The sneaky secret -- much like Dorothy's shoes -- is that you already HAVE used my platform to get your ideas out (ad nauseam). It's been with you all along. And you don't seem to have convinced a single person here.

Yes, sir... very well said. I thought you gave him a "bigly" hint when you informed him your blog is "dedicated to 'reality-based politics,' not Utopia or some fantasyland where unicorns fart rainbows and the pixies frolic in the meadow."

Huge honking clue right there. ;)

Yes, yes, yes. This! All of it. :)

The big problem with your idea is that it would require a massive popular movement behind it, almost by definition (if you need lotsa donors to run a campaign, then there better be lotsa people making their one demand, no?).

So... let's check in and see how the movement is going. How long have you been advocating it?

How many people have you convinced? Would you call it a "massive popular movement"?

Without that widespread and vocal support, it just wouldn't work. Which is why I consider the entire thing pretty impractical, while people like Bernie have changed the fundraising paradigm already.

You didn't come up with the idea, neither did Bernie. The first I remember to attempt it was Jerry Brown, with his 1-800 number (this was before the internet was much of anything). He swore he'd only take up to $100 from any donor -- twice as pure as you!

But you'll notice he didn't win and he didn't get the nomination. Others who also tried this also were disappointed, because there just wasn't enough of a movement.

Bernie came closer than anyone else, and he proved the basic soundness of the idea. He achieved fundraising parity with Hillary Clinton, the biggest party machine politician around (at the time). That was stunning. And it's still reverberating.

So if anything even close to one demand ever happens, the way I see it is that it's going to have a politician leading the movement. Maybe the next Bernie will actually win the primaries, and then will run a small-dollar donation in the general election.

But without such a leader, any effort to create a grassroots movement to drastically change campaign funding seems extraordinarily likely to fail. That's how I see it.

Again, how long have you been doing this, and how many people have you convinced?

The sneaky secret -- much like Dorothy's shoes -- is that you already HAVE used my platform to get your ideas out (ad nauseam). It's been with you all along. And you don't seem to have convinced a single person here.

In that article from June 2019, Biden tells his donors that he won’t demonize the rich and that no one’s standard of living would be changed if he is elected. That is your evidence??? Unlike you, Biden realizes that demonizing people simply because they are wealthy does nothing but create division. Biden also made it clear that those wealthy donors knew that them paying more in taxes would not change their quality of life. Being worth $50 million is not a drastic lifestyle changer if you had been worth $60 million previously.

Again, your evidence failed to demonstrate what you claimed it did.

Why WOULD people keep voting for politicians that do not keep their promises? Maybe they are just not aware there are other approaches because they keep getting fed the lie that there is no other choices.

I do not think that they WOULD vote for a politician that they did not believe that they could trust to work for them. This is part of the problem with your argument...you keep claiming that the public is voting for candidates that they do not want to vote for. Many Trump voters say they voted for him because they could not stand voting for Clinton — but they could have just not voted if they did not want to vote for either candidate.

Using One Demand your grandmother could have supported more than just Obama with her 500 dollars making it possible for more small donor only candidates to win and making it possible for more things to benefit ordinary citizens to get done as it takes more than one person to do anything in our government.

Prove it. My grandmother lived outside of Mobile, Alabama in 2008. First off, she’d tell you to go suck her tailpipe for thinking she was corrupting the system for wanting to give $500 of her money to the candidate of her choice. Then she’d laugh in your face when you could not provide the name of a single small donation candidate who wasn’t also running under the White Nationalist platform. See, she would not have given her money to a candidate backed by the KKK... even if he was the only candidate running a “small donation only campaign” in her area. But that WOULD be the only person who qualified under OneDemand’s criteria. And since it is “OneDemand” and not “A Few Demands”, what would justify you not recommending that she should help the Nazi’s campaign?

Again, this is the problem with your delusional claim that OneDamnMan offers people a choice they were not previously aware even existed. You do not offer ANYTHING!

As Biden could raise over 1 billion dollars in these contributions from just three in ten Deathocrats there is no reason he needs to take anything more.

And Biden could raise 2 billion dollars if he got 100 million people to give his campaign just $20. So it would appear that my idea is twice as good as your idea. (Especially if you think insulting the Party voters support will win people over to OneDemand!)

