Biden Wins!

“Early indications suggest that Biden won a full 10 percent of Arizona Republicans.”

DT lost Arizona all on his own, through his own behavior.
Cindy never forgot what he said about John.
Arizona Republicans never forgot what he said about John.
I never forgot what he said about John.

Don’t mess with Cindy.

Look at her eyes in that first photo. She was out for blood and I don’t blame her one bit.

yeah, when Dump went after McCain and Romney, that was over the top.

Romney is actually a pretty decent guy. a few of us rudely interrupted his dinner one time in LJ because a colleague of mine who was a huge fan (democrat moderate friend) spotted him. He asked him if he was planning on running in 2020.. Romney laughed…

Mebane, the Michigan prof, chimed in.
Haven’t read this yet but thought those interested would like to see it.

[quote=utcsox][quote=flyer]I agree with all of the positive elements mentioned wrt the president elect, that’s why, as an independent, I voted for him this time.

Of course, money isn’t the most important thing. Never has been to me, and never had to worry about it, just glad we can help family and friends live better lives, but with the constant whining we hear about wealth inequality, it must be important to many voters (Gallup Polls reported 80% of voters are concerned about their finances) so it will be interesting to see if this mega issue can also be solved by the new administration in any measurable way.[/quote]

Except, Gallup Polls reported no such things.

“The 55% who say they are better off today is also similar to the 53% who rate their personal financial situation as either excellent or good, down only slightly from before the pandemic. ”

Edit
You are absolutely correct. I was looking at a Gallup Poll from 2018.

While checking on that, I found some other fun facts published in 2020 concerning finances in America.

Now, of course, money is not the source of our happiness–we all know that. It is simply a means to an end–a bridge to our dreams–a fortress that gives us a sense of security–or whatever else we may want to call it, but out of 122-128 million households (via various reports) in the US, there are only about 11.8 million millionaire households. (Per NY Post–excluding primary residence.)

Shockingly low stat, considering the number of households in the country. On that basis, it would be interesting to know, per your example above, what the criteria was for who those who claim their personal financial situation is either excellent or good. Without having that criteria and the actual numbers they are referring to, it would be hard to judge how relevant and valid the poll really is.

An extreme example would be someone polled might believe that having a $100K net worth would be enough to fund a 30-year retirement, so they responded to the poll saying that their financial situation is either excellent or good. My point is, without knowing the criteria, polls, including the one I referenced, are meaningless. That said, the millionaire headcount would seem to be far more accurate, and very revealing wrt the actual financial status of Americans.

I have always liked Romney. Always liked McCain too.

They do their own thinking and don’t take a position just because it is in their party platform. They chart their own course which I admire greatly.

Mostly agree. Especially with McCain. I do have some reservation with Romney on how he made money with Bain Capital by buying distressed companies, laid people off and sell the parts for profits. He ran for president on “bring overseas jobs back” platform. I think he would have made a better president than what we have the last 4 years.

As for McCain, every true American, regardless of their political views, should have been disgusted the way he was mocked by the prez as a POW.

Rut-roh.

Trump’s temper tantrum has started.

I hope that his firing of Esper doesn’t mean that he’s firing everyone who doesn’t support using martial law to enforce his (Trump’s) attempts to steal the election. The last thing we need is Federal “baby-killers” being sent to states who refuse to rig their elections to fit Trump’s narrative…

Esper had been on shaky ground with the White House for months, a rift that deepened after he said in June that he did not support using active-duty troops to quell the large-scale protests across the United States triggered by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police. Esper also said military forces should be used in a law enforcement role only as a last resort.

Ah… Ben Carlson and David Bossie tested positive for covid…. I never would have thought…..

Looks like Georgia’s Republican senators want the Georgia Secretary of State to resign simply because the election did not go their way.

The McCain’s were friends of my parents. Great people. The Romney family is, overall great, too. My kids, although they are quite a bit younger, are friends with a couple of his kids and their families.

Sadly, being rude is in vogue (obvious signs of a weak, insecure person) that’s why I can’t stand most politicians or most of the media, but, regardless of how much I can’t stand people, I refrain from making rude comments, especially publicly, so I could’t believe what was said about McCain. That, the handling of the virus and a few other issues are what pushed me to vote as I did. At this point in time, really had no other choice.

[sdrealtor]

Of course they were. All of them

[svelte]

OK. This is just too bizarre not to mention.

Trump’s top lawyer, head of his legal team, on TV sweating profusely, eyes bulging, hair dye running down his face.

This is what has become of the Trump Fiasco.

Truly amazing stuff.

A fitting end to the bastard who almost ruined nyc in the 90s. Go back to your insane asylum, Rudy, old man.

[Coronita]

You know, this Trump thing isnt going away after Biden assumes the presidency. Trump isn’t really a Republican, but he’s managed to pull off “cult status”.

There’s got to be ways to exploit his cult status and make money off of these idiotic people ….
