Man Ohio getting lots of attention. Someone from Trump or Biden team been here everyday last 2 weeks. Internal polling must be showing bad for Trump. Trump in Ohio more than Michigan.

.

I believe that the republican platform and Donald J. Trump, our President, is the best option that we have as a candidate right now.

Joe Biden continues to show that he doesn't have a good feel for politics and/or is mentally inept. Saying shutting down fracking should have been on the no-no list for him and was a big mistake. It shows blue collar workers that he doesn't care about them and also he doesn't care about the economic growth of America.

we cannot afford to have a President who makes such elementary mistakes.

I don't think for Trump the leverage is all about Biden saying he intends to shut down the oil industry. It is more about other announcements he has that he just says at a whim that the party then has to go in damage control to save their image with the voters as Biden being someone more measured and considered in things he decides and says compared to the image they are portraying of Trump.

Fracking isn't good and isn't popular.

It's a nice speech. It loses some oomph when we consider that Trump is a criminal, and one that has used the office of the presidency to commit crimes.

Fracking isn't good and isn't popular for those that don't see a future for the oil industry.

I'm against fracking but its not going anywhere. About 40% of the power generated this year was from cheap natural gas and that comes from fracking. I believe a few people may heat their homes with it as well. Biden was just trying to appease the enviros in the primary and now has backed off. I'd put chemical fertilizers/herbicides/pesticides/factory farming higher up on pollution than fracking but that never comes up.

I like solar but its just not quite there yet. Geo thermal is cool but only works in certain spots. Wind/hydro the same.

The Pebble Nuclear Reactors that can't meltdown might be the future eventually but they have their own problems as well.

I vehemently disagree with all of this.

Eventually we will switch to renewable energy, it isn’t going to happen overnight. You guys are still living in the past where you think Coal and other fossil fuels are critical long term. The price of wind and solar has come down tremendously. As others have stated, I doubt people are switching their votes if they worked in oil or coal, those industries are normally very red.

There is a ton of blue collar work to be had in renewables. Again, this isn’t happening over night. Also a lot of the comments for Biden were taken out of context.

To the other point, should we be showing all of Trumps contradictions? Dude is just a walking contradiction and hypocrite and liar of the worst kind. I’m not saying Biden doesn’t display some of these but nowhere near the level of Trump.

Perfect illustration of how poorly educated Trump voters are. He talks about "elementary mistakes" and the dangers of being "mentally inept" or "not having a good feel for politics" in the same post where he professes support for...Donald Trump. Not a single one of these people who write posts like this - nohands, bundy, joe when he was around - are remotely informed about American politics.

Yeah, probably stuff they wanted to put in TV spots but don't have the money. He started his re-election fund the day he was sworn in and is broke now when they need it most lol. Trump style.

Guys, guys, I'm worried the guy who voted for Laura Loomer might be "mentally inept"! How could anyone admitting to this possibly have a "good feel for politics"?!?

Me and the wife love our hybrid. We wouldn't want to be forced to go all electric. Many people not just Trump supporters prefer gas powered vehicles over hybrids or all electric. People get used to things a certain way and are resistant to change. Nobody likes big government forcing the change on them

And then we won't have a world worth living in in 50 years. But yeah, lets be selfish because you like your cars loud and powerful.

Government forces change all the time and it is rarely popular, doesn't mean it isn't often a good idea.

When the car was new and governments started adapting infrastructure to suit it, the transport industry was in uproar and fronted enormous campaigns to stop the adaption of the automobile since they were convinced it would mean the end of their industry.

wouldn't it be smart for Biden to be pointing this out then? with all of the things that Trump it was a part of it seems like Biden would have more on Trump than the other way around.

it seems to me that Trump is willing to go to levels to Biden isn't in order to win. And Biden isn't willing to fight fire with fire and play offense for whatever reason. Maybe he doesn't want to jump in the pit with the jackal and a play Donald Trumps game given his lead which would make some sense.

Well a democratically elected government should rarely be doing that and don't get confused that just because 48% of the people don't like it don't think it isn't popular enough to get through especially if the government that won with that 52% had made it clear that change was on the cards if elected.

the goal for both candidates is to WIN the election by securing the most votes. Not to accurately forecast the longevity of fossil fuels when it has a negative impact on your ability to WIN.

So nohands is joey6’s new handle right?

The most frustrating thing about trump is his complete unwillingness to even pretend to be a leader. He had enough of a mandate within his base if that from the outset he said to wear masks they woulda done it and we’d be in much better shape

Instead he’s a conman with zero substance so he just follows his followers and amplifies their bullshit as his official position because he’s so unfit for the job he’d just rather parrot the talking points they want to hear rather than lead and dictate hard truths to them

He is so spectacularly unfit to be a McDonald’s manager much less lead a country

Has he aged the least noticeable during a 4 year tenure?

I imagine that has to do with not caring / stressing over the issues that other presidents actually care about. All he stresses about are his ratings and perceived perception.

He is easily the laziest human being to ever be president

I don't claim to know anything about politics, just calling it like I see it.

I would assume that a smart politics expert would provide some content and not just point and tell people how dumb they are. I think you've told me that a few times already.

so let's say Biden is the opposite of what I said....makes no mistakes, is very smart, and has a great feel for politics. What is his reasoning behind saying he would want to ban fracking and how does that help his election chances?

I don't think he has gone about being president much different to how he has ran his business. At the end of the day I don't think we will see another President that has come from such a no politics background as Trump.

He said he’d want to ban fracking on federal land. Eventually they will need to phase fracking out but that isn’t happening tomorrow. To most people fracking isn’t great especially if it’s in their backyard or water source. How many people work directly in this industry that this would really piss off?
