    Well at least the NeverTrumpers have their “principled” libertarian vote to fall back on this year

    What could go wrong?

    The problem with using scare tactics to justify allowing Trump a second term is considering the consequences of Trump unleashed.

    Dead Americans by the thousands. And he doesn't care about you or anybody else. He only cares about himself, power and wealth.

    There is no easy way out. One of these men will be our president for the next 4 years.

    It is clearly a case of which is less distasteful.

    That's an easy choice.

    The man to vote as President is Joe Biden.

    Better to have principles than have no principles. People should be able to live with their decisions instead of cowering in fear like sock puppeteers desperate to change their reality.

    Agreed. Even if Harris becomes a two-term President, it's doubtful she can appoint more than 3-4.

    The older justices are Ginsburg, 87; Breyer, 81; Thomas, 71; Samuel Alito, 70; and John Roberts and Sonia Sotomayor, both 65. Elena Kagan is 60, and Trump’s two Supreme Court picks, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, are 55 and 52, respectively.

    That's ridiculous. If he posted that I would immediately ask for something to back it up. Sounds like purely conjured imagination.

    Obviously this biased piece is written purely for the purpose of reelecting Trump, and carefully contrived with that goal from the outset.

    "Police (if they survive at all) will face ..." - Shameless scare tactic.

    Piled higher and deeper: "theft-based economies and might-makes-right will replace the rule of law."

    Mixed with more realistic projections:

    "The Iran nuclear agreement will be renewed. The United States will rejoin the Paris Accord on Climate Change—and will meet its full funding obligation to the World Health Organization."

    Those things sound like a very good idea.

    "None of these examples are partisan exaggerations."

    That was a bald faced lie.
    It's just evidence Newt is a bomb-thrower. Now everyone can see where Trump gets it. Seriously, when did Trump actually do something that isn't a copy of others? Both parties brought us to this point and this journey has been in the works since the Cold War ended. Now We, the People are reaping what we've sown for 30 years.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    Biden can't wave a wand and fix everything no more than Trump can wave a wand and destroy it. It takes Congress to do either. A Democratic Congress, both Senate and House, would have a similar effect to stopping Trump.

    Nobody is expecting wand-waving nor instant fixes.

    We want somebody who cares about Americans to roll up the shirt sleeves and get to work.

    None do, IMO. Some just say they do while others don't care if you and I know they don't care. The results are often the same.

    Consider the COVID pandemic; could Congress have imposed whatever they like upon the Trump administration? Yes. Would they likely have done so? No, as the results prove: Congress is about politics first not actually caring about Americans first.

    The Triumvirate of Biden, Schumer and Pelosi will, no doubt see another Clinton gun ban on the table almost immediately after the election and signed into law by next Spring. There will certainly be other changes as the Democrats seek to jam as much mandatory law down the throats of Americans as they can until the 2022 Midterms since they know the same thing that happened in 2010 will probably happen again.

    Despite Newt's fear-mongering and other bullshit, he does make some good points in this article about what a Biden-Schumer-Pelosi Triumvirate would look like:
    https://www.newsweek.com/biden-schum...pinion-1510532
    Every time some supposed conservative or Republican explains why he or she can't be for President Donald Trump, I wonder if they have thought about the alternative—the Biden-Schumer-Pelosi machine.

    Our choice this fall is not between President Trump and President Perfection. It is between President Trump and a nightmare that would end America as we have known it...


    So what you're telling us is those three idiots haven't had a real job for more than 30 years?

    It is revealing that no conservative even attempts to defend Trump or articulate a plausible vision for Republican governance.

    Their entire party platform comes down to this:

    "Sure Trump totally sucks, but Demoncrats are even worse!"

    That's how voting for the "Lesser of Two Evils" works. If more people voted their conscience, I think we'd be better off. Not just in the election, but in each party.

    Exactly. Look at all the ABT, Anyone But Trump, folks who say they would vote for a dog catcher for President over Trump. Hardly a ringing endorsement of Joe Biden and Democratic governing principles. It's simply voting against Trump. (people can vote for whomever they want and for whatever reason but don't sit here and proclaim you (not you personally) are so different than everyone else)

    Agreed about ABT and dog catchers. That also applies to the 2016 election where it was ABH.

    The fact that Joe Biden, most certainly to be a one-term President if he wins, is the best the Democrats have to offer says something all by itself.
