Yeah, all I'm seeing is a massive reach to paint rietrot as a fan of police brutality thereby negating him and his position - troll behaviour. Furthermore, you're now gaslighting me as an irrational person for calling you out on your bs. But entertain us more with your good faith debate schtick.

Please get back to me when you actually get a clue.

/edit
here, in case you want to argue semantics like you usually do.

One mans police brutality is another mans law and order.

Obviously some don't think there is anything wrong with throwing other people with heavy objects that can seriously harm or kill them.

Trump is in deep trouble - women vote at a higher rate than men and making gains with the white working-class (Trump's base). Biden would also be better with the WWC - he has that folksy appeal that Hilary never had. Also leading with the ballies - always look at that 65+ demographic, they usually pick the winning side.

Current electoral map according to the views of Ladbrokes punters. Think they are being a too optimistic about NC, Trump won that clearly in 2016. I am keeping my eyes peeled on Iowa here, there could definitely be value there.

The betting odds are interesting. The polling is mostly BS, but the betting odds have a real monetary reason not to get it wrong.

All that I can think it is is that people in big cities who already lean Democrat and non US citizens are more likely to bet on the election than more conservative Republican voters and non US. That should skew the money in, which functions almost as the sample size in polls.

Yeah - off the back of a guaranteed win for the Democrat Senatorial candidate.

There seems to be a real disconnect between Trump and Senate/house candidates. The GOPers just don't draw as much enthusiasm themselves as Trump does and most of the time it's bad candidate. The Dems can win big in the smaller elections if they just get anyone half decent that focuses on local issues, also have a astronaut or something helps.
The Republican candidates seem too obsessed with Trump.

Ah Trumptard is demonstrating that the current financial system is socialism for the rich (big tax payer funded bail outs for the rich to keep the stock market afloat) and capitalism for the rest (fierce competition for crumbs).

Obama did the the same and Hildabeast lost. Trumptard is pretty much guaranteed to lose if he is going to use this as a selling point

Trump campaign demands CNN apologize for poll that shows Biden leading

Washington (CNN)
President Donald Trump's campaign is demanding CNN retract and apologize for a recent poll that showed him well behind presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

The demand, coming in the form of a cease and desist letter to CNN President Jeff Zucker, was immediately rejected by the network.

"We stand by our poll," said Matt Dornic, a CNN spokesman.

The CNN poll conducted by SSRS and released on Monday shows Trump trailing the former vice president by 14 points, 55%-41%, among registered voters. It also finds the President's approval rating at 38% -- his worst mark since January 2019, and roughly on par with approval ratings for one-term Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush at this point in their reelection years -- and his disapproval rating at 57%.

Soon after the poll was released, Trump tweeted that he had hired Republican pollster McLaughlin & Associates to "analyze" the CNN poll and others, "which I felt were FAKE based on the incredible enthusiasm we are receiving." McLaughlin ranks as one of the least accurate pollsters in the industry, as measured by FiveThirtyEight.

President Trump’s job approval rating plunged 10 points in the latest Gallup survey amid massive protests over the death of George Floyd and uncertainty about the coronavirus pandemic.

Gallup found that 39 percent of Americans now approve of the job Trump is doing, a steep drop from the president’s personal high of 49 percent achieved in May.

Trump’s job approval rating is down 7 points among Republicans to 85 percent, the lowest point for the president within his own party in almost two years. Trump is also down 7 points among independents to 39 percent.

Worth reading the report itself. It's blistering.

'Everything about this is irregular': Ex-judge tapped to review Flynn case blasts Trump DOJ

The retired judge, John Gleeson, said the Justice Department had improperly bowed to the president's will.
www.politico.com www.politico.com
A former judge selected to advise on a path forward in the criminal case against Michael Flynn is accusing the Justice Department of exercising a “gross abuse of prosecutorial power” to protect an ally of President Donald Trump, distorting known facts and legal principles to shield Flynn from a jail sentence.

Some choice excerpts:
“Even recognizing that the Government is entitled to deference in assessing the strength of its case, these claims are not credible,” Gleeson wrote. “Indeed, they are preposterous.”

"The facts surrounding the filing of the Government's motion constitute clear evidence of gross prosecutorial abuse. They reveal an unconvincing effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss that is based solely on the fact that Flynn is a political ally of President Trump,"

I'm curious if @Emjay will change her position at all, or just keep posting tripe from The Federalist.
