  1. The end of a real life Soap opera, the lost episode is November 3
    Make sure ya’ll vote and let’s Unite America once for all !!!!

    1. Steve you are the first person who hasn’t been able to figure it out without my help. Sorry, I’m not going to change how I spell my name for one person.

    2. @Jew Dy Bernie’s currently running? That’s news to the entire world. Last I heard he was supporting Biden.

    3. Steve unfortunately, I have to vote for Biden, but Bernie was my candidate of choice. Most Bernie supporters are loathe to support Biden, but here we are. So, which of those guys is endorsed by David Duke?

    4. @Steve Try facts Steve. The Hill is hardly sympathetic to the Right – but this article reports facts, especially in regard to why Flynn plead guilty (they threatened to destroy his son) that he actually did NOT lie (per the FBI’s own documentation recently released) and that even if he did lie, there was no basis for a prosecution. (Otherwise, every member of Congress would be in jail).
      Nice try. Get informed.

  2. Honestly, I think a majority of us Biden voters are literally giving our vote to Biden out of spite for Trump because Trump is the worst weapon and enemy against this country. I’m in no shape or form the biggest Biden fan but my vote goes to him no matter what in November.

    1. @Mick E Not sure where you get your news, but you keep mentioning things that are not factually true.

    2. Tasha, this is why you’re stupid. You’re voting in someone with CLEAR dimentia and other issues (including racism). But you all hate trump and call him racist, you’re all a laughing stock if Biden wins.

      Vote in a greater evil, that will teach trump 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    3. @Mr. Palmer I know… I keep hoping I can open someone’s eyes to the lies they are told, teach them basic economics, something… but some are just hopeless.

  3. Even IF Biden’s in the lead.. Don’t get complacent, vote. Make sure you’re registered to vote as well.

    1. @Andros C Biden is basically a Republican. Why does everyone think he’s some sort of Marxist/fat-leftist/socialist? Biden doesn’t even want to legalize marijuana! What makes you think he’d want to defund the police?

    1. @Rockefeller Savage USMC?! Yet you want to vote for a president who is so incompetent and stupid that he lets marines get scalped by Taliban head hunters?! You’re either a liar or a disgrace to the corps.

    2. Anyone else looking forward to the debates like I am? I what to see Joe prove his cognitive abilities!! ☺️🙂😅

    3. @Miss Kitten They will probably be a lot better than Trump’s…Joe has a very high IQ, something Trump doesn’t

    4. South Carolina was the first to secede before the Civil War started. I wouldn’t be surprised if South Carolinans still believe in that BS

  4. ” Doctor doctor , she gave me the news
    I got a bad case of the polling blues .”
    Trump .

    1. @Liberal in Oklahoma Wow. That bubble you’re living in must be pretty sweet. With this kind of impressive insight, how badly did you miss in 2016? I predict it’ll be double bad for you in 2020.

    2. @Liberal in Oklahoma What is my “willful ignorance”? It’s true, right? Hillary won the race she wasn’t in and Trump won the race he was in. Factual statement, right?

  5. Just remember this. In most of the country, a Democrat needs a 5% lead to squeak out a victory. A Republican can be behind by 4.5% and still win. This is due to the Banana Republican voter suppression successes.

    1. Carriemchardy Carrie that’s whah happens when you tax businesses… they leave and lay off workers to go overseas

    1. Lord Vegeta a hahah, don’t think so buddy! Nice try tho! TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    2. @Mark Melville A National Security threat? In what way Mark? What threat? That as the incoming NSA, he actually talked with his Russian counterpart? And WHAT could unmasking Flynn do for the good of National Security when he would take his post formally in 14 days? Frankly, Flynn helped America by getting Russia to NOT retaliate against America. Oh…and one more thing. Obama knew about Russia’s behavior MONTHS before the election. Why did he only wait until Dec. 29 to put sanctions on them? Hint: Obamagate.
      Try facts next time.

