Trump was horrible on any issues having to do with the environment
Preferring Biden over Trump was tested in the last election. When Nixon and Agnew’s dishonesty and disloyalty were clearly shown the Republicans HAD to come up with a person who was solid on loyalty and honesty. No one would argue that Gerald Ford was the sharpest knife in the drawer but his integrity was never questioned and THAT was the point. It is the same with Biden - no one is arguing that he is the brightest, most athletic, etc but he could and did beat Trump and THAT is the point.
What? You think Biden's integrity has never been questioned??

Preferring Biden over Trump was tested in the last election. When Nixon and Agnew’s dishonesty and disloyalty were clearly shown the Republicans HAD to come up with a person who was solid on loyalty and honesty. No one is arguing that Ford was the sharpest knife in the drawer but he WAS honest and loyal to our country. No one is arguing that Biden is the most intelligent, athletic, etc presidential candidate but he could -and did - beat Trump and that is what the Democrats had to have.
What are you on about? I am trying to explain why the Democrats HAD to choose a person like Biden by using an analogy with the Republicans having to choose a person like Ford. It is not about Biden having or not having any trait; it is about a person who had the qualities that the one(s) being replaced did not have and could, therefore, win.
As I recall, the main quality Biden had was that he was not Bernie, which is why the party hacks got together and decided on Joe despite his obvious mental decline (remember the debate when he said parents should leave the record player on at night?)
Chump lost when he got unhinged in that last debate with Biden. I think he actually sick with COVID then also.
You could be right as he certainly was not Bernie but I think he was chosen because poll after poll showed he could beat Trump. He was liked by major voting groups - women, independents, et al. But overall he could - and did - beat Trump.
This is the point that some here can’t seem to grasp: a lot of smart people looked at Biden and saw an utterly flawed candidate who had no business being President… and they still thought that was better than four more years of Trump.
People on here even laughed at Biden for sitting in his basement during the campaign. And they were right! It was amazing to see how little he did.
Law enforcement sees it.
If I remember correctly, Biden won by the exact same electoral college victory that Trump called (checks for exact quote from Trump):
I guess we just write off the 30% of the country that believes everything he says and declares anything that paints him in a negative light as fake news.
Trump was the first Republican to garner more than 300 electoral votes since 1988. But then he turned around and lost by the same margin while never winning a popular vote.
Trump only has a few arrows in his quiver: deflection, distraction, false claims that no one holds him to, and delay.
The issue, of course, is that he’s still the front runner of the Republican Party. They can’t and won’t quit him. He was trotted out last night, said he could declassify whatever just by thinking about it, wasn’t challenged at all on that, and people lap it up. And the same stupid people that lap it up will vote for him.
What’s kind of funny now is that the Special Master won’t be involved with the documents that are marked as classified is that now Trump has to pay for the SM and it probably won’t slow down the DOJ hardly at all on any potentially serious charges as those would almost certainly be related to the classified stuff.
To be fair, I have read that Hannity pushed him about video evidence of planting things, and of course Trump just hand-waved it away. The thing about him is, he doesn’t consider it lying if no one proves otherwise. He is pathological. The man has no moral character and no business being President of anything.
It trump wins in ‘24 he’s going for a repeal of the 22nd amendment. His narcissism would allow nothing less.
Even so, they still happily bring him on. I assume because their audience is, indeed, that stupid and it’s good for ratings.
Give Trump credit for learning a new phrase
Give Trump credit for learning a new phrase (“chain of custody”) which he will now use at every speech. Not sure he really understands what it means but that will not pose a problem for him at all.
Sees what?
This post is beneath you in my opinion.
Sorry, when I said 'they' I was referring to your statement that a 'substantial majority' of Americans see it (whatever it is).
I completely agree that more people, in aggregate, watch their local podunk news station than fox.
You are saying that national nbc + cbs + abc + msnbc + cnn + npr + google + etc is less than Fox?
Fair! I guess it depends how you frame the issue.
Yes, you were framing the issue to deceive naïve people like Beth who want to believe what you said without questioning it.
Makes one feel bad for those po ducks.

Any idea on where any of these potential candidates stand on the simple question, how does it benefit the US for Ukraine to be in NATO?
Naive I may be but I know how to use the word podunk AND the difference between poduck and podunk.
Okay - you linked an opinion piece by some guy named Ben Weingarten. I'm not sure what Ben's law enforcement background is - didn't look it up. But I'm going to guess it's either minimal, none, or he was fired for misconduct.Makes one feel bad for those po ducks.
Speaking of which, reminds me that you (and others) have been ducking my questions about the FBI. You might find this account of a true friend and hero to this nation of interest. I have heard there are several more agents giving up their careers to do likewise.
