I will give three examples of people who could vote Republican/Trump. First the older people who The Frog mentioned who feel that their savings/shares will do better giving them a better life style. Secondly, the few Russians I chat to at gym, who hate any form of centralized control and government...

I've been doing this by trying to explain that when it comes to politics, it is normal, healthy even, that reasonable people have wildly differing opinions. There's nothing immoral or wrong with that. At this stage, there's really nothing left to be said on the matter. Either you're for pluralism o...

From the New European again ? One rather suspects it will be fronted by Michael Gove or some sacrificial junior minister. All based on what the EU has already put into the public domain so trying to trash the source is, well .... facile nonsense Everything the EU says good.... :lol: That's nowhere ...

I suppose, for me the important thing was to have a strong America to give a moral backbone to World Order. Obviously, this has been seriously eroded over the years, starting with the Iran-Contra affair andprobably well before that. GW Bush's adventures in Iraq were also morally indefensible, altho...

Another deep frustration is the unreliability of the polling. Take the key battleground of Arizona - On Wednesday CNBC had Biden at +7 on Thursday Gravis had Trump +4. Given the normal statistical errors of around 3-4% for these things then one/tother/both have a problem with their polling. The Eco...

The pardon stats are interesting 963 (Obama) 229 (Clinton) 100 (Bush) 36 (Trump) 20 (John Adams) 16 (George Washington) Trump third lowest. Where did you get that from? it sounds pretty implausible.

Any comments on Trump commuting Roger Stone sentence? I think it's been established that it's well within Trump's gift to pardon who he likes and there's nothing anyone can do about it. There are obviously limits to the Presidential Pardon, but within those limits Trump has free reign. (the miss-sp...

The comparison was about covid deaths. Mr basic thought.

And your point is?

I give up. On another thread, you went after a poster because you suggested that he said he knew what other people were thinking. That ended up with you calling me a "nasty old cvnt".

Lovely lorry Park for drivers to sit and reflect on all the winning. Nice. I remember when the suggestion of lorry parks were just one part of "Project Fear".

You realise you can support one aspect of a organisation but not the other. People support black lives getting a fair chance, not marxism. Who cares what the founders of BLM otherwise think?

One of the core issues is whether the rights of the mother over rule the rights of the unborn child. Not a medical issue really, more of a moral one. Trying to deduce whether the founders had a view on that is difficult. About as difficult as deciding whether they wanted the entire political system...
