    Yes, have you?? I actually happen to live amongst them, which may sound exotic to some Lemmings.

    “I hate Trump, but Joe is a walking corpse” is not an uncommon sentiment.

      Are they aware that even an almost-corpse could follow their advisors and therefore end up having an effective presidency? As long as Biden doesn’t start doing random senile shit (and be realistic, he’s far from that)

        To a lot of these voters it’s not about having a logical cabinet nor even policy. It’s the individual as a character representing our nation, and to them Trump is better spoken than Biden even if what most of he says has little basis in reality.

        This is why Obama had such a good time with swing voters, it’s not really about the policies from what I see. I’m shocked no party since 2008 has tried running a younger candidate. I’d love to see someone younger debate Trump. Like Pete Buttigieg for example. Like ya he’s still a career politician, but I suspect he’d do much better at making the insane stuff Trump says sound insane.

        If they haven’t changed their minds yet, then they aren’t going to. It’s time to try someone different.

        Besides, you’re not even needing Republican votes. You just need undecided votes and to energize democratic voters who hate both candidates with age being a big factor.

      The presidency needs to be reframed. It’s not some position of ultimate power. Presidents have far less control than the general public thinks, or the media would have you believe.

      To get anything lasting done you need all three branches working together and with this court, and congress…

      I do too, which is why I know that you are wrong.
