Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

[moXJO]

Trump enjoys large base loyalty. I can't see it shifting.
Dems have to vote for him to lose.

Easiley 95% of my American colleagues are Trump supporters, and their support has only strengthened in the last few months.

I have no idea whether that means anything in the context of the upcoming election but, in my little professional and economic microcosm, Trump support is growing.

They will easily switch to another Republican, let's see what happens.

I don't think anyone has the profile, to be honest. I've always liked Rand Paul but he just doesn't seem to get the support.

Maybe that means I'm fringe, I don't know. I would like to see either Rand from the right or Tulsi from the left.

I don't really have a challenge with Trump, but have to admit that he is very divisive, that could be a very good thing in the next 4 years, or a very bad thing not sure which.

ETA... I hate autocorrect

A view of the upcoming election from senior UK diplomats.

UK diplomats fear end of special relationship if Trump re-elected
Former senior officials also worry Britain may be sidelined if Joe Biden becomes president

.....In a sign of British diplomats’ despair with Trump, Sir Peter Westmacott, a former ambassador to Washington, said: “I would love to say, as we look to the future, would it not be nice to see political leadership also addressing old-fashioned principles such as accountability, respect for the rule of law, independent judiciary, telling the truth, institutional independence and indeed the importance of a free press?

“That may not be what public opinion is crying out for, but they are not very far removed from the principles that … Biden believes in. Otherwise the chances of the western world retaining any sort of moral leadership and giving itself the right to call out other people when they behave badly will be gone forever.”

Who'd a thought trump was the progressive. Y'all wanted real change and Trumps the first in decades to deliver. Completely smashed the worlds systems.

Indeed he has..
Hitler had a similar impact as did Stalin
First World War was also very effective at smashing theworlds systems.
Attila the Hun was quite impressive.
The Black Death also managed to deliver remarkable changes.

Trump in is stellar company indeed..

Progression is in the eye of the beholder.

#metoo was under trumps reign and a whole heap of democrats went under. Epstein was even liquidated. Now that's progressive!

And a Fox executive. Overall I don't think there has been much progress in the USA for over twenty years. In fact they have gone backwards in many things as they are not adjusting to the new world due to political gridlock.

First comment says it all:

Hillary had better numbers than Biden right before the election and then Democrats didn’t bother to vote and were also suppressed. It is important to track these things - yes - but Democrat voters are flaky and have lower turnout and likely Democrat voters don’t register or vote by the millions. There is a lot of “someone else will take care of it - I’m too busy attitudes”. Republicans are older and whiter and more likely to vote. The best thing Biden can do is hide and let Trump defeat himself. No one should be confident about the Democrat voter base. They’ll take a survey and go to a protest and then won’t vote.

Not only is Biden and his son corrupt, but so is his brother.
Charming family.

Off Trump for the moment.
An interview with retired US General John Allen (former commander of the NATO International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces – Afghanistan (USFOR-A). Discusses leadership and his perspective on where the US is heading.

Ah.. The Guardian

THE GUARDIAN is facing calls to “shut down” for hypocrisy after backing BLM protests when it branded Abraham Lincoln “abhorrent” in the US Civil War.

Originally called the Manchester Guardian, the paper was founded in 1821 by John Edward Taylor using profits from a cotton plantation that used slaves.

Ha ha ha ha the left eating the left (you can't make it up).

The Democrats were the party of the KKK and defended slavery, back in the day. Why aren't these social justice warriors demanding that the Democrat Party be disbanded, as it is symbolic of the KKK and slavery?

Perhaps because they are not as totally brain dead as people who make such calls ?
