Because he did truly awful things.

Change my mind.

Remarkable given that you think Trump will take FL/GA/NC.

Four more days! Four more days!

I couldn't care less if she is elected or not.

It actually does. Progression through a profession that necessitates a level of intelligence and decision making combats any assertion she is an idiot. If we are being literal that is. Not many people are precise these days.

Did you click the link I provided?

Did you read any responses that didn't fit the Trump anti-logic narrative?


Meanwhile Thailand, the country I was in during the start of the pandemic and where everyone wore masks since day 1, has 3800 reported cases.
Pure coincidence I'm sure.

It's not that tough to do a bit of research to learn about her credentials.
You should try it.

Do you enjoy this? Nothing you have said backs up her "credentials" for not being an idiot. You do not have to live somewhere to see how policy and stance can make a person an idiot. I don't know you from anything outside this thread, but I can tell your stance and what you believe is important. It is not hard to form opinions about people from that. Ernst has the backing of the party, but the people of Iowa are not behind her. We will see in a few days.

I think he can be full of himself for sure. I've also seen him show all of us how full of it almost every candidate is (Trump included), and more importantly how full of it the mainstream media is.
In my opinion, for decades we've seen the media, and obviously Democrats, fight tooth and nail against Republicans while Republicans just stood by and accepted it. Trump is the first Republican I know of that thankfully fights back.
They hate it and I love it.

Biden -175
Trump +145

According to the polls Biden should be -500 and Trump should be +425
I think Trump +145 has lot of value in it.

Not yet!

Tuesday by noon; I'll know. But the trends there are all good; Republicans coming out to vote in FL and whites voting in greater % in NC than in '16.

[NeedChapmans]

Biden flying to Minnesota tomorrow.

I swear to God Joe ...

Great point. Vegas odds put it at closer to 64%/36%. Which is, remarkably, about where Nate Silver had Trump on November 8, 2016.

It's very easy to research most politicians and I'm not here to do anyone's work. Living in Iowa gives me an obvious advantage over someone who lives in another state when it come to knowing a bit about the people that represent me.
To me this is a no Brainer. Just as I would be inclined not to opine about a Senator from another state. Granted there are exceptions for ranking members who receive a lot of press time, as one can get more of a feel for them and their idiocy.
I also don't think one can possibly say the people of Iowa are not behind her unless 1) you've ask every single person in Iowa or 2) you wait and see the election results.
To answer your very first question, yes I do enjoy this.

Without being too insensitive ...

There is a beautiful irony in Germans saying some other country's leader is the greatest threat to world peace

[Brobocop]

Crazy how 538 has Texas as close in favor of Trump as Florida is for Biden. Never thought Texas would be remotely in play for 2020.

Gemans have the history to understand which leaders are most detrimental to world peace.

The irony is us not listening.

I don't like kamala harris
It's going to suck seeing so much of her

Wasn't she like 15th in the primaries?

Was just about to say this. Germany would probably understand how tyrants rise to power. Isn't the history of WW 2 pretty integral to their education?

My point was that American democrats view Cuba more favorably than Israel. Dictatorship vs. Democracy.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make and how that relates to mine.

much ado about nothing. we were ranked the greatest threat to world peace under obama as well.

[Astros19]

One could also say the German's don't have the strongest history of picking great leaders.
I suppose it depends on which side you're looking from.
