Go Joe!
Dump Trump!

I really do not understand the appeal Trump has with his supporters. Typically the American voter has voted for the candidate that has something in common with them, and Trump has nothing in common with the average American.
Never, in the history of American politics, as long as I have been alive that is, has there been such a president that is totally out of touch with the public, yet still has such popularity.

Everyone knows Biden is just a placeholder, and if he wins - which I don’t think he’ll do- he’ll be retired early and Harris will take over.

Imagine Michelle Obama in a debate with Trump. She’d destroy him. He’d be resorting to calling her mean, nasty and asking his supporters to watch non-existent sex tapes after getting a hiding.
Is Biden, with his declining mental abilities, anywhere near this kind of standard?
PTownsend
Empathy? Trump is genomically incapable of having any regard for any other human in any way except perhaps one of his family.
Nearly 170,000 deaths from Covid45, nearing 5,400,000 sickened, an economy in shambles, millions out of work with no job prospects, and Trump plays golf. At one of his properties. On the taxpayer's dime.

Trump fans thought that during the 2018 midterms , that was when the economy was good and there was no failed pandemic response. result was a 10million vote slaughter by the Dems.
Both Biden and Harris would both make far better presidents than Trump, and ghost white Pence, always hovering in Trumps background
wtfjapan
Is Biden, with his declining mental abilities,
Trump fans keep saying that while keeping a straight face lol. Trumps the one in mental decline
Alzheimer's runs in his family.
then we have a fit Biden regularly jogs and rides bikes. Can you imagine Trump and overweight junkfood addict trying to do those, now that would be some funny shite right there LOL
Jimizo
Trump’s mind is a toilet. I heard one great description of it as like blowing up a balloon, not tying the end up, releasing it and watching it fly around the room making farting noises.
It still doesn’t change the fact that Biden is clearly struggling with mental decline
mtuffizi
if anyone think biden has declining mental abilities, sure his condition is still way better than trump.

Well, her speech was good, moving, powerful to her base, no doubt and completely devoid of truth and facts. Can she create excitement for Biden? We just don't know, but Sanders was good at least the man doesn't have any cognitive problems Biden has, he was straight and to the point, but his Marxist policies will definitely alienate a lot of moderates, but will be catnip for his Bros.
plasticmonkey
Kasich's speech was great. Trump hates anyone who speaks truth to his idiocy.
I may not agree with everything Kasich has done, but he is a man of integrity. America needs more people like him.
Jimizo
Watch his speeches and follow his twitter feed. It’s a toilet of name-calling, lies, conspiracy theories, rambling gibberish, grandstanding, non-existent sex tapes, dodgy videos from racist groups, memes of hitting his opponents with golf balls etc.
This is not a healthy mind. It isn’t even a decent one.
Yubaru
One of many things no one will ever say is one of the qualities that Trump has.
Come to think of it, I wonder, just what redeeming values or qualities DOES Trump have?
JohnSmith
Those on the America hating left, unable to accept their defeat in 2016, have been completely responsible for ALL of the chaos.
Unfortunately, it will continue for another four years because Trump will win in November - bigly - and the left are incapable of self reflection. Those few who are capable normally switch sides ;-)
darknuts
And you think Joe Biden is in touch with the common man? That is absolute lunacy. People don't support Trump because hes just like them. They support him for his policies. Trade, immigration, foreign policy, you name it. Biden has no policies that he's put forth. He represents the greedy establishment elites who ran this country into the ground. He tries to appease far left nutjobs that are burning down our cities. Why on gods green earth would anyone want to vote for this guy?
bass4funk
Who?
Ahhh, that guy, no one cares what Kasich thinks so he and (so called) Republicans think like him.
I may not agree with everything Kasich has done, but he is a man of integrity. America needs more people like him.

Premature articulation?

its just funny to me that Biden needs like 40 people, even ex-Republicans to speak on his behalf. Even Michelle Obama who taped her speech a week ago, was low effort.
Blacklabel
Joe: Elect me and I will fix/improve........(insert issue)
Reality: Joe was in government for 45 years already, what- he didnt have time to do it then?
FizzBit
LOL
You know when you start seeing useless headlines like this, the Dems and their MSM lackeys are gettin scared. They are making, or maybe they’re not making, a big mistake. Those rich Dems sure as heck don’t want no socialist movement. Biden is toast.
itsonlyrocknroll
Is Joe Biden truly the candidate to represent the Democrats?
At Joes stage in life, essentially in the twilight of a rather unremarkable political career, there is no other individual with the necessary inspired ambitious personality traits, the openness and courage to succeed.
Is Joe at 77 the next President of the United States of America?
Clearly Mrs Obama thinks so.
Is Joe Biden just the anyone but Trump candidate to hell with the consequences?
It is a fair question to ask
Bob Fosse
Haha that’ll send you know who into a right tizzy.

Known Trump hater response to the Dem convention:
yakyak
I challenge any Biden supporter to go on YouTube and research JOE BIDEN of the past. Maybe 5 or 10 years ago. He is clearly NOT the same Joe Biden of Today. His Faculties are not all there. Joe Biden is gone, this is a puppet. Don't believe me? Research and see and hear for yourself!

