No. I say that title goes to Jimmy Carter, but if Biden gets elected, it'll be up for grabs!

When did Jimmy Carter . . .

seek a political enemy's help to win an election and lie about it?
bribe a foreign leader for personal political gain and lie about it?
promise to release his tax returns, then sue to avoid doing that?
call white supremacists "very fine people" and offend minorities?
rape a woman, pay her to keep it secret, and brag he can do it?
try to prevent citizens from voting by defunding all post offices?
tell everyone medically proven methods of saving lives are bad?
base a travel ban on religious bigotry instead of actual danger?
spend thousands of tax dollars on playing golf at fancy resorts?
give up on health care after the legislature rejected some bills?
insult troops who were either killed in wars or prisoners of war?

If you can't answer ALL of these questions, you have NO reason to call Jimmy Carter the worst President.

Wasting your time is saying you like Donald Trump without giving smart voters any reasons to support him. If you did not already know why people hate the man, that is your problem, not theirs.

Where did I say I like Trump? I don’t like to assume the reason why people hate Trump. That would be foolish of me. But voting against a man only because you hate him doesn’t require a whole lot of effort to educate yourself on what positions the man is actually running on. You might be shooting yourself in the foot because you’re blinded by your hate.

I see you have the Democratic talking points committed to memory. Good for you.

one would think a president being responsible for 10s or thousands of extra American deaths would move the needle for Republican voters. it appears it won't.

Lift up the stylus. It’s stuck.

There is no such thing as a single-issue voter. Every political issue affects at least one other issue. In this case, COVID-19 is to blame for millions of people losing or quitting their jobs, and many people who get sick do not have health insurance. Students need to get their education in classrooms, but are stuck learning from home instead. Because health care, education, jobs, and travel are all affected by COVID-19, everyone who says "coronavirus" is the #1 issue in America is really talking about a wide range of issues.

The number one issue according to this:
Important issues in the 2020 election | Pew Research Center
the economy is number one . Covid is fourth. Do you have a poll showing how many voters blame Trump for Covid?

tell that to the guy who caused 10s of thousands of extra (needless) deaths of REPUBLICANS and Democrats.

and others.

Actually you might want to consider replacing the stylus. Simply lifting it up didn’t work.

yeah, that will help as the virus continues to spread and continues to causes needless deaths.

i just wish those families (many Republican) could sue for wrongful death (as they can if a CEO did the same thing).

It's always the same with you people. You think you we can't see right through you when you're a clear as fresh air only less substantial.

Ok, now that we’ve got that settled. What else is on your mind?

The “Never Trump” vote intrigues me. I’ve asked those who say this to be a bit more specific as to why and many times I get the answer “Because I don’t like him.” With that response I know I’m wasting my time.

Because he is the greatest threat to America in the short term.

I believe nearly every voter will each base their decision primarily on one of the following factors.

(1) Strictly Ideological ~ The GOP is committed to Capitalism / The Democrat Party has converted to Socialism.

(2) Candidate's platform ~ Candidates share the specific platforms they believe will benefit the nation.(hopefully)

(3) MSM reports/opinions ~ Undeniably; MSM is extremely ideological with access to every mind.

(4) Never Trump ~ And this factor will include both Dems and Pubs.

(5) Party loyalty ~ This factor in some cases can be a family tradition.

#1 is a false description, can you point out where you find the D's being committed to Socialism?

Wow; I'm impressed Digs...you must be some kind of genius or something... :blink:



Wait a minute...........why would an amazing genius like Digs have to ask, "what"?!

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure it out...his answer is right above him in the post 8 quote?

I'll review the comment history that led to my question since you apparently can't recall it:

Moderate Republican:
It was a tough choice between 1 and 2.

You:
Oh; by the way...so did I...
Click to expand...

First off, your response doesn't make much sense. It could mean something "same here" but then you indicate you made a choice (in your own poll which suggests you didn't know what your choice would be when you made up your BS list which is just weird but that's never surprising when dealing with Donnie Dirtbag's cult). So I decided you meant the only thing that made any sense out of the scramble of words between you and MR and that was you had made a selection and I wanted to know what it was. (Gawd, I feel like I'm trying to explain calculus to a sheep).

So you hate him because of that? Did you equally hate all those Presidents that sent our young men and women to die in a war over resources? Just curious as to whether your hatred is only selective based on political affiliation.

Oh, I take the threat of the replacement of our republic with a fascist dictatorship by your PoS very seriously. And so do the clear majority of real Americans.

Oh, drop that "peacenik" crap. Of all the bull**** you people shovel that's the most blatantly absurd.

She did say it didn’t take rocket science to figure out what she meant. I understood what she meant so perhaps she’ll take the time to explain rocket science to you. But something tells me you still won’t get it.

I hate him because he is a despicable human. He is a liar, a cheater, and a sexual predator (not my words, all of those are documented coming from his mouth or in court documents). He is not the greatest threat to America's short-term future because of his military actions, he is attempting to destroy America from within. Insurrection act threats, trying to charge protestors with sedition, attacking the free press, actively calling an election that hasn't happened corrupt (after finding no evidence of his last corrupt election charges), bringing foreign influence into our elections, using his government position to benefit himself financially etc.
