Democrats " do you have any actual evidence? "
Republicans "well, er. yes......."
Democrats " what ?"
Republicans "er.............."
We're waiting and waiting and waiting...
Biden isn't selling Christmas wrapping paper covered in pictures of his own mugshot ffs!
🤣

Republicans "Yes, we have Hunter Biden's laptop. References to 'Ten percent to the big guy.' A coordinated attempt to deny the validity of the laptop, even though they knew it was real. Strange transfers of cash to the president's account. The list goes on and on."
Not got a lot of time for Biden.
But I have even less for Trump.
What you gonna do?

Hope that both parties nominate better candidates? That would be a nice start.

The whole system needs to change.
It shouldn't require millions upon millions of dollars to run for office.
Quote: DaButt @ 13th December 2023, 3:27 PMHuh? I'm not sure that Biden has done anything successfully during his presidency. He doesn't seem capable of climbing a flight of stairs or stringing a coherent sentence together during his increasingly rare public appearances...
Fair point, but his unifying approach got him elected, and for reasons I can't fathom, he's running again. I'm guessing he's the least dishonourable candidate they can find, you need to be bullet proof going up against Trump. That's success of a kind. We just want Labour to get elected, if Starmer can't climbs stairs, I can live with that. But he looks bullet proof (so far).

Political spending in the 2020 election totaled $14.4 billion.

I didn't dare say 'billions' - in case I was mistaken.
It's f**king insane.

We all know that he got elected because he wasn't Donald Trump, and the media did their part by covering for him at every turn. Once he's dead and gone, I'm sure the stories about that subject will sell a lot of books.
I sincerely doubt that he'll be the Dems' candidate in November. He'll step down "for medical reasons" and claim the honor of creating the first female president, or his own party will throw him under the bus. The guy is unelectable in 2024, and everyone knows it.

I agree.
Republicans have a big problem with abortion in that their extreme stance and desire for the government to interfere in women's bodies turns off a lot of voters.

What is the American press saying about Trump's chances ? And the opinion polls ?

Not the voters who think Donald Trump is actually the second coming of Christ
They love it

I don't pay much attention to either, but most recent polls show Trump ahead. The crazies who poll below them are equally bad, and I have no faith in either party presenting us with a good choice.
Ah yes RFK Jr.....
In his particular case, the 'Kennedy curse' effected him by making him completely insane
