      There's still room for improvement. For example - Biden actually dies of old age and after a bruising battle - Kamala takes over.

        Could get better if Trump has to run from prison and then hand over the Presidency to his VP after winning.

        I'm very excited to live through "The Year of Four Presidents"

          his VP

          I wonder who that will be. My money is still on Nikki Haley. Although it would be much better if Trump went goblin mode and chose somebody like Kid Rock.

    “The data does show some bright lights. In the early states, Trump polls at least 10 points below his national numbers,” said Chris Sununu, the Republican governor of New Hampshire and a critic of Mr Trump.

    Man who has 40-50% of the total vote only has 30-40% of the vote in a contest where the next highest guy is lucky to break 15%.

    “Why won’t our Republican friends understand that Trump is a criminal? Once ole donnie is behind bars, surely THAT will break the spell and definitely not drive these reasonable moderate Republicans into an orgiastic suicidal frenzy of destruction? America is like an airplane, it needs two wings, the Democrats and Republicans, to fly!” — libs

      Luckily I took Journalism in high school. "News" is reporting of facts. News articles do not mention accusations, or supposition, or opinions - except reported as a fact, such as "Guiliani stated that people were unfairly attacking him". Not "People are unfairly attacking Guliani", which is opinion. Editorial, opinion, etc. are supposed (in newspapers) to be clearly stated as such. There is a big difference. The problem with Fox "News" is first that it calls itself "news" which is mostly false. Second, I do see some (surprising) actual news, but it's always during low viewership time periods. During any time there is significant viewership, it is nonstop opinion, editorial, etc. - and it is all one-sided. Heck, they've paid hundreds of $millions for outright lying to viewers. They are almost all right wing propaganda.

      Even when they think they're being oppositional, liberals are completely helpless in the face of propaganda, the myths they tell themselves about objectivity leaves them unable to articulate any position that can't be reduced to vague credentialism

        I watched 9/11 while I was in the Marine corps. I knew I was going to be deployed, away from family and friends. Maybe killed or maimed. It was an act of war on our homeland. I watched 1/6 and that was so much worse. It pissed me off so much more. It's our own citizens turning against our government, orchestrated by a traitor who shouldn't have been president, and should've been removed several times during his term. 1/6 was the worst event in modern history. Everyone associated with orchestrating it should be fully punished. Those who support it, I wish they could be punished as well.

    78% percent of how many and where, because that article lists neither. So for all I know it's made up.

    And it's paywalled.

      one faction or another of the American deep state desides to start up a direct war with another nuclear power in order to 911 war on terror all the problems away.

    The thing is, it's not really about Trump or Biden anymore. People on all sides are fed up with the government, lack of representation, wealth disparity, and a whole host of other issues.

    The I just want to watch the world burn vote is a thing, and it could be a reason for the wild fluctuations in polling recently.

    I actually saw a right wing super pack YouTube advertisement recently talking about how "If Trump runs the Biden wins. You wouldn't want that now, would you? Vote for one of the other right wing ass-hats to ensure Biden loses... and America wins"
