only a win if Trump gets back in and the plebs retain the senate. If they lose both of those then that's the end of the Republican party as you know it. The Dems will **** them over (and rightly so) at every turn - you reap what you sow McConnell
Trump getting back in is the whole purpose of him picking her. He wants her vote to help by I'm steal the election if it reaches the supreme court.

And the GOP are OK with that because they have no principles anymore. They'll do anything to keep power, including abandoning democracy.

They're not gonna come back towards liberalism for a long time. The only principle their voters have is how much they hate liberals. And history shows what happens when hatred of liberals is the guiding principle of a significant and powerful minority.

America is losing its democracy. If you live there I'd consider leaving because there will be a time fairly soon when liberals in America are put up against the wall.

And do you really think the Democrats have any principles? Or indeed believe in a democracy?
The way they have acted over the last 4 years is scandalous, the whole impeachment process was a shambles. It was all done with no evidence whatsoever. It was done with a fake dossier payed for by Hillary Clinton, and devilishly pursued by Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff etc. All corrupt career politicians who couldn’t give a damn about the American people, but just want power.
All the troubles and divisions they have in the states are not just caused by Trump, the democrats and msm are totally to blame.

And admit it, you’re Imploding Turtle aren’t you? ;)

Yes, it makes total sense that KCLS paid the consultants for the benefit of the consultants and did not expect their own KCLS employees to learn anything! KCLS's statement was presumably very carefully worded in order to try to avoid legal action. It's ok to use a bit of common sense in these circumstances when reading their statement and looking at the other evidence. However well meaning it might have been, the racial segregation was real not make believe.

I was going to answer your questions DA but it's all become predictably childish and it's just not worth the trouble. First you throw out the silly "sad little race baiter" slur followed up by Peter's pathetic comment. You seem to have thrown in the towel on debating me and only want to debate the imaginary me that lives in your head!

Anyway, these race issues are close to home for me and it's not just a silly boys clever dick waving contest. This stuff is the thin end of the wedge of the way things are developing and it matters. I will continue to oppose racial segregation methods.
This activity would be the first step of a whole range of measures for the consultants to improve the situation. The first stage would be to understand the here and now and one way they can do that is listen to the people who work here and thats what this is. They would have access to and assess other parts of the business like process and policies. With this information thy would identify areas that could be improved and then they would be a whole programme of activities to help the business and its employees move forward.

I have explained the race baiting in that the only news sources I have found for the story that you have introduced are right wing misinformation rags and a Twitter account which is full of race baiting material and really awful stuff to get people angry and to devide the different races

I have asked a few times for you to provide me your source for this story and as you have avoided this my only logical solution is that you have got it from one of the news sources I have mentioned. Furthermore if this is the kind of sources and people you follow and put your trust in I can only assume you go along with their race baiting. If there is a reputable news source which ran this story which alerted it to you then I will take that onboard and alter my views accordingly

I see you are now moving to you usual modus operandi of trying to make out the other side is pathetic and disingenuous so you can run away from the conversation once you see that people are going to keep pushing you on the detail and facts of the discussion.

Now if you want to run away then thats fine but my ask is simple is simply to show me where you got this story from such that you put so much faith in it and it causes you so much concern

You are clearly not well.

The impeachment wasn't about the dossier, it was about Trump blackmailing a foreign leader to help him with his election. And the case was proven with documented evidence and witness testimony.

The fact that you got this most basic of facts incorrect proves that you don't know what you're talking about.

The false talking point you got mixed up is that the special counsel investigation was about the dossier. It wasn't, but that's the lie you misremembered. Duh.

Does it not disturb you that some people in Texas who support trump want the death penalty for women who have an abortion?

Even you must be appalled at such views.

Like I said you are a liar and a hypocrite, I told you exactly the same when you was turtle.

As for calling anyone trigger boy, you have been triggered for about the last 4 years over something that doesn't concern you and isn't even taking place in this country. The reason you have had some many usernames is you can't go a day without being triggered.

When you say "even me" what does that mean ?

Does it concern me ? Something happening in Texas ? No does it ****

Is it wrong, of course it is, but why would it concern me, what are you doing to change this if it concerns you this much ?

Does it concern you that in some countries gay people are stoned to death ? Even you must be appalled at such views, yet you seem more concerned about Texas than someone being stoned to death

Either way, you're obsessed with linking as much stuff as possible to the Nazi regime.

You really need help, you've been at this for years now.

Let's not forget those other claims, that he wouldn't win the election, wouldn't last a year in office, would be thrown out of office etc.

Also he wouldn't win a 2nd term.... That's gonna be interesting if he does.

It's clearly obvious he can't win by votes alone as Biden is too far ahead in the polls for them to be wrong enough this time (Margin of error).

It's only if he can get enough mail in votes thrown out that he can win.

I only started posting this year a few months ago.

And yes, there's a lot of similarities between Trump's administration and Hitler's. The only real difference is that Trump isn't the true believer that Hitler was.

I would be happy to debate with someone who engages with the opinions and facts presented.

Maybe you can tell me your source for all the information you have given in your first paragraph? Maybe you can tell me why you keep flitting from defending what KCLS did to claiming it is not true? Maybe you can answer my questions that you never answered about how KCLS determined their staff "caucuses"?

I do not "follow" anyone. I'm not on social media unless this counts. I am happy to take my news from a wide variety of sources and I actively look out for opinions of people / organisations I disagree with. It does not matter whether I agree with the provider's opinion. I couldn't give a monkey's chuff what you think of my sources. What matters is whether information is true or not. This came to me via a photo I saw on twitter and I googled it and in this case, KCLS's statement confirmed that it was true, so I posted it as an example of the kind of thing that is happening and I find desperately sad and very much the wrong way to go if we wish to improve race relations.

