    We were told millions would die.

    Didn't turn out that way.

    Well, that's a good point. Now that the Convention is over, we need to see what the bounce is, but, I suspect Trump voters be chillin'.

    Just out of curiosity, does mentioning Trump's lies make Biden's lies magically disappear? if not why do this?

    Trump halted travel which Biden called him xenophobic for it.

    Blue states had far higher death tolls per capita.

    They also tended to be more strict in their shutdowns.

    I think voters will remember this in November.

    Omg he halted travel bull s he did he just likes to lie and say that this only minor thing saved billions of lives.
    Facts

    Americans could still fly from wuhan to the us. NO TESTING and no manditory Quarenteening. They were just allowed to infect others.

    Trump was completely incompetent and yes voters will remember his ineptness. .

    He instituted quarantines before he cut off all travel, while as late as april Biden was attacking Trump for this.

    Back to the thread topic-Bidens spin is not accurate.

    I notice you are still posting on this thread but you haven’t addressed the article which said Biden’s statements were factually correct.

    More importantly you didn’t have the courage to answer my question (this is the fifth time I’ve asked you): do you think Trump and Biden should be held to the same standard?

    Driveby Flamebait posts do not contain content that can withstand any degree of critical scrutiny which is why it is commonly used by trolls who have no actual interest in engaging in constructive debate.

    And it’s a horrible misleading thing to say to people. We’re the only country of our size that can accurately report numbers. And Democrats have gone crazy about having enough tests. So they criticize Trump for not testing enough then blast him for reporting the tests. That is scuzzy!

    Per capita is the ONLY way to honestly report deaths or cases when you’re trying to compare countries of vastly different sizes. It’s disgusting trying to fool people into thinking we have been effected worse than others. And of course Blue states have handled everything far worse than Red states. You can’t twist that. Most of the deaths have occurred where Democrats are in Control. Most of the biggest economic problems are ALL in areas of Democrat control as well. Those are the facts. But he obviously can’t mention that in this sort of speech.

    His whole speech avoids everything Democrats have done to exacerbate the issues. To mention Trumps handling of the economy without admitting it was pretty stellar before Covid hit is also a ****ing misleading lie.

    But he was certainly there during this speech. He must have been pumped up with so many drugs to keep awake, like Rogan has stated many times.

    You’re right. I know.
    Based on your posts I know that you don’t hold Biden and Trump to the same standards.

    In fact, you don’t hold trump to any standards at all.

    To add to that saying blue states handled it worse is misleading in itself without the FACTS.
    First blue states got hit first before we knew how to best deal with the virus little to no testing and shortages of ventilators and proper ppe.

    Some of the mistakes are on the govenors but most of them is on trump. Being able to test is one very important thing and trump and the CDC dropped the ball big time on this. I know here where I live in Ohio a major hospital system even asked the CDC if they could make tests based upon what was currently being used in the world. They got denied all they wanted to do was test who they needed to isolate even if the WHO tests weren't always reliable at the very least it's better than nothing.
    We cant forget the WHO offered us tests but that was rejected also.
    So the hospitals filled we had no kind of way to test and isolate so it only got worse especially when NYC started running out of ppe.
    Trump dragged his feet on that part also he should have used the defense act a month before he did. But they were only blue states huh.........
    Cant forget when trump used the act he put his crooked step son on the job who then stoled ppe from orders that were supposed to go to states, veterans, and to different cities all because they wanted to get credit maybe or act like they were doing something who knows.

    By the time the virus made a comeback a cpl months ago in primarily places who hastened to open back up we were better prepared. We had the ppe for the most part we had plenty of testing to isolate so not nearly as many died. Plus we probably better know how to deal with ppl with covid giving ppl a better chance to live

    Bottom line you harped on Biden for doing the exact same freaking thing you did here. You were misleading to the point of lying so you should be ashamed of yourself hypocritical one

    Considering for 4 days the DNC blamed Trump for all the deaths, I couldn’t give a **** what any Democrat or the complicit MSM thinks. For 4 yrs they have lied and misled regarding Russia, blatantly misquoted Trump at every opportunity, lied about who was responsible for the economy(until now) and basically promoted everything BAD that has gone on even when it was their direct actions, like all the rioting. To blame Trump for everything bad happening after February and try to claim responsibility for anything good happening prior is disgraceful.

    The MSM this entire time is claimed FL has done a worse job than NY and it’s not accurate in any way. They praise Cuomo for killing all those people and blame it on Trump when there wasn’t a damn thing Trump could have done to stop it. There wasn’t a damn thing any Dem could have done to stop it. But the way they talk claiming economic ruin when back in Feb we were doing as well as we ever have, is a ****ing joke. Maybe if they spent more time helping in February instead of calling Trump racist, things might have gone differently. But Dems wanted the destruction. Their action and words all prove it. They want Trump out and they know the MSM will not blame them for anything. So causing the destruction themselves leaves them free from scrutiny when only Fox and some guys with Podcasts will actually tell the truth. The MSM sits back and lies 24/7, working as a DNC mouthpiece.

    **** them.

    Trump is certainly no angel and doesn’t shut up. But he’s one guy. No single person is solely responsible for any of this. The Fed govt is NOT responsible for the direct actions of local leaders allowing destruction to occur. Keeping economies shut down Past their time. Allowing mass rioting and blaming cops and Republicans for it. It’s a joke!
