The Lewinsky scandal did not become public until after the election. The Lewinsky Scandal was a happy accident. The Republicans had been investigating Clinton since his first term and struck gold with Linda Tripp. Have you watched Clinton's deposition tape? Lewinsky was soooooooooo out-of-left-field that Clinton was completely caught off-guard. You literally see him make a what-the-fuck face on the tape. Lewinsky was some random intern who sucked his dick that one time and the Republicans blew it into a national scandal. That's how much they hated Clinton. You're gonna tell me Clinton is the first dude to get caught getting his dick sucked in the White House? They made an example out of him.

What about the Joe Biden 2020 candidacy makes you think he yearns for the approval of the "hard left?" It doesn't matter what he years for, he's going to do what he's told and right now defunding the police is a huge talking point. Two years ago I would have thought he was the guy to beat Trump. Today, well like Neverending said he had better get himself a badass running mate because if he think he's going to get elected on hatred of Trump and some 'malarkey' zingers while trying not to stumble over himself it's gonna be a rough 4 months for him.

I'd like to see his voting record.
Lotta spineless folks come out and say they hate him now and couldn't have possibly seen this coming, but when it was 1v1 I'm sure they committed to Donny back in '16.
Anyone shocked by his tenure was simply willfully ignorant. I'd still tar and feather these ****s who voted for him (and the Bernie bros who wrote him in - I'll never forget you dumb fucks either), and most certainly save the worst for the party leadership who allowed the takeover of this cult of personality from their garbage party in the first place.

They still have Tower of Terror in Hollywood Park at DisneyWorld. The California Adventure Tower of Terror in CA was the one that was changed to Guardians of the Galaxy.

Trump supporters, from the hardcore to the moderate ones, are quickly realizing that Trump may not want to be reelected. There have been people to defend him at every turn no matter what but the past couple weeks they've been thrown the curviest curve ball yet; what do you do when your guy just doesn't seem to give a shit? When he acts crazy his supporters will go with the crazy, when he unloads on someone they'll say that person deserves it, but he just doesn't seem interested at all. It's even worse when we have crises at every turn and he's nowhere to be found except on Twitter ranting insanity about Joe Scarborough.

I always said Trump lacks any sense of foresight or vision.
I didn't realize he actually doesn't even have one for re-election. But then again, it makes sense that he doesn't. Look what he's doing on the campaign trail. He's just playing the greatest hits over and over just this time inserting "Sleepy Joe" for "Crooked Hilary". He's bringing nothing to the table whatsoever, but rather is just hoping his die-hards will be enough to re-elect him. Or does he actually care? I'm sure his ego wants to win, but we know Trump doesn't like to actually do any work and will just blame mail voter fraud or some other bullshit for his loss and then get to go back to golfing every day and living in Manhattan again.
The poll numbers for him are horrendous right now, which is amazing. Biden has to just not fuck up royally and I really do think he's got this in the bag. Even anti-Trump holdouts are watching his disastrous responses to both the virus and the protests and have finally realized the guy is a piece of shit without a clue of how to lead the country.

And all Trump had to do is respond, just do something. 'Hey stop rioting' or 'Don't touch those statues.' Something, anything. And right now amidst race riots, a pandemic, a crashed economy, people are desperate to see a leader take a stand somewhere. They've got nothing, absolutely nothing.
That says nothing for Biden either, they're keeping him under lock and key until election day.

It's starting to look more and more as though Trump really doesn't want to win re-election. At the town hall he did a couple days ago he admitted, "he's going to be your president 'cause some people don't love me, maybe," and now he's retweeting people shouting "white power!" Maybe he's planning to see just how far he can push how obvious his level of sexism and bigotry while still forcing the GOP to kiss his ass. Maybe Trump figures that if he's going down, he's taking the Republicans with him.

Twitter is just a direct link into his stupidity. I mean what kind of person retweets a video of people chanting 'white power?' A bonafide racist doesn't do that. A Russian plant doesn't do that. An idiot, an incompetent moron does that. Someone who doesn't read, doesn't vet, and doesn't think about consequences. He really has stopped caring.

Or someone who knows who his audience is and is through with euphemisms. This is the guy who started his campaign by blowing past "border security" right to "Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers". But, yeah, he's also dumb as fuck.

He already has that audience so he would only be dogwhistling to them for no real reason while turning everyone else off completely. Or maybe that's exactly what he's wanting to do, who the fuck knows at this point?

Or maybe that's exactly what he's wanting to do, who the fuck knows at this point? The theory is dog-whistles go away when they aren't needed anymore. Moderate republicans may not like it, but what choice do they have? Doesn't seem an especially good strategy to me given Trump's running against the most moderate of democrats who most republicans should have minimal issue swallowing their pride and voting for, but I don't know. There's a lot of thinking that Trump is much more deliberate then he seems and knows exactly what he's doing. I'm not sure if I give him that much credit. You're right, who the fuck knows. We're gonna be dissecting this presidency for decades. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the Nixon treatment on film where so many filmmakers try to probe his bizarre psychology.

Racists always vote Republican, and everybody knows it. There's no reason for Trump to court their vote by pulling stunts like this. All it does is alienate him from people who only voted for him because they felt Hilary was an even worse alternative. There is zero upside for this sort of behavior if Trump genuinely wants to win re-election. There's plenty of upside if he doesn't want to deal with the huge hassle of a second term, and would like to stick it to all the Never Trumpers who never accepted him, and the hypocrite Republicans who bashed him when he was running, then kissed his ass just to get what they want.