So until you have actual flesh and blood candidates running “small donation only” campaigns, you have NOTHING to offer voters!

Thanks! I didn't think I had just dreamed that stuff... as I recall, it went on for quite some time...

YES.

Second, taking that money IS THE PROBLEM. Foregoing that money in favor of small donor money is the solution.

Chris, I got your 6. ;)

"The Princess Bride"

There are no "facts" from the future, sorry. Your statement about who will win an election are speculation, not fact -- just like all my articles are (and are clearly identified as being).

Look the two words up, because I do not think that word means what you think it means (forgot what movie reference that is, sorry).

-CW

Faulty information? Hardly. I well remember you heaping scorn on Bernie for accepting anything over 200 bucks. You didn't give him an inch, because he simply was not pure enough. Or was that some other Don Harris who just resembles you on the internet?

-CW

Who do you think Biden's going to pick? Just curious.

I'd love for it to be Warren, but I think Biden will be too cautious for that -- not for her strength or views, but because for a limited amount of time the MA governor will be able to name her replacement. Then they'll have a special election, which will probably put the seat back in Dem hands, but what happens if it turns out to be the pivotal seat for Senate control? That's why I think Biden will play it cautious, personally.

But I could be wrong. I think Duckworth is being overlooked by many, at this point, but I really have no idea who he'll pick.

Do tell! Got a link? Or a quote?

I may have seen this before, I think I'm listed with a bunch of other HuffPost pundits. But I could be wrong, that memory is hazy at best.

You mean like ^^^^^ that?

Besdies, his last name is one of those words where all I would need do is accdientally transpose some letters and you got Bdien. It's built in there and quite beyond my control. ;)

No. Just no.

When Biden wins, it'll be ice cream pie for all!

And drinks, EM... you mustn't forget drinks. This reminds me of Super Tuesday when we drank every time Biden notched a state. Needless to say, we were hammered. :)

Perish that last thought!

Oh, I do... and if I did not think Biden was the correct candidate to run against Donald Trump and run these United States, I would have voted for someone else in the primaries, and I wouldn't have worked so hard to deliver Texas for Biden on Super Tuesday... but he is human, so we'll need the proper running mate should anything happen to him.

He'll be fine, EM! :)

I was referring to wRong Paul, not Rant.

Oh, I see that now! I get those two idiots mixed up... Rant is such a chip off the old Eastern Bloc. :)

Now that's exactly what I'm talking about! Easy as pie. :)

Yeah. If you like conclusions based on inaccurate information and faulty interpretations. see comment 121

I respond to comments as I read them... oftentimes only to discover that someone else has responded in a similar manner as myself. I would be shocked -- once more for effect: shocked, I tell you -- if anyone else has not failed to notice that you appear to be saying your comment at 121 contains "conclusions based on inaccurate information and faulty interpretations."

Good form, sir. I quite agree with you on that, and I make this observation without even reading the content of your comment at 121.

Thus, I continue... moving on down the page. :)

I call the facts as I see them..

Yes... "as you see them"... and I would wager everyone on the forum is fully aware of the frequent propensity of yours to spin words that are posted on this forum into your own misinterpreted opinion or outright lies... which you then incorrectly refer to as "facts"... nothing new. For example:

As long as it's done FAIRLY and not based on Party/Ideological membership, I welcome this.. It's what I have wanted to see here every since Vick and the rest have shown up here soley because of a 'name-calling contest' :^/

~ Michale

As I posted above, and I'll say again: That is incorrect. I have no idea to whom you are referring are "the rest" who "have shown up soley [sic] because of a 'name-calling contest'."

Speaking for myself, this is incorrect. As I explained, I rarely do anything for a sole reason. Full stop. And I won't attempt to discern whom else you're accusing of this, but my first post here was to suggest the name "Benedict Donald":

My first post on these boards was to suggest the name "Benedict Donald" for Trump because that's how I've always seen Trump... always... as an opportunist like "Been a Dick"... a turncoat who'd sell out his country for his own interests. That was a year ago, and just look how history is playing out now.

