Quote from: Copps is Magic on April 24, 2020, 11:16:36 amThe worst of it all... he will win the next election. The democrats have put forward a candidate who literally can not string two coherent sentences together and has a trail of sexual abuse claims behind him. Said it with Hilary and I will say it with Biden.It truly is something to despair over.I agree. I don't see any way Trump loses, I really don't. On a lighter (scarier?) note, in case anyone hasn't seen the Las Vegas mayor interview yet: https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1253323490356166663?s=20

BST,All that could change shortly. Those south eastern states are colluding to ensure they can get back to work asap. Maybe the penny will drop at some point when they start dropping like flies.

Maybe the penny will drop at some point when they start dropping like flies.I cannot understand what is pushing Republicans to press for a relaxation of the suppression strategy. It cannot be politically motivated. If they go back to business as usual, even at the lower end of the predictions, there will be a million deaths over the summer and the health system will cease to function. Add if the number of key workers who will be off for weeks with non-fatal doses and the carnage is barely imaginable. They'll be hounded out of office across the country in November if they allow that to happen.So why are they driving for it? Is it just rank stupidity?

Maybe I'm missing something about the US election, but I don't understand why people on the left think Trump is a shoo-in now Sanders has stepped down.The Deomocrats need to win Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan or Florida plus one of those three. They are well ahead in the first three and neck and neck in Florida according to polls.And straight Biden-vs-Trump polls have Biden well ahead nationally, and doing much, much better than Sanders did on the same polling question.

Is it just rank stupidity?Or could it be something as cynical as:Poor people with crap medical cover + greater spread of Covid-19 = bigger proportion of dead poor people = fewer Democrat voters?
If Trump does win, the Rovers foodbank gets £80 instead of £50.Silver linings and all that?
I think the American left not believing Biden can beat Trump is down to how they think he will fare in the tv debates - which are supposed to play a big part in the US elections.Personally I would be very surprised to see the elections held this November - why would Trump hold them if he thinks he might loose and he can 'postpone' them for the pandemic. There wont be a vaccine by then.

People look to leaders for leadership in crises. Especially desperate people.The man is an utter Kitson. A moral vacuum. He doesn't give a f**k who he hurts. He's repulsive.But no. You're right. He didn't tell anyone to do it. By his claims he was just trolling the Press.What a decline from FDR and JFK to this waste of skin. Pathetically making up an excuse that he is trolling the Press in the middle of a catastrophe, to hide his own narcissistic f**king stupidity.
No, he seemed to be asking his scientific advisor to see if it could be done..As if he needed to ask.!Utter hell end.. I wouldn’t wish him on Leeds.!
