Agreed. Its fine to say politically for him. I think it works in terms of getting swing state voters and republicans that are disgusted by Trump to vote for him. It is partially the reason that the trump campaign throwing how radical lefty he is doesn't stick. But in practice and actual governance to believe it will actually work is silly. I feel the same about him thinking about GOP for potential cabinet seats as well. Fine to say but absolutely not imo, if there is a better qualified Democrat.
Eh. They'd have voted regardless. Let's not forget how riled up Trump tried to make everyone.
Anyway, as for the Undecided Voters, Trump's behaviour might have appeared some of them, but just as many likely do not care and are going for Biden. 2016 was as much an outlier as has been commented many times.
Yeah, that perplexes me. For eight years Biden watched Barack Obama extend a hand across the aisle to Republicans in good faith for the sake of bipartisan cooperation, only to have it bitten time after time after time by the rabid dogs in the GOP. If Trump goes down next month, that intransigence from Republicans will be even worse for no reason other than sheer spite because Trump lost. And here's an important reminder, it's not just about the presidency, the Senate is up for grabs, as I've said here numerous times, Biden winning the election would be almost meaningless if Democrats lose the Senate and Necrotic Mitch continues being that human roadblock where bills go to die.

I don't agree with the barbarism. I have personally suggested alternatives (more immigration judges to handle the caseload, a more efficient screening process for asylum hearings.)
But in order to say that the Republican plan is unacceptable, I need to know what the Democratic plan is, because they don't seem interested in fixing the problem.
By this logic, you're OK with rewarding people for endangering their children, and having that incentive going forward.
Taken to the logical extreme, anyone who supports pretty much any policy is OK with tremendous death and suffering (if the national speed limit was 20, we would certainly have less fatal accidents; it's probably not worth the tradeoff, but that's a discussion that can't be had if the need for a better policy alternative is dismissed.)
It really shouldn't be that hard to have a better policy here. So, what is being suggested?
Given that Biden was a member in the Obama administration, I'm guessing he saw missed opportunities and times President Obama, elected to the White House as one of the least experienced presidents ever, could have done better.

Also, Fox snap poll shows Trump won. Of course, it is an outlier and unlike regular polls I have no idea how snap polls are taken.

Perhaps the biggest blow to Trump's Hunter Biden debacle happened before and after the debate. As Politico explains Hunter Biden basically won the debate.
https://www.politico.com/amp/news/20...-debate-431558
Now here is THE BIG DEAL folks. After Trump paraded this guy in front of the media , when it came time after everything....it was a colossal fucking lie.
Now either he conned Trump into this or Trump basically knew this was bullshit. This casts doubt even more over the entire Hunter Biden deal if someone like this can appear , claim he has evidence and when looked at...has nothing.But so far the Bobulinski allegations seem like bubkes. At 10:47, minutes after the debate ended, the Wall Street Journal, part of the same media empire as Fox News and the Post, reported, “Text messages and emails related to the venture that were provided to the Journal by Mr. Bobulinski, mainly from the spring and summer of 2017, don’t show either Hunter Biden or James Biden” — the former vice president’s brother — “discussing a role for Joe Biden in the venture.”
Even if Bobulinski is telling the truth, that Joe Biden knew about the China enterprise, it’s not clear what the scandal is — he was a private citizen at the time and not yet running for president. Trump has elevated an unsubstantiated assertion that Biden had knowledge about his son’s legal and failed business venture to a “crime” for which he “should be in jail.” To put in context how absurd this allegation is, one of the first things George W. Bush did after he left the White House was deliver a paid speech in China. Somehow he remains at large.
