he had to be stopped.  Enter Donald J. Trump.  Trump went after every single one of his opponents relentlessly and ruthlessly, especially Cruz and yet he was relatively mild when it came to attacking his opponent his friend, Hillary.

Trump being the master salesman of himself, looked at what would sell; being an outsider, building a wall, and no amnesty.  I noticed that many of the ideas that Cruz had Trump expounded about and was a better seller of those ideas.  After all it was Cruz that he was inserted into the election to stop.

I don't think that Trump ever intended to win and certainly the Hillary campaign and all those that had counted on her winning were in absolute horror that he won. Trump took the reigns.  The bitterness from the DEMS, especially those in the past administration escalated and they vehemently have tried to stop everything that he has tried to do when they realized that he was going to play his own game and do things his way!  They vowed he would be a one term president; Russia gate ... impeachment... COVID.  Trump being Trump wasn't about to let them win ... so he went ahead with "his" plans and surprisingly he has made some progress along the border and has made some conservative moves and has done some patriotic things. I have no doubt when he became president he realized the economic quagmire this country was in; business and the economy have always been his forte and he absolutely succeeded.  I also believe along the way he realized the amount of corruption coming from the other side; corruption that was lurking to sink him and his economy. He's been fighting, but his liberal tendencies also shine through.

It is very troubling that he hasn't drained the swamp, the wall isn't built, the deficit has absolutely skyrocketed, he hasn't stopped the rioting in the streets and he is promising a roadway to citizenship, IOW, amnesty.

If he does go after the swamp creatures (and he won't)... then my assessment of Trump is dead wrong and I will be the first to admit it.

Again, I can see why you think that... But no laws have been passed. The illusion of nirvana, if you believe it, may be gone with a POOF! as soon as January. Step back a bit and see what actually IS being passed permanently, by way of law, and things look a whole lot different. That is my basis for the claim one should write off EOs and pay them no mind.

You may be right. It may be "professional courtesy" from the pols. After all,if a former President,VP,or 1st Lady can be charged and convicted of felonies while in office,how safe is a mere former Congresscritter or Senator?

IF that is the case,Trump is powerless to push that forward,and so would anyone else holding the Presidency. That only works in Dictatorships. Every other form of government operates on compromises.

BTW,I don't like it,but I long ago concluded nobody in the Clinton OR Bush Crime families were ever going to see charges filed,never mind a day in court. It just ain't going to happen and there is not a single thing we can do about it.

No, still myopic. Governments all over the world are enacting the same draconian measures. This is a world level play. New world order... Rise of the beast... something like that.

What is happening here is bad, no doubt, and I don't mean to belittle it... but it is incidental to the game at hand.

I don't believe the Chinese released it on purpose. They did hide that it had leaked out on purpose.

But the "never let a crises go to waste" party grabbed on to it to leverage it into what they wanted. A crushed economy filled with fear. And they have been unrelenting at it.

Fauci was head of the research team and funded the Chinese scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology on coronavirus and gain of function research -- he was also part of that research during the Obama administration -- Obama actually closed the research because there was too much risk of a pandemic.  I am not clear as to how Fauci restarted/funded that research after Trump took office.

I believe Fauci/Biden/DEMS did inflict this virus upon the world and in particular the U.S. to destroy the global economy, the U.S. economy and in particular to take Trump down.  The Chinese want to be the financial superpower and have their currency dominate. I find it too highly coincidental that all of Biden's opponents stepped down when the virus made it's entrance into the U.S.  Biden and his son Hunter have financial ties with China.  Incidentally, when Glenn Beck was researching the Bidens and Ukraine they stumbled upon the evidence of the ties with Biden, Hunter and China.  (I had previously posted that video).

Nope --in my books, Fauci, Biden and the DEMS are responsible.

Sure... And so do several others... I am predicting the 10 divisions... pretty well following the map produced by Club of Rome, will rise from this event... or subsequent iterations...

An historical view with an eye toward the occult would recognize that map as the world division once attained by Poseidon and his 10 sons in legendary Atlantis... And no, you don't have to believe it... That 'they' believe it is all it takes. And they do believe it.

They have their goals seat on controlling all of Asia for the moment,just like the European banking families have the goal of controlling all of Europe and North America.

Once they gain power,the back-fighting will start over Africa,South America,etc,etc,etc.

There is nothing new about this. They have been doing it since at least the Middle Ages. One of the Harriman Bank women was allowed to live free in Paris under Nazi occupation. She could come and go as she pleased with no restrictions. THAT's "horsepower"!

The thing is they have had to do this in hiding all these centuries. They now want to come out  in public and be the Global Kings and Queens they consider themselves to be,without fear of arrest and execution after confiscation of all their wealth. They didn't really fear the Royalty all that much because the Royalty needed them,but they were not and are not stupid people. They feared what would happen to them if the masses found out they existed and had been pulling the strings.