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2016/05/13/ftp391/#comment-75291

And JL ^^^^^ CLICK, CLICK ^^^^^ not kidding here, you simply must check out the post underneath my post... my first day here... and discover who actually posted regarding Trump and a "fascist dictator."

Read that and weep... from laughter... all part of a conspiracy, no doubt. ;)

If only people would pay attention to details... really see things as they are... pay attention to what's staring them right in their faces... they'd see what's actually there versus what they want to see. Because those who either can't or won't pay attention to history are doomed to be conned and appear uneducated... oh, I meant to say... doomed to repeat it. :)

[Thursday, May 4th, 2017 at 06:46 UTC]

I wanted the name "Benedict Donald" out there on the Internet because it wasn't at the time, and I hoped it would catch on. I also suggested it with multiple veterans organizations, and I have recently seen it repeated and used in political ads. So then, mission accomplished.

Facts are facts.. Even inconvenient ones.. :D

And lies are lies... no matter how many times they are posted in repetitive fashion.

Ahhhh - The sweet sound of an editorial board knocking knuckle heads.

Well, that particular letter carrier blows hot and cold, for sure

I was referring to wRong Paul, not Rant.

That’s how much more money the United States spends on its military than 144 other countries combined, according to the latest update to available data on military expenditures compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). That’s not to mention the number by which the United States also outspends the next 7 largest military budgets combined: $40.1 billion.

https://www.nationalpriorities.org/blog/2019/07/18/us-spends-more-its-military-176-countries-combined/

Yet more and more military families have to sign up for SNAP every year in order to feed their families! Our soldiers have to worry about feeding their families while praying they aren’t killed by a terrorist who gets paid big bucks as a reward from Russia! You never hear about this in those Army recruitment ads!

“Putin paid so you would have a widowed wife,
With what you were paid your fam already had a fKd up life
In the Arm-y!”

ON a personal note, I am glad to see my idea of no name-calling and no personal attacks has worked so well...

If only people had agreed to it when it was suggested instead of having it to be imposed.

Oh well. See ya'all in the AM... :D

We have decades of evidence he has kept those promises in the past or they would not continue to give him big money contributions.

What promises? You have yet to produce any evidence that all donations over whatever fricking arbitrary amount you declare is allowed come with promises attached to them! The biggest jokes are that you think our politicians are being bought anytime they receive a donation of $300 -$2800 and that someone who donates $25 could not have expectations attached to their donations!

He can do this because voters keep voting for him even though he does not keep the campaign promises that he makes to voters as he can't keep conflicting promises.

According to who? And what vague ”campaign promises” are you referring to? A presidential candidate can say he supports changing a law, but they are not able to introduce legislation to actually make it happen. They can say they want to bring about change, but no one person can bring about change on their own in our form of government.

Why would people continue to vote and to donate to a candidate that they were unhappy with? In one breath you claim that the only reason someone continues to support a candidate is because the candidate continues to keep their promises, but that is only for people who give more than your purity limit...for those who gave less, the candidate has screwed them over every time! Declaring in the next breath that all politicians have worked against us at every turn — but then why am I very happy with those representing me in Congress? Is it because you think everyone but you is too stupid to realize that they are being played?

Every politician who takes more than your purity limit is evil and not working for their constituents who do not donate to their campaigns. Granted, you have nothing but conjecture to back this idea up, but it sounds reasonable to anyone who doesn’t think about it too hard, so you run with it!

And every donor who gives more than you allow is always pushing for legislation that hurts the rest of us. I never realized my grandmother giving $500 to Obama was so he would do her bidding! It’s amazing how much of a difference a few dollars can make in how you view people’s motivation.

It would easier to get behind your group if it didn’t think $2800 donations were just as bad as the millions of dollars in dark money that corporations can pump into PACS.

This!

It’ll be like when he declared war on the Coronavirus — when Trump cannot magically make it all go away, he’ll surrender while claiming a total victory!

Wait, what! You mean you don't believe coronavirus is going to just disappear on its own without a vaccine?

I feel about vaccines like I feel about tests. This is going to go away without a vaccine.

This is incorrect and demonstrably false information. Polling criteria routinely changes as the makeup of the electorate changes... always has and always will. :)

Your post reminded me to check my voter status - just to be on the safe side. What with voter purges and all. All systems go.

