Every once in a while the True Jim slips out… but we have all understood it’s allways been-about owing the libs. Or red state blue state …

So by what standards do you claim victory

Because here’s a list of the top 15 highest death rates per 100k as OCT 26
Mississippi
Alabama
NJ
Louisiana
NY
AZ
MA republican governor
Arkansas
Fla. Ron’s state
RI
Georgia
Oklahoma
SC
SD
Indiana

So based this out of the top 15 states with the highest death rates per 100k 11 RED 4 are. BLUE

So if I use your play ground logic on winning and losing in the real world
Red states lost

as always, you’re responding to something i never said. i never, ever said that republicans all handled covid better than all democrats. so i just don’t know who, or what, you’re responding to.

FL has a huge number of seniors, so it’s a bit messy just comparing florida’s death rates to other states who don’t have nearly as many seniors. but even if we just do that, maybe there’s something to be said about having florida’s death rates but have businesses open and kids in school and people
living their lives, rather than implementing brutal lockdowns and improving your death rate a little?

the fact ( and it’s a fact) that massive numbers of people are moving there, tells
me that americans think he’s doing ok.

tell me, why did you all post his weekly numbers when they were awful, and stop posting his weekly. umbers when they were great?

obviously it’s because this isn’t about truth, it’s about doing whatever it takes to make him look bad.

that’s the difference between us. if his death rates were the worst in the country, i’d say he blew it and should step down. but if his death rates were the best in the country, none of you would give him any credit.


let’s see where FLs death rates are in spring, because in the winter people in FL are outside, and people
i. new england are inside. maybe that helps FL. maybe not.

Conservatives actually beat liberals at something,

Nothing more

read my whole sentence. i said “sometimes” conservatives beat liberals. you’re cherry-picking my words to make it seem
like i said something i didn’t say.

you just can’t avoid making stuff up. what does it say to you, that you constantly have to make stuff up, to convince yourself that i’m an idiot?

can you go ten minutes without doing that? not lately you can’t.

i didn’t change my stance one bit. i was correcting you for mis-quoting me. i re-quoted myself. how is that changing my position, when all i did was repeat my original quote, which you misquoted in a desperate attempt to make me look dumb?

you feeling ok?

Can’t answer or won’t answer what is or was thing that conservatives did to beat the Dems on the topic under discussion.
Oh the horror I left out sometimes which in no way changes your statement

Jim you said as a always, you’re responding to something i never said
What did I say you said ?
Again I just reposted what you said minus sometimes

Still waiting on what the conservatives beat the Dems at

Nothing messy at all other than the 40 Thousand dead people in Florida who would disagree with you, if they could. That's the difference between Florida and Vermont or Maine's death rate.

Compare Florida to Vermont then for how many seniors there are,

Rank State Population Ages 65+ (percent)
1 Maine 20.6
2 Florida 20.5
3 West Virginia 19.9
4 Vermont 19.4

Maine and Vermont both are among the lowest while West Virginia is pretty squarely in the middle of number of infections and deaths for all time.
Florida makes the top 10 for deaths and cases
