I may be wrong but I don't recall an incumbent President's campaign feeling the need to run so many TV ads over a year before the election. It just smells like fear to me that they have to pump up his alleged accomplishments at this point. I guess that's what polling numbers in the toilet does to you.

My month old puppy could beat Biden.

So Trump would be a "threat to democracy" by being elected?! The Democrats have been running this "threat to democracy" business in virtually every purple state, largely with an illusory voter access threat, to keep black voters alarmed. ("Jim Crow 2.0") January 6th was a disgrace but it was a riot, not an insurrection and if you can't tell the difference, you haven't looked at the law, much less common sense.

As I have repeatedly said, Trump is far from my first choice but I see what Biden is doing to the country on policy grounds (to say nothing of his possible/probable corruption and increasing infirmity) to be infinitely worse. And I say this as a conservative who wants literally any Republican to win the nomination more than Trump.

Blair, I think that we are talking past one another. You will hear little defense from me regarding disgraceful Trump’s conduct after the election. I have my doubts as to whether any of these charges will actually stick but if they do, then I’ll deal with it. Also, remember that your side has been calling this guy a “threat to democracy” since before he was elected and I have heard no apology about the Russia hoax or the bogus Ukraine phone call impeachment. (Nor a peep about President Biden’s/Biden family checkered conduct as well.)

So for me, it comes down to who I trust more to run the country. A classic lesser of evils to be sure, but as a conservative, I can’t imagine anything worse than four more years with this crowd, (to say nothing of Biden’s fitness for office and Kamala waiting in the wings.) So we will agree to disagree my friend and pray for a different outcome than what seems to be coming.

I recently heard Lawton Sacks speak on Voting and the Paper Ballot is the best way for Democrats to cheat the system. Every year Democrats lie and say Republicans are keeping them from voting. I personally don’t believe Democrat voters are that stupid. Of course if you believe in Climate Change then you also believe in the Easter Bunny 🐰.

Dominon Voting Machines are not connected to the internet. The only time the internet is involved is when the votes are tallied.The election official takes the SD card which has

code of letters and numbers and calls the Secretary of State office and reads this data to them and if it’s correct then the votes are uploaded to that office. Those who haven’t voted because of fear of a machine are throwing these elections to Democrats.

Those who prefer paper ballots are

creating the potential for cheating.

Georgia has never been purple.

My personal take on DJT is that his superfans are in love with pre-COVID Trump. In fact, this is a guy I could still get behind; his policies pleasantly shocked conservatives, we were energy independent, the economy was booming, minorities were reportedly doing much better, industry was returning to the US, etc., etc. But with COVID came Fauci, animus towards "open for business" governors like Kemp and DeSantis, waffling on school closings, waffling on masks, etc. If you compare Trump today to pre-COVID Trump, he's not the same man. Now, he literally drops his panties for any cause he thinks might gain him votes while shaming those with REAL values and the cajones to stand by them. He's literally no different than every other politician you hate, and for the same reasons...he will do ANYTHING to get reelected.

I am backing DeSantis and will gladly vote for any other Republican instead of Trump. But your equivalency argument loses me: there is no comparison between the damage the left will continue to wreak and a Republican administration. Even Trump.

"Biden’s consistent advantage has evaporated amid growing concerns about his age and fitness for another term " Curious they don't mention bribery or money laundering, Hunter, family business dealings, etc ... Hmmm, I'm positive those would be important if it was Trump instead of Biden, well, #$(@*& they just made stuff up and ran with it.

I think anyone nominated by the Republicans will be labeled a threat to democracy. As long as progressives control the narrative they will push fear, intolerance, and hate.

We must win this election to begin changing the issues related to energy, border control, and education. If Trump wins He will need a strong VP because , like Biden, he may not be able to finish “the drill”( sorry for the sports analogy)!

All of this makes me grieve for my country. We have fallen so very far. The only positive I see is maybe it really does mean Christ is coming soon.

Debra, I feel that it will be VERY soon as we already have many things that tell us about His coming that are happening today. Your generation may be the one and if not, it will be your children's generation that will see the signing of the seven year peace treaty. There will be some tough times that we will go through, but we are now experiencing them and more to come. Blessing to you and your family

This country has turned into, I don’t like my candidate or what he is doing to our country but I hate the other candidate more. Please, I’m not calling anyone a deplorable but I can’t for the life of me understand what anyone sees in Biden or Trump. Could someone please enlighten me? Are my only choices country wide destruction or chaos and revenge?

I don't know. I never liked Trump and was actually surprised that he did have some good policies. But there are people who would have as good or better policies without the obnoxious personality. The rabid TDS from the left keeps the die hard Trump supporters firmly fixed on voting for him, and to make it worse, the people on our side who keep vilifying both Trump and his supporters further make them dig in their heels.

I think a super pac should form to advertise “dump them both”

Americans should come together and not nominate either of these nursing home candidates.

I wouldn’t care if it was Harris newsome or Christi or Nikki

Just make these two geriatric cases go away.

Would say your right. Except for 2022. And except for mail in ballots.

If it’s easier for dems to vote. Then Biden has an advantage.

Also there is a block of independent and republican voters who will never vote for trump because it’s trump.

Take all that and trump loses every time.

If trump is the nominee he will lose the general election. Everything in the ability and power should be out forth to stop him from running or beating him in the primary.

This includes dropping the candidate field to 2 or 3 candidates against trump.

If they wait till after south carolina or longer. It’s all over.

I am no fan of Trump but find the illiberal/illegal actions by this White House (student loans, open borders, EV mandates, unions, ad infinitum) coupled with a hugely out of control administrative state to be much more troubling than even Trump.

We are the proverbial frog being boiled slowly with this crowd in charge.

I don't know about MORE troubling, but at least equally so. And Biden has less indictments now, but will that remain true a year from now? I certainly hope not! To quote Linda Gray below, what does ANYONE see in either Biden or Trump?
