Yes, that is the beauty of 2020 – Biden’s margin over Trump (in Electoral College terms) was the same as Trump’s margin over Hillary in 2016, and we have Trump’s own confirmation that such a margin was “huge”.
I doubt you are going to see those sorts of margins again. I mean, everyone loved Reagan, and as to Nixon….um….can someone a bit older than me remind me why everyone voted for him?
It wasn’t the attractiveness of Tricky d**k but his credibility compared to the incoherence of a party that replaced the Vietnam warring Johnson with the principled pacifist Mondale. Plus blowback against the war and against Johnson’s reforms among white supremacists.
And Nixon looked to have more stature as a President than as a scheming politician until old habits caught up with him. He did the opening to Red China, after all. Opening the way to globalisation, shareholder value and the de-industrialisation of America.
How do they do that? I hope your standard of political normal is not flattering to deceive as Donald has done ever since fleecing golfers when he was at business school.
However, too many of those Trump flattered have wised up now and the enthusiasm of those who prefer delusion won’t win them back. Whatever the Dems do or don’t.
Agree, but for whatever reason (and despite his faults), Trump draws people like moths to a flame. I can’t think of anyone else in US politics (certainly not DeSantis) who does that.
He is a demagogue just like Boris Johnson, a double glazing/car salesman, him and Biden are poor leaders, he does appear at the moment to stand up for the working classes, I wonder how long for though…
He may be a “demgogue” and a “double glazing / car salesman to you, but in the immortal words of Pres. Obama:
AT LEAST HE WAS A PRESIDENT.
Whereas you are consigned to blabber ABOUT HIM, online from your mom’s basement.
The MAGA movement is way bigger than the man himself. Not only self made, but made by the likes of Hiliary( deplorables) and Obama ( clingers). The “ transformation” lurching so far left, Clinton ( Bill) couldn’t even get nominated today. Don’t you worry , after Trumps next term, another will take the reins for a better America.
MAGA is a symptom of real wounds on the American body, economic and politic. But the possibility of it becoming a movement which could achieve redress, let alone rebuild, lies under the spell Donald cast and will likely remain so after he’s gone.
And that’s because those vie to control the Republican Party are no more interested than their Democrat opposites in the well being of the majority.
Nice to see you back. Surely ‘Trump kissing up to Putin is good? Putin is far more talented than Trump and Biden and certainly less enthralled to ‘the elites and Corporate bullies.’ Maybe he will learn something. Maybe he will discourage the CIA from meddling and sh*t stirring in foreign countries? Maybe he will repair Nordstream 2 which Biden and CIA blew up? Maybe he will remove USA from Nato and we ‘Europeans’ can manage our own foreign policies’ We would be better with Russia in Nato than USA, cheap oil too, we could keep USA and China in balance too.
Provide any real evidence of Trump appeasing Putin. There ain’t none.
The Ukrainians most likely blew up Nord Stream 2. Biden is the biggest appeaser since Neville Chamberlain. Perhaps Trump’s negotiating position will get Europeans to spend 2% of GNP on defense (Sacre bleu!). Russia in NATO? Sounds like you’re kissing up to Putin.
Trump will drill for oil and natural gas, and allow unlimited LNG exports. Maybe you could start frackin in the UK, and produce your own natural gas.
To really embarrass yourself, you should comment on how deserving Hamas is of a cease fire.
But in the immortal words of Pres. Obama: At least Trump was a President and Desantis a Governor.
While you are consigned to blabber ABOUT them ONLINE from your mom’s basement.
Listening to you explain why you disdain DeSantis explains Trump’s success. Your critique of DeSantis is repetitive, robotic and clearly not your own opinion. I was only surprised you left out “pudding fingers.”
Think about what Trump is. He is crude, petty, resentful, salacious and often a cruel and mean-spirited bully. Which is exactly what you are showing yourself to be. But at least…he is authentic and that’s why these people respect him. He is what he is.
The only reason you dislike Trump is because he ran as a Republican. The sooner you recognize your own inauthenticity, the more the world will make sense to you.
Trumps awfulness as a person contrast with the fakeness of his enemies, which exposes they falseness. Trump is a bully, but so is Biden, it just that Biden dose it in private and is often passive aggressive about it, Trump just dose not bother to hide it. The power players in DC often act like trump when they are alone and with their underlings and when the camera stops rolling. Both men represent the rottenness of the ruling class, Trump represents their grandiosity and selfishness, Biden represents their superficiality and fecklessness. The way they treat people just shows’ how moral desolate those who rule over us really are.
What we’re dealing with is
Democrats are enemies of the Constitution and the rule of law. Republicans in the House impeached Mayorkas for not taking care that immigration law be faithfully enforced. Democrats refused to even have a trial in the Senate, proving they have no regard for the Constitution or the law.
It’s strange, before Trump ran for President he was idolized in New York City and beyond. Everybody loved Don especially the Dems, then he became a Republican and ousted Hilary.
Biden is the action, Trump the reaction. When the left goes too far, we cling with desperation to a person who, in normal times, we would have little to do with. What we are seeing approach from the left is what in time we always see approaching from the left, and it is not democracy.
It may surprise you to know that for much of my life, I was a straight-up Thatcherite-Reaganite. If I were American (I am not) I would have voted Republican from 1980 (the year I turned 18) to almost the present day. I would almost certainly have voted for Trump in 2016, because I didn’t like Hillary. However, I have now seen what Trump is all about. As to my not liking DeSantis, one only has to listen to him talk to form a strong dislike of him. He is a “small man” in every sense of the term.
Interesting. So your position is that DeSantis is “weak.” Tell that to Disney who just settled.. or maybe tell the donor class that was spending more in negative attack ads on DeSantis than Trump and Biden combined.
He was a D1 athlete. He also went through military training. The idea that he’s “weak” is irrational. Your beef with him is something deeper than that.
He wears lifts in his boots. There is nothing that screams “I am insecure and pathetic” more than that. Even leaving that aside, his personality makes him absolutely impossible to like. I was ambivalent towards him before he sought the nomination. I dislike him more than I dislike Trump now, because at least Trump is a character. As to the “donor class” spending on ads attacking DeSantis, I can see why they would do that. I am not even American, but even I bought a Nikki Haley t-shirt on the basis of her attacking DeSantis.
What kind of a dork thinks of Donald Trump as a martyr?
I’m not surprised that you mugs would fall for a tin pot dictator. But even I am surprised that you pick a clown like Trump to be your king! How embarrassing!
Certainly true that Trump won’t get anyone what they wish for, he’s had enough trouble working out how to please himself. But the most worrying thing here is the lack of any sign his supporters could hold him to account. Those who’ve wised up have flaked off and those that remain attached are too wound up to look after their own interests.
It’s not just the working class who yearn for a Trump Administration. Many more if us are tired of an ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ that ironically printed more money that exacerbated inflation. We’re tired of the constant drumbeat of ‘you’re a racist’ because you won’t sign onto the inane policies of progressivism. We’re tired tired of vote-buying by forgiving student loans and draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. We’re tired of millions of illegal immigrants who are putting pressure on the housing supply, driving up costs all over. We’re tired of the growth of government and taxation. We’re being squeezed from all sides. We’re tired of being ruled by entitled Democrats who think they know how we should live rather than just leaving us alone.
Agreed we are all feeding the corporations greed and our politicians are the enablers, and we are voting for them! You can’t make it up. STOP buying from Amazon, Stop giving your data to Zuckerburg it’s easy if you try, Facebook is retarded anyway, why do social media then complain that the corporations are bringing in cheap labour to buy their products?
The Mayorkas Impeachment is an example of both anti-Constitutional acts and acts against the rule of law. Democrats are domestic enemies of the Constitution and the rule of law. As Democrats ignore more of both the Constitution and the law, they lose more support.
Here’s a clarifying question and a follow up:
How much of the Bill of Rights actually applies to Trump?
If almost none of the Bill of Rights applies to Trump, how can you be sure it applies to you, or anybody else?

