You didn't have a prayer Mike...

It's reported that former vice-president Mike Pence dropped out of the race to win the Republican presidential nomination today. He's quoted as saying: “After much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today."
Sorry Mike, you didn't have a prayer to begin with...
While many think you shouldn't have tried for a campaign, being at the bottom of the polls and never gaining traction. This decision is months overdue.

So, I'll be awaiting a blog laying out why he is such a bad choice for 2024,
and pls bring some substance, not who he slept with 28 years ago.

I gave you the appropriate response, now you want to play it down?
Chatillion, do you want me to answer to this above you say?
Like the man should lead be example and all that, yes... well I have one better one
for you who will be just up your ally then: Mike Pence. handshake
The answer to this is simple...The amount of money needed to run a campaign..And, the DNC and RNC that have way too much power.

Also, corporate donations and special interest donations...

The average Joe does not have a chance.
Trump's Broken Promises.

1. He said coronavirus would “go away without a vaccine.” You bought it. But it didn’t. While other countries got the pandemic under control and avoided large numbers of fatalities, the virus has killed more than 170,000 Americans, and that number is still climbing.

2. He said he won’t have time to play golf if elected president. But he has made more than 250 visits to his golf clubs since he took office—a record for any president—including more trips during the pandemic than meetings with Dr. Fauci. The total financial cost to America? More than $136 million.

3. He said he would repeal the Affordable Care Act, and replace it with something “beautiful.” It didn’t happen. Instead, seven million Americans have lost their health insurance since he took office. He has asked the Supreme Court to strike down the law in the middle of a global pandemic with no plan to replace it.

4. He said he’d cut your taxes, and that the super-rich like him would pay more. He did the opposite. By 2027, the richest 1 percent will have received 83 percent of the Trump tax cut and the richest 0.1 percent, 60 percent of it. But more than half of all Americans will pay more in taxes.

5. He said corporations would use their tax cuts to invest in American workers. They didn’t. Corporations spent more of their tax savings buying back shares of their own stock than increasing workers’ wages.

6. He said he would boost economic growth by 4 percent a year. Nope. The economy stalled, and unemployment has soared to the highest levels since the Great Depression. Just over half of working-age Americans are employed—the worst ratio in 70 years.

7. He said he wouldn’t “cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.” His latest budget includes billions in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

8. He promised to be “the voice” of American workers. He hasn’t. His administration has stripped workers of their rights, repealed overtime protections, rolled back workplace safety rules, and turned a blind eye to employers who steal their workers’ wages.

9. He promised that the average American family would see a $4,000 pay raise because of his tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. But nothing trickled down. Wages for most Americans have barely kept up with inflation.

10. He promised that anyone who wants a test for COVID will get one. But countless Americans still can’t get a test.

11. He said hydroxychloroquine protects against coronavirus. No way. The FDA revoked its emergency authorization due to the drug’s potentially lethal side effects.

12. He promised to eliminate the federal deficit. He has increased the federal deficit by more than 60 percent.

13. He said he would hire “only the best people.” He has fired a record number of his own Cabinet and White House picks, and then called them “whackos,” “dumb as a rock,” and “not mentally qualified.” Six of them have been charged with crimes.

14. He promised to bring down the price of prescription drugs and said drug companies are “getting away with murder.” They still are. Drug prices have soared, and a company that got federal funds to develop a drug to treat coronavirus is charging $3,000 a pop.

15. He promised to revive the struggling coal industry and bring back lost coal mining jobs. The coal industry has continued to lose jobs as clean energy becomes cheaper.

16. He promised to help American workers during the pandemic. But 80 percent of the tax benefits in the coronavirus stimulus package have gone to millionaires and billionaires. And at least 21 million Americans have lost extra unemployment benefits, with no new stimulus check to fall back on.

Do I need to continue?
Trump was against globalization...meaning Keep America Strong...

Biden is very for it....which means weakening America...The Green Agenda..etc...

When Trump says Hamas is smart or any other leader...he does not mean it as a compliment...

He means it as how the Biden administration underestimates them...

