I do feel pretty good. There are a lot of indicators that are showing very positively in Trump's favor, including voter enthusiasm which is off the charts for Trump, new voter registration which is significantly higher among Republicans than it is among Democrats, and the demographics of folks attending the jam packed Trump rallies which is comprised of large numbers of first time voters, people who didn't vote for Trump in 2016, and even a significant percentage of Democrat voters.
Only thing I do know is that on election day, someone will win, and someone will lose. I think Trump will win. You think it will be China Joe. We'll eventually find out which one of us right.

I didn't watch the debate, but from some of the clips I saw, Biden seems to have had a tendency to pretend like things everyone knows is true was a lie. Like when he was shaking his head at the fact he and Obama kept immigrant children in cages, which everyone knows is true after they were corrected when they tried to falsely pass off those pics during Obama's admin as being during the Trump admin. Or calling the laptop situation Russian propaganda. If he did that throughout the whole debate -- claiming things as lies that everyone knows is true -- then that's worse than him just looking physically tried and drained.
So basically, Joe said Obama did a lousy job.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Georgia politician apparently found Trump's remark about "coyotes" in reference to illegal immigration confusing, wondering, "How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?!"
The twitter thread is comedy gold!

and (2) people who don't want to risk being doxxed (that would be my category).

Daily Mail, 2018: Did he mean actual 'coyotes'? Trump appears to mix up migrant smugglers with canines as social media mocks President with Wile E. Coyote memes
That event and the reaction to it probably drove home to Trump the correct meaning of the word, and that's probably why he uses it so often now cos it's the only technical term he knows. Pretty funny if his overuse of it in the debate was a self-own due to many in the audience not knowing the term and thinking he was talking nonsense.Last edited by Starlight; 10-23-2020, 04:23 PM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

There's something to be said for having a president who recognizes reality, and doesn't lie to the public to make us feel better.
Or would you prefer the president who lies to us?
