Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Benggaul]

Rasmussen just released a poll showing Trump leading so expect the usual 5 drive-by trolls to come in and crow about it for a while.

Funny how Trump seems to forget Rasmussen exists whenever their numbers slip back closer to reality.

[Machismo]

Uhh it was hosted by ABC ... did you really watch it?

Are people that lost loved ones to Covid entitled to any level of hostility in your opinion?
Or people that lost jobs to Covid?

I watched most, not all.

They are allowed to be hostile, I have no sympathy for Trump. But, I don't believe they are as undecided as they claimed, at least some of them. This reminds me of Joe the Plumner, although Obama handled that far better.

First off, not CNN.

Second off, these are generally how town halls go. Unless you're showing up for some super friendly gathering that's staged, it's mostly pretty hostile questions from folks upset about something - https://www.rollingstone.com/politic...wn-hall-57982/

This is a known quantity for a town hall, especially during times of unrest and crisis. If team Trump didn't expect this going into it expecting a bunch of easy softballs that doesn't make it a "trap", it just makes all of them fuckin retards.

Jesus christ I missed this clip.

"People think masks are bad!"

"Who?"

"...waiters."

And then goes onto give a totally real and actually happened anecdote of a waiter fiddling with his mask while he was serving Trump.

I like waiters. My brother's one, and I used to wait tables. But I ain't lookin to waiters for medical advise during a pandemic, nobody should.

Yes, ABC, not CNN. My mind screwed up with Stephanopouppalopoulous. That was my mistake.

Yes, town halls can be very hostile, which shows things werent as undecided as they had claimed.

And thats fine, I'm all for hostility and aggressive questions towards Trump.

The key was that Trump fumbled this horribly.

... and another Trump appointee takes a 60 days vacation from HHS, after going on a conspiracy rant:

Top HHS official takes leave of absence after Facebook rant on CDC conspiracies
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...t-cdc-n1240051

The move came days after top HHS spokesman Michael Caputo warned of a CDC plot against the president and urged Trump supporters to "buy ammunition."

[Machismo]

A trap only for the unprepared. anyone with a brain could have seen these kinds of questions coming. How Trump or his campaign didn't see this coming and have prepared remarks is a woeful example if how poorly run his campaign is.


But I'm sure Trump will be on Hannity any day now so he can have his ego stoked and feel better about himself.

Oh, Trump was not prepared. Thats the problem with a pathological narcissist, they assume everyone loves them.

Trump was fucking terrible, and I have no doubt this will be the last time they allow him to be this vulnerable.

The words we all love to see:

"I found this poll interesting..."

[Adam Jensen]

The CNN town hall was a trap, no doubt about it. The open hostility of a couple of the question givers was apparent.

That doesn't excuse Trump's complete and total inability to answer coherently. I guarantee you he's screamed at anyone who helped to agree to that town hall, because there's no way he can blame himself for such an obvious failure.

I'm sorry but any politician who goes to a town hall, where anyone with any opinion can ask a question, and does not expect any hostility, is a moron.

This goes for Democrat and Republican politicians as well.

Who do they poll?

I love that Rasmussen always finds a way to put Trump in the lead when every other pollster finds Biden 3-10 (depending on poll) points ahead.

Oh, I have no sympathy for Trump, whatsoever. But, I simply wanted to make it clear this "undecided" group was not unbiased, or even neutral.

Second Q-conspiracy nutter GOP Senate candidate wins their primary. She's all that and a bag of hot cray - antisemitism, flat-earth, 9/11 conspiracies, and shoutouts from a right wing extremist kicked off of YouTube for violating hate speech policies.

The party continues to lose ground to the Trump-aligned conspiracy theorist nutters.

Weird you assume drive by troll means you...

Guilty conscience? But where there's smoke, there's fire.

Not necessarily. Undecideds have every right to be hostile to a piece of shit for brains president who has risked their lives and livelihoods because he thinks he is the ce ter of the universe. Hell, even Trump supporters can be hostile to him. Hostility doesn't mean partisan.

No... I’ll let Carly Simon explain:

But, it does show that they aren't really undecided. People aren't normally openly hostile to candidates they support. You cannot tell me they would have been just as hostile to Biden, because you and I both know that'snot the case.

And honestly, that's fine. They have every right to be hostile towards Trump the shitbag.

[Benggaul]

Weird you assume drive by troll means you... And everyone is aware Rasmussen has a flawed methodology.

Wait wait wait. Did they assume I was talking about them? I can't see their posts normally for obvious reasons but hooooly shit is that funny/sad. Victim complex indeed.

And will all that, the racism, the hate, the conspiracy theories - Trump and his horrific ilk are still holding tough in the general election. I weep for this country.

This is why I keep repeating that Trump is merely a symptom of the issues in the country.

Even if the Dems were to sweep both halves of Congress and the Presidency, the rot in American society will still be there.

[Benggaul]

In semi-related good news, Collins is currently losing big-time in the latest polls from Maine. She might not be around to be "concerned" about the abject failure of the GOP for much longer.

And Lady G is currently tied with Harrison in South Carolina. I still think Graham will win because I'm sorry, South Carolina, but you've been nutty.

[beanman12345]

You literally called yourself out, you are the one who latched onto the post. Weird you’re projecting like your hero Trump... very weird.

inb4 he also emulates his hero by calling you dishonest and taking no responsibility. alas I won't be seeing it.

[Benggaul]

Sadly Moscow Mitch is dominating his race. If the dems don’t take the senate it’ll be a long 4 years with his bullshit continuing.

He was always going to win. He's the most hated Senator in the states but they always reelect him. As much hype as McGrath gets she has never really stood a good chance.

EDIT: You should also note that Trump has expanded his lead in Kentucky to something like 20 points. That says all that needs to be said about the probability of a Dem being chosen as Senator there right now.

[downnola]

You said Trump was my Hero. That's why.

You are doing the exact same shit, misrepresenting me to make some snide troll comment.

I swear you and a couple other posters here are absolutely incapable of responding to threads without somehow making them about yourself. Here's another 1 Notification for you, clearly that's all you're after.

He's not always the most hated, sometimes it's him, sometimes its Collins. Moscow Bitch aint going anywhere but hopefully we get rid of that hag.
