    people know who trump is and a significant majority are rejecting him. 

    any reasonable person does not want the shit stain on their conscience of having voted for him twice.
    Remember one of his key pitches in 16 was "What have you got to lose?"  Now we know.. 100k lives and millions of jobs.  
    If Democrats try to lay the totality of the coronavirus pandemic at his feet, voters will see through that
    Trump will be playing hardball.  I'm not saying the Biden campaign does it, but a third party should absolutely hammer him on this.  

    I also think his blaming the Chinese should be an angle for the Dems.  Trump blames China, but he's the one that started a trade war he can't finish, and he failed to protect us from a virus originating there.  Why should he be given another chance to fail us?  Sure maybe some hard left Blues are uncomfortable with that, but they are not staying home.  
    Man, I don't see any of that. I think it will be even clearer as the months go on that this has been a systemic failure.  Every day we're peeling back the onion on how New York fucked up. Trump has done a poor job, but I don't know what that incremental toll really is. There is no way it wasn't going to hit us hard.
    Do you think those details would stop Trump from using it in a campaign?  It's a fact that Trump had this issue in his security briefings as early as January, and he downplayed it the entire time, until late March.  Perhaps NY doesn't get a chance to F up if the CEO of the country isn't avoiding the issue.  
    If Clinton had won the election, where are you estimating we'd be as a country on cases/deaths today? Currently we are at 1.5 million/93k.

    I was actually considering starting a thread on that.  One clear difference would be fewer conspiracy theories. A third of the population believes this entire thing is a conspiracy against Trump.  I still think just as many people would be upset about stay-at-home orders, maybe even more with a Democrat in the White House, but I think you'd have fewer people just flaunting their non-compliance at grocery stores, etc. These things might be a wash.

    I think the two biggest differences would be 1) An earlier response and a president concerned with more than how it impacts the re-election and 2) fewer people existing in the image of an ignorant, angry, moron doing things like refusing to wear masks, etc.  What's it mean in numbers?  Hard to say.  Maybe knocks 'em down by 20%?  A third?

    Maybe just start an "alternate past" thread where we can go back and forth about things that will never have a proven answer. I'll start with this as an example. Who won the Alternate Past World Series in 1994? My money is on the Expos because Moises Alou would have worn batting gloves in his alternate past.

    I have a fake Washington Post saying the Nats won.   

    I also have the 89 St Pete Giants losing to the A's. I was bitterly disappointed.

    I'm sure black voters will love that one. 
    What a joke. Lol.

    This is really awful.  I listened to the audio and he isn’t saying it lightly. I guess we will just have to chalk it up as one of his trademark gaffes and look past it 🙄.  So now the media isn’t allowed to ask substantive policy questions to the candidate on the plans affecting specific communities. Really bad form and one of the reasons that I don’t think Biden has victory secured as much as many believe.

    Let's face it, this election comes down to choosing between someone we know is consistently a terrible president and will never ever be even an average president, or someone who will at worst be an average president, but probably not great. For me it's more about getting positions filled with people who actually know what the fuck they're doing and not just there because they know how to kiss ass. That, and the end of the blame game and tweeting nonsense.

    Yeah it's hard to believe anybody so experienced in politics would say that. And like you said, he didn't say it lightly. I don't know much about Charlemagne The God, but I imagine he has a pretty popular show and Joe went on it specifically to appeal to black voters. Well hearing some old white man tell you "You ain't black" for ANYTHING wouldn't be appealing. Let alone "you ain't black" if you vote against him.

    I think what we learned in the primaries is that  millennial white liberals are FAR more sensitive than average people and minorities.  His resiliency shows that.  And look at Northams approval rate with minorities in Virginia for further proof.  Im sure black people all appreciate your concern though.

    You got us all wrong. Not concerned for black people. Concerned for Biden botching simple interviews when he's polling just fine when not saying anything at all.

    Amazing. I was just grabbing the shortest version of the video I could find. Didn't look at the user. But since you did, who cares if he's Asian? Jesus...

    As evidenced by the usual suspects expressing their "outrage" in this thread.

    Sorry, folks. This isn't going to bring Joe Biden down either.

    I'm not sure I understand why VPJoe can't allude to soul-eater being racist. It would follow, in logical thinking I believe, that black people would likely not vote for a racist, wouldn't it? Anyway, if I was black, I couldn't vote for a racist. Some day, way in the future, if there's any left on the planet, people will all be one color. I'd like to think that would solve the bigotry problem. :tongue: Be safe all. :hug:

    Well there ya have it; his number aren't going down with minorities for this. 

    And really, they shouldn't. Black people need to know that..

    1) The democratic party looks out of them, and republicans are racist.
    2) Trump is the biggest racist of them all.
    3) Trump's so racist, that if you vote for him, you ain't black.

    They know this right?

    This reminds me of Kramer training Jerry's girlfriend for Miss America.

    Kramer: Oh you can try to stop her, but she's going to the top!
    Jerry: I don't want to stop her.
    Kramer: You CAN'T stop her, Jerry!!

    Who here wants to see Joe go down? There's like 5 votes for Trump and over 60 for Biden on this poll.
