Blue Eyed Max. Still Trump's To Lose. What Position Would You Hire Biden For If You Owned A Business? Ordman Good News Israel.

Max and those blue eyes.

Like it or not, I still believe it is Trump's to lose. Why? For a variety of reasons as follows and in no particular order:

1)  The Democrat Party has walked off the mental map in terms of where most Americans tend to live.

2) They have a very weak nominee who,obviously, has some health issues and offers solutions that , if enacted, will destroy any prospect of an economic recovery.

3) Their Convention was less than uplifting. In fact it was depressing, dark and mean spirited.

4) Voters eventually will come to realize the portrayal of Biden as a nice person fighting evil  is not enough to get the ball over the goal line and belies the truth.

5) The polls, which I find not believable, have even begun to narrow and the debates have yet to begin.

6) Favoring open borders, excusing educational debt, de-funding police, ignoring rioting, wanting to end our energy dominance  for starters, are not embraced or found to be popular with or appealing to most voters.

7)  Trump lost some of his supporters because of his unorthodox and off handed ways but also gained a new group of supporters who  have been impressed with his accomplishments against all odds.

8) Most Americans are fair minded and resent the way this president has been portrayed by a very  biased mass media and the manner in which he has been consistently attacked by the opposition. Are they sophisticated enough to distinguish the lies from the truth?

An example is Biden blaming Trump for 170,000 Covid deaths and offering nothing beyond what Trump is doing as a solution.

For instance:

a) Trump allowed Mayors and Governors to respond to the pandemic and cannot be blamed for their decisions, ie. Cuomo's disastrous return of afflicted people to nursing homes.

b) Stopped Chinese travel to America once he was aware of the pandemic and it's source for which Biden and the mass media attacked him for being racist etc.

c) The government response has been amazing in terms of building necessary equipment and supplies and providing them to cities and states where needed.

d) Vaccine development has beaten any drug development timing ever.
.

9) Democrats oppose so many things that 'deplorables' embrace like gun possession, law and order, capitalism versus socialism etc.that they offer little that is attractive.

10) If one contrasts Trump's 3 plus years of accomplishments versus over 40 years of Biden's un-distinguished record and if one is objective, able to set aside emotion and negative feelings Trump wins hands down.

11) Continued rioting in Democrat run cities has not been a constructive development that bodes well for most voters.

12) The division within the Democrat Party is quite evident and breeds distrust among potential voters Democrats have answers most believe are desirable.

13) A bonus observation.  I seriously doubt all my liberal Trump Haters would hire Biden to do an important job in their business but want him to run our country.

Pithole CITY, Pennsylvania — “ Pap, I think you had better come see Pithole.”  By Salena Zito T.B. Whitacre penned those words to his grandfather on July 30, 1865. Just seven months earlier, an oil strike along Pithole Creek at Holmden Farm in January had drawn him and hundreds of people, mostly speculators, to the property where the oil was first discovered. By May, a town was laid out in the lush Venango County wilderness filled with hemlocks, pines, rattlesnakes, bear, deer, and porcupines. By July, it was rapidly becoming overgrown with people, derricks, and clogged with buildings. By Christmas 1865, nearly 20,000 people lived there, including Whitacre. Before all that, only two farms occupied this land, and its inhabitants could be counted on fingers.
