I'll make it easy for you jim... you support dishonesty and lies when you and your conservative pals insist their is no consensus

So what area do Republicans and Americans have a consensus what policy or idea

This poll is very telling on what Shephard the gop sheep are following when it comes to masks

RI is spiking beyond spring levels...not many trump supporters in RI and the spiking is in areas that are not "trump country"....this is true across the country but don't let that get in the way of the narrative that trump supporters refusing to wear masks are driving the covid fall rebound that everyone expected,,,, and which is also reflected around the world....just blame trump...

Just a country full of stupid people or people who couldn’t stand another minute with this want-to-be dictator and fool in charge.

If Biden wins and the Dems take the Senate (very likely), why would anyone assume it's anything other than normal pendulum swinging?

In 2008, Obama won, the dems controlled the house, and had a fillibuster-proof majority n the senate.

Then starting in 2010, for 10 years, a red wave swept the whole country. Now, probably thanks to trump's antics but only because of that, it's likely to go the other way.

Normal pattern...

After Mark Meadows claimed "we are not going to control the pandemic," testing coordinator Adm. Giroir said this a.m., "We can control the virus. We know how to do that." He said that means having smart policies like wearing masks, avoiding crowds & being careful during holidays.

Now think about the “pro-life” people who refuse to wear masks and say "the government can't tell me what I can and can't do with my body " and the irony will be lost on them all

Let’s be precise. It’s not getting better no matter what the clown claims. It’s getting worse. The Johns Hopkins University reports another 73,240 Americans were diagnosed with Covid-19 yesterday and another 985 Americans died from the virus yesterday. My Deepest Condolences to their loving families.

Studies Point To Big Drop In COVID-19 Death Rates
October 26, 2020

"The drop is seen in all groups, including older patients and those with underlying conditions, suggesting that physicians are getting better at helping patients survive their illness......Patients in the study had a 25.6% chance of dying at the start of the pandemic; they now have a 7.6% chance.


try to be optimistic...I know it's hard....

Besides they really care

CNN's Alisyn Camerota: "Hospitals in WI are near capacity. Does that give you any pause about going there and holding a big rally?"

Trump 2020 Press Sec. Hogan Gidley: “No, it doesn’t … the VP has the best doctors in the world around him."

[Pete F.]

"In two weeks," Trump should be a lame duck president.

But he was always a quack.

You won’t hold it against the public who blame Trump, that’s a contradiction of sorts.

why would I? ....and blame trump for what?....you seem to blame trump for everything including the sun coming up...I think, like pete, you concoct things in your head that are not necessarily true then you come here and rail against those things projection them on others...it's odd

Well, if you’re brain dead enough to think this is something and someone who deserves your vote.........

“What are your top priority items for a second term?"

This was Trump’s full answer. Savor it:

"Well, one of the things that will be really great -- you know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience, I've always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It's a very important meaning. I never did this before. I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington, I think, 17 times, all of a sudden, I'm president of the United States. You know the story, I'm riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady and I say, this is great. But I didn't know very many people in Washington. It wasn't my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York. Now, I know everybody and I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes like, you know, an idiot like Bolton. All he wanted to do was drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to kill people."

Afterward, he was given multiple chances to give a better answer, but he never did.

The thing is, I don't care how he articulated his answer to that question. The true answer, is that he oversaw an administration during which, a record-number of Americans claimed they were better off thnn 4 years ago, and that was during a global pandemic.

Pete, how do you explain that a record number of people say they're better off now than 4 years ago? Never before have more Americans claimed they were better off. How did that happen, what makes them feel that way?

I suppose you'll try to tell us the article doesn't say what it explicitly says?

This was during a pandemic? What would the % have been if they asked this last November? Everyone except ISIS sleeper agents would have said they were better off.
