    Well right there they forfeited all credibility. Because the Green New Deal is not a plan. It's roadmap. The plan the Green New Deal calls for will not cost us a penny. In fact, we will profit from it. In terms of green technology.

    Compare that to $35 billion a year that the GAO estimates climate change will be costing us.
    https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-17-720

    And the $350 billion that it has cost taxpayers in the last decade alone
    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/6-ways-to-prepare-your-finances-for-climate-change-2016-12-20

    Not to mention the huge number of lives lost. But that part wouldn't concern a Trump loyalist.

    Anyway... this is about 2016 vs 2020 elections. So that's that...

    We will never eliminate the use of fossil fuels (what a stupid name for energy).

    Voters in small states have more of a say as to who our next President will be as compared to voters in large states. I will prove that statement.

    Obviously, the less voters an elector represents the more impact voters have in the selection of our President. One on one would be the ideal, but that would defeat the purpose of the Electoral College.

    California has a population of 39.5 million people and has 55 electors to the Electoral College.

    Montana has a population of 906,500 people and has three electors to the Electoral College. It is one of seven rural states that have three electors.

    When one does the math, in California one elector represents 718 voters. In Montana one elector represents 302 voters.

    The conclusion based entirely on math, the non-college educated farmer in Montana has 2.38 times the impact of a college educated teacher in California.

    And we know that -- to our everlasting regret -- the farmer and many like him in the rural counties of America chose Trump.

    How so? My analysis simply described what happened in 2016. Even if Trump wins, the analysis will still be valid because it is part of the record.

    I'm betting you are a Trump fan. You sound like one.

    I wonder if Trump wins if our house ultra liberal posters will disappear for a couple months like they did in 2016?

    Liar it was reported in the papers that Trump was under FBI investigation in October before the election.

    I don't like either of them. Just because someone is critical of one does not make them a superfan of the other. If you are not with us, you are against us thinking is sooooo 2001.

    Either we eliminate fossil fuels, or fossil fuels eliminate us.

    Hey! That's a great bumper sticker. I should patent it!

    The statement should read "When one does the math, in California one elector represents 718,000 voters. In Montana one elector represents 302,000 voters."

    Why do you want to deny the people of earth the gifts from God?

    Rudy was deeply involved in the Weiner laptop thing and in pressuring Comey

    And here he is in the middle of this nonsense.

    And as a reminder...the 2016 thing was a nothingburger that Rudy cooked up just days before the 2016 election.

    Sound familiar?

    See, I think the peculiar circumstances are exactly the same:

    Once again, the DNC has picked a tarnished candidate. Joe Biden is under suspicion of fraud, not to mention his obvious mental state.

    Extreme views. Rather than to tailor these, the Dems have doubled down on the extremism. The average American voter cannot abide by the Green New Deal.

    Bullying voters. This has gravitated from screaming in people's faces to rioting. Again, this may shut down civil conversation, but people vote their own conscience when they are in the privacy of the ballot box.

    And once again, the media is all out for the Dem, telling us the polls say Biden will win.

    Sound like deja vue?

    We'll be fine either way. We survived a lot of bad presidents, including the last four years.

    No single person can destroy our country. It's the 3rd graders in Congress that will do the job. But, keep re-electing them at a 90%+ rate. I'm sure doing the same thing over and over will net different results at some point.

    So I take it you live off-grid? Use horse and buggy? Large windmills and solar panels in the yard? Grow your own food?

    As usual...none of that mess makes sense

    Start with the fact that there's nothing extreme about Biden.
