So the bigger charts are good with everyone?

Just asking...

I think they're great... almost a necessity if we're going to be able to find the Trump 2020 "little orange" line. Heh. Seriously, they do look awesome.

Just asking...

-CW

Nice!

Don Harris [in general]-

You may be the only person in America who has convinced themselves that it would make no difference whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden wins the election.

Seriously, given the binary choice, who would you rather see as our next president? Who do you think would be better for the country overall for the next four years?

"Some pie-in-the-sky dreamworld" is not a valid response. Biden, or Trump? If you can't answer that without dissembling, then you have proven your own irrelevance, at this point. Again.

Kick [34] -

Nice bit of research. As you said, there's always a Trump tweet for that...

Don Harris [37] -

I have been asking CW to do HIS job and inform citizens about this idea. My job that I have been doing is to keep after him until he does.

Until CW addresses this without the purity dodges I will discuss it with anyone that wants to have an adult discussion but not with people playing boring childish trolling games.

[Holds up mirror...]

Couldn't have described your comments better than "childish trolling games," in fact...

My job is actually to ignore shticks that are boring. And trolls.

Deal with it.

I struggle with the double-consonant multiple-syllable problem on a regular basis. I usually come down on the "double it" side of things, because that's how I was originally taught proper grammar (even though my spellchecker disagrees with me on a regular basis), but in some instances it just looks too weird. "Travelling" in particular. But I did want to let you know that I've been aware of this debate for awhile now...

As for beer:

"I like beer."

Probably the only thing he's ever said that I agree with.

Heh.

-CW

i thought it was backpedaling, or backpedalling with two ells in british. i've seen 'backpeddling' written before, and i'm not opposed to dialect differences. it's just that peddling also means selling door to door, so to me it always sounded more like trying to sell someone back something they just sold you, as opposed to the bicycle motion from which the idiom originated.

That's great news. A senile president is far preferable to a self-serving asshole, but you'd think out of 330 million citizens, we ought to be able to do at least a little better than that!

What (besides Fox News or OAN) makes you think Joe is senile? Just because Cheetogod tweets something doesn't make it true.

Sure, I wanted Bernie or Elizabeth. But the more I look at Joe the better I feel about him. 'Tever, if vote for a (senile?) tuna sandwich if it got Trump out of the Whitehouse and into the arms of SDNY . I think Trump's going to go down for tax fraud and campaign finance violations (paying off Stormy.)

THIS is just precious...

The Anthem we sing as we vote him away!

Heh. That one is good. :)

K, Elizabeth, it's a date. Should be a new CW by then.

(sound of MtnCaddy shouting out to the neighborhood, "Woo-hoo! I got a date with Miss Canada, I got a date with Miss Canada!")

The Anthem we sing as we vote him away!

(Not) sorry, Elizabeth, but this couldn't wait until Sunday.

Another Atlantic piece!?

Just got home from work and am beat. Tomorrow promises to be mainly sunny and it's my day off. So, I'll be poolside without the pool for most of the day.

I do wish to discuss both articles and will before the end of the week - don't look for my responses on any old threads, though. Late Wednesday night will probably be the best time for me.

Spam, poor attempt at an insult, Spam, Spam, Spam, back peddling, Spam, creepy stalking and Spam.

Yep!

Once he finally acknowledges that it is a problem he probably will do something different.

Pigs will probably fly out of your backside.

Until then I will keep offering my opinion that he should acknowledge the problem.

The problem is staring back at you in every mirror you look.

Never stop hammering.

I have a better idea. I'm going to never stop voting to choose my representatives, and I'm going to never take my vote for granted because too many people suffered, were beaten, and gave up their lives so I could vote. Anyone who would encourage "not voting" would not be something I could ever support, and I would wager CW never would either.

I know I'm quite capable of showing them that w/o ODd and Little Orange pretty conclusively proves that "we" can do it as well.

This! ^^^^^ Right here! ^^^^^ That's what I'm talking about!

Stop the hammering!

Heh. :)

That is what One Demand is- showing the Deathocrats that we are capable of not voting for them.

