@Saul, you said your wife is a physician. Does she really only want to be paid CMS rates for everyone she treats? Remember, Harris wants no private health insurance.

Well it certainly helps that she is not 78…and just because she is fit to serve does not mean she will be any good at the job. Trump in 2016 was also fit to serve. Now, I do not believe that he has the temperament or fitness to do the job.

I’m 79, a Licensed and Registered Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor, I am owner and chief design engineer in my $3,000,000+/year consulting firm and own/run three real estate development companies. I believe that I am significantly more intelligent, cognizant and mentally able then a relative high percentage of those running our government and there are many people my age that are just as “sharp” or “sharper”. Your comment “it helps that she is not 78” shows a high degree of age bias, if not just plain ignorance.

Are you joking? The US was in much better hands when Trump was president than it ever was under Biden. Harris was the VP and could not even address the one job that Biden gave her. So we can alk agree that Trump is obnoxious. So what? He still has a greater ability to see what needs to be done and talent to do it. Harris has been in public office for many years and has never achieved anything. She has flipped on so many issues that the only thing we know is that whatever she decides to do it will be wrong for the country, until she tries to back-peddle it and make it worse. The office of POTUS is far to important to say, "Ooh, I don't want to invite him over for dinner because he's mean, so I'll vote for someone else who is demonstrably incompetent because she seems to be more fun."

I believe that he is wholly unfit for the Presidency. With regard to policy, my main opposition is his foreign policy, specifically as it relates to Ukraine, and what I perceive as his willingness to sell out our allies. Moreover, I do not trust him to not flip on any policy position of his that I do support.

Like the Democrats haven't sold out every ally we have, including Israel? How would you like to be in Taiwan right now with the Chinee flying overhead and Biden mumbling "don't. We got their, you know, the thing!"

Biden was a disaster, everyone agrees. Harris was there with him. Her record, or lack of it, is clear for all to see, there are no highlights in it. She clearly has some serious social issues. And her running mate Walz is as un-stellar, not a leader.
Trump is strong, he is experienced, he is rough and tough, he is no saint. His running mate is stable, young, strong and highly intelligent. He has little experience, but a good leadership background.

The world is on fire and heating up. The USA is the world leader.

Who do you choose?

As there must be major happenings going on, about the arrests of the S/M kings. The powers too be can't stand this much light that self thinkers already knew about, but the public in general could not grasp, the game is changing. Guessing he believes if Trump gets in, his life will take a turn for the worst, hence coming clean now,...?

 

[Saul]

I hear this a lot about Russia and Ukraine and how it will be all Trumps fault if Russia prevails in the end because of some badly chosen words some time back. Frankly I think Trump could bring this to a close if given the chance but I am not sure he will be given the chance even if elected.

I think Russia may prevail in the end regardless who is president. But here is a question most dont ask. At what point in our support of Ukraine do we pull back? Do we keep fueling the effort with money and goods? Putin is nothing if not stubborn and trying to envision him just admitting defeat, turning tail and going home is real hard to imagine.
What if that isnt enough? US boots on the ground? Advisory capacity? Starting to sound familiar, MACV anyone?
It’s all well and good to sit here with no risk and just keep sending someone else's money and guns "over there", but if that isnt doing the job, what then?

As I see it, the gravest threat to America is China, and they are using Ukraine as an opportunity to see our level of commitment to our allies (Taiwan), embarass the West on the global stage, and break our national resolve. If Russia is victorious in Ukraine, I believe that we will have seeded our own demise. Given what I perceive to be the stakes of this conflict, I hope you can understand why this issue is so critical to how I plan to vote.

I am totally opposed to universal healthcare, which is why I hope for Republican control of Congress.

No offense was intended. a Person can obviously be incredibly competent regardless of advanced age. However, we also need to acknowledge that physical and mental decline are a natural part of aging, and the rate and degree of decline increases with age. I do not believe it to be unreasonable to want to avoid our President being incapacitated or worse.

I disagree with her on most things, but I do believe that she is fit to serve as President.

You come across as a nice enough guy who seems to be sincere... However, this statement above is absolutely baffling to me, and why it's very hard to take you or any supporter of Harris or the democrats seriously when you make these types of assertions...

Take Trump completely out of the equation and please tell me how in the hell she is competent to be a night shift manager at Burger King let alone the leader of the free world? For the sake of argument, let's forget that she was a DEI pick to be VP in the first place. Let's also forget that she has exactly ZERO accomplishments as VP for the reason stated in the previous sentence... Her true domestic & economic policies were laughable, and because of that, she is now mimicking Trump's policies... She has no foreign policy experience to speak of, nor does she possess the demeanor to be taken seriously by our enemies.... In fact, outside one of the "squad" members, I really can't think of a less qualified politician in our current government than her...

I hate to pull anyone away from the novelty that other people can reach different conclusions from a similar set of data, but this is another of these short videos that says so much about the Russian way of war and the grand deception Putin is thus far successfully engineering with respect to losses. This video was posted on Telegram by a Russian soldier. It shows he and his squad moving to reinforce a defensive position. They are moving through the bodies of other Russian troops in various stages of decomposition left to rot on the battlefield.

The Kremlin's strategy would seem fairly simple. A corpse that is never recovered never died. To a worried wife or family, from the MOD's perspective he simply has not contacted home in a while. Eventually, particularly as nature takes its course, he will be listed as MIA. The family never officially learns the truth, Putin's mafia like government doesn't have to pay a death benefit, and the general population, particularly that key one in heartland encompassing Moscow and St. Petersburg, continues to be largely blinded to human cost of this invasion - at least until they no longer are. I should note conservative non Ukrainian estimates believe Russia is currently suffering 1200 casualties a day.

Putin is engaged in an ever more dangerous balancing act. Casualties, his economy, export collapse, and faltering military morale (filmed suicides are increasing dramatically) and now an occupation force in Russian territory. At this point, I doubt this ends well for the little KGB thug regardless the conclusion of eventual negotiations.

You must have completely missed who and what I was referring to....I would sooner swallow the glass from a broken car window than vote for H/W or any other Dem I know of.

 

[deewayne2003]

And why exactly should age not be a concern?

Why hasn’t it been a concern other than the president?

Seriously - Nancy Pelosi looks like the crypt keeper, not to mention all the other members of the octogenarian mafia controlling our country.