Despite your efforts, still have no idea just what these people think they are against, let alone for. Maybe that’s the point? Vague if intensely felt discontent the perfect harvest for a demagogue.
Maybe they are against four more years of open borders, inflation, rampant crime, expanding bureaucracy and dictates, and the use of govt agencies against people who do not obediently support the regime. Just a guess, but that could have something to do with it.
You go and tell them, they don’t seem to have a clue. But leave out the stuff that isn’t actually happening as that will put them off.. Like all that stuff in your list. None of which is real.
What is real is 50 years of néolibéral shareholder value levelling down real wages and wasting America’s once impressive productive capacities. That’s what MAGA was about. Trump promised to do something about it, but that didn’t amount to a hill of beans partly because he’s so chaotic but mainly because it can’t really be done. The best effort so far has been Biden’s IRA and war policies, but those have messy side effects

The faithful have reason to believe, as the subtitle says, that Trump won’t be allowed to win. Witness the unprecedented efforts to first, keep him off the ballot in some states and now, the perpetual lawfare in which specious cases are used as the pretext for derailing him. The fear that this man inspires in establishment Washington should be enough to arouse the curiosity of all Americans, blue ones included, but it doesn’t.
The only thing that has yet to be tried, as best we know, is violence and who would be surprised if it comes to that? The people interviewed are accurate about how a potential second Trump term would go – much like the first, where the Democrat/media/DC complex opposes him on everything and a fair number of GOPers join in. What drives them is the alternative – it’s not hard to understand why some might not like Trump, but it is impossible to understand why any normal citizen would want four more years of Biden.