  6. 9% isn’t enough of a lead. Biden really needs to poll consistently over 10% for the stats to be with him.

    1. Biden really shouldn’t even be in the race considering his current mental state. Pretty sad Democrats clearly support a man that obviously couldn’t run the nation. I’m being serious. Historians will have a field day with this in 5 years and it won’t look good for the Democrat party.

  7. Florida Recount 2000?
    Don’t forget the ‘bird in the Bush’!…. poling is not reliable! 2020……. 🤷🏻‍♂️VOTE.

    1. in fact polling is based on votes . not russian leaders using the electoral college against the united states.

    2. 🆘 Wow did you see the Podcast host Joe Rogan on Wednesday. Rogan believes voters are concerned about the mental state of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
      “I believe there is also a large group of people that are very uncomfortable with a man who seems to be mentally compromised winning the election and doing so by hiding in his basement for months,” Rogan said on his podcast “The Joe Rogan Show.” I think Biden is not up for the job and when he debates Trump we will all see for ourselves if Biden debates 3 times like he agreed to do. Joe Biden handlers have kept him hiding out in his basement for months. The few meetings with the Press Biden has had, all he was given was softball questions.

  8. All sane people want to know why anyone would vote for idiotman. These people walk among us. Beware.

    1. The trumpettes and paid lakkies will drown in the Pacific Ocean if Dumptrump told em to. He has NO Leadership capabilities as shown in his MIShandling of the Coronavirus crisis. VOTE BLUE America!

    2. @Sherri M “…mishandling of the Coronavirus crisis”. I hear that all the time. Can you articulate what the Democrats better plan is/was? I never hear about it. All they do is try to mock Trump by saying they’d follow the experts advice, but that’s exactly what Trump did. Fauci said so in his own words. Please enlighten me on this magical plan that is so good they’re keeping it from us.

    3. @hector heck The Democrats are not in charge of the Federal government. Donald Trump is. And he has not generated a national plan. He left everything to the states, leaving them to compete among themselves for supplies. Meanwhile, Trump kept saying it would go away like magic. Besides that, he politicized wearing masks, which is one of the few tools we have to reduce the spread of the disease. A proper plan would involve using the Defense Production Act to produce protective equipment and supplies. That way hospitals would not have to worry about running out like they do now. A proper plan would have enough testing to control outbreaks.
      Face it. Trump has failed miserably in protecting the American people from this disease.

    4. @soaringvulture “Democrats are not in charge” Nice dodge. But they claim they would do soooo much better. I’m curious what their genius plan is/was.

      The Federal government isn’t in charge of the states. That is for a reason. It’s pretty dictatorly isn’t it? The states have the freedom to make their own decisions. For example, 5 states (run by Democrats) decided it was a good idea to put COVID patients with grandmas in nursing homes. It effectively doubled the deathrate for the regions. Would you want all of the states to be required to do that? Of course not. We have autonomous states that can make their own decisions based on their local needs. IF they ask for the Feds for help, they get help. Both CA and NY governors (no Trump supporters at all) said Trump’s administration gave them everything they asked for. What more could he do?

      Trump did say it’d go away like magic. How many viruses have we had that don’t? Pretty much all, right? We have a yearly flu season that peters out every year before summer. Was that an unreasonable expectation at the time? He was wrong, but the comment was at a time when we didn’t know everything we know now. Is that a crime? Don’t all leaders make statements and decisions based on what they currently know?

    1. I think he’ll leave office and say some sour grapes nonsense, like the press has been so unfair and he was treated worse than any President* in history and anyway he can make millions and millions of dollars in the private sector.

  9. I think OH is an obvious Biden state. There’s no doubt he’ll win the blue wall & AZ, CO, & NC.

    1. I’ve never understood how Ohio hasn’t been a solid blue state for years, with 3 major cities. Big cities almost always go for Democrats. That’s a lot of people that I’d expect to make Ohio as blue as Oregon or Illinois.
