I do know that the Reps did reach across the aisle on some common ground under Obama. I do not recall the Dems reaching across on much of anything except maybe, the Mex\Canada replacement for NAFTA. But even under complete Rep control when Trump first took office that military hating Paul Ryan would not give Trump the time of day.

Some (far too many) of you guys remind me of a pair of six-year-olds shouting "Did not! Did too! At each other. When an adult finally steps in to break it up, all that can be determined is that both are sure they are correct, neither knows exactly what caused the fight nor who actually started it, and frequently that they aren't really sure what the fight is actually about.

The only difference between this and politics, is that the six-year-olds will be best friends again in about five minutes. The politicians are not that smart or mature.

IMHO, Trump blew it when the election results were obvious. But, having said that let me completely give you my opinion.

If you believe there was zero fraud, zero funny business, and a lot of questionable issues in the election, you are an idiot.

If you believe the election was stolen through fraud, funny business and questionable voting, you are also an idiot.

If you believe that all of the fraud, funny business and questionable voting was insufficient to change the final outcome (Biden won. Unfortunately), then you show that you can truly sit back and analyze a situation objectively.

Normally I am in agreement with you but not totally this time. This election WAS stolen. Biden did NOT win. The outcome was pre-determined months ago. The Dems were frantic in demanding that voting rules be changed due to the virus situation, a situation that they were complicit in creating precisely to achieve victory in Nov. , and now they have done it. For example, several key states stopped the process on election night at the same time and resumed at the same time the next day. Was this by magic or a by a miracle of coincidence? You tell me. Trump was ahead in those states at the time their operatives stopped the process and when they resumed he was behind. It gave them time to decide how to turn the vote around in Biden's favor and they achieved their goal. This doesn't even take into account the fraud of being able to manipulate voting machines through the Dominion system. Trump should have won this election by at least 5 million votes but it does not matter now. Biden is the token "president" until Kamala takes over for him sometime later this year. 75 million of us believe this election was determined by fraud as do a sizable number of Democrats as well. If you wish to believe that we are all idiots then that is your choice and your right to believe what you will. Unfortunately you won't see this until the poison dominoes begin to fall and by then it will be far too late. In fact, it's too late already. Like the old song says, a bad moon is rising and we will all pay for it very soon.

Well, I voted for Donald in his second election (voted for Hilary in his first) because the Biden alternative didn't appeal to me from a long term economic prosperity perspective. Yes, I thought he mostly tried to do what he promised during his first campaign and did a pretty good job until the debate fiasco which obviously just got worse. Not sure I've seen it mentioned, but it certainly appears that The Donald has completely lost his cookies. Babbling up until the end that Mike will fix it. Completely unhinged and detached from reality. I think his mental lapse eclipses even Richard Nixon which is a high bar to exceed. His family and enablers should have sought medical treatment before this latest collapse.

With Joe Biden at the Helm and Schumer / Pelosi / McConnell as the OOD's the ship of State is on a dangerous course. Sit back and listen to the fore flushers flush. Donald Trump fulfilled his commitments to public. The Professional Politicians never do. Professional Politicians always blame the other guy for why they cannot do what they said they will do.

Mitch is just as much a product of the swamp as Queen Nancy and Joe & his Ho! They all need to go. Wait, I did not mean for that to rhyme.

Will this statement be accurate for the Republicans in four years? Or will they do everything possible to obstruct the Biden administration? We need to come together as a country and put aside party politics. Is anyone ever going to start the process? I for one am not optimistic.

Unfortunately the Republicans, who are too stupid and self-serving to obstruct anything, won't have to obstruct Biden because he is not going to be around long enough to obstruct. I agree with you that we need to come together as country but we won't. We can't. Too many things are in place now to prevent the coming catastrophe. I believe that a lot of Trump haters are now beginning to understand what they have voted for, something that will be far, far worse than the bad orange man. Take cover if you can.

While I can see why you feel that way, he is not at all unhinged and is very much in touch with reality. So many have failed to understand his way of doing things and one of them is to shoot straight from the lip, something that doesn't always look good or serve him well but that is just the way the man is wired. They think they have destroyed him. They are completely wrong. In the meantime, you are right about Biden who not only will not be a one term "president" but not even a one year "president". A complete and utter joke. Now for more myopic and idiotic comment from Sgt. George. As the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening, so shall Sgt. George inevitably appear with his leftist lunacy but even Sgt. George knows the deal with Biden.

That would be your version of history. He did very few if anything positive for the country. He fucked things up at that border and increased the numbers of people coming to it. He rode the Obama economy despite his efforts to screw it up with trade bans and tariffs. He ballooned the debt and deficit with his absurd tax policy. Really? He's a world wide embarrassment to the American people. Did I mention his lying and inaction regarding the global pandemic? Please, name one thing he did right?

ARG.

[ARegularGuy]

Unfortunately, all you got is not much. We call it name calling. A sign of ignorance and simple mindedness. Suggesting that the center (you call them leftists) are not pro-American as any other group is, naive. Your ilk likes to call progressives, centrists, liberals, or Democrats "leftist. " Two things are true, 1) we are not "leftists" and 2) You don't know what a leftist is!

ARG.

It's Sgt. George again. Anything new from Sgt. George? No, sorry. It's just TRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMP again and again and more lies from Sgt. George. Trump is gone, Sgt. George. In a week you will kneel down and suck Mighty Joe's dick just like the good little America-hating leftist that you are. We all know what you are, Sgt. George. Sucks to be you.

If the Dems had tried, just for a little bit to work with him over the past 4 years instead of spending every waking minutes and far TOO much of your and my tax dollars chasing nothing burgers, we all might be better off.

There isn't a person on this planet that could make this country more of a laughing stock then what he accomplished these last 4 years. How your wall going BTW? Also how much of it did the Mexicans pay so far? So I'm sure Biden won't cheer people to attempt a coup or applaud white supremists kkk members. The few guys things you do usually tend to get glossed over when everything else you did was a complete shit show. It's been a circus out here. I'm still waiting for his tax documents to be seized as soon as possible.

He got a lot of the wall build and the additional money that was flowing into the federal coffers from the tariffs, etc. Under his presidency could have paid the cost but Queen Nancy decided she had better plans for that money and none of it benefitted your or me.

Trump's speech before the capital riot has been thoroughly analyzed and nothing in it encouraged storming the capital or in anyway, be violent or destroy property. If he had, those clips would be on almost every news channel in America. Whereas, Biden said Antifa was an idea while Portland and other cities were burning because of Antifa. Trump did not actually cheer or applaud members of the KKK, go look at what he said yourself and for just a minute, change Trump to Biden, Harris, Clinton (pick a Dem) and see if you would still believe what CNN is spoon feeding you.

Tax issues are on both sides, Al Sharpton still owes on his back taxes from when he was in Congress and Charlie Rangel was forced out for not paying taxes. And the Biggie. The law does not require the release.

If the Dems had tried, just for a little bit to work with him over the past 4 years instead of spending every waking minutes and far TOO much of your and my tax dollars chasing nothing burgers, we all might be better off.

As both left and right extremes scream 'dementia' which one of these two dudes is better with words: Donald Trump or Joe Biden? Depending on which candidate you support, the answer seems crystal clear; but if you want evidence, go to their words.

Analysis:

Last year Factba.se analyzed all of the unscripted words spoken by the last 15 U.S. presidents in the first 986 days of their presidencies. They used the Flesch-Kincaid grade-level test, which the U.S. government uses to ensure readability of government documents. It calculates the number of words per sentence and the number of syllables per word, which together determine the grade level that someone is speaking or writing at.

The results were somewhat surprising. Barack Obama, whom conservatives love to tag as elitist, was right in the middle of the pack, speaking at an eighth-grade reading level. During George W. Bushs presidency, he was consistently labeled a simpleton, but he was only 11th on the list, scoring higher than both his dad and FDR. At the top of the list? Herbert Hoover, who spoke at an 11th-grade level through the Great Depression. Trump ranked by far the lowest, speaking at a fourth-grade reading level.

In 2008 the Global Language Monitor analyzed Bidens and Sarah Palins sentences in their vice presidential debate, and found that Biden spoke at an almost eighth-grade level, which would place him toward the bottom of the presidential list: between Bush 41 and FDR, though still higher than Trump.

By each of these imperfect metrics, Biden comes out atop Trump.

Kudos for keeping us informed about the intellectual prowess of this so called "stable genius".

There are those that think I’m a very stable genius. Okay? I watch my words very, very closely.~ Donald Trump, 10/2/19. Seriously?
