I do believe that Trump is the superior golfer.

He won't because we all already know the result.  

Yes, this would seem to be a no brainer to do if everything was ok.

I think Senator Lankford would disagree with you. Governing usually involves compromise, but it’s not clear that many on the right feel that way any more. I guess we’ll see what type of bill can get passed after the election.

He didn’t even vote for it, so maybe he finally realized he was played by the Democrats.  Btw, why does compromise in DC always result in the Democrats getting their way, and the Republicans taking it where the sun doesn’t shine.  Who really cares why the GOP tanked the “bipartisan” Senate bill, or why the Democrats will not let HR2 see the light of day in the Senate, it is all about politics, and neither side has any high ground.  I seem to remember the Democrats not compromising on a Trump full plan for the “Dreamers” because Queen Nancy and Corrupt Chuck did not want Trump to get a political win.  The same could be said about the wall, but Republicans are the problem.

I don’t see that. I guess we will see what happens if/when Biden loses the election. I don’t think we’ll see him trying to overturn the election.

Of course you don’t see it, Biden is your guy so you ignore his executive orders such as buying votes with taxpayer money to college loan idiots.  SCOTUS said it was unconstitutional, but Old Corrupt Petulant Joe is doing an end run as he knows it will be another few years before more cases make it through the courts.  Then of course Biden’s executive offices are using unelected bureaucrats to make laws that were never written.  Brings back that old Reagan quote.

I think Biden’s policies are superior to Trump’s and that he is a better human being and president.

If you like regressive and economically damaging policies, then you are probably right.

Tax cuts for the skew to the rich is the definition of regressive economic policy.

 

Across the board 10% tariffs and 60% tariffs on Chinese goods is going to also be economically ruinous. 
 

We are living in different realities.

Creepy Joe putting tariffs on Chinese affordable EVs and Renewable Energy products is somewhat amusing.

Ahh, the Democrat talking point about the tax cuts.  I am not in the top 1% and I got a tax cut.  How do you explain that?  Now if you want to change the way this country taxes income, you know progressively, then fine, vote for the people that will confiscate other people’s money like the Democrats promote.

 

As to tariffs, time will tell, but I highly doubt an across the board tariff will happen under Trump, and besides, Biden seems to be touting tariffs as well, but I guess those are just to protect the investments of his family and friends.

The latest petulant Democrat pipe dream.  The DM is famous for its clickbait headlines, but in this case, the headline is fairly accurate.  This is a wild plot.  For a political party that says they are for the common person, they are really out-of-touch.  I heard it mentioned on radio the difference between Democrats and Republicans, where Republicans take in all the news from both sides, whereas Democrats are only looking at the news from their side.  It seems there is a current events literacy gap in the Democrats.

Let's just throw all those actual state primary votes away.  Wow.  This could backfire in a big way.

Remember that Democrats think their voters/supporters are stupid.

Biden sounded very adamant about staying in the race on Friday.

I agree, but maybe he and his corrupt family can be bought off although it may take 9 figures.

 

What is interesting is how disciplined Trump has been through all this.  It is a good idea to allow the Democrats to carry the news cycle with their Biden/Harris debacle, and there is not much else out there to push this problem to back burner.  
 

As an aside, has anyone noticed how orange Joe Biden is looking these days?

I feel like you all are being disingenuous. Skewed towards the rich does not mean no one outside the top 1% got a tax cut. If you are happy with your crumbs I think you’ve been hoodwinked. Working people are going to be the people who have to eventually pay the bill.

What bill?

 

According to the CBO, the tax cuts have netted positive income for the Federal Government.