"A scathing attack"? Hardly....
Texas A&M Aggie
The democrat party death spiral has officially begun.
Bob Fosse
trump should try it. When he speaks for himself he sound sounds really stupid.
I’m no fan of Biden but anyone with political experience is better than trump. If they can identify pictures of animals and remember a string of 5 words, well wooohoooo, that’s a bonus.
itsonlyrocknroll
Out of how many hundred million potential candidates, the opposition political sausage machine selects Joe Biden?
Well that's democracy for you.
bass4funk
When you have to call on Michelle Obama to prop up your presidential campaign you know you're not getting the people enthusiastic. I love the part where Dems plagiarize off of Trump, too, too funny.
Bjorn Tomention
Biden is like a corn dog on a stick being held up by dems, actually weekend at bernies more like it.
People dont neccessarliy like trump nor have to to vote for him, its just the simple fact that there is no other option, hillary ? biden ? C'mon there, Trump is not a politician he hasn't spent 45 years in govt doing nothing like the other candidates the dems are putting up against him.
Biden won't get in, everyone knows he has no faculties left, he cant even remember the last word he just was told to speak.
But just keep on with the trump hate it's even more reason people will vote for him, coz the haters hate so hard.
Bob Fosse
You know when trump fans say “I love it” or “It’s too funny” that it’s really covering up a blood boiling rage or quivering fear.

She did not add 'and utter stupidity' out of politeness.
trump's government has to be the dumbest ever.
Racism does for them what intelligence cannot!!!

How long will it take for Melania to copy Michelle's speech???
Ah_so
We could all very much the same question about the current President. How could a functioning democracy elect a man so utterly unqualified and incapable as Donald Trump?
Ah_so
You got this the wrong way round. Pretty much anyone world be a better alternative to the current President.

Nonsense in two ways. First, anyone who thinks Trump started the hate and division in America must have been born yesterday. Trump has furthered it, as have many people and groups within the U.S., including Biden, but its old as the hills. Its something American politicians have been leveraging for a long, long time.
The second way its nonsense is to believe Joe is going to end it all. It was Joe Biden, not Donald Trump who was the original "tough on crime" "law and order" guy. America's prisons are overflowing, the most prisoners in world history, and the system is especially focused on getting black people in there and Biden had a hell of a lot to do with it for actually working with that super-racist Strom Thurmond to make it happen.
I hate Trump but why is every election a choice between lesser evils? Why can't America have an actual good candidate anymore?
Anyway, people can talk, talk, talk but Trump is going to lose the popular vote. And its not going to be because of talk or anything Trump actually did or didn't do. Its going to be because he had the misfortune of Covid 19 killing Americans and wrecking people's finances on his watch. He could be Jesus Christ himself at this point and he would lose. We all know how Americans vote and why. Its all about their own enrichment. Notice how America's murderous foreign policy is not even an afterthought the closer elections get? Its all about money, the one true God in America.

Because he is a racist and a bigot!!!
Apparently for the GOP these qualities replace having a functioning brain!!!
Blacklabel
Yes, pretty much anyone,...except Biden. Thats the problem isnt it? You chose Biden. then compounded it by throwing Kamala Harris (of all people) on top of that dumpster fire.
bass4funk
Hardly, Trump doesn't need anyone to speak for him because he can talk on his own, always has and Biden and Harris still won't take hard-hitting questions, won't talk to Chris Wallace or Bret Baier, the only thing that is boiling over is the anticipation of watching them both get pulled through the coals when they debate.
bass4funk
Actually it started before Trump, Clinton to be more precise.
And guess who drafted and wrote the crime bill that now has gotten our prisons filled to the brim? Hint....he's running as Trump's challenger.
Because there is no one else that can lure people like Obama, Trump and Sanders at least for now.
Doesn't matter, that's not how our system works, the popular vote is irrelevant.
He didn't, the Dems and the liberal mayors and governors did. Trump wanted to reopen the country, but nope!

bass4funk: "I love the part where Dems plagiarize off of Trump, too, too funny."
You mean like when Trump's third wife ripped off Michelle Obama's speech word for word? I think you got the names messed up when you were talking about plagiarism, especially since you yourself have cut and pasted your posts from the National Review more than once.
Bob Fosse
I didn’t choose anybody, but I imagine it makes it easier for you to think like that.
Anyway, trump donated to Harris twice and just recently said she was a good choice. Then he changed his mind and she’s “nasty”
Not the first time he’s paid money to a lady then had to publicly declare she’s nasty is it?
smithinjapan
I love all the nervous "LOL"s from Republicans, though. They know that without serious crimes by Trump and breaking the Constitution, which we all know they hate, Trump is going to lose in a landslide. The GOP is already done for a generation.

Sorry to break it to you, but this is what happens at party conventions. Here are just some of the many stars who spoke on behalf of Donald J. Trump:
Willie Robertson, redneck star of Duck Dynasty
Rick Perry, the man who couldn't remember which departments he wanted to abolish
Scott Baio ('nuff said)
Michael Flynn, traitor
Ben Carson, "genius" and collector of expensive office furniture
Ted Cruz, who couldn't quite get himself to endorse Trump but came around after Trump won the election
Jerry Falwell Jr., crotch exposer and religious charlatan
Dana White, president of Ultimate Fighting Championship

See my post above.
I suppose nobody is going to speak for Trump at his clown show next week? Wanna put money on that?
PTownsend
The proof is in the pudding Trump's made. Or probably told someone else to make for him while he's golfing at one of his properties. It's doubtful the US economy can ever recover from the messes created under Trump's time in DC where his swamp grows more fetid each day while the general population struggle to make house payments. Has anyone seen Trump's latest tax info to see how he's benefited while in office?
itsonlyrocknroll
Bullseye Ah_so, spot on.
That is the choice. What remains is truly frightening.
Both Putin, Xi climbed over the bodies, built the concentration camps murdered any opposition to forge there dictatorships.
Who will challenging them to stop? it is choice between Biden or Trump.
Vanessa Carlisle
As usual you are way WAAAAAYYY off. It started at inception of the country and reached a crescendo during the American Civil War.
You are so factually challenged I wish I was allowed to say more. More than that, I wish you would be given an ultimatum to shape up or ship out. Your partisanship is as dense as it is poison to every thread you touch.
