Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 10-13-2020
True Baggers. Hillary was probably to the right of Turnbull and Fraser.
It’s an institutional thing. The Constitution gives low-population states like Montana the same number of Senators as populous states such as New York and California. The Senate has also adopted practices which put the brakes on change. Most legislation requires 60 out of the 100 Senators to vote for it (but 50 + the VP is enough for Supreme Court confirmations and “reconciliations”). The filibuster provides an additional brake, such as when Ted Cruz read Dr Seuss books to block immigration reform. Then you have the Supreme Court which has been very conservative over the years.
That’s why the Republicans were so annoyed with Obama pushing the Affordable Care Act through despite total opposition from the GOP. They think he should only have proceeded with bipartisan support (which we now know McConnell would never have permitted). If Obama hadn’t pushed on, that legislation would have continued to be seen as socialism which the public would never accept. But once the public saw it in action, they no longer regarded it as radical. The Republicans know many of the progressive proposals won’t be unpopular once the public sees them in action. They know they have to block them so they still have the aura of radicalism.
When Biden gets in, I hope he doesn’t get sucked into allowing the Republicans to veto change in the hope he can make good on a commitment to bipartisanship. The Democrats need to reform Senate rules and pack the Supreme Court.

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 10-13-2020
Didn’t you love it when Trump talked about Thigh-land instead of Thailand! I’m tipping a Freudian slip there.
But what on earth was he thinking about when he talked about Yo! Semite Park? Was he thinking about “globalists” seizing control of one of Americans’ favourite national parks?
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - PaulP - 10-13-2020
Comparing the personality / physical defects of those two would require a site all by itself. The Yanks should pull one out of "left" field and vote for Howie Hawkins.
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 10-13-2020
You’d think if Trump believed Biden wasn’t up to it, he wouldn’t have refused to debate him. The 1st debate put paid to that.

I would not. He doesn't know what day it is. Should have had a mental acuity test.
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 10-13-2020
If only Trump had debated him, he could have proved that case. So why didn’t he?
After all, debating the smartest man on Earth would be a mental acuity test, wouldn’t it?

If you're not already driven to despair by the, ahem.......... leader and potential leader of the free world.
