The best way to defeat Trump in this election: China cancels all trade war tariffs on American exports

[epchkm + 6]

Trump inherited a good economy from Obama, after Obama had a good 8 continuous years of steady growth.   A guy who declared bankruptcy many times and stiffed his vendors, can succeed sometimes with the economy by cutting taxes for the super rich and raising the deficit sky high, why not Biden who will be much more steady than the buffoon we have in Trump.   For Republicans, deficits matter only when Democrat is the President.  

Come Nov, the voters in MI, PA, WI, FL and AZ have had enough of this president and will vote for the Democrat, even though Biden does not excite anyone either.  The vote will be anti-Trump more than pro-Biden.   If the african american voters had not stayed home in MI, PA and WI, Hillary would have won.

The Chinese communist party does not care what the world wants them to do.
They don't care if all their foreign customers die from covid.  Maybe they would welcome
that because then China would control all of earth.
There is no "solution" that involves China doing something because the Chinese
Communist party only does what it wants to do, not what you think it should do.
Totalitarian governments only respect force, not reason.
The best way to defeat China is with a nuke.
Nothing less than mass destruction will persuade the Chinese Communist party.
Totalitarian countries are masters of propaganda.
They will say anything to placate you, and then do whatever they want.

Hillary was behind Trump almost the whole time.
Most polls were biased in favor of Hillary.
The big mistake the left makes is to believe their own propaganda.  Something you lefties never learn.
Even if you can fool or indoctrinate everyone to believe false information, that still does not change reality.
Hillary had no idea that she would lose.
Hillary did not appear on election night because her loss was a devastating shock to her.
It was too much for her to handle.

@Sebastian WhiteYou do realize that a left wing rant does not make Trump any less attractive to his voters?

You raise all the issues that are NOT important to his voters. Do you think there is anyone who cares that he is an A hole and womanizer and intellectually lazy? If his evangelical voters can forgive him for his soft porn video, then they generally have it for the guy as their leader, good or bad. 

He stands against "the swamp" and practically all your bullets are about swamp policy.

The American people have seen how populist governments end in dictatorships.

What a difference there is between the Chinese Communist Party that forces the Chinese people to consume what China produces and its "Made in USA" proposal.

The world says the United States is a democracy and it has credibility, and it uses the dollar not the yuan.

You want the American people to be polarized, God bless you and all of us who have seen you as an example to follow.

Yes, you are right that Trump is one of the elitist swamp. He grew in that. He was obviously the blusterous self aggrandizing bully that was always laughed off by the elite for his cheap glitz. That makes him precisely the political persona his people had been looking for, a supposedly "turned" insider working against "his upbringing". 

The excessive self promotion and glitz, flaunting it in the face of media, his looseness with facts, this is all a positive for his voters. He does not virtue signal to the elite. He presses their buttons and calls their bluff of "expertise" and "policy wonk", expressing his disdain for the pretentious power hungry socialist failures that they had always been. 

Nobody looks at the public statements any more than they do a used car salesman's pitch. You look at actual policy and statements about it, who his advisers are. 

Your view is deranged, as you take a reality show act like a WWE star presentation as if it is an actual person. 

There is Trump the show, and there is Trump the politician and president with his constant cloud of advisers. If you keep focusing on the show, you will never understand any of it.

Think of it as Liberace  as president, maybe that will help.

 

As to Mr. Hillary Rodham. he came from her old money, her old money contacts, and lived his adult life charming her political and crony capitalist old money friends into feeding their ambition and avarice.

Sounds great! Doesn't that mean all of the revolutions and independent wars, civil wars, for better or worse, came from populism? Populism on a democracy political system seems much better than wars. We cannot assume politicians will never be corrupted or there will never be any established elite groups, no matter how many parties a political system has. US did have a Electoral College system with is a some fuse mechanism for extreme populism mob rule (it only wasn't tested yet).

I do not think that you understand the Electoral College system and why it is utilized. A similar system needs to be implemented in state elections where counties would have electoral votes.

This mitigates the high density population states/counties forcing their will on less populated states/counties.

