Well, unlike Trump, GWB had very high ratings in much of the 1st term and a 62% average approval.

Looks to me he was sliding(down to ~50%) before 9/11 boosted him, after which is was pretty much all down hill, except for the quick blip in 2003.
 
So question since someone brought up if we met each roger and didn’t know our screen names we wouldn’t have an argument.

in February I went up to Woody Gap near Dahlonega during a snowfall and met a member of this board that went up there too. Saw a guy who looked like he was chaseing like me and chatted him up. Turns out he is a poster here. The poster drove a truck. As did I. Met on the top on Feb 20th.

was it one of you guys? It was a white guy in his 30s-40s. Nice guy we didn’t chat long but you seemed cool. Sorry for the sideways photos

biden would bring more compromise than you think. It’s anecdotal but I know several republicans that could tolerate a biden presidency over any other candidate that ran this year on the left.
I think you will find more than a few trump voters that defect to Biden.

My current main concern about Biden is whether or not dementia is setting in. For that reason, he may end up being a weak debater and candidate and not a good POTUS. But Biden's history, especially as senator, tells me he's a compromiser and one of the most centrist Dems at heart. Hopefully, the overall more progressive Dem party won't pull him too much to the left. Also, his VP pick will be more important than usual. If it is Warren, uh oh.

You say you look past it yet you bring it up every day. How does that work? It doesn't. If you actually looked past it you wouldn't care if people bashed him nor would you comment about it.

Clearly it gets to you since the way you responded was to call me a Trump hater. I don't hate the guy, I voted for him in 2016. However I feel he isn't fit for a second term so I won't vote for him again. And to call him out is fine. I'll call out any president who fails the people of the US.

His VP pick is critical as it is likely that if Biden were to win, the VP would be finishing out his term as president. I think if we end up with Democrats controlling the House, Senate and Presidency, we will never see another conservative president get elected again and the decent into Socialism will accelerate. I was hoping we could forestall this decline at least another four years. If we can buy enough time, I think conservatism can start gaining some ground.

conservatives have the Supreme Court locked down for a few decades.
 
I think Biden picks a lady and a liberal. The Democratic Party has become much more liberal in past years. Yes some republicans have been crazy also but not like the Democratic side.

he’s already said he’s picking a female. It’s really between Harris or Klobuchar

Liberals. So that’s way Democrat’s get socialism into WH. Biden is just stepping stone for them.

Write and say anything you want to. I support that. Freedom of speech. I will say what he says is ridiculous. I have before and will continue but what good does it do? He’s the president and nothing we can do. No different than when Obama and Pelosi and other idiot politicians run their mouths. All everyone can do is vote against them when time comes.

NO. There is something you can do. First is dont tacitly approve of his comments by blowing them off as "hes the prez" " well i dont support what he says but I support him anyways"

Then there is something you can do next November which is vote AGAINST trump. Anything short of that means you do support all the nonsense.
