Re: 2020 Election

"Reform," "training" and "improvement" requires a lot more resources and a lot more...

Agreed. I couldn't believe his handlers let him start giving virus press conferences again. Political malpractice.

Re: General Election - 2020 edition

If it becomes legalised, there will still be a market for the illegal dealers, doing bootleg, because taxes etc are likely going to make it unaffordable (or unaffordable for the quantity desired) by...

Re: Italian beach resorts

San Remo. Don't know if it will deliver "hustle and bustle" but there's a historic and see-and-be-seen casino, a quaint old town, and mountains etc nearby.

Re: 2020 Election

Democrats believe government exists to help people. Republicans believe it exists to help business.

That's a quote from Rush Limbaugh actually.

Re: 2020 Election

Joe Biden leads Donald Trump 51-44% in North Carolina, according to the latest NBC News/Marist Poll.

If the poll is accurate and stays that way, the rout will be on.

Re: 2020 Election

One other thing - it will hurt Biden if the media shapes a narrative that his VP pick, whoever it is, is some kind of president-in-waiting because of Biden's age. Biden is the headline on the ticket,...

Re: 2020 Election

Correct. Clinton never polled as well as Biden currently is. Clinton occasionally had pops up to about an 8 point lead or so but never consistently.

The question is, have the polling companies...

Yeah, wow. I had forgotten about that. WaPo wouldn't have "settled" if things were going well for them.

Yep. 300 applications for every 1 position. For an ordinary wage in some fly-over or drive-through small town. That you usually have to spend years on a virtual poverty level income first, to even...

Re: General Election - 2020 edition

Well, MMP was endorsed by a popular referendum in 1993 and then retained in 2011.