Good form. Because I know that you know how important your vote is, particularly in your home state. It will very likely be you and yours and a key few other states who go a long way in determining who sits in the Oval in January 2021. Tell your friends. Get them all registered.

I'm leaning towards the early-voting-in-person-at-the-board--of-election. No lines, and I can hit my favorite coffee shop on the way home...which also serves craft beer.

I have respect for beer! That's a good plan. Make it a Party party.

Outdoors on the balcony. There is usually one rainless day during Early Voting.

I can picture it. Stay safe, though. :)

They did not prevent it from happening, so why would anyone think they could restore it? Trump has not come up with any ideas that don’t violate our Constitution because he thinks he’s an authoritarian, not our President. He used the military to police the southern border. He has used DHS personnel as his own personal Gestapo forces in Portland. This all happened under Trump’s watch... no one buys your attempts to place the blame on the Party not associated with the President!

It’ll be like when he declared war on the Coronavirus — when Trump cannot magically make it all go away, he’ll surrender while claiming a total victory!

Really, Michale? I understand your wanting to chicken out but can't you come up with better excuses? You know, at least try not to insult my intelligence?

Let's take this apart:

Michale wrote:

...That won't work.. Exit polling was notoriously ineffective and flat out wrong in 2016..

That's news to me. Please provide a link so I can confirm that for myself.

People are not going to voluntarily admit that they voted for President Trump when such an admission would get them beat up or even killed by the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party.

First off, has this ever happened? Please provide the link so I can verify.

Second, if it has indeed happened, does it happen as frequently as the "voter fraud" problem you Repugs are always crying about? You know, the maybe one fraudulent ballot for every 100,000 ballots cast problem?

Third, I thought you Repugs were "98% armed" etc etc. So why are all you tough guys afraid? Are you, Michale, personally afraid to admit that your a Trumpanzie?

Fourth, MAGA swag (and not wearing a mask) self identifies Trumpanzies. None of y'all seem all cowed with fear -- heck, y'all seem every bit as Loud & Proud as ever.

If I am still here on election day...then there will be data available on the racial makeup of the election eventually.

Where will that data come from if not from exit polls? Do you know of an alternative method to get that data? Please provide the link so I might educate myself.

That's a good point. But at this point, I think the people who are going to vote against Trump would vote for Biden even if he named a ficus tree as his veep (hat tip to Michael Moore, of course).

I like the ficus tree idea, but if Biden is naming a non-person as a running mate, I'm already on record for a ham sandwich... but on second thought would much prefer -- y'all know what's coming right?:

This is fact. The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party has made it clear that they have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM with the toddler torturing, cop killings, lootings and destruction that is being committed on a DAILY basis by so-called "peaceful" protesters...

Given this FACT, the American people who are sick and tired of all the violence committed under the auspices of the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party and will vote accordingly on 3 Nov 2020..

I'm surprised you haven't taken up the Dear Leader's paranoia by arguing "if Biden wins it means the whole thing was RIGGED!" by now.

You mean, like the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party rigged the 2016 AND 2020 Dem primary??

You mean like THAT "rigged"..???

Let's face the facts, my friend..

The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party is NO STRANGER to rigging elections to achieve their desired outcome...

This is well documented...

I am simply asking the same question you ask of me- how can CW keep (in your words) bleating out the SSDD when it should be obvious after all this time (DECADES) that this approach has got where we are now which is worse than not getting anywhere?

When I have commented nicer (not that my comment was an attack of any kind though you may choose to see it that way) it is ignored.

First, CW produces a blog that varies from day to day. Don Harris bleats out the #SSDD without variation, unless it's to call someone a name when you get frustrated that you've got ZERO traction here.

Second, it is pestering. When are you going to get a clue and abandon your utterly failed approach? How many more years, Dawg? Doing the same thing over and over will get you the same result, ZERO.

Third, OD is being ignored because it's of no interest. You simply haven't made the case for OD.

And just because you can't make the case for OD doesn't make it CW's duty to make the arguments for you. It's not his effing job, so give it up already!

