Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Posters, have you thought of what you are going to do if there is a clear Trump victory?

you are blending a lot of different ideas.

my main idea is that if an average american individual wants to live how people in the 70s and 80s lived, he can. He can own a cheap car, not have a $1000 phone, not pay $200/m for cable, not go on expensive vacations, have a smaller house, not eat out a lot. If he did that, he wouldn't be in debt all the time, would have savings, etc.

but sure, if ALL Americans stopped spending so much then the economy would suffer. But that's not my argument. I'm saying if some people want to make that choice, they can. this period of economic history is showing that. People are paying down debt and not going into debt....because they arent' spending at the old rates. That shows it's possible.

Released audio of Hunter Biden:

“I get calls from my father to tell me that The New York Times is calling but my old partner Eric, who literally has done me harm for I don’t know how long, is the one taking the calls because my father will not stop sending the calls to Eric. I have another New York Times reporter calling about my representation of Patrick Ho – the fing spy chief of China who started the company that my partner, who is worth $323 billion, founded and is now missing. The richest man in the world is missing who was my partner. He was missing since I last saw him in his $58 million apartment inside a $4 billion deal to build the fing largest fing LNG port in the world. And I am receiving calls from the Southern District of New York from the U.S. Attorney himself. My best friend in business Devon has named me as a witness without telling me in a criminal case and my father without telling me.“

Like I said before, Trump has FL on lock.

You're talking about personal finance.

I'm talking about macro economics.

A political conversation is about how to improve things systemically.

Work harder to eliminate minority rule of our supposed democracy.

Anyway, I'm getting news feeds from the Biden campaign saying they are behind in places like Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Kind of the opposite of the Rigged for Hillary approach.

They are asking for money and saying that as a motivator.

Point is, their foot is not off the gas.

They campaigning as if they are behind and need more turnout.

but...but...but...the macro economic system has provided ever rising wages and ever rising standards of living. The system is doing its job. Macro is not the problem.

The problem is that people don't know how to save and invest. And when they fall behind in their household finances...they blame the system. When they should blame their choices.

Maybe if we taught personal finance in HS we'd be a much more financially healthy nation.

(I'm not going to start the dueling links wars to prove points so if someone starts that, I won't follow)

You can look at your personal earnings and professional development the same way.

It's good to want more for your own personal accomplishment. The issue is that the system is set up against most people moving up and in favor of those that already have a lot. That can be fixed.

If you measure personal accomplishment by your earnings then you have a really screwed up value system.

If you measure personal accomplishment by what you've been able to buy then you are even more screwed up.

Earning lots of money and buying lots of stuff has become the new American dream. And that's a big part of our problem. It is the thing that gave us a president who worships his own wealth above all else. Too many people relate to him. It's why they love him so much.

Yes, Gold toilet seats for everyone !

Here's more, and maybe more reliable, information on the early voting in FL so far.

A higher percentage of early voters are young, and a smaller percentage are older voters. Slightly higher percentages of Hispanic and black voters.

42% of the early votes have been cast by Democratic voters; 36% have been caset by Republicans.

As someone else said, who knows what this all means. It would seem to favor Biden, but there are a lot of variables. What demographic is holding off until next Tuesday? What's the weather going to be like next Tuesday? Who are these early voters actually voting for? How many Dems are voting for Trump, and how many Reps are voting for Biden?

Young voters in Florida have almost doubled their share of the votes cast so far compared to this point in 2016. Voters 65 or older made up 50% of the early vote at this time four years ago, but only make up 41% now.

Florida's early voting electorate is slightly more diverse compared to this point in 2016. Both Hispanic voters and Black voters have increased their shares of ballots already cast, with Hispanic voters accounting for about 16% of the early vote (up from 14% in 2016) and Black voters at 13% (up from 12% in 2016).

Democrats are leading in the pre-election turnout with 42% of the ballots cast to the Republicans' 36%. A week before the 2016 election, they were tied at 41% each.

For every household saving money on concerts, restaurant dining, and vacations, there is another household with a furloughed or laid off restaurant worker, pilot, hotel staff, or event planner.

And there are about 30 million people in San Fran and NYC that are going to be evicted from their apartments when the eviction moratorium lifts. Commercial real estate is a looming disaster as well.

American homeowners who have not been laid off or reduced hours or taken pay cuts are in good shape. But that is not most Americans. And that is where the K shape of the recovery starts to look so crazy. There are people who didn’t take a vacation this year, have extra cash, and decide to spend $400 on animatronic Halloween decorations for their front yard. While others are lining up at the food bank and praying to make their mortgage or rent payment.

huh? the unemployment rate went from 4.5% to 7.9%. That's hardly most americans who are worse off. Only a small slice of Americans are worse off. The whole point of the article, which you clearly did not read, is that people of all economic classes are managing well enough. Even pawn shops are empty. Even payday loan operations are slow. People of all classes are saving and paying down debt, because they aren't spending.

You are reciting ideas and not responding to the text.

BLM is helping Trump in PA. I don't think it was a good idea to riot a week before the election if you're a Dementia Joe voter.

The idea that racial violence, rioting, looting has hurt Biden politically doesn't seem to be true.

On 8/22, Biden led Trump in the RCP average by 4.6 points. Jacob Blake was shot in Kenosha, WI on 8/23, and there was racial violence over the next 5 days or so. On 8/29, Biden led by 3.5 points. On 9/5, Biden led by 5/8.

This election is all about the orange guy, not much else matters.

The first of many lame CYA excuses from Nate Plastic.

But but but muh Bulgarian based website said.

Of course, only an idiot or a troll would claim MI is contested. Biden has been ahead in ALL polls by 10% or more for a very long time, and the margin continues to grow every day. Rigged's posts are all misinformation.

Trump is ahead in MI, per Trafalgar (who beats 538 on the accuracy scale).

Enjoy your loss.

Yep. Just crap. Biden will win MI easily.