The fundemental question is who would make a better president in 2024 -2028. For once we have all the answers because both men will have been president for 4 years. Who do you think did the better job and made the US stronger, safer and more economically sound with low inflation, low unemployment even for the minorities?
This is not a question of personality, charm, likes and dislikes or charisma, this is a question of who did the better job as President of the USA.

There’s a limit to how many fraudulent votes Democrats can cast. In the 1982 election for Governor of Illinois, the Chicago Democrats’ Machine cast 100,000 fraudulent votes. Republican Jim Thompson won anyway, by just under 9,000 votes. It’s possible to beat the margin of fraud.
By the way, the Reagan Justice Department got 63 convictions for vote fraud after the 1982 Illinois election. That deterred vote fraud for a decade or two.

Do you suppose John, he of the “Pretty Tired of Stupid Democrats” shirt, understood irony enough to be embarrassed by Trump’s Gettysburg comments? (Gettysburg. Wow.)
We Americans are in a sorry state, facing a presidential election with two geriatric candidates, neither of whom most voters want in the White House. (Though, can Trump rule from prison? Another of those thorny Constitutional questions he raises. Thank God that in these United States you can be elected president even if you’re a convicted felon, though you’re ineligible to vote.)
Trump is a narcissist and autocrat of questionable intelligence; his thoughts seem separated by vast spaces during which he stupidly keeps speaking. But certain of his policies appeal to the dispossessed, including — I’ll admit — this former Democrat. Biden, whose cognitive powers are obviously in decline, seems run by woke handlers, who do not speak for the party’s historical base. I will not vote for a man bent on erasing the historical rights of girls and women — including those encoded in Title IX — in obeisance to male trans activists.
I’m for Kennedy — alternately smeared and ignored by mainstream media — who with the two-party lock on our system will never prevail. Definitely an uphill battle, and as Gen. Robert E. Lee — or perhaps it was Knute Rockne, or maybe Jack Sparrow — famously said, “Never fight uphill, me boys. Never fight uphill.”
Trump goes down in another landslide, if he isn’t in jail by that time.
“Megan” sounds like the core Trump demographic – stupid people.
America is the Trump demographic.
I guess you missed the part where he lost to Joe Biden in an historic landslide?
Can’t wait to see his reply to this!
Yes, that is the beauty of 2020 – Biden’s margin over Trump (in Electoral College terms) was the same as Trump’s margin over Hillary in 2016, and we have Trump’s own confirmation that such a margin was “huge”.
An historic landslide was Nixon over McGovern or Reagan over Mondale. But do go on.
I doubt you are going to see those sorts of margins again. I mean, everyone loved Reagan, and as to Nixon….um….can someone a bit older than me remind me why everyone voted for him?
It wasn’t the attractiveness of Tricky d**k but his credibility compared to the incoherence of a party that replaced the Vietnam warring Johnson with the principled pacifist Mondale. Plus blowback against the war and against Johnson’s reforms among white supremacists.

Well, I agree about the “China” thing. I recall the old Vulcan saying – “Only Nixon could go to China”.
On problem for joe this time around, the polls will be watched much more closely.
If Democrats want to win they have to stop denigrating their electorate.

Are you referring to The Coddling of the American Mind?
Either way Trumpism wins. Trump becomes president, or he becomes a galvanizing martyr for the working classes.
Sure, but who do they rally around after he’s gone? There is nobody else like Trump, just pale wannabes like DeSantis.
DeSantis is literally nothing like Trump. Do you think at all before you type? You’re putting on a “misinformation” clinic the past day or two.
Both small time bullies who run a mile when they realize they are going to get a beat down. DeSantis with Disney. Trump kissing up to Putin.
Agree, but for whatever reason (and despite his faults), Trump draws people like moths to a flame. I can’t think of anyone else in US politics (certainly not DeSantis) who does that.

It’s strange, before Trump ran for President he was idolized in New York City and beyond. Everybody loved Don especially the Dems, then he became a Republican and ousted Hilary.
That’s politics everywhere, not just in the US. Where Trump differs from most leaders of democratic countries is his actions on January 6.
What did he do?
He sent his goons to invade Congress.
Biden is the action, Trump the reaction. When the left goes too far, we cling with desperation to a person who, in normal times, we would have little to do with. What we are seeing approach from the left is what in time we always see approaching from the left, and it is not democracy.
This is a very able and apt description. Anyone who is reasonable and honest would have great difficulty disagreeing.
