What is sudden drop in Trump's support due to.. I think

It may be Melania .. and her cursing at Christmas..

Christmas is something special for most people .. I am not religious ..but setting up decorations with my kids is the FUNNEST part of Christmas...

She attacked a sacred mind space for most people. Iam sure religious people must be feeling extremely betrayed by her.

We need to start a mass campaign post elections to win over rural America

There is absolutely no reason they cannot be Democrats.

If we start making inroads - We can either force GOP to either reinvent or go extinct.

New Zealand's experiment seems to be working again

Their strategy is Go Hard and Go Early. That is the way they have tamed the virus

on edit:

I think mask wearing in congested closed spaces like buses and train should become standard operating procedure from here on. Even after the virus goes away.

The first time New Zealand thought it had eliminated the coronavirus from its isolated shores, a mysterious outbreak in its largest city shattered any sense of victory over a tenacious foe.

Now, after a second round of strict lockdown, the country believes — if a bit more tentatively this time — that it has effectively stamped out the virus once again.

On Wednesday, New Zealand moved to lift the last of its restrictions in Auckland after 10 days with no new cases linked to a cluster that first surfaced in August. The government will now allow unrestricted gatherings, and trips on public transit without social distancing or masks, in the city of 1.6 million people.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who is facing re-election next week, called the reopening a validation of the country’s “go hard, go early” response. The strategy is aimed at eradicating the virus with a swift science-based policy, one that trades weeks of lockdown and sacrifice for an emergence to full economic activity.

We are approaching a quarter million deaths in Covid ..

Millions of dollars and thousands of hours were spent in investigating 4 deaths in Benghazi...

But will anyone be held accountable for 250,000 deaths!!!

GOP has the bloody cheek to call itself the party of life ...they are a death cult instead.


A mentally and a physically diseased death cult.

They are the agents of Voldemort..

Those of you in Florida - what is your feeling?

Lots of mixed messages in here in this report

Florida Democrats post wide lead in mail-in ballot requests

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — No state looms larger in the fight for the White House than Florida, where a loss by President Donald Trump would almost certainly block his path to reelection.

With just over a month until Election Day, Democrats are encouraged by a substantial lead in requests for mail-in ballots. But the party is losing its advantage in registering voters, which could complicate Joe Biden’s push for victory.

The Florida secretary of state’s office shows that 2.4 million Democrats have requested mail-in ballots compared with 1.6 million Republicans — a 767,000 request advantage as the coronavirus pandemic makes some voters leery of entering a polling place. It’s also a sharp change from 2016 when requests — and returned mail-in ballots — were evenly split. Trump narrowly won Florida over Hillary Clinton in 2016, and statewide elections are notoriously tight.

However, Republicans have gained some ground in voter registration. Both parties have about 5 million registered Floridians. Democrats have a 183,000-member advantage, down from 330,000 four years ago.

Why do you think he did it.

Providing leadership for COVID is such soft ball for ANY President ...You just have to listen to the experts, be forthright and people will rally around you ... had Trump done the NORMAL thing- I bet his electoral prospects would be different. Instead he fought everyone and carved a disastrous path that he forced America to take.


It defies logic. Question is why?


On UPDATE:

There could have been more than one driver , I get it -- but choose what you think is the primary reason for his behavior.
