In theory, assuming he can remember how to do more than make up a stupid nickname, followed by a combination of incessant bragging about stuff that may or may not be true AND whining about how unfairly he's been treated. He SHOULD be able to do more than that, but after that being the majority of his speeches for 3+ years, who knows if that's his new ceiling or if he's still capable of raising his game.

You do know he's number 1 on Facebook right now, don't you?

Whatever.  You know full well that until early March, Trump said the virus was another flu and was totally under control.  He's not alone in this, but don't try to act like establishing a task force is equal to him even acknowledging the problem.  There are task forces for everything.  As we can see, the task force for this didn't result in anything.

 

You've followed the right wing media personality playbook on this thing to a tee.  

Blame some Chinese lab

Compare it to colds and flu

Blame the media and democrats

Pivot 180 and embrace Trump's current status of taking it seriously and denying you or he had ever done anything but that.

 

Think for yourself for a change.  Trying to mimic all of Trump's crazy ass antics and make it look like it's all part of a logical plan isn't working.

Looks like Bernie is officially dropping out. 

So, now we are offically down to Trump v. Biden.

I remember a while back Trump questioning whether he would even participate in the debates. He's probably looking forward to sharing the stage with Biden. He'll eat his lunch.

 

Dems are desperately Biden does not have to speak publicly in any way, shape, or form.  The longer covid19 lingers, the better his chance, which is incredibly sad.

No point in Bernie continuing; covid19 is bringing 35% unemployment instead of Bernie doing it.

Sums up Bernie's two presidential campaigns in a nutshell.  Good riddance to that loser.

Keep bowing down. LOL

 

 

Covid19 deaths may not even reach flu season deaths, despite covid sometimes being listed as cause of death even though underlying health conditions may be the cause of death.  Obviously, it is still much too early to call.  One thing is for sure: fuck China.

I wonder how much he got paid this time?  Maybe they promised him the first dose of the vaccine.

Most people who die of cancer, flu, heart disease, etc have underlying conditions.   

 

Coronavirus deaths are going to reach whatever level they do - and that is with the measures currently being taken.  I just don't get flu death comparison.  Did we say at 9/11, "10-20 times this many people die every year from the flu - we shouldn't overreact."?  Of course not.

The 9/11 analogy does not make any sense to me.  Apples and oranges.

All I know is I won't be voting for Trump or Biden.  Maybe I'll just leave that one blank.

Cuban could be great, or really bad.  Because I think he'd actually try to be a POTUS, as opposed to someone we call President that just gives speeches.  Cuban doesn't strike me as someone who needs to hear himself talk, nor as someone who seeks media attention - the press wouldn't know what to do with themselves after Trump and Obama.

A few things:

1.  Our current person in the oval office has a laundry list of things that he has gotten done as president..more than most.

2.  If you dont think Cuban isnt worried about Cuban....you dont know him.

1. LOL

2. He didn't say Cuban doesn't care about himself.  He said he doesn't care about hearing himself talk or seeing himself in the media.

Do you know him so well?  How?

1. In your opinion. In many people's opinion, not so. 

2. When did you and Cuban get to know each other so we'll.

Here I thought the 2016 election was prime for a 3rd party candidate to actually make waves....but swapping in Senile Joe sets up the 2020 election even better.

I think it's too late for Cuban in 2020.  Believe he's a libertarian, though, so it will be very interesting if he does decide to run this year or 2024.

Cuban has never set up an official platform, so I don't know where he leans on every issue, but just following thru the years he definitely has a libertarian mindset.  I'd vote for him, but I get the sense he wants nothing to do with the position.  If he ever ran, I don't think it would ever be third party.  As spock mentioned, he also wants to protect himself and running third party would most likely just screw over the GOP and give the election to the Democrats who have gone pretty far left.  Cuban has said in the past he used to be a Republican and he wants to still be one, but the current GOP won't let him, because they are no longer what they say they are (he is not wrong). I think we would most likely see Cuban run as a Republican if he ever ran.

Comparing a terrorist attack to a flu virus is asinine.

Comparing a flu like virus to a flu virus actually makes common sense.

 

You KNOW that, but are just being obtuse to mess with QO.

Bernie endorsing Biden...  Do these people have no principles?
