The Democrats typically lead in national polls because of their dominance in major coastal states like CA and NY even when Republicans win the electoral college. Any Democrat that is trailing in National polls to a republican is in BIG trouble!! You can choose to keep denying it.
shocked Tell me you don't understand the science of polling without telling me you don't understand the science of polling.

Every second of your life is fake 😂
Like you care. 45yo still faking till he makes it. At least you admit it is a joke

But you agree with the literal one below
The fact you believe it was "just" a joke about someone's death, makes it better to you? Degenerates will always be degenerating.
The odd thing is that you didn't even have to comment to this. But you're such a loser you continuously have to link yourself to the most disgusting of behavior.

If believing my life is fake helps you sleep at night, wake up to drive ur Uber and not feel like an ass for not being able to support your kids, have at it. While ur doing that I'll be busy planning my trip to Switzerland/France next month. Enjoy!!

President Biden has been dusting criminal syphilus vonshitzpants at the polls in MOSTLY Battleground states like Pennsylvania, but the media keeps quiet, but when the criminal just gets a 1-point lead from rasmussen polls, CNN won't let us rest.

November won't be close, and criminal trump will lose by 9 million votes. Even third-party spoilers won't put in a dent.
A lot of these polls have a lot of undecided voters (~10%). As the election gets closer, the overwhelming stats of the economy replace the lies, Trump gets convicted and people are forced to make a binary choice, I think those numbers will move in Bidens favor.

It's easy to be dissatisfied with Biden when ur talking about a theoretical race this far out, but when there is a real choice between Biden and a known nut like Trump, people will come to their senses and those undecided will break (I believe heavily) for Biden.

You wanted to have civil conversation and I was already "a maga cultist", albeit a sane one, thank God?
What a holy preview of how civil the conversation woul be.
Exactly why I playfully suggested that this place would have been a lot less chaotic if your mommy had said, "my body my choice."

Shouldn't sound so offensive, after all, you are the most cantankerous supporter here of the pro-choice political party that celebrates abortion as "infrastructure", as "reproductive healthcare" and as a "vote winning issue".
In fact the party that blocked a legislation to compel medical rescue for a pro-choice violence survivor. .

Just thank God your blessed mommy was not woke Left like you, and Baba Left was not President.

Why don't you kill the faux indignation. You "playfully suggested" that someone should be dead. If you want to act like a degenerate, why get upset when someone calls you a degenerate?

You also seem to not understand the concept of "my body my choice" or you wouldn't have written all that nonsense in your post. FYI, pro choice laws have won even in Red States that voted Trump. But, in your mind, it's clearly a woke left issue. Lol.

I was wrong for wishing deathsantis to overtake criminal trump. Ron was so poor and ineffective in his campaign just like his admin in Florida. "Never back down" has chickened out after blowing $130million.
I understand, the hope is that you have two non crazy people running. Unfortunately Desantis decided he was going to try to out crazy Donald Trump. He lost the primary. He screwed Florida. And he probably cost himself any future opportunity of running successful... but Republican primary voters are nuts so who knows.

True. But he did have a ton of money to start. I believe the most in the field. It was a deeply flawed campaign with a deeply flawed candidate. Probably, historically one of the worst run campaigns. I'm sure there will be stories about it in the upcoming days. But his political consultants did became rich.

If DeSantis is in a primary with Trump. Desantis can not and will not beat Trump. I've said it here first.
1.)Trump supporters are generally mentally unstable. Reason and rationality don't enter their ear. Look at those on this forum. It's a religion to them. They live in a world of make believe and cognitive dissonance. They will walk over coals to vote for him. Though a smaller percent of the electorate, in a primary enthusiasm is what matters.
2.)DeSantis is weird and not charismatic. The DeSantis image you see daily is controlled and manufactured. Just watch his debate with Crist to get a glimpse of who he really is. Trump will eat his lunch in a Republican primary debate.
On what seems the eve of the end of DeSantis's presidential campaign, I'm bumping my prediction from Nov. 2022.

Seeing, after getting called out for lying in your last post, you've moved on to more racist-adjacent nuttery.
Given this is probably 4+ month old, did this pop up on your Fox News nut-job feed or were you trolling right wing youtube videos between Uber rides?

Serious question though. Giving that you have 4 children out of wedlock,with your Baby Momma, who you don't have custody of, do you think you are also keeping the stereotype, you talk about so often, of black men alive?

