It could be that polling is getting better. The error is progressively getting smaller. But it's never perfect, so just saying that Trump is not losing in your polls, doesn't mean he's "way up."

Or it could be that Kamala sucks as a presidential candidate just as she sucked at being VP, and folks know what a disaster she would be to this country if elected.

You keep saying that. I don't see any part of the vice president's job that she was bad at. She broke every tie in the senate, and worked well with the Biden Administration. What do you think makes her worse than Pence or Cheney?

Vice President Harris was only maligned because apparently Republicans don't know what "border czar" means, and mistakenly gave her that title. The vice president is not the border czar. On the other hand, Harris chairs the National Space Council. She's also led efforts to reduce migration in Central America, as well as improving voting in the US, on top of championing women's health care and reproductive rights.

Yes it was a mistake to give her that job. She failed at it miserably. .. I didn’t know she was space czar, that explains why our astronauts are stuck in space with no way to get back.. another miserable failure..every tie she broke in congress turned out to be terrible for our economy.. what makes her worse than Pence or Cheney? 25% increase in food prices , gas prices, housing.. those two never had the inflation spike to 10%.. they didn’t have millions of illegal immigrants invading our country.. to bad you can’t see the clear difference in the two administrations..

"Space Czar" is not a thing. Chairing the National Space Council is a ministerial role, and the chair doesn't approve of NASA policy either way. The astronauts were never "stuck in space" as they could've rode that capsule back to Earth, but NASA did a risk analysis and chose to split the mission and extend their stay. A shift on the ISS is usually a once-in-a-lifetime chance, so neither astronaut griped about their extended mission.

And if you think grocery prices are bad here, check out any other G-20 country. Our grocery bills in relation to our average income are "dirt cheap."

And Trump's plan for tariffs on all imports is guaranteed to raise prices and start a world-wide trade war. He's such an idiot! And his idiotic plans are why "The Economist" has endorsed Harris for 2024.

In my state , NC, you can wear political attire when voting… No, I don’t want to punch Joe. He’s done, stick a fork in that Moron. Republicans are not the violent , lying scum that the democrats are. From Biden calling half the country garbage, Mark Cuban calling women republicans dumb and weak. Bill Clinton saying just because things were better under Trump is no reason to vote for him. Kamala saying nothing comes to mind of anything different she would do from the Biden administration. .. who ever is guiding her campaign doesn’t seem to be doing her any favors. This is how that empty headed bimbo would preside over our country. So go ahead and vote for four more years of weak leadership and corruption while they lie to all of us to cover their failures and their stupid immoral policies . Drag queens and shemales and men taking over womens sports are the democrats top issues. While republicans believe in secure borders , strong economy, holding violent criminals responsible for their actions, and putting Americans first.. The democrats are just the opposite, and care very little about the American people and our way of life..

Holding violent criminals responsible, like promising to pardon the Jan 6th criminals who attacked the Capitol Police? Of course, only after pardoning himself. Yes siree. A real "law & order" thing going on there. And where/when have drag queens and she-males taken over women's sports? Seems like more empty rhetoric from your average Conservative blogger.

Not a lady, but the profile is OK. Some good pictures, and you filled in the biographical information. Your text blurb is weak, where you wrote Hi...I can't see likes so if your interested send a message.

Most people know that we don't see likes unless we're premium members, and you could use that space better by describing yourself and what you're looking for. Then just toss in the line inviting the ladies to send messages.

Also, "provider" is not really a profession; it's the results of your paychecks. You could replace that with your job title and possibly start another conversation.

Anyway, you seem like a good-looking guy. Kinda look like Tom Hardy. So you should do alright, either way. But for the profile with a weak blurb and the default headline, I rate it 7/10.

Good luck!

In the main picture your eyes look bloodshot, like you're on drugs or suffering from allergies, but otherwise good.

