You have given nothing that urban areas provide that isnt already in rural America. Except sewers. What suburb do you live in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The primary drove up turnout for Democrats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "approve vs disapprove" polls don't capture the level of disgust most people feel towards Trump. Trump supporters may beat on their chests anonymously via the internet but they aren't giving up vacation days to help get people to the polls.

No. Be careful not to interpret events in the way that feels the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 @Titans279 even before the pandemic my wife and I had already decided to cancel all 2020 family vacations and use 100% of our time off knocking doors to bring out the 2020 vote. This is beyond "disapprove", but yes data is more trustworthy than anecdotes. How might one measure "I hope Trump goes to prison and catches 'rona from Joe Exotic" in a scientific manner?

The fact that you have to go door to door to drum up enthusiasm is quite telling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rns90 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Trump is polling badly amongst independents as well. He's basically only got the Republican base at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeFan Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 1 hour ago, patsplat said: Please do tell us about these fantastic businesses I've mentioned them before. I, along with 2 others, sold a software company about 15 years ago. My stake was 8 figures. With that money... Made about 10 long term investments (5+ yrs) over the last 15 yrs. 1 loser, 3 break evens, 3 probably 50% return, 1 turned $300,000 into $3.6 million but had to split in divorce, 1 I had to just put in my time and past knowledge and I should be getting $500,000 from very soon as they are in the process of selling the company, and 1 that should pay off in about 3 yrs and that should double my current net worth. And my monthly income comes from loaning money to 3 local custom home builders. Interest on the loans return between $25,000 and $35,000 monthly. But you go door knocking. I am sure you will be loved by all and welcomed unconditionally, especially after this virus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