A debate has to be a two way street DA and I am happy to debate what you tell me. You do that in part, but when you start inventing things about my motives it becomes a waste of time.

That has to be my final word on this particular story. Do your worst. It's bound to get a like from Greenmile :roll:

Fairly sure they predicted a Clinton win a few years ago, they just underestimated her lead etc.

Another tired old fallacy spread by those ignorant of what they actually said, and of what happened.

The polls showed Clinton would win the national vote, which she did.

The forecasts showed Trump had a significant chance to win, which he evidently did.

The one I trust for accuracy, Fivethirtyeight.com, gave him about a 30% chance of winning.

Stop with the "but the polls were wrong" nonsense. You've had 4 years to fact check this and it doesn't take much effort.

Be quiet you arrogant sod.

The polls showed she would win the popular vote, I know that and Trump won the more important college side of it.

I'm aware of all of that, but the point was I'm reference to the polls having Biden way out in front.

Be quiet you arrogant sod.

The polls showed she would win the popular vote, I know that and Trump won the more important college side of it.

I'm aware of all of that, but the point was I'm reference to the polls having Biden way out in front.

They underestimated the uneducated white vote which voted for Trump. Plus there were many undecided votes who switched to Trump.

The polls you now see have more weighting for Trump's vote.

Plus, as one reporter pointed out Trump is campaigning heavily in States he won last time, suggesting Republicans think the current polls are correct

This explains what happened:

Republicans have adjourned the senate until November 9th, so when it comes to filling a supreme court seat with their Christian extremist or helping victims of the Coronavirus feed and house themselves I think we can see what their priority was.

You said the polls were wrong. They weren't. But I'm the arrogant one.

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with the polls, just like there wasn't last time. Last time they had Clinton winning by a few points, and she won by a few points (about a point less than the average of national polling).

This time they have Biden winning by about 9 points. Even if the margin is actually half that after election day he'd still beat trump by about twice the margin Clinton won by, and Trump only converted that to an electoral college win by the skin of his teeth.

Without shenanigans (beyond the usual GOP shenanigans) Trump has very little hope unless the polls turn around, and there's absolutely no sign they will.

But we all know that Trump is massively corrupt so nothing is set in Stone.

What you posted was one persons view, is it a crystal ball or an educated guess, but what you added in terms of the "uneducated white vote" seems to be all you, I checked the article twice to see if he really said that, didn't find it, if it's there then I apologize.

You and your ilk always seem to come up with this absolute drivel (IMO) regarding the uneducated/stupid, who decide the votes that didn't go your way because you are of the superior intelligent group, it's insulting to millions. You need to read your own article, where he is seeing change, it is the exact opposite of your own dig and justification for being wrong so many times, it's the wealthier conservative suburbs that are turning away from Trump that will make the difference.

I have discussed 2016 with many Americans, as far as I can see the main reason Trump won, was so many said they could not Vote for Hilary and therefore, either did not vote or voted for Trump. This is the main difference I see, in that there is not the same depth of feeling against Biden as there was against Hilary and is likely to see a Biden win. 2016 was a mirror of the last GE when people could not vote for Corbyn and his policies, not that the uneducated voted for the Tories.

Additionally, the article is very clear on why the polls are wide now in terms of whom the overwhelming number of people are who are polling today and who are voting right now, he also says he sees it tightening and that Trump still has a chance, at least he is not stupid enough to dismiss Trump based on today's polls, unlike the few uneducated posters here.

Back to the original title "The next American President". I don't really care too much who the next POTUS is, as long as it's not the orange idiot! I've lived in Canada the majority of my adult life and it's important we have a working relationship with whomever is in office. In the past we've always had some disagreements about this, that or the other, but we've usually found a way to sort things out amicably. This lunatic is cut from different cloth. Amongst others things, he slapped a 25% tariff on Canadian aluminium, citing a security risk!!! As for calling Biden and Harris communists......that's really clutching at straws, but for some weird reason his base lap it all up! In his feeble if you don't subscribe to the 'he who dies with the most toys wins' philosophy, therefore you must be a communist.

A pitiful excuse for a leader!

This did an analysis on this as to why the polls were wrong, and yes, it was down to education:

laughable

I can see why the High Income medium educated people would be so stupid when they shifted away from Hilary. Keep clutching at those straws

Trudeau doesn't claim to be a world leader. Canada doesn't claim to be the best country in world, however we do rank way above USA in many annual 'best countries to live' surveys.

I notice the "their politics is none of my business" attitude isn't shared in the American government. They've been all too willing to get involved in the politics of other nations. So I feel entirely at easy getting involved in theirs.

Not to mention their politics does impact me and my country so even if they weren't meddling, the fact that they can allow a disease to run rampant in their country and do nothing to mitigate it, and then let their diseased citizens come to my country means what goes on in their country is very much my business.

Also, sooner or later were gonna be at war with America. Unless we join them in becoming a fascist dictatorship when the right over there find a competent dictator to rally behind. So it's worth keeping an eye on from over here.

You refer to where you live as over here so it is very relevant. Can only assume you live in China if you are expecting to be at war with America

Clinton won....

Well she's been an outstanding president thus far :lol:

She lost, regardless of winning the popular vote she failed where it mattered and that was my point, but you're so effing anal about things you can't seem to allow generalisations.
You'll never change
