Wins Iowa and sets a new record by winning by the biggest margin ever in that State.
The previous record was 12.8 points - last I saw, he was ahead by over 30 points.

But, only 50%. The others could band together and present anti trump conservatives with a viable choice. Then, it might not be so easy.

Funny how the left agrees with the legal system in Trump's case. I've been reading about the Horizon situation. The courts don't always get it right. I'd prefer to get back to center. The U.S. is messing the whole world. I was reading a Pro Biden article about the U.S doing better under democrats. More people might be buying things but with welfare money. The U.S. keeps borrowing money. Money that could be used to improve other countries. Why do you think so many migrants?

Billionaires pay no taxes what so ever. Yet, ordinary people buying things is somehow a bad thing. I guess you would rather see ultra billionaires continue to get rich and pay no taxes while the poor starve ?
Republicans talk about law and order...except when one of theirs in on trial. Breaking the law means punishment, no matter who it is. Center would mean no bias, even if it's an ex president.
America has never been center. It's always Left vs. Right. Both parties fight against a centrist party existing because they know they both would lose.

I'm sure Billionaires pay some tax. Who's to say the people running the government can do a better job. The U.S. is Trillions in debt. It's the tax laws, Gates, Buffet Ms. Scott give to charities. Many have a pledge to give away most of their wealth. What if they get taxed more and give less to charity. The U.S. is selfish. We are in major debt (which means we owe Trillions of dollars to creditors) Many countries are worse off than us. The money that was loaned to U.S. could have been used to improve their lives. Both parties for hundreds of years have been spending money like drunken sailors. I live in Pittsburgh. Carnegie gave his money to charity. I can't image what Pittsburgh would be without his decision. Would the U.S. taxes instead buy $200 toilet seats?

Charities don't pay for police, fire nor emergency services. You can defend the rich all you want. But, ask yourself: what are the rich doing for you ?
By the way, do you know who the creditors are ? The federal government !
When they authorize billions to the department of defense (for example), they don't use all the money for bombs and missiles. They take a chunk of the money and buy T Bills with it. So when interest payments are made to the debt, some of that goes right to the cabinet departments. It's a giant ponzi scheme. And of course , that money goes right in the pockets of those in charge. This is also why they have no interest in paying the debt off. They want to keep the golden goose laying those golden eggs.
But, you go right ahead and support the rich. They depend on the poor fighting with each other so no one notices how the rich are taking advantage of them.

You posted "Billionaires pay no taxes what so ever.". What so ever. You know that isn't true. Why are you being like a Trumper? (in that you had to make up crap, like billionaires pay no taxes). There isn't a need to make up BS to get your points across. |

None of the previous 4 posts have anything to do with Trump. |

I hope Trump wins. Covid wasn't his fault and messed up the jobs.

I have always found Trump a repulsive individual, long before he ran for president the first time. It bewilders me how so many people would pin their misguided hopes on him to be their hero. I think it's quite sad, really, that there are no stronger contenders emerging from the Republican Party. There are more wholesome conservatives in the country who know how to lead with integrity and without constantly antagonizing others.
But if I were to dust off my crystal ball, I'd say the following will happen: Trump will lose by a narrow margin again, and it will be a very painful defeat for the Republicans, who will get angrier and nastier towards the liberals (if that's even possible).
Biden may not make it through another term, and if he dies in office or becomes incapacitated, facilitating Harris to take the reigns, then the conservatives will amp their attacks on female leadership. Incidentally, I have never understood why conservative women go along with the oppressive cavemen attitudes of their conservative men. Those are the ones who need the greatest wake up call in my opinion.

When Donald Trump was on The Apprentice, I never watched it because I didn't like him - the way he looked with his hair and face, and the way he spoke with that blunt New York-ese.
But after he began his run for President I did watch him. And paid attention.
I've seen many Presidents in my life. President Trump is the best of them all, in my opinion. He's exactly what was needed in 2016 - and he's still exactly what's needed. More than ever - this may be our last chance to save the United States.
In my opinion, the Democrat Party is corrupt beyond redemption. It's eradication is badly needed. It's replacement by an uncorrupted alternative is paramount - a Party that strives for public good rather than strictly for power and privilege for its own sake.

There isn't a need to make up BS to get your points across. I was correct. Just not every year. Some years they might pay 3%
You thought this was BS ? When Mitt Romney ran for president, he didn't reveal his tax returns until the day before the election because we all would see he hadn't paid any taxes the prior 7 years through some sort of church fund. That of course never made it to the sound bytes of local news. This happens all the time whether you believe it or not.
They have everything to do with trump. He will always take care of himself and his billionaire friends. Then have the poor people fighting amongst themselves so that they won't notice until it's too late. And on top of that he's on a revenge tour. He will use his executive power to attack anyone who stands in his way. He has clearly stated he wants to stay in power past what the constitution says.
One thing I will say about trump, he tells you exactly what he wants and what he's going to do. And his followers will obey, regardless of how they get nothing in return.

I wouldn't be surprised if they start to over emphasize Harris' VP role over the next few months. Especially is Biden begins to falter in public. Let's face it, we don't have much of a choice.

2 days until the New Hampshire Primary.
Unless Haley pulls off an improbable upset, Trump's almost certain victory should clear the field going forward.
