The only person who votes R and D is telling you how voters are likely looking at Biden's commercial in a State he MUST win.

My post was not a response to yours. I'm not sure how it would even be possible for me to look past your weighty experience with Michigan voters, and the insights you choose to share here.

I'm thinking that if the election is about the pandemic, Trump loses, because 70% of the country thinks he has fucked things up. I'm also thinking that he would prefer to make the election a referendum on scary blacks rioting and looting in cities, and I'm not sure that will work, in part because I'm not sure he can count on police officers to keep shooting blacks in the back, on camera and for no good reason, and I think it would take something like that to keep the fear of riots in the news and to get voters to forget the pandemic throughout the fall. Hope I'm right.

Biden ought to be running ads targeting to midwestern states with pictures of empty stadia and a voiceover saying, e.g., "Michigan State would be playing Purdue this Saturday if Trump hadn't botched the pandemic. If you're a fan of Big-10 football, vote for Joe Biden."

Thanks for the patronization, but Big Ten football fans blame the Big Ten for pulling the rug when the SEC is going forward, hell this weekend ESPN was full of High School football being played in front of live (for now at least) fans.

They can blame Trump too.

It was. Ineffectively.

People trust Joe. They just don’t think he’ll be president very long. Harris is the fracking problem. Industry is skittish already because it’s a boom/bust business. If Biden were 65 and he didn’t have to placate progressives, different story. If Harris hadn’t said what she did, different story. People in NY who’ve lost out on income due to state ban see how it impacts neighbors.

Everyone’s pricing in a Harris presidency. Frackers aren’t part of her world.

Frackers aren't really part of any realistic long term future (but don't tell them).

What do you mean Harris? It's the planeload of dark guys people are really worried about.

Are they also pricing in that Congress, not the Vice President, writes the laws about fracking?

Re: Objectively intelligent.

Apropos of the President's tweet this morning:

Quote:
It never ends! Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate - FAKE NEWS. Perhaps they are referring to another candidate from another Party!
Duncan Black makes an excellent point, which is that no one was reporting that he had a series of mini-stroke. So clearly he had mini-strokes.

Seth Abramson makes an interesting point on twitter.

tl:dr

Trump showed Rona symptoms which is why he went to military hosp meaning they knew about Rona in November.

Not really seeing the link there to 'rona symptoms. He just says "Trump was *ill* between November 12 and November 15—ill, as it happens, with cold/flu-like symptoms consistent with some sort of virus."

I'm saying that if the military had *feared* Trump's cold/flu was the result of a weaponized virus, he'd have been rushed to Walter Reed.

The libertarian struggle is real, people.

Libertarian Sen. Rand Paul wants to subpoena antifa travel records.

Got it. Missed the end of that thread. That makes sense.
