https://www.economist.com/graphic-detai ... nute-upsetIN HINDSIGHT, DONALD TRUMP’S surprise victory in the presidential election in 2016 should not have been quite so surprising. Mr Trump had an edge among less-educated white voters, who make up a disproportionate share of the electorate in several crucial battleground states; the gap between his favourability ratings and Hillary Clinton’s also decreased markedly after the third presidential debate; then, just 11 days before the election, there was the letter by James Comey, the FBI director, announcing the reopening of a probe into Mrs Clinton’s emails. These three events all helped to give Mr Trump a boost in the polls large enough to deliver him a majority in the electoral college. Can he repeat the feat?
It will be much harder this time around. Perhaps the main reason is that his opponent, Joe Biden, is much more popular than he is. According to The Economist’s monthly average of polls conducted by YouGov, 48% of registered voters rate Mr Biden favourably, versus 49% who rate him unfavourably—a deficit of just one percentage point. Mr Trump’s net favourability rating, by contrast, clocks in at minus 13; 43% view him positively and 56% negatively. Indeed, Mr Biden is also much better liked by Americans than Mrs Clinton was in 2016: at this point in the race, her net favourability rating was -14, 13 points worse than Mr Biden’s today.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/presid ... -to-debateHunter Biden business associate's text messages indicate meeting with Joe Biden
EXCLUSIVE: Text messages obtained by Fox News show the CEO of a Jim and Hunter Biden joint venture with a Chinese energy firm discussing a meeting with Joe Biden in May 2017, despite past claims from the former vice president that he did not talk about his son's business dealings.
The text message chain was obtained after the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Senate Finance Committee requested documents related to Bobulinski’s business affairs with the Biden family. He has provided the committees with the documents. Fox News has also, separately, obtained those documents.
The meeting on May 2, 2017, would have taken place just 11 days before the May 13, 2017, email obtained by Fox News last week, which included a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared to identify Biden as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC,” in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.
Bobulinski, in a statement to Fox News, said “Hunter Biden called his dad ‘the Big Guy’ or ‘my Chairman,’ and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing.”
"I've seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business," Bobulinski said. "I've seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn't just Hunter's business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line."
He added: “I realized the Chinese were not really focused on a healthy financial ROI. They were looking at this as a political or influence investment.”
“Once I realized that Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese, I took steps to prevent that from happening,” Bobulinski said, adding that he asks “the Biden family to address the American people and outline the facts so I can go back to being irrelevant — and so I am not put in a position to have to answer those questions for them.”
Bobulinski said he doesn’t “have a political ax to grind.”
“I just saw behind the Biden curtain and I grew concerned with what I saw,” he said. “The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist-controlled China.”
*checks calendar*President Trump plans to bring Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski as guest to debate
President Trump is expected to bring former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski as his guest to the final presidential debate Thursday night, Fox News has learned.
Bobulinski is a retired lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, which he explained "was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family." He said he was brought on as CEO by Hunter Biden and James Gilliar.
Bobulinski, in a statement to Fox News, said he does not believe Joe Biden's past claim that he did not discuss his son Hunter's business affairs with him, claiming that Hunter "frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals."

This is a great site.
Oh, yeah, the whole America first movement... (which is also why many question that slogan choice by Trump) That's what kept FDR from going to war against fascism until the US themselves were attacked. Several prominent Americans (Henry Ford, Joseph Kennedy, Charles Lindbergh... ) admired what Hitler did and wanted the US to maintain friendly relations with Germany even after the attack on Poland.Strangelove wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 8:30 pm

https://www.motl.org/the-american-paper ... ed-hitler/In the 82 press conferences FDR held in 1933, the subject of the Nazi persecution of the Jews arose just once, and not at Roosevelt’s initiative. It would be five years, and an additional 348 presidential press conferences, before anything about Europe’s Jews would be mentioned again by the president.
During the 1930s, the position of the White House was not just to sidestep the plight of the Jews, but also to combat any domestic criticism or protests that might interfere with U.S.-German diplomatic and economic relations.
The administration intervened to block congressional resolutions in 1933-34 criticizing Nazi Germany. It also tried to dissuade Jewish groups from staging a mock trial of Hitler. Secretary of State Cordell Hull shared with U.S. diplomats in Germany his “fear that the continued dissemination of exaggerated reports may prejudice the friendly feelings between the peoples of the two countries and be of doubtful service to anyone.”
Hull apologized to the Nazi regime when a New York City judge acquitted protesters who tore a swastika flag off a German ship in New York Harbor in 1935. He apologized again in 1937 when Mayor Fiorello La Guardia called Hitler a “fanatic who is threatening the peace of the world.” Roosevelt even compelled Interior Secretary Harold Ickes to remove critical references to Hitler, Mussolini, and Nazism from a 1938 speech.
When U.S. Jewish groups organized a boycott of German products, Hull asserted it would be damaging to American interests. The administration even quietly permitted goods to be labeled as having been made in a particular city or province rather than requiring that they be stamped “Made in Germany.” It took the threat of a lawsuit by Jewish leaders to put an end to that. The labeling episode was a tailor-made opportunity for investigative journalism—if the mainstream news media had any interest in exposing the administration’s duplicity. Which it didn’t.