No one needs any help or to pay for the pleasure of "not voting."

No offense, but only a white guy in America would come up with such an ignorant idea. Women and minorities fought too long and too hard to earn their right to vote in this country only to have someone come along and suggest they just throw it away and self-disenfranchise.

There are no perfect candidates, but it's a damn fool who doesn't get off their butt and exercise their right to vote for candidates who best represent their political beliefs and will appoint judges to the SCOTUS and federal courts accordingly.

Too many women suffered for far too long working their asses off so that they and their daughters could have a say in their own lives. Too much blood has been spilled and far too many people have died being beaten by police and being assassinated to earn their right to vote!

So to recap: Only a stupid white guy would suggest this type self-disenfranchisement type shit.

Sorry not sorry for cursing!

I do like Little Orange's chart up there, but I'm pretty sure that Moscow Mitch has seen it.

That's what I'm talking about; if Donny can't get his "Little Orange" line up on CW's chart, he's done for. Moscow Mitch is already giving permission for those facing reelection to "distance themselves" from Trump.

McConnell signal to Republican Senate candidates: Distance from Trump if necessary

I'd say it's imperative they distance themselves from Deathbed Donald, and cue the commercials where they bowed and cowered.

The fact that the senate Republicons are dragging their feet on another round of stimulus is a sure sign that they think Fat Donny's gonna lose. They're already positioning themselves to run against the massive debt that's accumulated thanks to their policies.

Ted Cruz is already making us all throw up with his preening. Just wait until he's up for reelection in 2024. Next time, he's out of there! We're on it... slow and steady wins the race! :)

Okay, I get it. He sure wasn't persuading anybody down here in the comments section. I wonder how he's doing with his man-crush CW -- hah!

Do you lack irony receptors?

You are the F'in' King o' Repetition! You keep selling the same rickety product that people tell you they don't want. Repetition seems to be the the only thing are good at. Your critics are more persuasive than you are.

You don't even update your brochure.

It's your job to persuade

Don has an audience of one. A fixation with CW. He's not trying to persuade anyone else. He's just beating a dead horse.

I hereby deem you not serious, not any kind of contributor to these pages, and therefore, simply a no damn use troll. Bye bye.

So you're completely wussing out. Figures. And you'll keep on bleating "get real" over and over, but like d-bag Repugs nationwide, you run away/change the subject when the hard questions come.

Some weeks ago,

[64] Bleydwrote:

I'm seeing a pretty monumental flaw in your OD plan. You essentially seem to require a majority of the citizens to simultaneously go on strike against non-OD candidates in favor of a single OD-friendly candidate in order for it to work. That's simply unrealistic.

So I ask you, what is the workable plan of action you are proposing? Ideals and concepts are great, but unless you have a way to put them into practice, they won't get you far.

Let's add Kicks two cents:

...and after all these years, you still haven't answered a boatload of questions along the same lines.

A strong and competent leader would not take big money to run their campaign. ~ Don Harris

Prove it. Your equating of "big money" with evildoers is tedium ad nauseam and something for which you've yet to provide any proof despite multiple requests to do so.

You've claim repeatedly that those who would accept more than your mandate aren't worthy, strong, competent, etc. Prove it. I could set my own arbitrary purity test and claim that those candidates who don't say 25 "Hail Mary's" a day aren't "strong and competent" leaders because I said so. I mean, if they're not willing to hit their knees and do the praying, they cannot possibly be worthy to lead. It sounds stupid because it is. Your standard operational statements sound likewise.

And...my one cent:

The only thing I would have added to her comment is the question that you've yet to answer, namely, what about the ocean of PAC money out there? Corporate money, "dark" money and (possibly/likely in Trump's case) foreign money?

Brother Don the above commentary pretty well collects together my issues with OD.

The balls in your court. Stand and deliver, Baby -- I know you can do it!

As is typical in a Lost in trumplation episode the viewer is required to suspend belief in the meaning of words.

Absent the the Democratic plan, yes, there will be millions of people "out on the street." I think Trump's October Surprise will be war with Iran.