Given what they've put the country through since November 2016, the groups that need to be asked if they will accept an election loss in November 2020 are the media, Democratic politicians, and other Resistance activists.
https://thefederalist.com/2020/07/28/it-is-resistance-not-trump-that-needs-to-learn-to-accept-election-results/

This is EXACTLY the facts of the here and now..

It's been the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party that has a HISTORY of not accepting the fact that Donald Trump kicked their asses...

That's why claims that President Trump won't accept the results of the election are LAUGHABLE and ridiculous..

Because it's been the Trump/America haters who refused to accept the results of the election..

This is evidenced by the FACT of the Russia Collusion delusion, which ya'all lost..

This is also evidenced by the FACT of the faux impeachment coup where Dumbocrats had to MAKE UP crimes... and ya'all STILL lost!! :D

I mean, let's face the facts here people.. The history of the last 4 years is replete with fact after fact after fact of ya'all being completely an utterly WRONG on *EVERY* occasion..

Oh, but THIS time, ya'all are going to get it right?? :D

Hehehehehe I look forward to the mass exodus when, once again, I am proven dead on ballz accurate about President Trump.. :D

This! Exactly this. It is imperative that Biden choose his VP candidate wisely. For multiple reasons I won't enumerate, I believe his best two choices at the current time are:

Kamala Harris
Elizabeth Warren

Of course, they've both been on my list for over a year and long before Biden had announced he would choose a female VP for the Democratic ticket:

If Biden survives all this BS and piling on and wins the nomination, his choice for VP should be one of the following, and in this order:

1. Stacey Abrams
2. Kamala Harris
3. Elizabeth Warren

I believe I said this before, and I am correct about this so... no argument from you. ;)

Seriously, though, do some research and tell me how long it's been seen the Democratic ticket was 2 white guys. Oh, nevermind, it was 2004... 16 years when 2020 rolls in... so that ship has sailed. :)

So here we are over a year later, and I still like Stacey Abrams, but as history has played out since mid 2019, she's a little further down my list.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Biden should form a tag team of the capable men and women that ran for the presidency with him in order to remove the incompetent three-ring circus... and full steam ahead. :)

That is what is going to lose the election for the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party..

Their wholesale and complete support for the riots, the cop-killings and the looting and the destruction...

I mean, if the Left can't even condemn BLM when they torture innocent toddlers???

How the hell will sane patrtiotic Americans vote for that???

Yes, sir. Looking back, I'll give the Obama-Biden administration an "E" for effort, but at this point in time under the circumstances such as they are, you nailed it. Good form. :)

Well, it appears that their beliefs are delusional in the extreme.

The facts allow for no other conclusion..

Heh.

I am not at all convinced that Kanye & Kim Kardashian’s campaign is anything other than a Trump-branded publicity stunt for his new album.

Something like that, for sure. Whatever the intent, he's already missed ballot access for 2020 in multiple states (including Michigan, Florida, and Texas) that total around 127 of the 538 available electoral votes... womp, womp. He is, to date, on the ballot in Oklahoma totaling 7 electoral votes... far short of the 270 required to become president elect. I believe he's filed in Illinois and Missouri and possibly New Jersey today.

It would hardly be surprising if mentally-disturbed Donald “Wile E Coyote” Drumpf cooked up an ill-advised stunt for a mentally-disturbed Red Hat reality TV rapper to act out during Season 2 because he knows that next to no real Black people will vote for an orange Confederate statue. So, maybe they’ll vote for some other reality TV narcissist?

It appears that Season 2 is doubly loaded with unscripted nut jobs.

He’ll be lucky if they buy his music.

Then I think he'll be lucky in at least one respect... even if his Birthday Party is a predictable dud. Better luck in 2024. Party on, dude! ;)

And yet, EXACTLY what I sounded like is EXACTLY what went down...

So, I have the track record and the credibility behind me..

Ya'all do not...

I capitalized the word and everything, therefore I have won the argument and you all must now agree that it is a FACT that the sky is purple with green polka dots. I win! Everyone else is wrong, including every respected authority under the sun.

Which will rise in the west tomorrow morning -- just you watch!

Sigh. Really, dude, that's how you sound.

Which he's doing right now.

