We are in a different context Valerie - A MAJOR Pandemic - and unfortunately the US is not doing too good on that. Also Trump has lost support in many of his key states, which is not a good thing, combined with a lot of his supporters admitting publicly that they will support his adversary, again that is very bad, the very same people who defended him. Also if you look at HISTORY, not a single President of the United States was re-elected under the conditions of a recession and collapsing economy, whether it is their fault or not. Add in all the news about Trump, yeah I agree that polls are not the final say, but forget about polls, Trump is disliked by MANY due to his unorthodox ways of leading, even though they are effective and give the best results, unfortunately it didn't work during the pandemic - Trump's major key to win would be a strong economy, jobs and markets, he had that right in his pocket, until COVID19 blasted through the US, now what does he have - Will Americans REMEMBER what he did BEFORE the pandemic ? You know human nature well, people vote with emotions - Americans will be pissed off, tired, and will have pandemic and recession on their minds........There is so much now that weighs NEGATIVELY against Trump, even his top supporters admit it. He snagged it in 2016, but that was under different circumstances, now he ran out of wild cards. The only way Trump can win is if Biden makes major mistakes or something bad is discovered about Biden. When you see hard core Republicans go in public and say they will support Biden, that's really bad. Some even support the theory he will lose to a landslide.

Yes in regards to drug testing question. According to Giuliani, doctors have stated Biden
has all the symptoms of dementia. That's why Trump is requesting drug tests. It is also
said that Biden reads word for word off the prompter and even Q & A's.
lol isn't that what the Democrats accused Trump of having too ? This is going to be a very tough card to pull off,
yeah as to reading off a prompter not surprised, he will rely more on his staff than anything else.

What I am saying is a vote for Biden is not a vote for Biden, it is a vote for Harris. She is
a mighty strong cookie, for sure and a good speaker. I don't know, of course, what drugs
Biden takes but to me, he certainly does not appear to be the picture of health. He's 77
years old! Altho Trump is no spring chicken at 74, he is in fact younger and certainly appears
to be healthier and stronger. I kind of laugh when Biden tries to put on a stern face and
strong words.....he just don't cut the mustard at all.
Right, so picking Harris was Biden's play card - what about Trump, what is his ? It's almost ridiculous people are almost blaming the Pandemic on Trump. As to Harris, what more could she bring to the table, what are her experiences ? Let's see Trump a multi billion BUSINESS mogul who KNOWS a thing or two about business and what it takes to succeed, albeit he is off protocol and eccentric - but the world needs a bit more than that.

It's the electoral vote that determines the win for the presidency. Few understand that
or how that works. It's very confusing and I do believe it should be eliminated. Trump
would have lost to Clinton had there not been such a thing as electoral vote.
It would have been a humiliation had he lost to Clinton

BUT remember the context of 2016, Trump was
seen as the celebrity of business, it was a Trump with a clean slate, and besides in 2016 there was no pandemic
or recession......... NOW Trump has a very bad image to many, I don't know that the electoral vote will save him this time. People voting for Trump in 2016 had reasons - NOW, people will scratch their heads and ask "WHY should I vote for Trump". Of course his hardcore supporters (most) will, but the soft voters / the swing voters, unlikely, and even some of his hard supporters are likely not to - those will be the ones who panic sold and cashed out their investments before the big crash, so they are saved from the big crash to come and will betray the very person that made them boat loads of cash.

So it is going to be interesting to see who wins the popular vote vs who wins the electoral
vote.
Well let's face it, Trump is not popular these days - As to electoral that is a big question mark, the other thing
to wonder about is House and Senate.

I am very eager to watch the debate tonight. It should be very interesting to say the very
least. Oh and Chris Wallace is moderating and that should make it even more interesting.
I like Chris Wallace.
ahahah yeah there is likely going to be a lot of moderating - you see Biden is playing it safe - he's quiet, unfortunately he is misleading the public, Trump is up front - Hopefully he sees through that and does not shove foot deeper in mouth, because Biden's diplomacy and calm is making Trump look bad. You know what they say, the quiet ones can be the dangerous ones (or something like that

)