For example, all the rurall counties in Colorado are at the mercy of the counties along the Front Range. How is that fair or equitable?

The Electoral College is the playing field.  It is the playing field for all candidates.  The playing field has been in place since the early days of our founding.  By design, one candidate cannot claim the playing field is skewed for the other player.  The Electoral College is typically a close reflection of the voters of each given state in that the Electoral College voting members are usually appointed by elected officials, usually the Governor but in some states it varies.  You will find that in most elections the popular vote and the Electoral vote come to about the same result.

To @Douglas Buckland's point, a state like Wyoming with a population of @ 600,000 would be completely overlooked during elections while states like California with a population of some 39,000,000 would get all the attention.  There are some good resources online, but here is just one for a quick understanding:

Presidential Election Process

Electoral College

In other U.S. elections, candidates are elected directly by popular vote. But the president and vice president are not elected directly by citizens. Instead, they’re chosen by “electors” through a process called the Electoral College.

The process of using electors comes from the Constitution. It was a compromise between a popular vote by citizens and a vote in Congress.

• How Does the Electoral College Process Work?

  After you cast your ballot for president, your vote goes to a statewide tally. In 48 states and Washington, D.C., the winner gets all the electoral votes for that state. Maine and Nebraska assign their electors using a proportional system.

  A candidate needs the vote of at least 270 electors—more than half of all electors—to win the presidential election.

  In most cases, a projected winner is announced on election night in November after you vote. But the actual Electoral College vote takes place in mid-December when the electors meet in their states.

  The Constitution doesn’t require electors to follow their state's popular vote, but it’s rare for one not to.

I understand that. I mean there is a hidden mechanism that allow the electors to be the faithless electors. In a scenario that one president candidate of a party promised socialism equality (for example: take all of the land/money from land owners/money and redistribute them among citizens, land or assets reform) and the most of the voters of each state naively vote for that candidate, out of "super stupid populism", then theoretically the electors can be faithless electors and cast to different candidates and turn the tide. It has never successfully happened in the past but the mechanism is still there until now. I do realize there will be a decision from supreme court to keep that mechanism or not this summer. I am curious if there is another reason for its existence? The only next reason I can think off if the president candidate dies and the vice is horrible but I don't think it is a good reason to have this as the electors have to cast one vote for president and another vote for vice president in the twelve amendment.  I am new to US politics for sure.

Prior to the 12th Amendment, the candidate with the most votes won the Presidency, while the candidate with the second-most votes won the Vice-Presidency.

IN 1800, there was a tie between two candidates, Jefferson and Burr, demonstrating to Congress that an Amendment needed to be made.  The 12th Amendment requires that Electoral votes for President and Vice-President be separate, thereby eliminating the possibility of such a tie.  In order to avoid a situation where a President leaves office for whatever reason and then being replaced by a Vice-President not in alignment with the voter's choice when electing the President, the parties have since put the President and Vice-President on the same "ticket"; meaning they are elected as a package.

Here is an article, written in American Heritage back in the year 2001, that provides an interesting read and a fair, I think, history of the entire Electoral Process:

https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/history

The general rules for electing the president have been established for centuries: The candidate who receives the most votes in each state wins that state’s electoral votes, and the candidate who wins the most electoral votes becomes president.

But these rules could go out the window when the Supreme Court issues a decision, anticipated by June of this year, on lawsuits out of Colorado and Washington. These cases challenge the constitutionality of legal requirements that presidential electors—the people who physically cast their state’s electoral votes—must vote for the candidate who won the popular vote in their state. The electors bringing these lawsuits argue that the Constitution gives them the right to vote for anyone for president, regardless of the will of the voters in the state they represent.

I know that and I'd doubt anyone doesn't. The point I was trying to make is without the mechanism allowing the electors to have the right to cast ballot to different candidates as a last resort, faithless, there is no mechanism to stop the "populism" in each individual state. In  single state level, it is still "mob rule" and which is prone to "populism" and make a disaster choice. In individual state, we still have not a better chance to be at the mercy of the heavily populated cities so I like that mechanism.
