And yet CNN is trying to open the eyes of the woke to a possible Trump win

Opinion: Why many Pennsylvania voters still like Trump

If I were to predict which presidential candidate was going to win Pennsylvania, based purely on my experience as a woman who has lived, studied and worked in the Philadelphia area for nearly six decades -- including 18 years as a newspaper columnist -- I would say that Joe Biden would come out victorious. But I would also likely be wrong.

Though I am a Philadelphia resident, my work as an attorney takes me to a number of the rural areas where detention centers are often located and where many of my clients live, so I spend a large chunk of time outside my city's longstanding blue bubble.

I was also the host of a conservative talk show on a local radio station for over a decade and had my finger on the pulse of right-leaning voters across the state. In talking with them, I've developed a very different impression of what Biden's chances actually are.

Some of the right-leaning voters I've reached out to for their insights in the last few weeks have told me they think Biden's current lead in the polls is both misleading and tenuous. The suggestion that the state will go to the former vice president because he's a native son and Washington's version of a "moderate Democrat" is magical thinking, in their opinion.

Even with a political landscape that has been heavily impacted by Covid-19, growing racial unrest and an economy struggling to find its grounding, Trump still appears to have strong support among many voters in Pennsylvania, based on the anecdotal evidence I've gathered during my work travels in rural Berks, Lancaster, Pike, York, Lancaster and Luzerne counties, where Trump (and not Biden) 2020 lawn signs dot the landscape. Even polls in August, including from Monmouth University, show the race tightening between the two candidates in the state......Much More

A direct no? No, he did stress that his son did nothing wrong related to Burisma. I have stated here before and I'll state again that if Hunter Biden or Joe Biden were involved in any way in illegal activities, that they should be held to account. They are no more above the law than anyone else.
And thank you, but I have no want nor need for your unsolicited advice.
So why the song and dance with a 3rd party no?

Poll: Biden up by 12 points in Pennsylvania

The double-digit edge is a sizeable improvement over last month's version of the Monmouth survey.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is ahead by 12 percentage points among registered voters in Pennsylvania, according to a new survey of the swing state where he was born.
A Monmouth University poll published Tuesday reports that a majority of Pennsylvania voters, 54 percent, back Biden, while 42 percent prefer President Donald Trump.
The double-digit edge for Biden comes after last month’s version of the Monmouth survey showed him with an advantage of just 4 percentage points over Trump among Pennsylvania voters, 49-45 percent.

Yep that is what she was saying too, but her eyes were opened away from her "urban bubble" (her words)

This is hardly a new trend; in fact, it’s increasingly common among American voters. However, this level of hatred — which political scientists call “negative partisanship” — has reached levels that are not just bad for democracy, but are potentially destructive. And extreme partisan animosity is a prelude to democratic collapse.

There are two possible ways this ends. The first is the one we all fear — the unwinding of our democracy, because one or both sides hate each other so much that they are willing to support anti-democratic and authoritarian leadership in order to maintain power. (This is the threat Democrats have explicitly raised in recent months.)

The other scenario is a major realignment and/or a collapse of one (or both) of the two major parties, which could reorient American political coalitions and resurrect some of the overlaps of an earlier era. The growing partisan hatreds and the forces driving them have been a long time in the making. It’s possible they are coming to an end. But more than any other time in the last century and a half, they are testing the very foundations of American democracy.
an excellent and realistic assessment. Well done ,Girth.

Trump, battling Covid-19, says he won't 'waste his time' taking part in a virtual debate

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/20...r-trump-s-covid-n1242596?cid=eml_nbn_20201008


******************

The lunatic has been on one of his insane rants again......calling Harris a monster and a communist. THAT is mental derangement for the world to see. His attitude to women and especially women of color is truly SICK. It is beyond prejudicial. By behaving that way he is showing the world what a weak man he is. His bete noirs are exposed making him UNFIT for the job. His immaturity is astounding.

Expect anything , no matter how gutter level toxic from Donald as the election nears. He is behaving like a cornered psychopath. and / or on strong drugs that are intensifying his ugliness.

Joe Biden says he will hold a solo town hall after Trump backed out of the next debate

"Joe Biden was prepared to accept the CPD's proposal for a virtual Town Hall, but the President has refused, as Donald Trump clearly does not want to face questions from the voters about his failures on COVID and the economy," the Biden campaign said in a statement." As a result, Joe Biden will find an appropriate place to take questions from voters directly on October 15th, as he has done on several occasions in recent weeks."

Biden's campaign expressed hope that the commission would move the town hall to October 22 so that President Donald Trump "is not able to evade accountability."

"The voters should have a chance to ask questions of both candidates, directly. Every presidential candidate since 1992 has participated in such an event, and it would be a shame if Donald Trump was the first to refuse," the statement added.

The Commission on Presidential Debates had announced earlier Thursday that the next debate would be virtual "to protect the health and safety of all involved." Trump, who is still being treated for COVID-19, backed out.

"I'm not going to waste my time on a virtual debate. That's not what debating's all about," Trump said in an interview with Fox Business Network on Thursday morning. "You sit behind a computer and do a debate — it's ridiculous."

The Trump campaign said the president would instead hold a rally.


Of course he'll hold a rally, the paid rally attendees don't ask questions. They're just told where to stand, what to wear, and to cheer every time Trump completes a sentence... I mean tells a lie. MAGA!

Why is the Biden team afraid to debate live? Won't even agree to postpone for a day or Two, test negative like last time and good to go no?


Why is Trump fearful of a live town hall debate? Biden was willing to go forward with any platform, Trump backed away. And if I recall, I don't think it was Biden's decision to go virtual, was it not the decision of the commission? Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
