    Hahaha. This literally made me laugh. Man I try like hell to see all sides. I try like hell to genuinely like and care for my sisters and brothers. We are all very different, but just as important as the next. I just continue scratching my head around when I read your mess.

    I can’t for the life of me figure out how you can be so blind and obtuse.

    obligatory dumbass “premium post”

    I always thought Romney was a good guy but my main criticism was that he didn't have much of a spine. He governed MA almost left of center and then in 2012 he was running as "severely Conservative". Seeing him now as the last Republican in office to really stand up Trump is not something I would've expected of him years ago.

    If the Republican majority wasn't at risk in the Senate I get the feeling he would've been forced out of the party.

    The Democrats have literally spent the last 4 years investigating Trump to damage him politically. Liberals have absolutely zero self-awareness!

    White House staffer tests positive for COVID-19 less than 24 hours after Trump’s Philadelphia visit

    President Donald Trump was in Philadelphia on Tuesday, September 15 for an ABC News townhall event that was moderated by George Stephanopoulos—and less than 24 hours after that event, CBS News reported that a White House staffer had tested positive for COVID-19. However, the CBS affiliate in Philadelphia, CBS Channel 3, said that the person was “not associated with” Trump’s visit to Pennsylvania’s largest city, where the townhall was held at the National Constitution Center.

    That was my problem with him. I know the process is, Be extreme to get the nomination, then tack to the center; but he kept going to and past the center, even putting tulips in Obama's war-machine rifle in the last debate.

    But President Romney, now? Where do I sign? Not because I love him, but because despite his politician's faults, he does one major thing that the White House's current occupant does not: value human life.

    "The most recent polling in Minnesota has not been good for President Trump, as Joe Biden has increased his lead by +3 over the last two weeks. Couple this with the news out of Arizona and the path to victory for the incumbent continues to narrow."

    If this is what the Trump campaign decides to go with, it isn't going to move the needle at all.

    This is nothing more than confirmation bias and red meat for people that already were going to vote for Trump...... the rest of the people aren't really going to care.

    One side accidentally makes a mistake by listing the VP candidate first...

    The other side is in the process of letting hundreds of thousands die, taking away civil liberties, and generally destroying any and all democratic norms.

    Hmmmmm......tough choice

    "YEAH BUT, BUT DID YOU SEE OLD MAN BIDEN LISTED HARRIS FIRST? THIS IS THAT BLACK LIVES MATTER SOCIALISTS TAKING CONTROL. THAT SASSY BLACK WOMAN IS REALLY RUNNING THE COUNTRY!!! DO YOU WANT THAT? NO ONE WANTS THAT! BLACK WOMEN CAN'T EVEN RUN THEIR OWN HOMES WITHOUT A MAN!"

    Some version of the above...... I am sure I will hear it, at some point....... I will internally crumple into a ball for a few seconds, then smile and calmly tell someone that otherwise seems like a decent person just how incredibly stupid and racist their point is.

    Joe Biden has clearly, obviously, and indisputably lost a significant degree of his mental faculties. I remember he smoked Paul Ryan in the VP debates in 2012 - he was animated, sharp, quick on his feet. Now, he can hardly put a coherent sentence together. This is not the man I want in charge of the USA, and I'm not interested in a figurehead President that does the bidding of his Democratic underlings. You are either a leader or you aren't. Unfortunately, Biden does not have the physical or mental ability to lead, he can only be lead by others at this point. No good.

    He held his own against some of the most skilled debaters in all of politics with Elizabeth Warren & Bernie Sanders (love or hate them... they can debate). Has Biden lost a step... sure.... so have I going into my mid life. I can't dunk a volleyball anymore and when I went surfing a couple months back it was ugly.

    You guys are setting the bar sooooo low though that if Biden speaks a complete sentence without falling over, it'll feel like he massively overachieved. I'm not in the habit of giving Trumpers advice but if I was I would certainly not be setting the bar so low for Biden in the debates given how important they are for Trump.

    But go ahead... create the narrative he's the crypt keeper. I'm sure it'll work out well for you if he shows up for the debates in any way.