This is why I have such disdain for people like Basilico and Benalvino. I can give some grace to older people with racist inclinations who grew up in the climate of racism (racist parents). But for Africans who live in a place where everyone looks like them, who have never known racism, who choose to be useful idiots and choose to use the vocabulary of southern white racists, thus given them cover, no grace.

I always wonder why stupid people like you make this clearly intellectual dishonest argument. Do you think people are equally as stupid as you and will buy it or is it that you hate and can't rationalize your support of the current Republican party and want to try to tear down Democrats as well.

This is simple. Go to a Democratic and a Republican rally. Count the people waving Confederate flags. You know the flag of the people that wanted to keep slaves and was defeated. The Rally of the party with the most Confederate flags is the party of racists and the party with members who are aligned with those people that fought for slavery.

The 3/5 compromise was later effectively stricken when the 14th amendment was passed after those White Southerners' (from the old Democratic Party who moved to the current Republican party and vote for Trump) desire to keep slaves led to civil war.

How can a DA caught stealing and doing improper acts in office blame it on her race ? This race things is becoming a daily joke all over the world.
First it was, she was dating a gang member(which was untrue), now this. I can't comment on all the facts until they come out but If you are minority who has ever worked in the US, disparate treatment based on race is not an uncommon occurrence no matter how up the food chain you are.

And honestly with all Republican wrapped BS, this new issue seems to make 0 sense. Granted, if she did give a position to an unqualified romantic partner it was stupid. But what is the argument? She hired someone unqualified to prosecute Trump, so he should be fired and replaced with someone more qualified? With all things Trump, it's always a lot of smears that make no sense to thinking people.

Well said.
The democrats of JFK would never have dreamed of abolishing the electoral college.
Marxists pretending to be democrats want power forever.
They have as Stalin would say useful idiots like this Harvard one to achieve their plans.
MentalCase98:
It’s funny how so called Harvard educated dunces can’t comprehend the reason for the electoral college. The founding fathers of America were so much smarter than any liberal lunatic masquerading as an intellectual on this forum.
This is what I keep talking about. People who have 0 understanding of the things they speak, speak about them with such authority and are always wrong about them. The electoral college was a compromise to appease slave holding Southern States because the Southern states didn't want to give those slaves the right to vote and thus would be disadvantaged if it were a direct popular vote.

What is surprising (well not so given the self hating black people here), is that Africans in Nigeria are the ones applauding this system.

“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it".

Behind Madison’s statement were the stark facts: The populations in the North and South were approximately equal, but roughly one-third of those living in the South were held in bondage. Because of its considerable, nonvoting slave population, that region would have less clout under a popular-vote system. The ultimate solution was an indirect method of choosing the president, one that could leverage the three-fifths compromise, the Faustian bargain they’d already made to determine how congressional seats would be apportioned. With about 93 percent of the country’s slaves toiling in just five southern states, that region was the undoubted beneficiary of the compromise, increasing the size of the South’s congressional delegation by 42 percent. When the time came to agree on a system for choosing the president, it was all too easy for the delegates to resort to the three-fifths compromise as the foundation. The peculiar system that emerged was the Electoral College.

This is the thing that gets me about this thread. You decided to come at me for not having a wife or children.

You lie about everything Slyfoxx.

But that seems to be a constant refrain from you and your people in this thread. It's like Benalvino... someone who has children out of wedlock criticizing people who have children out of wedlock. It's mind blowing hypocrisy. And I'll be here to point out that hypocrisy.

If you think a child and wife are important in life, get off Nairaland and focus on getting them. Stop worrying about what I have. Because your jealousy is evident.

It was impressive the advantages the daughter has(legacies, top US boarding schools etc..) Yet her parents still invested this amount of time in their applications.

It was mildly annoying, even cute, when we all thought you were some young fool in his early 20’s, but now that we know you’re a senior man it’s honestly just laughable and downright pitiable. I no longer even feel that desire to go back and forth with you because I genuinely feel sorry for you.

