Debate. . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-2020-chances-look-bright-thanks-his-democratic-rivals-ncna1053456 By Keith Koffler) with comments from moi:
". . . Among the most enviable and least recognized qualities of a presidential candidate is something they share with lottery winners and bowling champions: A talent for dumb luck" . . .
Right on the the lottery, but it seems to me that bowling most certainly requires a fair amount of skill

". . . And for those politicians blessed with this wholly undeserved and unearned gift, the most valuable form of it, the lucky break coveted over all others, is a lousy opponent.  President Donald Trump demonstrated such talent in abundance in 2016 when he faced the widely despised Hillary Clinton". . .
No disagreement here

"This is not to say Trump won’t earn the presidency. Or that he did not in 2016 either. He adroitly tapped into a gold mine of discontent with the established order, understanding the anger in the hinterland far better than the professional politicians and pundits who couldn’t see the problems with the establishment because they were part of it. But he also got lucky with his opponent — and he barely won". . .
Yes! BARELY!  And 'earning' is not the word I would choose to describe how he got into office.  Furthermore, I hope 'earning' (at the present time) includes 'performing' and 'accomplishing' as well as 'comporting', none of which can be attributed to this president

". . . As if to ensure his reelection, the Democrats have come up with former Vice President Joe Biden as the alleged front-runner — at least according to current polls — anointing him the most electable of the lot". . .
Unfortunately, very true.

". . . (Biden) called the actual commander in chief “President Hump,” . . .
Quite possibly not unintentional, unless he meant to say 'Lump'?????

proclaimed a preference for truth over facts and briefly relocated mass shootings that had occurred in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio to Houston and Michigan.

". . . Former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro blew the dog whistle on Biden’s mental state as loudly as possible. “Are you forgetting already what you said just two minutes ago?” he demanded after the former VP denied he had said people would have to buy into his health care plan". . .
Take heed Democrat/Biden supporter.  This is an indication of something.

". . .  the former vice president has been veering from the truth himself, including recent claims that he opposed the Iraq War from the beginning, that he didn’t oppose busing and a story about pinning a silver star on a service member in Afghanistan. . . "
See above.

". . . Neither of the two leftist Democrats running not too far behind Biden, Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts or Bernie Sanders of Vermont, holds much chance of winning the presidency in a country where, according to the 2018 Election Day exit polls, a significant portion of voters consider themselves moderates". . .
Possibly, but '2018 exit polls'. . . C'MON!!!  Either Warren or Sanders would, in the election, scare the orange shit out of this clown.

". . . Booker and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke. . . [are] nowhere in the polls". . . 
The POLLS!!?? C'MON.  You press guys and your polls should be a little more humble after calling your horse in 2016!!

Appropriate? . . .

. . . you tell me . . .
(. . . "presidential" response to mass shooting in El Paso . . . )


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/heal-or-divide-amid-their-grief-el-paso-residents-brace-n1039801)
". . . Trump . . . took a jab at O'Rourke's nickname calling it 'phony' and implying that he uses it for political gain. The Democratic presidential candidate, whose full name is Robert Francis O'Rourke, goes by 'Beto,' a childhood nickname. . ."

Parties . . .


(from How The Hell Did This  Happen?  The Election of 2016 by P.J. O'Rourke)
". . . The reason that American political parties have no constitutional standing is that the framers of the Constitution hoped America would have no political parties. . . In Federalist Paper No. 9 Alexander Hamilton declares "domestic faction" to be "the cause of incurable disorder and imbecility in the government." . . . In Federalist Paper No. 10 James Madison inveighs against "the violence of faction," calls it a "dangerous vice," and warns that "the public good is disregarded in the conflictd of rival parties.". . . Madison . . . describes, with eerie prescience, our Democratic and Republican presidential primaries and caucuses 228 years in the future: "So strong is the propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities that where no substantial occasion presents itself the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions and excite their most violent conflicts". . . "

Siding . . .

. . . is NOT what this is about . . .


(http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/08/23/cruz-challenger-beto-orourke-dinged-for-saying-nothing-more-american-than-kneeling-during-anthem.html)
". . . Beto O’Rourke, the Democrat challenging GOP Sen. Ted Cruz in the midterm elections, is being slammed by Republicans for saying (included in detailed, thorough, intelligent and respectful remarks in answer to a question from the audience) there is “nothing more American” than kneeling during the national anthem. . . O’Rourke, a Democratic congressman, was asked at a recent campaign event about NFL players who kneel during the anthem. O’Rourke replied, “I can think of nothing more American than to peacefully stand up, or take a knee for your rights anytime, anywhere, any place.”. . . Cruz tweeted (in a not so thorough, intelligent and respectful manner), "Most Texans stand for the flag, but Hollywood liberals are so excited that Beto is siding with NFL players protesting the national anthem that Kevin Bacon just retweeted it. That means all of us us can now win Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon!" . . . "