The blurb is good, too. You claim to be a conversationalist, but there's nothing very witty in the blurb, and you left the headline as the default "Hi.." which is lame. But at least you took the time to fill in the rest of the information, and most people seem more interested in the photos, and you've got some good ones. Good job!

You seem like a good-looking guy, so you'll probably do alright. I can't see anything wrong with it, so I rate it 10/10.

Good luck!

Yeah, saw where an election official in Texas got punched in the face when asked to remove his hat with MAGA on it. It’s a shame when some Trump voters are that way. Yeah, he got arrested, booked and posted a 30,0000 bail.

Some Trump supporters?
According to Joe all Trump supporters are garbage..Lol. Is he trying to kneecap Kamala.? The worker had no business asking anyone to remove his Maga hat. No different than the pamphlets they have being handed out for either candidate at voting precincts.

The election laws have been there for decades, and in Texas, they take it seriously enough to post signs at the boundary. 100 feet (30 meters). It's the cult of Trump where voters insist on wearing their political stuff when going to vote. It's like they've lost their minds.

It's a start. You left the text blurb and headline as the default "Hi.." which is lame, and your photos are all you looking at your phone screen. At least they do a good job of showing your face, and you seem like a good-looking guy trying to grow a beard.

For better results, you could learn where the camera lens is and look into it when snapping the selfie. More light is better, so go outside during the day to take the picture. The smile is good, so keep up with that, and you could even get a friend to take your picture so you might look more natural. Just some thoughts.

Then your blurb. Take a minute and add some information about you and what you're looking for. You don't have to write a whole page, but a few sentences to tell the ladies what you're like would help make the profile look legitimate. I had to chuckle when I read "Employed" for profession. I hope that was a joke. Maybe work on that.

Anyway, you seem alright, and maybe the Saint Cloud women dig the silent type, or know how to ask the questions to get you to open up, but for the profile that looks incomplete, I'd only rate it 6/10.

Good luck!

I wonder if the democrats are going to pay people 15 dollars again to organize marches in every city again, after trump wins.
they did that in 2016
adds on craiglist in every city, i saw those adds

You checked all the cities on Craigslist? Oh, sure, that happened. More likely, people created fake posts on Craigslist to make it look like that was happening. Try to find anybody who actually got paid, or show receipts of the transaction.

Well let’s just hope he doesn’t end up calling for recounts in states he lost in like the last election which were based on false assumption.

In case you have forgot, the dems are the ones that kept the recount going for 3 weeks in Florida in the 2000 election. Some dems in congress are already talking about stopping Trump from taking the White House should he win. Jamie Raskin for one..

Yes, the Democrats called for a recount in Florida in the 2000 election. But due to some technicalities, they were denied the recount, and then the Supreme Court (the Republican-appointed majority, anyway) ruled the counting over, before Florida could complete their recount.

Compare that to the 2020 election, where Georgia and all the other close states were allowed to finish their recounts, and the Republicans kept suing and demanding more recounts. The Republicans were pretending that the Republican Secretary of State for Georgia tried to tip it to Biden when he refused to "find" 11,780 votes for Trump.

Here’s a unsettling thought. The Biden DOJ is suing the state of Virgina for removing non-citizens from the voter poles. These people checked the box for non - citizen , so the state abided by the law and removed those names.. now the DOJ is suing to replace the non-citizens back on the voter roles with 11 days before we vote. Another attempt to cheat the American voters. Who’s the real threat to democracy.. it’s plain to see…

You left out some key facts in that summary.

Those "non-citizens" are just people who checked a box on their DMV registration that indicates they aren't citizens, but others have said the DMV form is confusing, and they're probably just mistaken. Checking the wrong box doesn't renounce one's citizenship. A similar effort was made years back in Georgia and they only found 20 non-citizens out of 8.2 million registered voters, and only 9 of those had ever voted.
www.cnn.com/2024/10/25/politics/virginia-voter-purge-noncitizens/index.html

The biggest legal hang-up is that Governor Youngkin waited until less than 90 days before the election to purge the voters. It's just a political stunt, so that Republicans can point to this when Harris wins Virginia next month (polls show she's up by 6 points).

