    Is how’ It supposed to be - the closer to election we get, the louder the drums of Biden are beaten by the pollsters and MSM. Hillary by landslide, Hillary by 98%... remember?

    Were there any Trump-friendly polls in June 2016? I challenge you to find one.

    He never would. Romney said it best... half the country is on welfare; they're never going to vote Republican.

    You were likely on here talking about how mathematically impossible it was last time around...

    Which is why your opinion on this board is irrelevant.

    Gosh, density does seem to be a common thread in leftists these days. From living standards to thinking. This is what we've come to expect.

    LOL. Just for the record, here was our exchange.

    You: MSM is constantly painting Trump with a negative brush
    Me: That's because Trump is an unlikable *******.
    You: So what if he's unlikable?
    Me: You admit he's unlikable but complain about the MSM painting him in a negative light?
    You: You're dumb, lib.

    This is why nobody can take you seriously.

    Gosh, nice rewrite. The good news is that the originals are still there. Yes, the MSM paint the guy with a consistently negative brush. You made an assertion that then isn't true. (he's unlikable), I responded with folks adults don't chose politics on likability. You modified that to suggest that I suggested also that he was, which I did not. Then you create a conclusion that isn't based on the conversation which equates his unlikability with the press coverage (again, the coverage isn't because he's unlikeable, it's because the left are terrified that their carefully curated dependence and revenue stream based on it are in danger), and then you craft your last fib. So, neatly packaged, you couldn't overcome the reality of the observations, so you simply lied. That seems so entirely typical these days.

    Nothing wrong with that. We are all here for entertainment.

    Woah woah. I made the assertion that Trump is unlikable. I did not say it is not true that Trump is portrayed negatively by the media. I explained he is portrayed negatively because he is unlikable.
    If I follow you correctly, your point is that you were not conceding that Trump is unlikable when you asked "whoever asserted that [Trump would be likable if not for the 'liberal media']?" And then went on to say you don't need to like the guy.

    Is that right? Pretty sure nobody is going to buy that except your fellow kool-aid drinkers.
    Say what you want but you're basically backpedaling because I caught you in your own bullshit. You conceded that Trump is unlikable after complaining about the media portraying him negatively. This is why I get no satisfaction out of arguing with conservatives anymore. Even when you catch them in their stupidity, they backpedal and pretend it never happened.

    When your campaign holds rally’s that accuse them of being the enemy of the people, then you routinely insult them personally at every press conference, what would you expect?

    The economy is going to boom between now and November.

    The public sees: Republicans = jobs, and Democrats = mobs.

    I think Trump is in good shape.

    LOL... no backpedalling necessary. I said, and I continue to say that folks who vote don't, nay, shouldn't vote because they "like" someone. They should vote, and continue to do so because the person represents their values and ideals. That isn't the same as "liking". The BS cancel culture of your utopia might suggest that to you, but it isn't the case. The reach that you made from not having to like someone and turning that into "unlikable" is sophistry at its worst. You know this, and you're too wrapped in your now established narrative to now disavow it.

    I would expect the media to learn. Actually. I think it's instructive that so much resistance is now turning into a real constitutional crisis of the media's making. The idea that the media have so unilaterally determined who should lead our nation, to me, smacks of the worst kind of fascism. When the media use their protected platform in an abusive way, they are no longer serving the people. They are only attempting to serve themselves. That is horrific. The idea that folks on the left cheerlead for this demonstrates just how open to authoritarianism and fascism they really are.
