    Gardner / Ernst / Grassley all in

    which leaves Mittens - forget him- and Collins going out as a disgraced loser
    that's 50 - 50 even without Mittens

    If the GOP was composed of honorable people, they would follow the precedent they set in 2016 and refuse to consider anyone nominated by #TRE45ON till after the election. We know, of course, that they are not honorable.

    "After Kavanaugh, everything changed with me.".

    No room for honorable after the Kav fiasco.

    The DNC (nor anyone else) supports the 'burning & looting'.

    But, ... I get your drift.

    Mann: "The DNC turned to open violence, intimidation and thuggery across the country ... without having thought it through ... and now are afraid to adopt the needed platform to win because that will anger the thugs."
    Jack: Pretty sure it's NOT the 'DNC' out on the streets committing acts of violence. (Not really a 'Vote-Getter')

    Mann: "The DNC needed to counter Trump's job creation and unprecedented low unemployment ... and got AOC to cancel Amazon creating jobs in New York."
    Jack: Sounds like a Local Issue. Like, there's already TOO MANY FUCKING PEOPLE in Brooklyn.

    Mann: "The DNC have openly advocated stealing the election through massive voter fraud perpetrated via mail-in voting ... believing that Americans want political parties doing that."
    Jack: HA! There's a Pandemic. People prefer 'Mail-In Voting' (especially Old People) rather than stand in line with lots of Other People. Trump installs a Major Donor as Postmaster ... who immediately begins removing 'Sorting Machines' and 'Corner Mailboxes'. So ... who's trying to cause Chaos and Disrupt the Election?

    Mann: "The DNC has its gullible moron votors not only regurgitating fake polls that have Biden leading ... but requires them to totally believe them."
    Jack: The ONLY Poll that counts is on Nov. 3rd.
    Thank you for documenting this. We will revisit this on or after 4 November.

    Yes, to the extent that the DNC will refer to Trump's offers to help in quelling violent riots as "fascist attempts by a NAZI dictator."

    The DNC nurtures violence, fosters its escalation and encourages it to thrive at all Democrat controlled locations near you. If you act now, the DNC will throw in gunfire exchange absolutely free. Hurry, the first 50 orders will receive this beautiful matching shattered glass set, all you pay is shipping and torching.

    This is a clear reflection of your poor judgement.

    Given all of Trump's rallies and his ability to talk for hours, this nonetheless appears to you to be a rehearsed speech?



    I'll give you a hint, when Trump does that thing with the hands, he's readjusting on the fly. When he's about to recite something prepared/rehearsed, he turns his entire body about 32-45 degrees, usually to his right (when he does this, he usually leans on the lectern if there is one).

    He probably doesn’t know, his staff doesn’t inform him about a lot of things. At least it’s what he always claims.

    trump gets tired at about an hour. he can do a stream of consciousness for about an hour, but that is about it. There is usually not much that makes sense in that stream of consciousness. It really is the rantings of a madman. The time he spent a few minutes chanting "I like Ike" comes to mind. his family history of Alzheimer's is really showing.

    Most people start to tire long before that and wouldn't mind it just being over. Trump, however, has never cut an event short. I still don't understand how your limited understanding of speech is somehow Trump's fault.
