    During CNN’s coverage of Thursday’s presidential debate, CNN reporter Daniel Dale stated that “it’s just false for Biden to say that he never said he opposed fracking.”

    Dale said, “So, in this case, Trump is correct. Biden did make anti-fracking comments during the Democratic primary in 2019 and 2020, and Trump was not lying.”

    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.

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 think the enthusiasm issue may be overstated. The left isn't enthusiastic about Biden, but that may be countered by TDS. They're enthusiastic against Trump. I'm personally going with "shy voter" margin of error which I believe is being grossly understated. I go with anywhere from a 10-20%.

        And then he threw Obama under the bus when he declared that they made a mistake and didn't correct it fast enough, then Joe said something about how he'll do a better job when he's president instead of vice president.

        So basically, Joe said Obama did a lousy job.

          Yeah, I saw that and that sort of threw me too. It was literally a subtle dig at Obama.

            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!

                The twitter thread was funny until I came across two images of dozens of liberals who were similarly confused. Then it wasn't so funny any more.

                    I agree. Shy voters are (1) people embarrassed to say they are voting for Trump (especially in urban areas)
                    and (2) people who don't want to risk being doxxed (that would be my category).

                      He must be related to the politician who thinks Guam will capsize if overpopulated.

                        Reminds me of a couple of years back when Trump was reading a speech written for him by someone else, and when he got to the word "coyotes" at the border, his ad-lib implied he thought the word meant the animal. Twitter mocked him at that time for it.

                        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.

                          In 2016, we had a Trump/Pence sign in front of our house. I don't dare put one out this election.

                            It's pretty funny, but not nearly as funny as thinking Trump meant coyote dogs are physically carrying immigrants across the border.

                              I like Brandon Tatums reply to this idiot he tweeted after he found out she was a corporate lawyer and investment Advisor, "Must be an affirmative Action hire. Haha" and before any of the liberal indentarian cricital race theory cultists on this board complain Brandon Tatum is a black man

                              I feel sorry for her constituents in Georgia I bet those that voted for her are feeling like they bought a pig in a poke.

                                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?

                                you mean a President that tries to give us hope instead of trying to create a panic making it seem as if it was worse then it was like the Democrats and MSM did after they stopped downplaying it? sheesh.
