But not perhaps in the way you think it is cool.

Weld is a competent and functional adult.   Might be harder to beat.

I like the confidence, Barton

Confident in '16 as well, no doubt, eh?

Interesting talk about Minnesota now being in play for Trump.

Trump could lose Michigan and Pennsylvania - and still win if he carried the other states he won plus MIN.

(Trump lost MIN by just 40K votes after Romney had lost by about 190K.

The media was in Bill Clinton's pocket!

LOL.

So everyone here wants to face Trump

Cool

I didn't comment on the horse race question because it was dumb and beside the point.  To the degree there was one, the point was that even hardcore Republicans and past Trump supporters/enablers are recognizing after the last few weeks the impending disaster that four more years of Trump would mean for this country.

"Who else would you want to face" is irrelevant.  The time for the GOP to stand up for American values was 2015.  The GOP is Trump's party now, and he will be their nominee.

Talk from whom, kiidcarter8?

Trump has been partaking in that "interesting talk" since he started a twitter fight with Representative Omar.  But any talk of Minnesota "now" being in play is based on how close the election was in 2016, and not any recent polling:

And how did Minnesota Republicans do in 2018?

Yeah.

I have zero desire to argue this, as the statement that the media was pro-Clinton in 2016 is so laughable that it really only deserves an "LOL."  I will just say this:

Media mentions of Hillary Clinton's private email server far outstripped coverage of any other aspect of her campaign.  By one study, it took 69 days for newspapers to grant her policy positions the same coverage that her emails got in 9.  In a roundtable interview that was supposed to be centered around foreign policy, Matt Lauer spent the first nine minutes grilling Clinton over those emails. 

All for good reason, right?  Classified info, and all that?

But then we hear that as "president" Trump is doing business over unsecured cellphones.  In fact, months into office he handed classified info directly to Russians!  Security clearences were forced through for administration officials that should not have received them.  Multiple advisors use personal email to conduct state business including his dauhter and brother in-law, who also, by the way, converses with foreign adversaries over WhatsApp.  While Clinton complied with subpeonas to turn over private emails, Trump & Co. have refused to do the same.

And how much has a media that was completely obsessed with internet security protocol as the #1 issue covered these problems once Trump became "president?"  What are the chances that any of this will be considered an issue going in to 2020?


Yeah, that media, so in Bill Clinton's pocket.

LOL.

Nice fictional revision.
But, of course, even a clueless media can’t cover for a candidate who insults voters.

What Red writes is not designed to make sense. It is scripted to sound stupid and evoke the noises of a feral hog. Logical consistency and relation to fact are entirely beside the point. They are never on his radar.
