www.wsj.com/articles/voters-choice-growth-or-stagnation-11594228240?mod=opinion_lead_pos5But facts are stubborn things. Under Mr. Obama’s policies of tax, spend and regulate, real per capita income was up by only 5.6% and job growth was up only 5% some nine years after the start of the 2007-09 recession. Compare that with 21% income growth and 18% job growth under President Clinton nine years after the start of the 1990-91 recession, or 24% income growth and 20% job growth under President Reagan nine years after the start of the 1981-82 recession. Real median weekly wages have risen six times as much in three years under Mr. Trump’s policies as they did in eight years under Mr. Obama’s policies. Labor-force participation has risen by 1.1% under Mr. Trump while it fell by an astounding 4.6% under Mr. Obama. In the first three years of the Trump administration, total employment was up 4.7% and real median household income was up $4,384, to an all-time high. Who benefited most? The groups Democrats claim to represent: blacks, Hispanics, single women, Native Americans, high-school dropouts, the disabled and those with criminal records. Each of those groups enjoyed the lowest unemployment rates on record. Blacks and Hispanics had the lowest incidence of poverty ever recorded.

They tell me I'm a worthless deplorable AND a cheapskate ... so I can't read it.

Before Wuvirus, I gave DJT an 80% chance of winning.
Now it is anyone's guess.
The idea of the leader of the Free World being someone with a few neurones missing is bad.
I think Taiwan will be in real strife a very short time later.

Sure, it was her team that screwed it up lol lol
She had negative likability numbers. And, she trusted her own fraudulent polls. Something like breathing your own ether.

Trump consistently outperforms the polls. I would estimate there is a four to six point bias against the President in most of the polls. With that being said President Trump needs to win Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania to have a good shot. No (realistic) scenario is possible without Florida. According to Real Clear Politics he is down between 2-6 points in each of these states. Which means in reality it is a dead heat. www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/fl/florida_trump_vs_biden-6841.html

It is possible. But the people doing the choice are very aware that IF Biden were to win the election, then the VP they choose is likely to be the President within 6 months by exercising the 25th Amendment
