Dave:I I only engage with you because of a couple lucid posts you made in this thread, to wit, the common sense observation that we desperately need a MODERATE third party now more than ever. Because the two party system that worked so well for many decades has atrophied because of both parties moving to extremes leaving the moderate majority to pick between two less than appealing choices. As the Pope said yesterday, you must pick the lesser of two evils..
I'm a GDI from day one. But also a proud never trumper. Because I've studied the Constitution for 40 years. Got the Am Jur award in Con law in 1986! Not just talking out my ass here like most. A second Trump term would be the death blow to our system of government. This is not liberal fearmongering, this is a statement of FACT from a constitutional law expert for 4 decades.
Until the debate, I've never been impressed by Kamala dating back to when we attended law school together (I was two hears ahead and much ahead in class rank). But on Tuesday she was BRILLIANT! She is an excellent prosecutor, and Trump an easy defendant to convict. Only true believers can deny that was a shutout, a no hitter were it baseball. So now its ABC's fault as the fascist propaganda machine churned out the "3 on 1" headline within hours after they were humiliated, no other word for it. The rebuttal of the claims that babies are killed or pets eaten was devastating to Trump's modicum of credibility.
Just as he continues to deny losing the election four years ago, he now denies losing the debate.
And then there is Laura looper oh thank you Jesus. So in the same week we have Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala the Donald has a new and growing scandal, to wit, his new best buddy 9/11 denier, parkland denier, absolute wingnut bimbo. As Maher said, if Marjorie taylor greene is too intellectual for you there's now Laura LOL
So Trump's campaign is in a death spiral this week just as Kamala's star is shining brighter than ever. Maher (and others including frank Luntz the REPUBLICAN's top pollster) agree its over and the debate debacle was the clincher. Google it. Fox might kill the story like the Natonal Enquirer did about the various affairs eg Karen McDougall and Stormy Daniels).
Still 7 weeks is an ETERNITY in politics.
The Beyonce endorsement is coming soon, Trump will get Kid Rock's endorsement and Ted Nugents, but their follower numbers aint up there with Beyonce and Taylor). The tyrant is in DEEP trouble, but not dead yet. The Russian hackers have not yet released kamal;a's emails.
Do I think Kamala will be a great POTUS? HELLO NO!!!!!!
Did I think Sleepy Joe would be good when I voted for him in 2020? HELL NO. I wanted Amy Kloubacar.
But the CONSTITUTIONAL form of government created by the founders REQUIRES that the rules be followed, and the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution prevents the best result (a 5th term for Barack the Great starting in January) .
Kamala is the ONLY alternative to Russian style totalitarianism with a dictator now protected by a Supreme Court decision giving UNQUALIFIED IMMUNITY for all criminal acts committed by the Felon (the sexual assault conviction is not related to official executive department business and predated his time in office and thus not immunized. ) The fact that the Cheneys are voting against Trump should tell you something Dave.
Get a grip man! Even your state of North Carolina, tobacco country, now looks likely to go against Trump. Abandon the sinking ship man.
