“In a potential preview of what their messaging will be during next week’s convention, the Republican presidential ticket is again insisting that the coronavirus will go away by a “miracle.”
During a Thursday night interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity timed to coincide with the final night of the Democratic National Convention, President Trump said he hoped the pandemic was “nearing the final term.”
That was followed by a round of Friday morning interviews by Vice President Mike Pence. On CNN, Pence said “we think there’s a miracle around the corner” in the form of a coronavirus vaccine that could be available by the end of the year, calling it a “tribute to President Trump’s leadership.” This follows comments from Trump earlier this month predicting a vaccine could be ready by Election Day, and earlier this year when he alluded to the virus disappearing “like a miracle.””
Any day now...... A bigly, huge, beautiful miracle that some people have talked about that loves trump will arrive.

Biden is not mentally capable of running the Country. It is interesting to see the media cover for him and esp after they harrassed the medical doctor in the press conference after the election re: Trump.
This is the interview from April 5th. Why did "Red State" post the 20 seconds that the man who worked to overcome a stutter struggled? It is less than 12 minutes here:

The point I am making is that the used to be main stream news is bias. Even you believed that nonsense that was later proven to be false reporting. I am sure I could dig up those quotes if you need further clarification. Again, the point is that the liberal media talking heads are bias, incompetent, and/or flat out lie.
Every media outlet has bias. You regularly cite media with right wing bias. Why complain so much if you aren't going to try to find unbiased sources for your claims as a model for the rest of us? I'm quite certain that you don't want to get into a tit for tat relative to the propensity of say Fox or Redstate to lie versus the WaPo or NYT...or maybe you do. I don't want to assume.

That's a very partisan and biased opinion of Biden's communication skills. Let's use that same standard of concern for Trump. Read this transcript. Outloud works well.

I'm so hopeful that there will be an effective vaccine widely available by next Summer...it's a prayer, really, for me.
Well the FDA will follow the example of the CDC and the WHO and put out an unproven vaccine to gullible desperate people instead of waiting for testing to be complet to ensure efficacy and safety>

I don't trust anyone who works loyally for Trump...I have much more trust for career scientists and staff than appointed political staff during this dishonest administration.

Trump is not someone I would follow under the worst of circumstances that is for sure - but the previous administration ran on a platform of hope and change and did nothing but further devide the country - and healthcare is no more affordable or accessible than it was before.

Deflecting to a feeling about the previous president to somehow justify supporting what is not acceptable during this administration is weird. The last administration didn't require loyalty to the president as a condition of employment, it didn't fire watchdogs and inspectors general after receiving criticism. That projection is silly. And trying to change subject to health care doesn't change the reality that Trump runs the executive branch like a mob family.

I am not going to get into an argument with you. All presidents make false promises and claims. As a Libertarion I hope we are someday able to do away with the two party system so that people with the potential to be great leaders can have a chance. I am for people being treated equally and respectfully, small government, low taxes etc... Our current system is so bloated with politicians of both parties who get rich off the backs of the proor that the only true hope for this country is to vote out every single incombant and start from scratch. I didn't like any of the past 5 administrations probably farther back than that if the truth were known.

This is a discussion board. Argument can be, but is not always a quarrel. We have disagreement.
I was a dues paying libertarian for many years. It's the only political party I've ever formally belonged to. I held elected office as an independent.
All presidents aren't Trump, who is the most dishonest and corrupt president in the history of the country...certainly of my lifetime and I think I'm quite a bit older than you. We don't measure Trump's lies against the lies of others, although he lies so much more than any other president or politician that it's not even a contest. We measure Trump's lies against expectations and standards for any other American holding a position of immense responsibility and consequence.
This isn't really about whether or not we "like" an administration, it's about paying attention to and recognizing the symptoms of threats to our republic.
A man who is cavalier about our laws and his relationship to them is a danger to our republic. A man who insists that his election will be rigged or fraudulent in advance of the vote and suggests ways that would delay or limit voting, is a threat to our republic. A man who would risk national security for his personal agenda (think Helsinki) poses a threat to our republic.
I'm all for term limits and getting rid incumbents. The GOP is defending a bunch of seats in the Senate...it's time for them to go. Mitch needs to be a minority leader where he can do less damage.

Agreed. The issue though goes much deeper than elected officials. The swamp, made up of special interests and their lobbyists, will continue to get their individual agendas addressed even if we start from scratch.
This is where term limits come into play, especially in the house. It takes a while, months at least, for freshmen in the house to learn their way around the bureaucracy. By that point they’re running for reelection. And funding mostly comes as a quid pro quo arrangement. So we’re back in the swamp loop. But if congress had set term limits, say 4-6 years for both chambers, that would give them time to learn the system & then address their actual constituents, not the wallets.
