ah yes, the tan suit, the mom jeans, and the bike helmet. Not to mention the audacity of his wife to go sleeveless!!! <<clutches pearls>>But its perfectly fine for Trumps wife to pose completely naked for porn sites. that's different. She's classy. As far as I can tell, I think that's code for white, but I'm not sure. The only explanation I've heard is that "she's a model," "she's classy," and "she's beautiful." She is a very beautiful woman, and better looking than Michelle Obama, but I don't really get the "classy" part. As far as I can tell, Michelle has always conducted herself appropriately and with class and dignity.

But its perfectly fine for Trumps wife to pose completely naked for porn sites. that's different. She's classy. ... With a classy husband: The comments were made during a Friday press conference at the White House, where Trump had been commenting on the number of people who would die from COVID-19. 'The models show hundreds of thousands of people are going to die and you know what I want to do? I want to come way under the model,' he said. 'The professionals did the models and I was never involved in a model. At least this kind of a model.' link

You dedicated Dems have to realize the only reason Biden is being allowed to run is because the Dems know they cannot beat Trump. Time will tell. Allowed? What crap BS u spout...why wast our time with your.... You are correct in one point...time will tell....normally if it WAS JUST #'S involved I would go out on a limb and say it will be, IMHO, a slame dunk for Biden as a winner, but because of the reality of how a election for POTUS is counted...asking me to predict how voters in the Dakotas, Wyoming and such going to vote..thus how the electoral vote will turn out...I haven't a clue so will stay with my feeling it's tough to defeat incumbent's...even though I can't understand how anyone in their right mind would want the Donald as their leader for the next four years...

I do think Michelle is attractive, but not Melania gorgeous. But that's OK, she also has a law degree from an Ivy League University and impeccable professional credentials. Looks aren't everything.

I wonder why the trend seems to be that Trump supporters are so damn sure he'll win in November, and have no trouble proclaiming such, despite nearly all of the current numbers saying otherwise? On the other hand, anti-Trumpers are at best cautiously optimistic while more than a bit worried, even with the numbers in their favor. Personally, I chalk it up to a form of Dunning-Kreuger effect, but for confidence. their confidence reminds me very much of Clinton's. odd that they can't see that.

For this anti Donald guy..realization that to defeat a political incumbent, any kind is a hard chore..A POTUS especially so Which is kind of sad, really. Personally I think only above average presidents should get a second term. Now it's pretty much the default. and this is the ONLY reason he has a shot.

I have no idea what you are saying, here- but over 100 people ran for president in 2016.
you are only DISALLOWED to run if you are under 35 and not a US citizen.
I think you were looking for a different word other than "allowed".
have you considered our wager? $500 of easy money for you.

No, "allowed" is correct. The dems would run some good if they had anyone.

I think the word you are looking for is "nominated".
about that bet?

no idea about melania. Her english is not very good, but reportedly, she speaks several languages, so she may be very articulate in her native language. Props to her for coming to another country and learning the language. During the campaign, it was stated that she has a Bachelors in Architecture. That was a lie, she went to college for one year. I take the claim that she speaks several languages with a grain of salt too.

I can't get over the generic plastic surgery look of Melania. I know she was beautiful was she was young. And I'm sure she is beautiful now, but to me, she just looks like every other over pulled woman.

it is the job of everyone with a libertarian bone in their body to seek out illegitimate authority and oppose it.
I will leave it to the logical to draw the correct conclusion.

No, "allowed" is correct. The dems would run some good if they had anyone. At this time, to my knowledge, neither party ever "runs" a candidate. Candidates run often with money from various power brokers/rich folk and they generally decide when a campaign ends not the candidate.

the GOP was against him as a candidate. if it were a matter or "permission", he didn't have it from Republicans. I think the same would be said of Sanders. the Democratic establishment didn't approve of him. but he was able to run, and was for a while the presumed nominee.
parties can't do much to stop QUALFIED people from running. and, like him or not, Biden and Trump are QUALIFIED to run.

Someone might be lacking knowledge on the civics of the primary/delegate system just as they are lacking knowledge that robins aren’t blue.

I think I might have it. Any Democrat will lose no matter how good they are so they want to save the better choices so that they aren't labeled as a "loser" in this hopeless 2020 election.
