    Pressure is on. Trump lashing out at the Governors. Shifting the blame as he cowers in fear in his bunker.

    He looks so weak at this moment.

    You made a generalised statement from which there is no escape for a Trump supporter and he is one therefore you called him exactly that.

    If the cap fits. If you think voting for a stupid, arrogant, racist, egotistical, narcissistic bully indicates a sound mind, then fair enough.

    I think you are nasty saying something like that.
    I could say anybody voting for either nominee is an idiot but that wouldn't be fair as there are people who will vote a certain way for reasons that suit them.

    Why are you so sure of this? I mean your obviously a big fan of the democrats or really hate trump as you've so many posts about him on a Irish message board.
    Is it crazy to think that the way some of the protests have been handled particularly in Minnesota won't mean Trump could flip them? If the goal is actually having Trump out of office I don't think the way a lot of these protests have turned violent is going to be a help.

    It's in Trump's interests in a way to have inner cities in swing states erupt into violence as they aren't voting for him anyway but the suburbs and rural areas of those states do.

    "Nasty". We're not kids in a playground ffs. You can vote for your local representative for reasons that suit you. What reasons would anyone have for voting for Trump based on his current (not past) performance?

    Big money might vote for him, armed forces, golfers, golf club owners. Just a few examples.

    And you have called everybody that would vote for him something awful.
    And I certainly would not vote for him so I'm not defending myself here either.

    Those blue marked areas represent over half the population of the United States.

    I asked you for reasons - none given. I'm sure if it was so awful, the mods will address it. You can go and pontificate on something else now. Good luck.

    Isn't that exactly the attitude that lost the Democrats the last election, a focus on winning the popular vote but loosing because it's not a popular vote 🀔

    The best thing Biden can do it just keep giving Trump rope. He's doing a great job of destroying his own campaign. Just sit back and watch him make more of a mess.

    Before yesterday, the only time they turned them off was when a president died.

    Nobody is saying Trump will win. Not polls,casinos, political commentators. Nobody except Trump.

    Throw a grand on Joseph. Biden is as dull as dishwasher though

    Bookies never offer positive odds on two runners in a head to head race. Obviously Biden isn't certain yet and I certainly wouldn't be putting money on him until he is, that's if I was willing to back him which I'm not.

    That's the thing. Trump seems to be hated but we get a screwed version here. I mean he won the last time so he does have support! But Biden just seems watery. The sleepy joe nickname is actually accurate enough

    Trump TV - Episode 2

    So, I just watched Trump tear gas and baton charge his own people so he could walk across the road to a church to hold a bible upside down ...

    He also threatened to bring the army out on home soil (not the national guard who are really a glorified FCA ) - since time since 1801 -

    Any chance he had (which was small) of winning a second term just went out the window.....

    You obviously know very little about the national guard. Highly insulting to liken them to the FCA, they, the NG, actually know what they are about.

    He's looking to mobilise the army, as well as the national guard. Last time that happened was 1993 LA riots.

    The National Guard are a bit more than the FCA a lot of them ended up in the middle East and 500 or more didn't come back.

    I am not a trump maniac and his rambling about Dominating the rioters isn't great sounding but what I'm not seeing much in this thread is much about how these events are actually going to hurt Trump, it doesn't matter that people who were never going to vote for him hate him more, landslides in certain regions don't hurt him much due to the electoral college.

    I personally think Biden has a good chance of winning as long as he doesn't run his mouth too much but where is the actual analysis of the impacts in terms of voters and districts, outrage overseas and among democrat voters doesn't tell us anything it's the swing districts that matter.