That's a very biased view. In truth, I honestly think it won't make a difference either way who we elect economy wise. Most of the inflation we experience is a global phenomena caused by continuing supply chain issues for a variety of reasons.

This election is all about foreign policy really.

Support Trump if you want the war in Ukraine to end, western europe to hate us, and to be more close to China/Russia.

Vote Kamala if you want Western Europe to love us, Ukraine to continue, and for relations with China/Russia to worsen.

It's not that the war in Ukraine will end, but that under Trump, the US will give up on Ukraine and let Russia have their way. Probably end the sanctions against Russia. Then it'll be Russia rolling into Russia and nobody will hear about the genocide of Ukrainians. The Russians have been fed the propaganda that Ukraine isn't really a country and Ukrainians are sub-human. They'll round up the people who resisted the Russian invasion and slaughter them. France and the UK may step up their foreign aid to Ukraine, but Trump, being so enamored of Putin, will simply do what Putin asks. You could call that closer relations, but it won't be based on respect from Putin or Russia--or any other country for the US.

During speech in which he used teleprompters, Trump falsely claims he doesn’t use teleprompters
www.cnn.com/2024/10/11/politics/fact-check-harris-univision-teleprompter-false/index.html

So what if Kamala Harris uses teleprompters for speeches. Every major politician since Ronald Reagan has used teleprompters for speeches. Trump implying this is bad shows that he's clueless and a hypocrite.

And as "incompetent" as she is, she still handed DJT's butt to him at the debate, and didn't fall apart under interrogation by Bret Baier on Fox News. So, there's that.

13 million viewers for Kamala's two interviews? Not bad. And who do you think Trump is converting at his rallies? That all-women "town hall" Fox held was filled up with Republican voter groups, brought in specially for it.

A debate on abortion is a better discussion for your "political philosophy" thread, instead of hijacking the thread about Trump's medical records.

Yea , we’ve all heard how you Trump haters despise Fox News ( the #1) cable news network by far with viewers.. but it’s the same with all the democrats. They go straight to that talking point. Most Americans understand the democrats want to hide her as much as they can but also have her out there bashing Trump, so she gets softball questions from non-serious interviewers or washed up has beens like Howard Stern or the ding-bats on the View, or late night “ comics”… be glad she didn’t have that interview with Sean Hannity…

For 'wanthing to hide her' they're doing a lousy job. Interviews on CNN, Fox and top podcasts, she's reaching out to millions, instead of the few thousand trump might get to come to any rally.

Abortion is definitely one of the worst atrocities against humanity and this is something Democrats should think about is you’re killing a potential further voter for you.

Counterpoint: Abortion is not really anybody else's business, beyond the mother and her doctor, and potential Democratic votes aren't more important than the life of the mother or her right to make her own healthcare decisions.

What do I think? I think Trump has done numerous hostile interviews over the last 8 years. In fact, what you saw tonight is what Trump has powered through from the very night he went down the escalator and its never let up since. Tonight was the VERY FIRST TIME Kamala has ever been somewhat held to the fire by anyone in the media, and she bombed.

It's blatantly obvious what her/their "plan" is: It's NOT "Here, let me explain who I am, how I think about things, and my vision", rather, its "I'm not Trump so vote for me". Period.

And frankly, based on years of never ever hearing Libs discuss Trumps policies (because they are better), its always been about personality ONLY. Kamala is banking her entire presidency on "I'M NOT TRUMP, VOTE FOR ME". Pretty lame, but that's pretty much all any lib I've ever talked to cared about so who knows, it might work. Still lame though.

They didn't have time to let Kamala talk about who she is, or what her plans are. Bret didn't even let her finish a sentence before interrupting.
