I get the concern. I'm definetely not convinced Biden is going to win, but I'm also not doom and gloom Trump is going to win. I'm optimistic; however, those that say he has not gained voters need to consider the amount of Trump supporting parents' whose kids have turned 18 in the last 4 years. Sorry, but the voters who support Biden are generally not having as many kids as Trump humpers. I've seen this phenomena among my relatives and my wife's. Minnesota will be close and it all comes down to if there are more Biden votes in the metro compared to the overwhelming dominance he'll get in the rural areas. It seems ridiculous, but people are really into voting against their interests.

I mean, every one of those Trump election mottos I mentioned above is completely bullshit. He has, and will continue to do exactly the opposite of each one, but his supporters are ignorant and don't care.

Sadly, this is true. Better.well educated people are more apt to vote for Biden than they are for Trump. And better/well educated people are less apt to reproduce. I too have seen much evidence for a long time. It started with my generation. I have predicted the demise of this country for decades for that very reason. It's a race to the bottom.

Setting aside the labels the media assign people and using a really concise, accurate and funny description what will you vote for in November?

She forgot Trumpism: You've got two cows and discover they have Mad Cow Disease. Trump tells you, "Don't worry, they'll get over it soon and everything will be fine."

Might I make a slight adjustment?

There is an author (whom I will not name) who I used to quote here from time to time and who's work I once admired. He is also a writer I have communicated with a number of times- lately to much, much frustration. Somehow, beyond my comprehension, that author has become a Trump supporter. Today I listed all of the books that are of any value of his (about $100 worth, and am getting rid of the rest) through my on-line sales site. If and when they sell, I will donate a major portion of those sales to the Biden campaign.

I hope some Trump fan buys them so I can take some of their money and give it to Biden!

I think we should be able to collectively pull together $100 for you to make up for the cost of those books. And in turn, you could just burn them. Though the idea of using a trumpers money for the Biden campaign does sound better.

What are the authors reasons for supporting Trump?

Trump's still in trouble in first post-convention polling

The new ABC News/Ipsos poll is especially harsh for Trump. Although it did not poll the horse race, it did poll the candidates' favorability ratings.

Trump's favorable rating stood at 32% in an Ipsos' poll last week. Today, after the Republican National Convention, it stands at 31%.

Biden's favorable rating, meanwhile, was at 45% last week. It's now at 46%.

Thanks for the offer, lol. Thanks to Ray Bradbury, I never have nor ever will burn a book. But if they sell, I'll be happy!

He's become big into "Deep State" conspiracy theory and holds that on that account, the Democratic Party is worse than Trump and his gang. We wrote back and forth a few times and I could see it was going nowhere. In his last message he asked basically, "Besides Trumps disagreeable personality, what has the Right done to you personally," and then he goes on to list things the Left has done and finished by stating that he will do everything he can to see that they (the Left) don't get a chance to govern.

That was the end of it for me. I'm bummed but all I can do is counter by selling the books and sending money to the Biden campaign.

The whole thing has been a real downer. I've never turned away from a creative person that I admired, let alone this drastically. Maybe it's some strange unknown virus going around. I really don't get it.

Encouraging!

Lately, like most of you, I've been hearing all this doom and gloom about how Trump is catching up. I understand the concern, and it should be impetus for as many as possible to get out and vote and we should be willing to face the concerns, but I think it's also important to stay positive in our focus. Fear, hopelessness, and being discouraged do not make us strong. Courage, commitment, and hard work make us strong. We need to not wimp out!
