The opposite happened with NSC.
I honestly don't think, looking at the numbers, that anyone would've beaten Trump.It was clear 18 months/2 years ago that Biden wasn't up to it
The search should have started then and a proper election for the nomination should have been held.
Trump is a vile human, they played on this way to much, people know he is, that's not going to change voters minds.
According to her bio - DC. 27. Dem Strategist.
It's really not that much of a mystery why they lost
They're both democratically elected politicians, why aren't they allowed to celebrate each others success?I think the worst part of it will be smug Farage the work shy twat
You are confusing someone winning as not being an idiot.Yep and it mirrors the rhetoric on here. Anyone daring to show any support for the republicans shot down as an idiot, lambasted. The real idiots are the arrogant people who keep up this line of debate.
Viva California lol ?Kinnell.
So the populist politics of hate, division and misogyny win out then. Seems some people genuinely believe he is interested in anything other than revenge, ensuring his ego didn’t suffer the ignominy of being a one term president and wealth accumulation. Not forgetting allowing Elon Smell et al to peddle uncensored nonsense online (you think social media is bad now!) and Vlad some lovely holiday homes in Western Europe. The world is just that little bit darker this morning.
Viva California.
I'm not. There's a way to support your candidate without trashing and looking down on the other side. And that goes for Dems and republicans.You are confusing someone winning as not being an idiot.
As for arrogance. What is worse, ignorance, arrogance or apathy?
It’s not him who’ll be doing the damage. It’s those who used him to get power. They’ve been preparing this time and they’ll be far more radical. Christian Nationalism will be given free reign to pursue all of its medieval obsessions.Let's hope his senility kicks in fairly soon and he forgets he's president, and just bimbles around his golf courses before he can do too much damage.
Around this time 8 years ago whilst on a cruise, had a beer or two with a very level headed, educated gent from Chicago who was lamenting it was probably one of the most significant elections in the free world, the top job in the US, and they’d ended up with Trump and Clinton as the final two, someone has just said the self same thing on the TV nearly 10 years onI honestly don't think, looking at the numbers, that anyone would've beaten Trump.
Good luck with that.The only crumb I can add is that this should be the catalyst for Europe (including UK) to be strong together, militarily and economically. Because, if Russia takes Ukraine and then lines up on the borders with Poland or the Baltics... I could see Trump undermining NATO resistance.
A cure for homosexuality. Compulsory prayer!It’s not him who’ll be doing the damage. It’s those who used him to get power. They’ve been preparing this time and they’ll be far more radical. Christian Nationalism will be given free reign to pursue all of its medieval obsessions.
She would be, but she didn't want it.Can't help think that with a bit more time, Michelle Obama would have been a better candidate!!
That's not actually true. For example, this is a post I made on this thread on the 15th October...Yep and it mirrors the rhetoric on here. Anyone daring to show any support for the republicans shot down as an idiot, lambasted. The real idiots are the arrogant people who keep up this line of debate.
It's not support for the Republicans that is so depressing. It's the support for Trump as a person.Yep and it mirrors the rhetoric on here.

100%.It's not support for the Republicans that is so depressing. It's the support for Trump as a person.
Malleable not gullibleThat's not actually true. For example, this is a post I made on this thread on the 15th October...
I'll describe a friend of mine in the US. You tell me who they vote for...- Female- University educated- Bright- Funny- Socially aware- Lives in Southern California...you've guessed she votes Trump, because I wouldn't be asking otherwise.In our discussions around this, I think it really comes down to the belief that Trump is better for a strong US economy, and a strong US economy is best for her family's ongoing prosperity and quality of life.A few years ago her husband lost his job and it took him a fair while to find another one. I know she was genuinely concerned they would lose their home and find themselves in a bad financial position in a country that doesn't do a great job of looking after those who fall on hard times.And I guess I can empathise with that, regardless of my incredulity as to how anyone could believe Trump is capable to lead the US.Blindly dismissing tens of millions of people as stupid is easy to do, but short-sighted.
Gullible may be a more accurate tag, if any has to be found.
Trump has perfected the playbook of convincing a lot of people that he's in their corner, fighting for them. He's really not. If the working people are better off, it's merely a side-effect of those he's actually focused on.
