    So it looks like Michigan and Wisconsin is pretty certain for Biden now. So that means Trump has to do a near sweep of the remaining states. I think he can only afford to lose one of the remaining 5 states in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia and NC.

    because the image of black men by leftists is often tied to lgbt( look at all the black transgenders and gay black dudes on tv getting heavy airtime. They want black to be queer, bisexual basically corey booker or andrew gillum black men who white liberals are NOT threatened by. Under obama more gay bm were hired and approved for jobs than hetero black men

    Wtf. It's becoming easier to call you out on being insincere and a troll. Are you some liberal who is mocking right wing rhetoric?

    If the Republicans didn't have the coal industry and the Democrats didn't have to be on the side of global warming, then the Republicans would lose handily.
    Global warming is the sword that Democrats fall on every year because they have to because it's right.
    The Republicans on the other hand just don't care about anything but winning a political race and they know that The majority of Americans don't want to move from fossil fuels and giving up their way of life that they've known for their entire lifetime.
    Global warming is what feeds the Republicans in large part in my opinion.
    Even more than abortion, the issue of global warming is unpopular.
    It's the: let's just keep things the way they are and keep the economy strong.

    In what insanely deluded bubble do you live?
    Your statements are absolutely out of touch with political reality and society, it's absurd.

    You sound completely brainwashed and should really reconsider your circle of peers.

    I think this is one of the biggest advantages with GOP rhetoric. They know Americans are short sighted thus they don't have to pretend to worry about the long term future health of the nation. They just can pander gdp growth rates and pretend the world is hunky dory.

    I agree with that, but I don't think Tom Cotton can beat Trump in a Republican primary. I think Trump will still hold the base AS LONG AS Fox, and the right wing media infrastructure allows him to stay front and center.

    I walk away from this election seeing that Trump is seen as a true messiah figure with his base. That's not something that goes away with a narrow defeat... especially with the groundwork already laid out to try and invalidate Biden's victory.

    No that doesn't make sense. That is making me do math and I hate math. It frightens me almost akin to witchcraft.

    I don’t think Trump will be around next election and I doubt he wants to do it all over again...especially if he gets that media empire up and running...or goes to jail...or , my pick, leaves the country to avoid jail. No one else in that family has the charisma and energy he has (no matter what Jr thinks) and I think Cotton is a prototypical Republican candidate who can bring in the Trump vote.

    i understand your point about the platinum plan( which i found the timing of odd as well). But my thing is why didnt obama pass any legislation for black people, especially black men. When he passed laws for undocumented immigrants, asians, and lgbt. Why did it take a "so called racist" in donald trump to pass criminal justice reform. The first step act has already benefitted one member of my family on my moms side who has been in prison since 97 and has been communted. I dont care about money or some platinum plan. My thing is if you put the policies in place and lay the groundwork, black men will be making money in less than a generation. I want to see generational wealth passed down( and no not reperations because ive come to the conclusion that will never happen). But we had our best economy in like forever. Jobs were coming back, black crime was down. Why throw all that away becaue you hate trump as a person

    Did you tell them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps?

    I sure hope you are right. It's Trump so we really can't rule anything out, but yeah best thing for the country would be if he leaves overseas. I just want him out of our lives.

    the first president i voted for in 2008 was obama, and then again in 2012. I was sick to my stomach that he did not pass any form of legislation for the group of people who got him elected. It turned me off to the democrats all together, because i had realized with democrats in power every other group will be priortized over us. It wasnt until trump became president that black men finally started getting ****
