To be fair, for a person to lie, they have to believe that what they are saying is not truthful. I am not sure Sally believes that what he has said is untruthful. Delusion is strong with the Trumpers...and YES Sally, you are defending and supporting Trump, so you are a Trumper no matter how many times you try to deny it.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

I admonished him before for the same lie about a week ago. Then he repeated the lie again and I called him out for it again. Then he tried to post a quote and hope we wouldn't notice how it proved he was lying.

Sally knew it was a lie. No doubt about it.

Originally, I suspect Sally got her bad info from reading the headlines on conservative sites. Often on less reputable sites, the headline doesn't match what someone actually said. So the takeaway he got was the headline and not the quote.

But then Sally doubled down and hoped that we would fall for the same trick.

Biden is too old. He’s out of touch. Democrats have always won by motivating young and minority voters to get to the polls. Biden won’t do that.

Beto is kinda goofy but right now he’s the only candidate that is larger than the sum of his parts, hence the Obama comparisons. Obama was a Reagan-like orator.

I don’t think Beto losing is a big deal when he again set records in raising money and democratic vote total in TX. Again, he got more votes in TX than Clinton...in a mid-term.

I also think just about anyone will beat Trump simply because of voter motivation. I think Beto, more than anyone, can motivate people to like him in a national election. If he does like he did in TX where he’s live-streaming everything and taking advantage of his social media presence he will be able to connect personally with voters.

Grandpa Joe can do that too....if he can run with that “Grandpa Joe” vibe. If he just runs as Obama 2.0 he won’t win.

If any of the candidates run just on policy they won’t win the nomination. Clinton didn’t beat Sanders on Policy. Obama didn’t beat Clinton on Policy. It’s all about connecting hard with a segment of voters.

Harris is a California Democrat. That’s going to be Kryponite in a national election and many primary voters will realize that.

Sanders is old. He’s looks like a walking corpse and looks all wild and wonky.

We will see if he can raise a ton of money again. A LOT of people do not like Ted Cruz, both Republicans and Democrats alike, so I'm not sure all those donations were in support of Beto so much as they were a rebuke of Cruz. We will see. Lots to happen yet.

Can Trump win again if he is eligible to run in 2020? Party favored mentioned in bold below:

Let's look at the keys! Needs 7 to win. Currently Democrats are leading 5 to 4 with the other 4 "unclear". To stave off foolish challenges to me on this, Allan Lichtman DID predict Trump would win, but his keys (if you read his book) actually are a predictor of who wins the popular vote, so he was wrong there. He DID verbally predict Trump would win though, so he personally gets credit for that even though his keys were wrong in what they are supposed to predict.

Party Mandate: After the midterm elections, the incumbent party holds more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives than after the previous midterm elections. - Democrats

Contest: There is no serious contest for the incumbent party nomination. - Democrats (Bill Weld, R)

Incumbency: The incumbent party candidate is the sitting president. - Republicans

Third party: There is no significant third party or independent campaign. Unclear

Short term economy: The economy is not in recession during the election campaign. Unclear

Long term economy: Real per capita economic growth during the term equals or exceeds mean growth during the previous two terms. - Republicans - as of now

Policy change: The incumbent administration effects major changes in national policy. - Democrats (There have been no official major changes in national policy)

Social unrest: There is no sustained social unrest during the term. - Republicans (sustained disgust but not sustained unrest)

Scandal: The incumbent administration is untainted by major scandal. - Democrats In this case, the scandal(s) are so big and so over reaching that it is possible that is all that is needed for Democrats to win...no guarantee though.

Foreign/military failure: The incumbent administration suffers no major failure in foreign or military affairs. - Democrats (Major failure with North Korea)

Foreign/military success: The incumbent administration achieves a major success in foreign or military affairs. - Democrats (No major success in foreign affairs or military affairs)

Incumbent charisma: The incumbent party candidate is charismatic or a national hero. - Republicans (Some would say Trump is charismatic...I give this to them)

Challenger charisma: The challenging party candidate is not charismatic or a national hero. Unclear (Beto IS charismatic, so if he's the nominee, this one goes to the Democrats)

But...

Mueller is coming.
