Hello Dan,

NEWSFLASH: The Wuhan Virus is/was not Trump's fault,

The coronavirus virus is neither Trump nor Wuhan's fault.

regardless of how many times the libtards say it is. Therefore, why
would it be held against him at election time?

I have not read anyone one say it is Trumps fault.

I have read many say the response could have been better. You can decide for yourself how he has done.

When you look at who he's running against, how could he *NOT* be re-elected? LOL

It's a free country with a strong democracy. Vote for the candidate of your choice.

Ttyl :-),

Hi Dan,

Four years ago, Killary couldn't imagine it, either.

Not even Trump imagined he would win.

NEWSFLASH: The Wuhan Virus is/was not Trump's fault, regardless
of how many times the libtards say it is. Therefore, why would it
be held against him at election time?

I would say the way he dealt with it (or failed to deal with it) is chasing enough of his supporters away, only the truly braindead remain ... plus the GOP-leadership.

When you look at who he's running against, how could he *NOT* be re-elected? LOL

That's not entirely untrue.

That is due to the archaic electoral college system
that remains in place. It is more of a process than an election.
Kinda screwy by European standards.

There's a lot about the US political system that we over here find extremely screwy.

For instance, what's this obsession with mail voting? Sweden has had mail voting since 1942, and we've seen absolutely no signs of voting fraud.

From what I understand, you've only found one case of voter fraud in USA, and that was in North Carolina, where a republican was discovered and his attempt was prevented. So who came up with the idea that democrats were engaged in massive voter fraud? Ah, well, how stupid of me -- it's yet another hoax from the Bunker Boy, no?

I think you're underestimating the breadth of his support. Same
mistake everybody made four years ago.

My belief is that he would have been criticized just as much if he
had reacted sooner/stronger/differently than he did. No matter
what he does, half the country will find fault with it.

Agreed. That's not a political statement, it's simply an
assessment of capability/suitability of the candidates. Biden
shows OBVIOUS signs of mental decline, likely the early stages of
dementia. Not sure how any reasonable person can deny that.

Hello Ward,

Four years ago, Killary couldn't imagine it, either.

Sure he did. He knew he had a decent chance. A good chance.
Dr. Kellyanne Conway was his chief strategist, and her plan
worked flawlessly. James Carville had his doubts before the
election, but publicly admitted her plan was genius when
the results from Florida started to come in. He said it was
all over for Clinton within ten minutes of the polls closing
in Florida. Long before the results came in from elsewhere.
That is how short the contest was, and what real political
experts knew.

Hi Dan,

Not really. 4 years ago I spent the entire summer in the USA and saw what was to be seen. Upon return I was querried about "Does he stand a chance?" and I told people "IMNSHO he will win the election because he runs a way better campaign, closer to the people" and I was laughed at. So was the single local journalist who said the same thing.

It's 2020 now however. The playing field has changed, the rules of the game have changed, "Put her in jail" is not going to work. Sexual abuse allegations? Pffttttt ... there's a Justice on the Supreme Court who knows about that.

Still 5 months to go but if elections were to be held today, Biden would be the next President.

That's not entirely untrue.

Agreed. That's not a political statement, it's simply an
assessment of capability/suitability of the candidates. Biden
shows OBVIOUS signs of mental decline, likely the early stages of
dementia. Not sure how any reasonable person can deny that.

The signs at least are not obvious to me ... so I beg to differ ...

Take care,

You should know that 5 months is an *ETERNITY* in USA politics.
What polls say today is absolutely meaningless.

Okay, that's fine. This coronavirus stuff has provided a
mechanism for Biden to have an excuse to be off the campaign trail
and largely out of sight. That has played to his advantage,
because he doesn't make mistakes when he doesn't talk.

As we get closer, that's going to change, and he won't be able to
hide his mental deterioration any longer. Watch and see what
happens.

I'll even go so far as to say this: The "powers that be" in the
DNC will find a way (or create one) to have him replaced for some
reason. It won't be the real reason, but that won't matter.
Likely it will be done at the convention, assuming one happens.
Should be quite the show. You heard it here first... :-)

Thank you, Dan. Looking forward to it. :-)

Some people just want a president to *govern*. Effectively. I'd be
fine with anyone who was open, transparent and managed the pandemic more
effectively, and had the past 3 years been about raising standards
for all Americans and adapting to a global economy. For some it's
about results, not parties.

Trump can't walk straight, fidgets constantly and can't stand still,
has balance issues, needs to lean on a podium, speaks like someone
who's suffering from some sort of brilliant/beautiful aphasia, and
goes on long rants on social media.

Hello Kurt,

assessment of capability/suitability of the candidates. Biden
shows OBVIOUS signs of mental decline, likely the early stages of

The White House released a summary of Trump's annual physical,
showing him to be fit as a fiddle. This was just a few weeks ago,
so not much would have changed since then -

Donald Trump, POTUS
Age: 73 (at the time of his annual physical)
Weight: 244 pounds
Height: 6 feet 3 inches
Blood Pressure: 121/79 mmHG
Resting Heart Rate: 63 beats per minute

See there? A true athlete. Picture of perfect health.
Best golfer we ever had, scoring 18 holes in one every
time he plays.

It happens that Bj”rn Felten -> Lee Lofaso formulated :

That is due to the archaic electoral college system
that remains in place. It is more of a process than an election.
Kinda screwy by European standards.

There's a lot about the US political system that we over here find extremely screwy.

The losing candidate can win with 20% of the popular vote.
Donald Trump did it in 2016 having almost 3 million votes fewer
than the winner. So what's a few more million to lose by and
still be declared the winner? When the saints go marching in,
the saints really go marching in.

For instance, what's this obsession with mail voting?

Donald Trump did it. Without being a registered voter. So why
not everybody else?

Sweden has had mail voting since 1942, and we've seen absolutely no signs

of

voting fraud.

First one has to be a legal resident of a state in order to register
to vote. Unless one is the POTUS, in which case where one lives does
not matter. And with Trump Tower being torn down, and Mar-a-Lago being
a club rather than a residence, that will make Trump homeless come
January 20, 2021.

From what I understand, you've only found one case of voter fraud in USA, and that was in North Carolina, where a republican was discovered and his attempt was prevented.

There have been a few more cases than that. Something akin to
about 150 over the past 10 years throughout the entire USA. Not
enough to change or affect the results of any elections.

So who came up with the idea that democrats were engaged in massive voter fraud?

George Wallace. But he changed his mind later and apologized so he
could win a fourth term as governor of Alabama. His son (another
George) said his father was wrong. But you have to remember, little
boy George is a Republican, unlike his father who was a Democrat.

Ah, well, how stupid of me -- it's yet another hoax from the Bunker Boy,

no?

Trump was only inspecting the bunker, making sure it was not infected
by only god knows what.