With the instant communications of today and the comparative ease of being able to control assets far away instantly from the comfort of your fortress,they are ready to go public.

I don't believe they are that dumb. If they were purposely going to release it you would do it somewhere else and not your own backyard. If it had popped up in South American or Africa it would have been more plausible especially for deniability. This thing is clearly Chinese and in the very city the lab that was studying it is in.

From the Abstract:
Quote
Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system2, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV. Additionally, in vivo experiments demonstrate replication of the chimeric virus in mouse lung with notable pathogenesis. Evaluation of available SARS-based immune-therapeutic and prophylactic modalities revealed poor efficacy; both monoclonal antibody and vaccine approaches failed to neutralize and protect from infection with CoVs using the novel spike protein. On the basis of these findings, we synthetically re-derived an infectious full-length SHC014 recombinant virus and demonstrate robust viral replication both in vitro and in vivo. Our work suggests a potential risk of SARS-CoV re-emergence from viruses currently circulating in bat populations.

Note that SARS-CoV-2 is exactly the sort of thing they were creating in North Carolina when their funding was pulled. A virus that attacks the same pneumocytes using the same (ACE2) receptor as the Chimera virus they created in the lab. This paper came out in Nature the following year.

I would postulate that there is a strong possibility that a more deadly version was in the works, considering that they were creating novel pathogens with enhanced capability and that the release would not have been in China, either, but it would have been convenient for the Clintons to be saviours of the world, with of course, ChiCom help, along with Gates, the UN, and a cast of dozens of power players, mostly still behind the scenes.
 
The vaccine alone would have put dozens of countries in thrall to the international bankers, and patent holders, effectively economic serfdom.--or die.

Intentionally or accidentally, this got out of the lab in time to displace the Impeachment fiasco from the Global news cycle. This was a premature release, perhaps out of desperation, using globetrotting Chinese and others to spread it, while attempting to cover up the very existence of the outbreak, a dispersal mechanism which was highly effective, yet deniable, which led to the "wet market' fable. There was a desperate need for a shift in focus, attention, and even power, not just in the news cycle, but desperately seeking leverage, once again, to disrupt this administration. Neither the Democrats nor the ChiComs have any love for Trump, the only question is one of which (actually, of many players) is most desperate to harm him, especially in the media eye.

Was there collusion? It's be hard to summarily dismiss, especially considering it was deals brokered by Bill and Hillary which really made the Chinese a force in space at all. (Recall Loral and the missing circuit boards from a failed launch that were guidance circuits provided by (iirc) Hughes Aerospace, all on the Clintons' watch).

 It was no secret that a compelling case against Trump had not been made, long before the results were official.

Something, (from the Democrats and the Chinese POV) needed to be done.

I don't believe in coincidences, and too much has fit too well for that, but just possibly, it was a mere accidental release, of a lab-crated virus from a BSL-4 facility, funded in part by NIAID money, with Fauci's okay...

And many of them just bought homes and cars and started careers.

I point this out because that's exactly how I experienced Ronald Reagan.  After hours' long gas lines on odd-even days...after 17% fixed-rate 30 year mortgages were the best available...Ronald Reagan changed my life.

I love your example of how Reagan not only transformed America, but changed the world for the better!

It's starting to look like Biden has topped out. Trump is narrowing the polls and there is no way the polls are truly reflecting the American people. There are a lot of conservatives who are just keeping their heads down till election day. IOW, Trump is probably ahead and may be well ahead. The beltway and media live in an echo chamber. They aren't using any common sense that God gave them. An overwhelming majority of us want to live in peace. We want safe streets. We like the police, except when they give us a ticket. We love our country. The Rats don't represent any of those things.

Trump has shifted gears. He not only is catching sleepy Joe, he is going to be passing him shortly if he hasn't already.

I wouldn't place to much hope in the Black vote. There is an incredible amount of pressure to stay in line. Kanye West though is a bit of a wild card. In the States where he's on the ballot he may pull 2-3% of the younger Black vote, that may be key.

The worst thing for Dems to allow happen is to have Republicans fearful.  If they think the win is in the bag, folks might not turn out assuming the win, but with the threat the Democommunists have a shot, and the Republicans will turn out in force.  IN FORCE, and that is why with their continued support of the anarchists in the streets burning everything down, you better believe the Republicans will be out in force, and there just isn't enough dead people to make up the votes.

What you are saying is true, but at the same time the Dems have to offer up a member of the oppressed minority, whether a female, black, or both.

I don't believe they are that dumb. If they were purposely going to release it you would do it somewhere else and not your own backyard. If it had popped up in South American or Africa it would have been more plausible especially for deniability. This thing is clearly Chinese and in the very city the lab that was studying it is in. A leak is much more likely, especially considering how Chinese like to cut corners doing things.
Oh, it was planned.  Perhaps released a bit early but check this out:
