Re: 2020 General Election
This doesn’t help....
https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/ ... ctxQOoVSqoA digital ad released by a fundraising arm of the Trump campaign on Sept. 11 calling on people to “support our troops” uses a stock photo of Russian-made fighter jets and weapons.
The ad, which was made by the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, features silhouettes of three soldiers walking as a fighter jet flies over them. The ad first appeared on Sept. 8 and ran until Sept. 12.
“That’s definitely a MiG-29,” said Pierre Sprey, who helped design both the F-16 and A-10 planes for the U.S. Air Force. “I’m glad to see it’s supporting our troops.”
He noted the angle of the aircraft’s tail, the way the tail is swept far back, and the spacing of the engines, along with the tunnel between them.
Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies in Moscow, confirmed that the planes are Russian MiG-29s, and also said the soldier on the far right in the ad carries an AK-74 assault rifle.

Re: 2020 General Election
It's kind of fascinating. Trump has slightly increased his support with Latinos, but the reason Biden's polling well is due to a jump in support from white and older people (specifically women and college-educated). Of course, whites are still the dominant voter base so any percent increase there is going to be orders of magnitude larger than other demographics.kalm wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 4:39 am And here in conk central Eastern Washington, I’ve experienced the opposite.

Young people may vote more this year, but I'm not convinced it'll be significant. Hope I'm wrong.

https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/biden- ... 1600171592Last week, an NBC News/Marist poll showed Mr. Trump with a narrow edge over Mr. Biden among Latino voters in Florida, earning 50% of their support compared with 46% for Mr. Biden. An August survey of Latino voters by Equis Lab, a Democratic polling firm, found Mr. Biden with a 16-point lead over Mr. Trump among that group in the state, substantially less than Mrs. Clinton’s exit-poll advantage in 2016.

Funny how I grew up with adults teaching me to not believe everything I see on the internet, and now those older people believe everything they see on the internet. I guess I'm fortunate to have grown with the internetz, instead of before or after it.

- Biden will use the Rona as an excuse to push for virtual debates where he can have a teleprompter/ear bud/coach to help him respond to questions.
- Trump will throw a twitter tantrum complaining about it because a virtual format cuts into his ability to bully and bluster his opponent.

Gonna need some details. Trump hasn't started any new wars and is actually bringing troops home.

Watch that The View clip and tell me he’s fine..JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 3:03 pmAs I've said about stuff like that before: Biden is fine. He comes across as more "there" than Trump does. These people can keep trying this and I guess there is some chance it will work. But every time Biden goes public with discussion, answering questions, etc., it gets shot down. Any rational person can see that he's fine and is, in fact, a lot more lucid than Trump is.
