    32% Democratic, 32% Independent!, 26% Republican. 51% of those who voted voted for Biden, 43% are very unfavorable towards Trump, 41% are very unfavorable towards Biden, Trump has a 1% lead if he and Biden were the only candidates and 2% otherwise. 26% only finished High School. That is very interesting.

      The NYT has been having a real one ever since Trump edged ahead of Biden in the polls.

      This is pretty standard for the Newspaper Of Record. They will gargle your balls when you’re leading, then start pissing on your face as soon as you dip under the 50% marker.

      This creates a certain degree of ideological confusion, as “The NYT is too right wing!” was a popular belief under Bush while “No! Too left wing!” was popular under Obama and later Trump.

      But they’re literally just blowing in the wind. If Biden ever gets over the 50% approval line, you’ll see a flood of “Yo, did you know Trump Bad Aktuly?!” headlines and “Is Biden our greatest American President? These three guys trying to sell you a book think so!” Op-Ed think pieces.

    It’s also stupid because Trump doesn’t really respect anyone regardless of gender. He just regards people as furniture.

      Trump loves his beautiful generals. He loves Big Guys. He absolutely adores a strong man dictator, whether its Mussolini or Kim Jung Un or Putin or Xi or Duterte or Netanyahu. Anyone a line of guys in uniform have to salute can win Trump’s heart.

      He’s simply got a hard on for powerful people. Margaret Thatcher’s Iron Lady act absolutely gets his rod up.