You have a mate already sending his child to uni and you have nothing to show for your own life at this age asides Bragging about sleeping on his couch and helping his daughter do her homework while you’re at it

Hahahahahahahahaha

What's funny is that you and I are the same age (you have been exposed here already). Late 30's. Yet, I have my list of accomplishments and you? You are the the troll king of Nairaland. I have an accomplished g/f, you don't and a stable of women who I could get married to if I asked them today. I have an accomplished career, you don't. I have cars, properties, money and travel the world. You live with your mommie who sends you an allowance for transport. I have a circle of very successful friends, you don't. Again, you talk based on some imaginary person you've made up in your mind. Isn't it time to grow up? What's funny, you talk as if a wife and child is an accomplishment. Are you married? Do you have children? The answer is no. So, by the things YOU VALUE and your own words, you are failure at life.

I think the way the country is going the electoral college has to be addressed. The minority of Americans who control the majority of land shouldn't be dictating policy to the majority of Americans. They can keep the 2 senators per state to give them a say but allow the Presidency to be decided by popular vote.

Unfortunately, the bible thumpers are far more reliable voters for Team Red.

Trump is a Clinton liberal.
He has a more nuanced position on most of these cultural issues than he's given credit for, but your side amplifies the crazies.
Which to be fair is the politically astute thing to do.
Agree with you for the most part here. Except the part where it's the Dems who amplifies the crazies. The Republican party right now is crazy. Trump plays to the crazies because they are the ones who come out to vote in midterms and to caucus in freezing weathers. Trump wasn't/isn't viscerally a MAGA, as most sensible Republicans aren't (if you were to ask them while under truth septum), but as do all faux populists he has his finger on his electorate and will amplify whatever nonsense to get elected. Just look at all the Republicans and what they said before Trump was President and then now. Or even immediately after Jan. 6th and then now.

LordAdam16:
Suburban women don't care about MAGA.

Good points. But I'd quibble a little here. Suburban woman do care and they viscerally hate Trump and all he is. The GOP went too far with their assault on abortion and woman's rights. They've went so far that I'm sure some suburban dads will come out to support/protect their daughters rights to choice/life. This can't be understated. Check out the midterms and every election where abortion/choice has been on the ballot. Even in Red States. It's a unquestionable loser. And the more talk of national/federal abortion bans, and more stories of states rather having woman die than have a medical procedure to remove a fetus that won't survive, the more they will lose. That's why Trump was desperately trying to equivocate on it.

1.) The VP candidate hardly moves the needle (well a bad one could hurt you, fist big bad decision). Esp. in the age of a closely divided electorate. It may help enforce and turnout a group in your coalition (Kamala Harris and the Black Greek life), but it won't paper over ideological differences.

2.) Suburban woman are not stupid. By definition, they are wealthier and better educated (well if you understand what the suburbs are). The GOP has been losing suburban women/soccer moms since Mr. Pussy grabber got elected and now with the shift of the Supreme Court and the abortion ruling, they have ratcheted up the crazy and lost more. There was a recent case where Texas sued to make sure a woman couldn't have an abortion that would save her life, even though the fetus she was carrying was going to die. The Texas Supreme Court denied her access to the abortion as well. Trump's base are the uneducated (as evidenced by this forum, despite the recent nonsense about his resurgence amongst the educated). Check the crosstabs from the exit polls in the Iowa caucus. He spilt the college educated vote, and won the not college educated vote by 67% (I believe) and that was in the Republican party. The better ability people have to understand the GOP policies, the less they will vote for them. I expect women to come out in force against the GOP as evidenced by the last few elections. Trump would be chasing ghosts on this.

3.) He may choose a woman, but it won't help with his suburban woman problem. He will most likely pick a woman, but one who aligns with his MAGA policies and his base. He may make mouth to suburban woman, but will most likely try to gin up his base as he's always done. And his base are the uneducated and men. And to even argue Kristi Noem would help with suburban woman is silly talk. Having two people credibly accused of infidelity on the same ticket should be fun though.

You are the one behaving like a hooker here 🤣 don't change the topic
Lets, be honest here. What do u call a woman who lives in Nigeria, bleeps someone much older than her as a teenager, gets pregnant by them and then doesn't even have the respect and self worth to get married? Then does it 4 more times? You call her your baby momma, but there other names for her. Odd, given ur background, you want to open this door.

How many Uber rides did u do today? Enjoy.

You already saw that it is eat. You can remain a dunce 😎 I am okay with that
Of course. You took the time to mask out "Eats", you say it's "Eats" but won't repost the unmasked version. Yup. Makes 100% sense.
Are you on a trip right now?
