Are you the guy with the wizard avatar on 22 who is an extra in a lot of things? I can’t remember without an avatar.

Kinda depends man. If D’s run Biden or similar I think the R’s will win the shitsandwich versus douchebag election contest. If the D’s run a progressive then I feel the R’s will really struggle hard because the outrage they have tried to channel is likely to backfire against them. Mostly, this is a really bad day for moderate republicans who don’t want to cosign on this insanity. There are many in very safe districts but the electorate has been turning against them demographically for a while anyway.
That’s mainly why I put the qualifier that it’s election eve polling. Sure, we all think Biden’s terrible and will struggle, but if we know for a fact that he’s polling 10 points up on Trump on election eve, maybe he’s not the shit sandwich we deserve, but he might be the one we need right now. It’s only in that context that the proposed hypothetical is all that interesting to me, because otherwise it’s too easy to convince/delude oneself into thinking that Biden is bigly overrated by current hypothetical h2h polling.
I feel there are too many similarities between HClinton and Biden. For all the things one can say about Trump, he is great at messaging and controlling a dialogue via mudflinging. I don’t see Biden as a strong debater or even strong in front of people, so I don’t think he will be able to do well with being constantly confronted when the general starts. Trump is smart enough to switch mud if whatever is not resonating at any particular moment and Biden’s stay out of the press as much as possible strategy will not work there. Trump’s main appeal in 2016 was ‘draining the swamp’ and the time were the Clintonian’s/Obama’s were in power, which is currently associated with the continuing decline of the middle class (somewhat unfairly in my opinion, this was mostly an R thing but the Ds did no favors for the middle class).
If the Ds run Sanders or Warren then they can be the legitimate change candidates and that is where we need to be. I am hesitant on Warren as she has had a lot of issues defending herself from Trump, but I think the centrists will mostly fall in line behind her and progressives will be on full attack against Trump, so she would fair better than him. Sanders is boring for a ‘communist’ but boring isn’t really a flaw at this point and his agenda/messaging is most appealing to the who are hurt the worst by the current system.
I don’t disagree with any of this, but Hillary closed up 2 points on Trump. If Biden were to close 10 points up on Trump, it would be time to stop worrying about those things.
Pretty clear the “expose the whistleblower” is Trump’s personal plan that he won’t let go of and the one he mentions anytime he talks to these goof balls.
Trump’s 4 year old child chess game is mesmerizing.

Damn, that’s a shame. If only there were some companies capable of distilling down events like today’s into a factual summary easily digested by the general public? Alas,

Trumps supporters will think the anger and loud noises means he is innocent. Just like Kavanaugh.
Ratlip thought he was slick when he asked, ‘So, uh, all I want to know is what day the whistleblower came to the committee. What’s the big deal?’
Yeah, I mean this is literally the media’s job at a time like this. That should probably go in the poor choices thread.

One of them attacked me a couple of days ago.
Thought he was asking for a cigarette. I said no and walked away. I noticed him following me and turned around which is when he got a bit too close for comfort and pushed me backwards. He lacked some kind of coordination because it was a pretty weak push. I didn’t respond in kind because I suspected that he was mentally ill but wasn’t sure.
I backed away and he went the other way. Could hear people saying ‘cikansky idiot’ (gypsy idiot) or things to that effect. Man do Czechs hate gypsies.

I made my first impeachment video tonight. It’s a montage of Devin Nunes’ opening statement. Hopefully you’ll all watch when I post it. There’s some good stuff in it, and it’s a 2 minute watch.