Biden is trying to keep both sides of his party’s support...

Meaning the Jewish Democrats...and the young Democrats...

With the current circumstances with Israel...he will lose support from both sides...

As far as those of you who think Russia is in Kiev to rid it of Nazis...not true...Russia has a very low population of Jews...the events at the airport yesterday, should tell that truth.

The turn of events on October 7..will determine who is elected...
You are right on many of those things...

Having said that...there has never been as much protesting in the streets...

The amount of Jewish hatred is mind boggling...

Crime is on the rise....

Most of the politicians...just do not care...both sides...

Fact is we are very divided...

I never thought I would ever see people supporting Hamas...

BTW

Biden promised a kinder country...if anything, it is more divided...and anything goes.

It bothers me that people remain silent...about Israel...and, it is now on our streets...

Verified reports came out today that Hamas burned a baby in an oven as her mother listened to it suffer...

Also, one of the hostages skull was found and her parents have been notified.
Another issue that is understood but not given the emphasis it deserves is that of Trump's mental decline - something he time and again claims about Biden. Yet this article make interesting reading on thisd exact topic:

Knowing you are not a reader here is a potted extract
@Riz. 4 of 16 is about corona.

I was more interested in what he did "wrong", less about what he did not do... eh wrong.

Otherwise thanks for the copy paste. handshake
The very fact you missed that Trump lies continuously is why your source of information is flawed.
Unemployment stats.

US: 3.4%
Russia: 3.7% ?
Germany: 5.4%
France: 7%
Uk: 4.3%
Australia: 3.6%
Philippines 4.4%
Ireland 4.2%

Ireland is said to have almost full employment at c.4% so I presume other countries are the same. The reasons are obvious.

The US probably has Full employment.

Note: most countries have between 50% and 70% employment rate, US has 62%. The reasons for this are also obvious.

Beware of obfuscation.
Trump is pretty honest compared to the norm.
The other guys lie as a matter of profession, you could say their job is to lie.
But they do it so well that it goes unnoticed on you.

That's where I stand.
Good luck on changing that by a few more 'fact' you found online by some Trump hater.

bouquet
The above to Riz.
Why do I bother....? I don't know... rolling on the floor laughing
Chat, put a shotgun to my head if I come back in this thread will ya'... help

Let's vote for Mike... laugh
Let's vote for Mike...

Write-in votes are allowed. I suspect he will receive a few dozen. laugh
Are you asking for more proof that Trump was the most prolific liar in the history of the United States of America?

In his first 100 days, President Trump had 29 statements assessed by PolitiFact (17 false) and 4 statements from President Biden (2 false).

This proves your statement "Trump is pretty honest compared to the norm" is, in fact, a blatant lie!

My "facts" do not come from Trump haters, they come from respected credible news sources, unlike your sources that are heavily right wing and lie to cover and support a criminal.
I love you.

Do politicians regularly lie? Yes.
Do politicians regularly break campaign promises? Yes.
Do the people always believe what politicians tell them? No, they are always sceptical.
Do politicians appear to put on an act when addressing the people? Yes, quite often.

Are you always deceived by politicians because they regularly break campaign promises and lie to you? If you are then you are naive and one of the few.

Politicians lie regularly. They tell you things you want to hear, it's all part of the act. Other people that lie a lot are lawyers. We don't expect these people to tell the truth.

So, politicians don't actually lie in the true sence of the word, because they are well known for lying and you are not deceived. Wake up and enjoy the coffee coffee
One difference I see is Trump's MAGA followers cannot (or don't want to) see through the lies.
Mexico paying for the wall is a good example.
That was pure bravado. I bet he got a rapturous response from the audience for that one.

Lets see.

Ehmm.... yes those Trump lies ay'...
Pay for the wall. What did he have in again mind Chat.
Was it tollroad or import taxes or...ehmm. what was the model again?
Remind me.
yea just sweap the places of again and mind-
so seriously what was the idea?, I forgot.
Again, there is no amount of fact or information regarding Trump that will change your mind. So why bother discussing it?
