Biden leads by 'landslide proportions'

Previous to Friday’s release, his accusers had alleged more than 20 school officials and staff members, including two athletic directors and a coach who is now a congressman -- Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan -- were aware of concerns about Strauss but didn’t stop him. Most of those claims are part of two related lawsuits against Ohio State that are headed to mediation .

Rep. Jordan and other coaches are not mentioned by name in the report.

The university has said the law firm’s work included determining what Ohio State and its leaders knew during Strauss’ tenure.

There is a reason Jordan's name was not mentioned in the court proceedings against the accused criminals. There is also a reason crooked democrats are falsely accusing Jordan of something he did not do.

Typical corrupt democrat methods of crookedly slandering and persecuting republicans for unjust democrat advantage.

that's your claim. Can you provide any credible, verifiable 'facts' to prove your positive claim actually holds one drop of water ?
 
Washington Post
A comprehensive investigation of voter impersonation finds 31 credible incidents out of one billion ballots cast
voter impersonation studies from www.washingtonpost.com
Aug 6, 2014 · Voter impersonation is a dumb way to steal an election, which is why it rarely happens

Democrat version of "comprehensive investigation of voter impression:" Ask all democrat precinct chairmen to voluntarily submit their findings related to voter fraud occurrences in their precincts.
 
If registration records in our national voter file are never wrongly marked as having been
used to vote, we estimate that about 1 in 4,000 votes cast in 2012 were double votes. But
inaccurate marking of vote records would cause this estimate to overstate the number of true
double votes. In fact, a 1.3% clerical error rate would be sufficient to explain all of these
apparent double votes. Unfortunately, no data exist to make a definitive statement about
the error rate nationwide. However, a comparison we make of vote records in a poll book
to vote records in a voter file supports the idea of enough measurement error to explain at
least some, and potentially nearly all, of the apparent double votes.

Democrats have investigated rumors of voter fraud in democrat precincts and have found no fraud of any significance.

I think indies would prefer Trump over Biden. The economy is doing fine, and the last sitting POTUS to lose releection was Bush 1 because of it. When it comes to personality, its the Orange Nut versus the Creepy Uncle, so it looks like a tie to me in that category.


Don't underestimate the creep. He is loved by many and is considered quite a lover by many.
 
And so to many people so was Hillary. And after nearly 3 years the left still doesn't get it.

You still need someone who can beat Cheeto. I don't see any among the current crop.

I think most of them would beat trump.

The country wants him out.
 
Democrats have found no democrat voter fraud in any of their precincts. No kidding.

Republics have found virtually no voter fraud anywhere, while Republics have denied millions of Americans their right to vote to steal elections. Since you can't learn the word "Democratic", you can get "Republics".
 
Trump’s real political problem is self-identified independents and voters who don’t love him or hate him. In the 2018 midterms, independents broke heavily for the Democrats in U.S. House elections (+12), as did voters who “somewhat” disapproved of the president (+29), according to exit polls. In this Quinnipiac survey, all the Democratic candidates had double digit leads over Trump among independents, and those are the numbers that should worry the president and his political team.

Head to head polls this far out don't mean all that much. Trends do however and the trend among independents in both Trump's job approval and his favorable's has steadily declined since he first took office. Trump hasn't tried to enlarge his base one bit. He plays to his base and ignores everyone and everything else.

I don't thing worrying about these poll numbers will do Trump or his team any good. We have a very good economy and we had that good economy back in November of 2018. Yet independent deserted Trump and the GOP for the democratic House candidates. Can Trump win them back? He may be able to win some back depending on whom the democrats nominate. I don't think Trump can win them this time around. Trump also isn't going to run against Hillary Clinton either. Hillary was the one independents really disliked, she won't be on the ballot in 2020.
 
Sort of like when dick and jr. Left office

Mickey Mouse could have beaten any Republican

Those fools took a balanced federal budget to trillion dollar deficits in there term. Spent wildly in lives and treasure in their folly in Iraq. Destabilized the entire middle east. Should i go on?

Now we have the greatest embarrassment of.a president in my lifetime. Running trillion dollar.deficits in a so called.great economy just to give tax cuts to corporations and the rich.

When will these deplorables see the light. Republicans never do anything that will help them. They just feed your hatred, bigotry and fear and because of this you continue to vote for them.
 
Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked an Indiana law barring abortions based on a fetus' sex, race or disability, while allowing a separate state measure requiring fetal remains to be buried or cremated to take effect.

The justices declined to review a lower court's decision overturning a law restricting when and why an abortion could be performed. Vice President Mike Pence signed the measure into law in 2016 when he was Indiana governor, and it was blocked by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals last year

Men of questionable judgment and understanding continue to debate the issue of abortion. Abortion involves the killing of a living developing unborn human baby. There is no reason to join activists wishing to avoid that fact for evil propagandist purposes.

Thete is no debate. Abortion is legal and will remain so

Trump lost again
 
"The FBI director is wrong," Trump said. He added, "Life doesn't work like that."
 


The election is still 17 months away, but things are very much looking up for Joe Biden and a handful of other Democrat candidates at this early juncture.

Even with the current strong economy, Trump is lagging significantly nationally. Biden is even beating Trump in red state Texas.


I still have Trump in the 45-50% range for winning re-election. The current state of polls means absolutely nothing to me.

PROS
High approval ratings among Republican voters
Strong/Positive Economy

CONS
Unpopularity
The Democrats hold the advantage when it comes to health-care

To dig deeper here, Presidents/incumbents generally win re-election with high support among their base. When you see a legitimate third party candidate emerging or a serious primary contender, the incumbent/President loses. Just look at George H.W Bush in 1992. When he broke his promise about no new taxes, he alienated his base and gave rise to Ross Perot. With Trump, he seems to be doing everything to please his base, besides promising that Mexico will pay for his wall. We will see if Bill Weld is an actual challenger for Trump. So far Weld is getting no more than 15% in the polls.

On the economic front, things are looking pretty good: Stock market up, GDP has skyrocketed since Trump took office, unemployment rate is at historic lows, poverty is declining, and the average American worker has experience their first pay raise this century. We can debate all day about who's responsible for the positive economic numbers, but at the end of the day, Trump will get credit for it. Historically, we do not change Presidents during a positive economic time period.

Both these elements work in favor of the President, and makes an easy favorite to win re-election.

But on the other hand, there's a lot of evidence to show he's a one-and-done type of President.

For starters, he's wildly unpopular. His approving ratings are in the 42-45% range, and his disapproval ratings are between 52 to 55%. We are basically talking about somebody who is registering at Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford numbers. In Trump's 2.5 years as President, he's never really went above 45% in the approval side on average, and never been under 50% on the disapproval side on average. That's how bad he is doing. It just so happens in 2016, he was up against a wildly unpopular opponent and banked off the fact that Clinton took the rust belt states for granted and paid little-to-no-attention. As a result, Trump just barely squeaked by in those states. If Clinton won Wisconsin, Michigan, and Penn, she would be President right now.

The second big negative for Trump is health-care. The GOP has yet to put forth a health-care people actually like. Public support for a public option or Medicare-For-All system is extremely high. Even half of Republicans support it. If the Democrats run on the platform of we can fix health-care and improve on ACA, it is going to be a winning issue.