Trump being ever the projectionist, there's precedent for that too:
*

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.

1:48 PM * Nov 29, 2011

Trump Tweet 1

*

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

4:39 PM * Oct 9, 2012

Trump Tweet 2

*

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected--be careful Republicans!

11:43 AM * Oct 22, 2012

Trump Tweet 3

*

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!

4:23 PM * Sep 16, 2013

Trump Tweet 4

*
There's always a tweet or multiple tweets.

C'mon man! I care enough to give you the opportunity to address the issues I have with OD, and you reply, "I already have."

You've been begging CW to do your job instead of his job for, what, five years now? Endlessly whining repetitive dreck, over and over. Yet you can't repeat your reasoning and case for OD?

It looks like you won't because you can't.

Why don't you either put up or shut up? As whack as the (not) dearly departed Michale is, at least he's not as boring as you are.

Spam, poor attempt at an insult, Spam, Spam, Spam, back peddling, Spam, creepy stalking and Spam.

Of course we can, but we could do lots of pointless things. We could also do the same with Cow Patties and Don Harris.

Naw, he'll always be Cheetogod to moi. It sure looks like Trump is Toast.

He'll always be "Benedict Donald" to me too, but just look at his tiny little orange line on that Republican Strong Plus Weak chart. That line right there is some puny "little orange."

So to recap: If Trump can't get that little orange line up, he really will be toast. :)

Hands down my favorite comment this week, er, Stig, swimming in an ocean of good comments hereabouts. Bravo!

I have correctly identified your problem. If it were a problem for CW, he'd probably do something different.

You are barking up the wrong tree.

It is CW that should stop hammering the Trump is bad you have no other choice mantra.

Aside from the fact that CW doesn't argue that Trump is so bad that we have no other choice but Trump, there is the fact that the Dems are his chosen party. He's doesn't seem to be shopping for some other party.

Your headline makes me wonder-

If Biden is solid, what physical state is Trump in? Gas, Liquid or Plasma?

Trump is under a lot of pressure, so Degenerate might apply... :)

I can't quibble with your calls.

According to the number of yard signs in South West Ohio, enthusiasm for Trump is way past its freshness date. Out-competed by For Sale signs.

Big Money Joe and the Dems had better have a game plan since we've seen this movie before. It should already be in motion. The Return of the Teabaggers is already in production.

A couple of quotes:

In the face of upheaval, [Biden] has given reason to hope that the traits that were his supposed weaknesses could prove to be his great strengths. If one of the ultimate purposes of protest is to push politicians, he’s shown himself a politician willing to be pushed. His tendency to channel the zeitgeist has supplied him with the potential to meet a very difficult moment.

The challenge for the Biden candidacy is to bridge an alliance with a resurgent left. Biden, a creature of the Senate, has to convince young people rushing to the barricades that he’s worth a trip to the polls. And the challenge for the left is to accept that Biden is its greatest chance of achieving its long-held dreams. What he’s demonstrated over the past week is a willingness to play the role of tribune, to let the moment carry him to a new place.

Betcha he doesn't pay off on the wagers he made with John M & I.

There's that word again, tsunamied. Heh.

Pelosi has the Repugs by the short hairs. Whatever so-and-so Trumpanzies tell the pollsters I believe that the majority of Americans want and need more relief.

After decades of serial tax cuts for the folks who least need them there's no excuse to not help out everyone, for once.

BTW why is it that whenever a Red state like Texas or Florida gets hit by a hurricane it's "America's problem," but when a pandemic kills people in all 50 states, "We're on our own?"

Absent the the Democratic plan, yes, there will be millions of people "out on the street." I think Trump's October Surprise will be war with Iran.

Poor Donald 2020... at least we can refer to him as "Little Orange" now.

Yep, sure looks good for Joe & Elizabeth Miller.

Can we post charts & graphics in this comment section? Just asking, um, for a friend.

Nicole Wallace keeps her show and absorbs Todd's slot as well. That's two women who have been promoted to prominant roles on MSDNC. Joy Reid just got the Hardball slot for her new show.

If anyone has any problems viewing them, please let me know.
