He’s going to get hate and marginalization from the partisan idiots, but it’s hard to ignore the opinion of a decorated general with with some 50 years experience with the military in some capacity.

There is no reason to hate Mattis, I question his motives but still respect the man.

Fox News polls: Joe Biden vs Donald Trump, Presidential General Election

Donald Trump (R) 40%

Ohio

Joe Biden (D) 45%
Donald Trump (R) 43%

Arizona

********************

The only one of those three states that Joe Biden must win is Wisconsin. Biden is playing with house money in Ohio and Arizona.

High unemployment has put states such as Ohio and North Carolina in play. Trump can still win. A lot can change in 5 months, but his path to victory is murkier. There are more states in play now, which he must win, then what was the case in 2016.

On a side note, pulling the Republican National Convention out of Charlotte would be a very big mistake. I hope he follows through with that threat.

To be honest, my “concern” is at its highest level at any point thus far in the cycle after seeing the number of black squares plaguing Instagram and Facebook on Tuesday. I truly do believe that the riots only serve to help Trump with independents/undecideds across the Midwest, but there are a lot of newly-minted “armchair activists” who were 14-17 back in 2016 and now seem rather galvanized.

I don’t feel that #blackouttuesday is as much a referendum against Trump as it is an earnest (though misguided) effort to address racial inequality, but many of these now eligible/eager voters must fervently anti-Trump and surely thousands live in Michigan/Wisconsin/Ohio/Pennsylvania.

Man Trump was headed for easy win then 2020 happened. I don't want Biden.

I want Trump to win as well but out of that crowd that was running Biden was the only one that didn't make me piss my pants. Sure if he wins he will try to throw some red meat to the radical antifa base but it will be 4 years of basically nothing significant. He has never accomplished anything in his life and that's especially true for the political life

The "Antifa" crowd is not exactly a big constituency, and they mostly live in states such as Maryland, New York and New Jersey which are very safe for Biden. As for Bernie Sanders supporters staying at home? I don't think that is accurate. Bernie did not endorse Hillary Clinton until the Democratic National Convention in 2016. He endorsed Joe Biden over a month ago. I don't see as much as lingering bitterness now from his supporters, as was the case in 2016. Bernie's support also appears to have waned a bit, judging by the big difference in his results in Michigan from 2016 to 2020.

What worries me with Biden is the VP choice. I’m not sure Biden will make it through a term, from the mental aspect.

He likely will unless he voluntarily (really he makes the choice) steps down. There will be a lot of people planning to use Joe's lack of mental capability to their advantage. He will be used by many people to pass their own agendas that may not succeed or have a hard time doing so. They won't want him to step down because the VP may not be as pliable to outside influence.

But the VP choice scares me very much as well due to the same concerns you have.

Well of course he does...He wins twice by selling out America to Globalists and getting Hunter on some more BoDs with billions in kick-backs. Biden is a vote against the Republic.

I don't buy either side's argument that it will be a blowout for Trump or Biden. It will be razor thin margins of victory in swing states, much like 2016.

I think the key difference this time is policy differences are out the window. After Covid and the protests, this is just going to be which side is more pissed off than the other. Anger will drive turnout for both sides this election. Whichever side is still more pissed off in November, wins.

This is also 2020, so I'm sure more weirdness will be upon us soon. Five months is an eternity in politics.

In a tweet yesterday, Donald Trump claimed to have been the one who gave General James Mattis the nickname "Mad Dog". I realize it's not important, but that is very easily fact-checked to be an outright lie. It does give some insight into Trump's willingness to make things up. During his Senate confirmation hearing testimony on Thursday January 12, 2017, General James Mattis was asked how he was given the nickname "Mad Dog". This was his response:

"That nickname was given to me by the press, and some of you may have experienced similar occasions with the press where perhaps they didn't get it quite right." - General James Mattis

No matter is too great or too small for Donald Trump to lie about. Lying comes very easy to Donald Trump... too easy.

And just like that . . . Democrats loved a General named Mad Dog. View attachment 284787

Your take is an over-simplification. Of course, Democrats are going to quote the stated opinion of Donald Trump's former Secretary of Defense, when he is saying negative things about him, but that does not mean that we "love" the guy. At the very least, General Mattis is a horrible judge of character. If you are at all familiar with the Theranos scandal, then you know that Mattis was on their board of directors and had nothing but glowing things to say about the notorious Elizabeth Holmes. Mattis is indeed very flawed... but he represents yet another former cabinet member of Donald Trump's, who is now on record hating on the guy. That is becoming a lengthy list. Go figure.
