I think Biden won the first debate fairly easily. Trump won this one.

Per Biden, we had a good relationship with Hitler until the war started.

So while Biden is on the debate stage, this comes out. I thought he had it in the bag, but now I think he's ****ed. It undermines the impeachment fiasco and makes it look like Trump was right to go digging after all.

Nobody really gives a ****. This won't matter.

In fact impeachment might've actually been smart in that this was a bombshell story Trump was trying to save for right before the election to hurt Biden and thanks to the impeachment hearings all of these Hunter Biden allegations are old news at this point.

I'm sure he's corrupt. Once again the truth is irrelevant. This would've sunk him a long time ago if it was gonna stick.

It's just like the coronavirus. I think just about any president would've done better than Trump but at this point in the game the cat is out of the bag and it's dubious whether Biden or anyone else can do much to seriously flatten the curve.

That's irrelevant though. Trump was the one in charge so people are going to see the coronavirus as a bad thing for Trump. That's the way elections go. When the economy was good he would inherit the benefit of it being good even though it was just the same basic upward trend that started under Obama. Well, that's a double edged sword cause now that ****'s not so good you also inherit the blame for that too.

Yep, I'd agree with you about the impact of the Hunter Biden story, jwb.

You understand that Hunter Biden is not the presidential candidate, right?

Spoiler for Hunter Biden Rabbit Hole goes nowhere:

At a quick read, Anteater's Newsweek article seems to consist largely of people denying the implications of the headline. It's clickbait more than journalism, as these two quotes from the article demonstrate:-

Shortly after the publication of Strassel's opinion article, the Wall Street Journal's news reporters released an article which stated that Bobulinski's records provide no evidence that Joe Biden ever used his political standing as a former vice president to aid Hunter's business dealings in China.

James Gilliar, one of Hunter Biden's business associates who recruited Bobulinski for the joint Chinese venture, told the publication, "I am unaware of any involvement at any time of the former Vice President. The activity in question never delivered any project revenue."

With the ever-shifting poll numbers and stats, I think these are some important figures that are worth keeping in mind:-

1. The Trump admin's mismangement of CV has caused approx 130,000 unnecessary deaths, that could've been avoided just by following warning signs and precedents from other countries. That's about forty-three 9/11s. Of course there's a difference between malice and bungling, but motives apart, it's not a good score for Pence et al.

2. Malice did play a part in this statistic though: under Trump's watch, 548 children have been turned into orphans by the US government's deliberate policy at the border. That's a lot of crying, traumatised children.

3. If the ACA is struck down by the Supreme Court on Nov 10, which the GOP is clearly intent on, 20 million people could find themselves without health coverage.

Is this going to be like when Comey released news about the emails on the eve of the election and then somehow gets framed up as being against Trump?
