Fox News praises Biden!
www.gransnet.com/forums/coronavirus/a1283562-Your-opinion-on-reporting-of-the-pandemic?msgid=28131178#28131178
There is nothing pertaining to Fox news praising Trump associated with that link-
Individuals with charisma win elections- That's a fact- From local elections to presidential- It was one of Trump's assets that influenced voters decisions-
But no matter who holds office of president, after 4 years people are smart enough to see what's veneer and what isn't-
I don't think elections are won on charisma alone, but it's one of several essential deciding factors-
Not everyone is excited about Kamala either-
This election is about ousting Trump, above all else- And if Biden wins, "then" people might get excited after crying their eyes out with joy that the dark days of the Trump administration are over-
Democrats also have to win back the Senate- If not, getting anything and everything done will be hard won, if won at all-
Thanks growstuff for telling us what the Republicans have to say about Trump.
Maybe people aren't excited about Biden, but I fervently hope that Trump's numerous misdemeanors (putting it mildly!), and clear signs of mental illness, will swing enough of them to vote for his opponent, whoever he is.
Now Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris - here is someone to get excited about!
And whatever Biden's shortcomings, he is basically a decent man (as far as we know), and a seasoned politician. I wouldn't expect miracles, but the new incumbent does not to be brilliant to do better than this maniac they have had in office for the last 3 1/2 years.
Fingers crossed. Surely, surely they can't re-elect Trump???!!
Wow!
They knew all along ...

I don't think after the last four years, that Americans, or anyone else, should be looking for excitement in a leader.
Perhaps it is now the time to look for decency and effective government, not the chaos of populism.
I think the global tipping point was Arab Spring, its beginning of the end of the world as we knew it having begun in Tunisia-
Tulsa could have definitely ushered in the beginning of the end of Trump-
It's important to understand that most articles don't represent the disenfranchised Americans in Appalachia and other regions of the U.S. that have long suffered, ignored by former administrations-
It's these people that will determine the true worth of Biden's presidency should he win- Not the cities along both coasts-
I can ask people to please not judge how well Biden is received based on articles but instead actually speak to Americans -- the majority of which aren't represented in the media-
We know that Democrats aren't "excited" about Biden- We know our fellow Republicans that are stepping across the aisle to vote Democrat aren't "excited" about Biden either-But despite what we think collectively of Biden, we are collectively excited about voting Trump out of Washington-
Excellent and long article by John Sopel on why Tulsa might be the start of the end for Trump.

Biden’s speech was received very well.
In fact it went much much better than democrats expected.
Even Fox admitted it was a good speech.
What I like to see is the united front the democrats are presenting to the USA. Even some republicans have said that couldn’t stomach another Trump term.
Conservatives who have repudiated the president are an essential part of the coalition that could elect Biden—and reshape American politics for years to come.

Let's hope this time they suceed

Listen to what this WWII veteran, a lifelong Republican has to say about Trump and Biden

Do you think the destruction, violence, looting, raised racial tension, the defunding of police, break down in law and order etc. in cities such as Seattle, Portland, New York, all Democrat run cities, will have no part to play in voter decisions.?
There were so many times in 2016 when it was unbelievable that trump wasn’t removed from the candidacy. Imitating a disabled reporter; being cruel to an Asian gold star family; talking about grabbing women by the pussy; and then after he was elected the constant lying. I know the USA isn’t my country, but ISTM that what happens there affects the rest of the world. trump isn’t interested in climate change or continuing anything which Obama created or set up. trump is obviously unwell and at the same time treats the Presidency as an almighty reality show. Also, has any other FLOTUS been quite as inept as Melania? I am sorry, but this man’s actions over the past four years have haunted me. Sadly, it is possible he could win another term. He has said he would not necessarily accept the result if he loses in November. I know there are checks and balances in place if he refuses to leave the WH in January 2021, but just think of the mayhem he could cause in the meantime. A final thought - what on Earth could he say in his final letter to his successor?
Biden Leads Trump by 8%, but 7% of Americans Say They Won't Vote for Either
www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-leads-trump-by-8-but-7-of-americans-say-they-won-t-vote-for-either/ar-BB18fqPH?ocid=AMZN
Currently, most Democrats I know will vote Biden holding their nose- The rest are undecided: Won't vote or will write in their choice-
But as we draw closer I think most will vote Biden, because they couldn't stomach 4 more years of Trump-
The other night during the campaign, there were repeated mentions of increasing the minimum wage for "full time" workers- I found that rather disturbing since a large percentage of people hold down several "part time" jobs to survive because "full time" positions are scarce-
Just prior to the financial crisis, employers began the practice of hiring part time opposed to full so that they didn't have offer healthcare- And it's remained that way ever since-

Here's a good breakdown of the Bannon/Wall/Boat debacle:

Trump loses bid to block tax returns release after judge's ruling. The documents being sought cover the timespan the US president is alleged to have paid off women to keep quiet about affairs.

His tax affairs should have been made public in 2016, but he has been hiding them ever since.
Steve Bannon indicted by federal prosecutors, charged with defrauding ‘We Build the Wall’ donors

which interview please?
I expected a lot of the leavers are a bit edgy.
Steve Bannon has been "charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering." justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/leaders-
I see that Bannon has been arrested for fraud relating to a fundraising scheme.
Well it is a start I suppose.
