    "So Trump had the paintings of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton removed from the grand foyer of the White House and replaced them with William McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt...two Presidents that were shot by attempted assassins; one died and one survived but they were both shot, one in office and one running for office. Why would Trump do this? Is he obsessed with death? It does make one think."

    I'd settle for him being half the president that Bush or even Clinton was.

    Believe me, irl, nobody has opportunity to get near my friends and insult them. They have to go through me first.
    but alas, on message boards, words are not my forte.

    Hell hath no fury like a Sandernista when another candidate or their supporters momentarily dare to show a human side.

    I'm waiting for one of our angrier leftists to insist this is just more proof that Biden is an evil racist rapist. I mean...

    Why are you posting a video without any description or comment about the video? I thought you didn’t look like it when people do that?

    I also don’t go around giving people shit for not watching a video I post. It’s a Lincoln Project video, I’m reasonably certain everyone here has an idea of what it’s going to be about.

    The videos I post have descriptive titles, I’m reasonably certain everyone has an idea what they’re about as well, yet you still complain about me posting them without describing what they’re about.

    Biden wears
    The video's less than a minute long. Probably a third of the time it's taken you to whine about it... so far.

    Good luck figuring that out. I gave up trying to reason with her years ago. I honestly think she's just a lonely, sad woman who takes her frustrations out on everyone.

    Melania's decidedly lonely and sad. It would not surprise me if she left Donnie-boy if he loses the election. The only thing holding her back might be concern about their son. However, IIRC, before she would move in to the WH, she met with lawyers to review her pre-nup.

    If you don't watch Lincoln Project videos, and you like Discovery and Picard, you're stupid, and have no taste!
    So there!
    I'm better than all of you!
    And I glow, and fly, and will never die!
    Be ashamed that you're not me.
    Be ashamed.
    BE.
    ASHAMED.

    Wow, character who totally isn't a parody of someone here, that's totally an excellent and adult way to debate!
    I respect you immediately!

    First of all, when someone asks me why I don't support Trump, I tell them in my own words as to why I don't. Not only does this show respect for the other person, since they're asking me for my reasons, and not what the Lincoln Project has to say about it. Also, it shows that I've actually put some thought into my position and am not simply regurgitating things. Additionally, I'm not sharing the Lincoln Project clips because I think that they'll change the mind of anyone here, I'm sharing them so we can all collectively go, "Oooooh!"

    Trump basically has turned solid red states into swing states for this election cycle...
    Why is the Gop still supporting him when Trump might cost them seats and the Presidency?

    He hasn't done anything beyond what would be expected, to turn on him now would be to admit a flaw in their own judgement.

    This is why you don't turn the dog whistle up to 11. Trump has outed a lot of cooters and karens.

    Smart Republicans who are not currently running for office are sounding the alarm:

    https://www.businessinsider.com/paul-ryan-trump-crushed-in-the-suburbs-midwest-2020-7?amp

    Anybody up for election can't risk alienating the MAGA fanatics. The rest are in deep denial, 2016 having made them think Trump is invincible.
