Well put. Very persuasive to many folks. The dumbing down of the American people.

The people see it. It is why long-standing Republicans are fleeing Trump.

I'll take your well thought out and original comments as gospel truth. Thank you. And keep up your flow of original thinking. Things none of us have heard. Not even, I presume, the media, since you don't regurgitate media messaging.

Funny original thinking for a minion without any!

Wait . . . let me follow the chain of thought here . . . your dumbed down comment was a response to what I said . . . and the people see it . . . that is they see that what I said is a pile of bull#^&#^&#^&#^&. . . and that pile is why long-standing Republicans are fleeing Trump?

Damn . . . I didn't realize I had so much influence on long-standing Republicans.

Check with Spence. He said the people see my "pile of bull#^&#^&#^&#^&." And that's why long-standing Republicans are leaving Trump.

BTW, my mother died three years ago. She was 101. And even with her dementia, she saw things more clearly than you. But thanks for mentioning her so often. She was quite a resourceful and independent woman.

Oh I see right thru Trump’s BS years back, but some are a bit slow to catch up or refuse as they see the alternative as offense, but glad to hear mom lived a long full life!

Thanks for your thought about my mom. As for Trump's BS years back, it's water under the bridge. Not many politicians Trump's age have a BS free past years back.

Nor do I see any Democrat doing anything better than Trump on the economy nor even the virus. All they have done about either is demonize, complain, accuse, lie, and try to gaslight the public into voting against Trump rather than voting for them. They have not proposed anything helpful. Voting for them is a fool's errand, unless you want to replace our constitutional system with an unhampered totally regulatory system.

That is the discussion we should be having, rather than discussing which creep is the best one to vote for.

You forget who captains the ship and controls the senate, Trump and his reactive as opposed to proactive leadership has this death toll and economy in a death spiral.

Well . . . I don't want to go back to that captain of the ship meme which we already discussed a while back. Suffice it to say, I don't believe he is the captain of the ship of state. I don't even subscribe to the notion that our country and its way of governing is at all like a ship and the way it is captained. He is captain of the executive branch of the federal government. No more. The mistake, that has been deliberately planted in our sometimes mindless skulls, that such an analogy exists, leads us into the very way of thinking that is suitable for transforming our limited government into an unlimited one.

As for the rest, sometimes it is necessary to react. Sometimes it is necessary to act. He has done both, when needed in terms of the virus and the economy. And he can only do so as President with limited powers, not as the sometimes wished for autocrat who must be responsible for everything. And the economy is surprisingly doing better than expected under the circumstances.
