I don't see voting for Trump as rewarding the establishment at all. I think they'd prefer Trump lose so they can take full control of the GOP again.
I view the Jonah Goldberg and David French types as nothing more than paid establishment mouthpieces. These people are content surrendering the culture to the leftist.

Every so often, I quietly wonder if we're being subjected to some grand social experiment...,
I view myself as a moderate, not some hardcore conservative. I've voted Dem plenty of times since the 80's. frick it, I still haven't switched party registration, so technically I'm still a Dem.
I felt like after Obama's 2 terms, we needed a Republican in office, just to bump back towards the center.
As late as 2014, maybe early 2015 I'd have laughed in your face if you suggested Donald Trump would be the guy who emerged. And I'd have told you that if he did, it would hand the presidency over to the Dems, barring insane disaster.
We got insane disaster, in the form of BLM protests and cop killings, at absolutely the right time. Couple that in with Hillary (a person I detest) and fricking Commie Bernie as the candidates, he squeeked through.
Since he's been in office, he's impressed me with his production and solid policies, and he's gained my sympathy with the non-stop bullshite from the media. Yeah, he's a crude mofo, he's not a racist or Nazi. He's not some fundamentalist preacher telling "deviants" (Gays, Jews, Catholics, Muslims etc) they're all going to hell. His interaction with the press is uncivil, but his actual civil policies are about the most tolerant we've ever seen. His "attack on Muslims" was due to Middle East terrorists, where he was the only guy willing to say what everyone knew: you have to clamp down on letting people in from over there. His "attack on Mexicans" wasn't racist or anti-anything, it was stop the illegal immigration and favor/protect actual citizens of the US.
his 2016 margin was slim, he could have been vulnerable... if the Dems put a valid contender forward. Instead, they put out the worst group I've ever seen. Bloomberg, an a-hole, came in fairly late and looked decent in comparison, because the others were just laughable. Biden emerged, simply because he was maybe the least offensive of the bunch and had the most money... he can't even formulate coherent sentences. He makes Les Miles seem like a polished speaker.
Even if I WANTED to vote for someone other than Trump (and right now, I still want him for a second term), there's really been no option for going on 5 years. And the person they put up to oppose him makes it seem necessary for me to vote, because I can't begin to imagine either Hillary or Biden as the Prez.

And what pertaining to policy, specifically, would Biden have done differently or better? Because all that I’ve heard from him is he wouldn’t have shut borders down so quickly.. He whines about Trumps response and offers no specific actions he would have taken

Biden wouldn’t have to deal with it bc
1) China would have squashed (possibly not released) that shite
2) news wouldn’t report on it
3) there would be no testing so you wouldn’t know you had it bc you are in a decent BMI index without diabetes, emphysema or a litany of other bs
4) MSM: “Flu season is gonna be a booger this year” fake laugh
The response to the initial post is: These motherfrickers are dirty. Don’t get complacent. Go vote. In person. Wear your state mandated napkin.

I won't rail on you too hard as you're like 80 years old (no exaggeration for those that don't know), but you've proven time and time again how out of touch you are.
You could learn a thing or two from Trump's energy at your age.

For starters, it's an international event, and like any such "act of God" you can't blame him for it. You can only discuss his response.
Mismanage, you state?
The rest of the world has also taken this virus seriously, so it's not JUST the US.
Speaking of which, Trump was attempting to address it, when the Dems were both ignoring it or pretending it wasn't there (remember Pelosi and the "go to Chinatown" stuff?). He was talking about it while the Dems were playing their impeachment farce. Which was a farce, simply meant to annoy and embarrass him. Nobody with a brain thought it would result in his removal.
He came out with daily updates, during which he was surprisingly (for him) civil and "presidential".
He mobilized a lot of our industrial base to address the outbreaks.
He's the one who pushed the Covid checks, and was pretty instrumental in trying to alleviate the financial hit to the lower classes.
Things haven't resumed completely without a hitch, which isn't surprising in the largest free country in the world. Those hitches aren't on him, it's on regional misteps, people not complying early on or staying compliant, etc.
But we sidestepped a potential healthcare crisis. We now have an economic one, which was anticipated; and that's a field he's shown he can stimulate quickly.
And he's stayed reasonably above the fray regarding politics involved with the pandemic. He's praised the Dem governors who have done well, and he's earned grudging praise from those we wouldn't expect it from, regarding federal response and aid. By and large, he's kept the recovery talks positive. We just need to get through this, and time is what it will take.
The only social disasters that have occurred have been the Dem-connected 'protest marches' (riots and looting), and those have not been Covid related. It's been the Marxist/Anarchist wing of the Dems doing that. And there is NO question which side supports, and which side opposes that.

There is simply no way this happens. This is a fantasy. He'll get no more than 8 to 10 percent. Even blacks that like him will continue to vote straight party Democrat. Because that's what they do.

I think he pulls 25% of the black vote. Jmo

Quality post my friend, couldn't agree with your assessment more and it's something everyone should read/know.
You should post more 'round here

There’s never been an election like this one. Say what you want about recent democratic presidents/candidates, but none of them have shown the sheer cognitive impairment that Biden has. Obama, Bill Clinton, Gore, Kerry, etc. are all people I differ from politically, but they at least had functioning brains—Biden makes it more and more obvious with each appearance that he does not.
Pair this with the economic success trump has had, and I think you’ll be surprised with what happens in November.

The thing about the Democratic party not putting forth better candidates is that they don't have any... Because the whole party has lost it's mind during this process. For decades, both sides could put up some candidates that, to their voters, seemed well-spoken (GW, notwithstanding) or like decent people, with decent policies, until they got in office. Then came Trump, and he has flung open the proverbial curtain on the Wizard of Oz, and now all of the corrupt politicians on both sides are showing every ounce of who they really are to the world, because they know their freedom is on borrowed time, and they will do or say anything to shift the negative focus on Trump and his administration, to discredit them.
It's quite something to see. And yeah, Trump is crude... But he's honest with his intentions and he's got a lot of guts to put up with what he has. I don't know who else would have gone through this without folding their tent and going home. God has held that man up.

I admit I have been very worried Trump would lose in November, but with each passing day it seems like he is catching more and more momentum. At this point, I feel he is going to crush Biden by epic proportions and would be shocked if that didnt happen.
I hate how the media has treated him because I dont think they will ever stop and his place in history will never be told the way it should be told. He is not just a good President, but one of our greatest Presidents. If Mt Rushmore ever added another he should the one. He has faced obstacles that nobody would have ever thought possible yet he keeps plugging along and fighting for America. He is truly an American hero and because of the media most will never see the good he has done for our country. Breaks my heart legacy is being robbed from him.

The more Biden keeps making comments like you aint black if you don't vote for me and his comparison to blacks and Latinos this week the more they will recognize they have been taken for granted. Sounds like your coworker is getting woke the right way. He is not alone.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did some shady shite in certain communities like spreading the rumor that certain community "leaders" are able to see how everyone voted. I hope not, but it wouldn't shock me.

I think Trump has earned it. Vote for him but vote against the establishment congressmen whenever you can. Primaries and in the general elections
Posted on 8/8/20 at 7:12 am to InGAButLoveBama
If you are voting for a third party candidate, you might as well vote for Biden. If you vote against Trump and vote for someone who has no chance to win, you voted for Biden. I don’t understand your logic.
