You are correct. Putin is silent majority.

The ads didn’t cost very much. The Russians spent more than 95 million rubles — an amount that at current exchange rates is equal to about $95,000. The month with the most spending, according to our analysis, was October 2016, the month before the election.

Russian information troll farm the Internet Research Agency spent just 0.05 percent as much on Facebook ads as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump’s campaigns combined in the run-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, yet still reached a massive audience. While there might have been other Russian disinformation groups, the IRA spent $46,000 on pre-election day Facebook ads compared to $81 million spent by Clinton and Trump together, discluding political action committees who could have spent even more than that on the campaigns’ behalf.

Ergo, claim that Russians are responsible for electing t-RUMP is not supported by any shred of evidence, and is likely an example of TDS squared.

Perhaps, just perhaps, t-RUMP was elected because Flyover Country voters were screwed over and ignored by Washington establishment of both major parties, because their economic situation has deteriorated, with all of prosperity going towards richest 0.1%, and because D elite decided to push Hillary onto country with fraud (against Sanders who would have won primaries and probably also the election)?

Biden leads Trump by “Landslide” in new National poll.

Shocking !

(The real shock and death knell for America is that 40% would vote for him again)

Honestly, I don't want people voting who are too lazy or totally incapable of getting a photo ID.

Seriously, what percentage of people in the US (who are LEGAL residents) can function in society without some reasonable ID?

rdm - I didn’t see a response to this comment that was in response to yours. Can you respond to it? The ID law/voter “suppression” would almost certainly hurt rural “red” voters versus the public transportation utopia of “blue” states as d6rb points out. Someone in Chicago is at most 20-30 minutes train ride to a DMV or facility they can get an ID, for maybe $20.

It truly is pure laziness. Red voters are lazy too. This idea that someone in a major city can’t get an ID is absolutely retarded. The push for subsidized public transportation and the ones it is meant to benefit can’t fucking use it to get an ID? There’s no excuse. Stop making fucking excuses for lazy people that want handouts.

The notion that somebody can get by in Modern America without an ID of some kind is bizarre.

But yes, they are simply lazy. Exit Polls show Red voters are more engaged, vote earlier when possible, and better informed.

As we saw in the 2018 election, it seems a lot of Blue Voters voted after the polls closed, like in Broward and Arizona. Mysterious boxes of absentee ballots kept showing up.

Who are the people without a photo ID? The poor and minorities, who do they tend to vote for? That is how it works and everyone knows it.

Let me fix that for you:

"Who are the people without a photo ID? Illegals and fraudsters, who do they tend to vote for? That is how it works and everyone knows it."

I think the worst thing the Democrats and the Media can do this election. Is lie and hype who ever Trump's opponent is beating him by a huge number.
That is going to panic people in droves to get out and vote that set out 2016. But are far more enlightened this time around.

No,this over-hyping a Dem lead serves two purposes:

1. It provides cover for all the "vote harvesting" that will take place, ala Orange County and Broward County.
2. It provides a reason to investigate "Russia Interference" type excuses when the actual ballots do not match the polls.

Can someone post a poll from all the regions of the USA which don't include Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, DC, Chicago, SF, and LA?

Because last I'd checked, the Hillary strategy was to get all the aforementioned areas to vote for her, since in her mind, the popular (see densely populated urban centers) vote was the decider in the national elections and not the smaller counties of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio.

Is this history repeating?

socal2 says

I'd wager there is a higher percentage of voter fraud than there are number of people who are super motivated to vote, but don't have the wherewithal to get a simple photo ID.

Its hard to go to the dmv and get an ID...I'd have to stand in line for an extended period and my fat ass gets tired standing up.

It is a pain in the ass. I had to renew mine couple weeks ago. Took three hours and I had to take the dam test again. Still haven’t got the new one in the mail. Hopefully they send it to the right address.

Did you get the real ID? My appointment is Friday and I have my lease, but nearly every other damn bill is online except my car insurance. So I’m hoping the car insurance is acceptable as a second form of proof of address.

Polls - so accurate, I'll be placing huge bets on them. NOT!!

Any phone or cable bill will also work, as well as mortgage bill or property tax statement, and there’s a lot of other ones. Check out the list on the dmv website. Water bills, electric bills, trash bills. All that.

Odds To Win The 2020 United States Presidential Election

I hope that makes everyone feel good. It is of course not a head to head as all the Dems first have to win the nomination.

Remember, Jeb outspent Trump and lost the primary bigly. Hillary outspent Trump and lost the General by 74 Electoral Votes.

It ain't all about fund raising.

Biden done let the scent of his Cracker Blood in the water. Race Sharks like Spartacus and Booker on him like Stink on Shit.

Former Vice President Joe Biden continues to draw fire from across the political spectrum after praising the “civility” of well-known segregationists.
During a fundraising event in New York City on Tuesday, the Democrat frontrunner invoked his working relationship with the late-Sens. James Eastland (D-MS) and Herman Talmadge (D-GA) to argue he was the candidate best “able to reach consensus under our system.”

“I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland,” Biden said with a Southern drawl. “He never called me boy, he always called me son.”

“Well guess what?” the former vice president continued. “At least there was some civility. We got things done. We didn’t agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished. But today you look at the other side and you’re the enemy. Not the opposition, the enemy. We don’t talk to each other anymore.”

Both Talmadge and Eastland were known as fierce opponents of integration and civil rights throughout their long careers in public office. Eastland, particularly, became known as the “voice of the white South” for his fiery backing of Jim Crow.

Biden’s attempt to explain the importance of bipartisanship by highlighting his personal and professional relationships with the two segregationist Democrats did not sit well with many.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), a fellow presidential candidate, offered a strong rebuke on Wednesday, saying Biden’s relationship with “proud segregationists” was not a “model” to bring “our country together.”

Booker said in a statement on Wednesday:

“You don’t joke about calling black men ‘boys.’ Vice President Biden’s relationships with proud segregationists are not the model for how we make America a safer and more inclusive place for Black people, and for everyone. I have to tell Vice President Biden, as someone I respect, that he is wrong for using his relationships with Eastland and Talmadge as examples of how to bring our country together.”

Other 2020 Democrats were equally unwilling to tolerate Biden’s remarks.

Yeah, Biden is boring.

He's not one tenth the liar Trump is.

marcus says

I know you're still assuming Biden is a liar, but to assume a career politician lies less than Trump is kind of hysterical.