Some hispanic scumbag ran down a guy on a motorcycle simply because they guy was white..

Funny how there are no protests to support this blatant example of Left Wing racism and terrorism..

https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/07/27/will-no-marches-commemorate-death-phillip-thiessen/

As is proven by facts, the only Party that is racist is the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party...

Pzifer and other medical companies are in final testing for the TRUMP Vaccine that will cure the covid pandemic!!!!

Only thru President Trump's awesome leadership was this made possible..

And all with thousands less casualties than under Odumbo's questionable leadership during the OBAMA virus pandemic...

President Trump has got this election in the bag!!! :D

Well, I couldn't have chosen such a good outcome if I had made the rules myself.. :D

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for.. :D

Granted, I wish it could have been done a bit more fairly.. But I understand that the Grand Poobah must maintain his standing amongst those who hate President Trump...

Once I saw the wisdom of what he did and the fact that he laid down the exact same things I wanted with the moratorium, I was a lot happier about how things are right now..

I'm not complaining, though ... :)

Agreed.. :D

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for.. :D

I never dreamed that it could actually happen in spades...

So, I am thrilled to death about things here.. :D

I'm not complaining, though ... :)

I'm afraid that you have fully misinterpreted what Biden said to the wealthy donors. Biden should enlist Tim Geithner - someone who spoke clearly if not loudly about what the big donors need to do. So, there!

Don't jinx it!!! :D

I am willing to put up with some unfair abuse if it cleans things up here in Weigantia... :D

It's the least I can do.. :D

It's great that you are participating here, CW... While I am not blaming you, it's a bona-fide fact that people behave more politely (myself included) when you are around..

Your presence alone will do a lot more to clean things up than all the threats of censorship could ever hope to accomplish..

I'm just sayin'....

The fact that you are using Fox News indicates how ridiculous your argument is.. :D

Polls are carp.. I don't care if they are WaPoop, Polls NY Grime Polls or FoxNews Polls..

Polls that indicate President Trump's support (or lack of) are carp..

This is a PROVEN fact...

As for percent chances that someone will win, those are not polls, sorry. That is Nate Silver playing with numbers, which is a totally different thing (and something I have never personally bought into, even back then).

And yet, the FACTS (as I posted in the videos a few days ago) *PROVE* otherwise..

I get it.. The facts are upsetting to you... I understand that the *ONLY* think you people have to hang your hats on are polls.

So, of course, you'll ignore any facts that prove those polls are carp...

But you ignoring the facts do not make them any less factual....

Your arguments today are nearly identical to your arguments in 2016..

And THOSE arguments were all 1000% **WRONG**..

And yet.. *THIS* time you are going to right, right?? :D

And will I get any concession from ya'all when ya'all ARE proven wrong??

Doubtful... It's going to be the same old Trump/America hate day in and day out..

I'm surprised you haven't taken up the Dear Leader's paranoia by arguing "if Biden wins it means the whole thing was RIGGED!" by now.

Yea, it's as ridiculous and moronic as ya'all's argument that President Trump will refuse to leave office..

Utter speculative bull**** (almost didn't catch that one!! :D) that has no basis in fact or reality...

But you love yours and despise Trumps... :D

You know why I ignore you? Because you are not realistic. Not even close.

You say you want to get big money out of politics, but when any politician actually does something game-changing in that regard, it is simply never enough for you. Case in point: Bernie Sanders.

To you, Bernie raising money from small donors was somehow not pure enough for you, even though he proved that doing so could raise just as much money as Hillary Clinton with her big donors. Instead of encouraging this as a GIGANTIC step in the right direction, you sneered that he was just as bad as all the others because he didn't accept your arbitrary definition of what acceptable "small money" was.

That's pretty much when I decided you were having too much fun tilting at windmills and had no intention of ever actually supporting anyone who tried to change things for the better.

It's a classic example of rejecting the good because it is not perfect (according to you).

No politician will EVER be pure enough for your standards, which is why your idea will never actually become reality.

Sorry, but you asked, so that's how I really feel about your proposal.

-CW

Um, yeah -- the folks at Fox News are part of the grand liberal conspiracy. They skew their own polls to show Biden far out in the lead because they REALLY want him to win.

