2020 US General Election Thread VIII: Cs, Ds, and Es

[Washington Resistance Army]

It amuses me to no end that the Cuban population in Florida actually thinks anyone in DC gives a shit about overthrowing the Cuban regime now. Like, that hasn't been a serious topic in decades.

[United States of Devonta]

They don’t just support him, they literally worship him. All because they think he will lead a crusade and overthrow the Cuban regime. And not just the old ones, the younger generation too, it’s bizarre being in Miami now…

Tbf Trump is more likely to lead a crusade and overthrow the Cuban regime than Biden

I wonder how well Batista would poll among Anti-Castro Cubans? What Iv'e been told is Cuban's just like strongman. It really just depends which ones.

I don't think so. Trump is certainly more likely to say he's going to lead a crusade to overthrow the Cuban regime, but the odds of him following up on that in any substantial way are slim at best. He might try to get Eric Price to arrange a second Bay of Pigs.

Tbf no one said it was based on logic. Many of these people are Trump supporters to a very unhealthy level. Almost complete worship.

There was one about a few months ago; but in Venezuela.

[Northern Davincia]

There was no need to wait for Trump's policies, the market jumped at the prospect of him becoming president. The hype was beneficial.

Well, that was a response that had nothing to do with what we were talking about.

It does, actually. The market did not need to wait for Trump's policies to take effect in order to lower the unemployment rate, because they were expecting a pro-business administration.

The trend line doesn't lie.

It does not lie, but it can be misleading.

[Nobel Hobos 2]

The talking point of "black" unemployment isn't particularly outstanding.

Black unemployment in the peak year (2010) was 84% higher than white unemployment.
Black unemployment last year (2019) was 85% higher than white unemployment. Statista

It looks from ^that chart, that it was Latino unemployment which reduced most.

Very thoroughly shambolic, from what I've heard.

Not really how it works and in no way addresses the initial point...actually, undermines the idea that Trump isn't racist because he improved black unemployment. By your new logic, it's just a side effect. So good job undermining your confrere's argument. We're good now.

[Jerzylvania]

A majority of voters don’t see Trump and Biden as mentally fit to be President across six Battleground States. Those States were Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

51% said Trump was mentally unfit to 49% saying he was while 52% said Biden was mentally unfit to 48% saying he was fit, showing voters equally view both candidates as unfit mentally.

However, physically, it's a different story: 52% said Trump is physically fit while 54% said the same thing of Biden.

From the national poll, 55% said Trump was mentally unfit, while 45% said he was fit. Biden was deemed unfit by 52% and fit by 48%.

And how many of these people in these states are mentally or physically fit themselves? I have to laugh.

*coughs*

Uh oh.

Hey man! The embargoes will work. It’s only been 60 years and 4 years since Fidel passed away. They will surrender any day now!

How long do they have to wait? Until the next Demo President comes in and fixes things?

The “cut cut cut” bill was promised to do amazing things. I did get cut from the company and the company used that new money to do a stock buy back.

The trend line doesn't lie.

It does not lie, but it can be misleading.

Maybe the stock buy backs created a false bubble of prosperty.

So apparently Trump spilled nuclear Secrets to Bob Woodward during a late night phone call on Trumps personal phone, a phone which he refused to let the White House monitor.

So basically not only is he an idiot he’s also leaking state secrets

Tell me that's on tape. This might be something leaked throughout the rest of the election.

Not exactly. He just said that we’ve created a weapon that our enemies don’t know about. Apparently such a thing does exist but it’s existence was highly classified.

Fake news, lies by the lamestream media, an attempt by Dems to discredit Trump, where is Biden etc etc. I mean, I won't waste my time thinking this will hurt him, when that hackneyed response still works on all the absurdly gullible people out there.

Isn't Woodard taking a risk just saying that? And what's he supposed to do if he has secret stuff forced on him ... just forgetting it isn't an option.

I worry that Trump might have set him up.

Trump is too much of a fucking idiot to set anyone up

While I don't condone leaking state secrets the President can declassify anything they want at anytime.

You think that works? Retroactively?

To a reporter out of the blue. Ehh that's kinda dumb. Usually theirs a procedure that happens.

It is extremely easy to believe that Trump, having been briefed on the development of some new and secret weapon, would not be able to resist bragging.

what do you mean retroactively? The President can declassify anything they want. Once its declassified i don't think one could be charged with a crime after leaving office.
