I understand your point. But as for results.... a man with the exact same policies as a Trump who is just a better person would have a less fractured society.... thus better results. I want our President to be a role model, not just a good mechanic.


The "better person" did not come along. I can say from years of hiring people that you never, ever get exactly what you want walking in the door. I will keep saying it, notice that Trump does not attack at random, he attacks upon attack. He loves the USA, Biden and Kamala stick their tongues out at the USA. Their base outright hates what the USA is about and our history.
The President is a fink.

That’s a reasonable take. But why can’t we have both?

Dont need both
Presidencies are generally governed by committee
Cabinet does all the heavy lifting
Job is really too big for one person, therefore the huge hiring binge with a new President
I expect AOC to get a promotion

I see great things in store for our country
Go USA


With our two choices I see nothing but disappointment.

I would sooner have my car fixed properly by an asshole than be stranded on the road by a 'really nice guy'. The fiscal irresponsibility of the democrats will be around a lot longer and cause more damage than the pandemic.

Really
I was quite happy during the Obama years
Some of the best years in my life

The only really huge disappointment to me is the anti maskers gathering in crowds spreading the virus

That has affected my life big time and it really should not have. Taiwan 7 deaths with a huge crowded city Taipei

Biden winning the popular vote, or the
EC. He'll probably win the popular, but
lose the EC. Which are you betting on,
it doesn't say. Trump is campaigning
to win the EC, it's all that matters.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Simple, you vote for Trump.

When you get your car worked on do you care if the mechanic is a guy you want to be friends with or do you want him to be factory certified?

Do you go to Buffalo Brew Pub because you like the food and service or you like the owner?

Trump has gotten results in the Middle East that nobody thought possible so his "personal level" must be doing a few things right.


Yeah, I don't even trust that as I don't know what was promised by Trump behind the scenes. The guy has proven capable of saying anything necessary, facts be damned.

Would not surprise me if he actually asked for them to make things look good until at least after the election.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Why would they agree to "make things look good?" They HATED Israel. I do not think you realize how big this is. Trump made it happen. He should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize twice over.

What Trump did was say "the hell with the Palestinians" and got UAE, et al to say the same. Now they are out in the cold and will sooner or later come begging for a deal.