Do you even see how ridiculous that sounds?

Those would be the same Fox News pollsters that Karl Rove had to go yell at when reality didn't match the fiction in his head on election night, if you'll recall. And guess what? They were right, and he was wrong.

As for percent chances that someone will win, those are not polls, sorry. That is Nate Silver playing with numbers, which is a totally different thing (and something I have never personally bought into, even back then).

I'm surprised you haven't taken up the Dear Leader's paranoia by arguing "if Biden wins it means the whole thing was RIGGED!" by now.

Oh well, there's plenty of time for that, I guess.

-CW

And yet, I am ***ALWAYS*** accused of not having any support for my arguments..

Ergo, I have gotten into the habit of providing that support for my arguments..

On the other hand, I am at your mercy.. If you order me to stop providing support for my arguments I will, of course, abide by your rules..

In return, I expect the same rules to be applied to everyone else...

And the Vanity Vote has absolutely NO BEARING on ANYTHING..

It's like the luser team crying, "But!!! But!!! We got more field goals than the other team!!!"

The polls were completely and utterly wrong..

98% chance that Hillary would be POTUS.

96% chance that Hillary would be POTUS.

75% chance that Hillary would be POTUS..

"There is simply NO WAY that Donald Trump is going to win this election.."

Does ANY of that sound familiar??? :D

Ya'all can gloat about polls til the cows come home..

But 2 facts still remain..

1. POLLS are *ALL* ya'all have going for ya'all..

and

2. POLLS are *PROVEN* to be carp when it come to President Trump..

These 2 facts PROVE that Basement Biden is going to lose..

But hay... If yer so sure, why not let's make a little wager??? :D

Cutesy "look how I'm bending the rules but not breaking them" comments will also likely get removed, just because I feel like it at this point.

That answer your question?

Not really but it will have to suffice, I guess...

Quit posting "this makes me feel better" clips from everywhere under the sun. Nobody reads them, and it doesn't advance your own argument.

You are fully capable of making the argument on your own -- don't use the crutch of cut-n-paste. Say: "This is what I think and here's why," and then post a link at the end with "and here's someone who agrees with me" WITHOUT posting eight paragraphs of some other article.

It's tedious and just makes people scroll past what you are trying to say. C'mon, man, you are better than a parrot, aren't you?

Sigh.

-CW

Which has no bearing on the here and now..

Oh, but it does. Back then, the GOP line was "pollsters oversample Democrats, therefore we're going to do our own math and fix the problem. Read OUR polls where Obama is losing badly, and feel better!"

Sound familiar? That is EXACTLY what the White House is now saying about any poll they don't agree with... which is all of them. Including Fox News polls. Can't wait to see Karl Rove in November... although maybe he's learned his lesson...

Hillary was up in the national popular vote by 3 or 4 points. She won by almost exactly the margin predicted. That, my friend, is a fact.

Cue the: "But millions of illegals voted, although I have zero evidence of that even after forming a commission to prove this falsehood that had to disband after they found no evidence of it." whining...

Sigh.

-CW

Cutesy "look how I'm bending the rules but not breaking them" comments will also likely get removed, just because I feel like it at this point.

If elected, Biden, 77, would be the oldest first-term president in the nation’s history. Some question whether he can handle the rigors of the brutal campaign ahead.

We'll find out on 29 Sep 2020... :D

BLM leaders say they want capitalism abolished. Sixty years since the civil rights era began, America is still a place where the state routinely oppresses Blacks, as the world seeks their “demise,” the group alleges.

There is simply NO WAY on this planet that ANY sane patriotic American is going to vote for Basement Biden when people like ^^^^ that will be the ones who are given power..

It simply will not come to pass..

You said actual quotes from people that contain profanity are permissible..

Does that include movie/TV quotes???

Let's face reality here..

First off, what we witnessed was not "nauseating", it was police work.. Police work is like sausage being made.. It's ugly to watch, but it's necessary... Floyd did not die by strangulation.. He died because he was obese, had a bad heart, ingested Meth and Fentynal and he decided to fight the law.. The law won..

Those who say otherwise are simply judging Floyd by the color of his skin and not his actions or his (lack of) character...
