The ineptitude runs deep in the Democrat party, just take a look at all of the lefties on this forum who thought Harris was a great candidate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The choice of candidate made absolutely no difference to you. Your only argument during this entire election cycle has been that bringing Trump back will magically bring the pre-covid economy back. What does Harris have to do with that? Edited November 6, 2024 by jakee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love your disdain for me, the 2300 more counties Trump won this time. Add to this fact, Trump got many more votes in nearly every demographic plus, he recieved increase in vote numbers in every state. The people saw through the bs the left spewed. All the law bs suits brought against him helped him win in my opinion. Oh, and let us not forget he won the popular vote by a significant margin. So many stupid people huh John...

rushmc 23 #8 November 6, 2024 Another data point. Star county in Texas. It is on the southern boarder of Texas. It has the highest percentage of Latino population in all the country. Last time it went Republican was 1892. It went for Trump! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harris is and was a better candidate than Trump. The fact Trump won so many votes is a reflection on American people and not in a good way. By all accounts it looks like Trump will have absolute power, let’s check back in after 2 years and see what he’s achieved, and how things are going.

How is that relevant to Trump’s promise to end the Ukraine war in a day as soon as he is president elect? Also just because the US likes to spend trillions on weapons doesn’t mean everyone else should. And to be blunt about it, if they are going to then support the European defence industry not American Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The goal posts will always move. Trump made the claim… I’ve had enough of Trump, I hoped it would be over. Probably about time to swap out my news subscriptions for a pornhub subscription.

And how does that hand Ukraine to Russia? The EU vs Russia is not even a contest. Population, GDP, and military capabilities of the EU/NATO dwarf those of Russia. Europe can step up and support the largest country in Europe (not named Russia) without our help. (personally I support US aid for Ukraine and I hope Biden expedites delivery of the multi billion dollar aid package and relaxes restrictions on the use of American weapons. Given who the President Elect is I don’t think there is a risk of escalation from Putin) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Trump removes support from Ukraine it would fall to Germany, France, GB, Poland, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Belgium and Spain, to step up and fill the gap. Russia is spent, its military is in tatters, its economy is in shambles and it is in a demographic death spiral. Russia is weak and getting weaker, it is no longer the big bad Bear of the Soviet Union. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
