On tweeter they are talking about Biden and Montana and Kansas….
No shit!
They IS getting off the hook‼️😆
CG says
You may be a bit mistaken.
Biden is not going to win Montana or Kansas. The D Senate candidates might though. In Kansas, that will depend on a Kris Kobach nomination by Republicans. Otherwise, virtually no chance there.

I KNOW Biden isn’t gonna win Montana or Kansas…
If he did?
We’d be talking about 400+ EV’s

Why are you making comments on a post from two months ago ?
My Name Is Jack says
What poll was this?
If Trump is getting 28% of the Black vote?Then he is re-elected.
That would be the highest Voting percentage for any Republican presidential candidate in the past sixty years .
I don’t think even Trumps most ardent supporters believe that.
That poll is garbage.
Scott P says
I think it’s one of the polls they jerk off to over at HHR
jamesb says
He, he, he……
jamesb says
Hey Jack?
Trump paraded out all those black folks because HE thinks he can steal some votes from Biden….
What u don’t believe him?
jamesb says
Washington Examiner….
Twenty-four percent of registered black voters approve of the job Trump is doing, a rise of 9 percentage points from a poll taken earlier in August, a Hill-HarrisX poll found.
My Name Is Jack says
If you believe that.
Then Trump is obviously going to be re-elected.
My Name Is Jack says
I might add just running these garbage polls is really a waste of time.
