    How will the current events affect the electorate

    I think we all know that most of the polls. are at Razors Edge. But there is a very small percentage of people that probably haven't made up their mind or are struggling with who to vote for. My question is how the virus and the current political environment involving the Takeover of portions of cities and burning businesses to the ground and violence will affect that small percentage because those are the people that will elect the next president. What are your thoughts I just am not sure myself.

    Chances are Sino-Joe won’t make it sane through his prospective presidency, which means we will most likely be stuck with a radical Lefty quota pick. If the Democrat wins this November, it will probably drag the senate with it, which will open a plethora of radical game-changing Leftist flood of both legislation and radical apparatchik bureaucrats into your life.

    I also don't think you're wrong. I'm looking forward to surviving President Biden.

    It's not Biden that concerns me, he is too far gone to cause many problems and I doubt he will hold office very long. My fear is of his successor, whoever that might be.

    We'll be ok.. it will all work out..

    had a grandfather who would "spit nails" at the mention of FDR.. even after 30 years .. but the grandkids were all ok..

    Just my opinion, I could be wrong..

    I grew up in Norfolk Virginia.. I remember school yard name calling a little differently.. we would have said "Sino-Joe neener, neener poo-poo".. funny how things are the same yet a little different around the country..

    Momentum is strongly against common sense at the moment.

    I recall one day in October of 2008, while in a comparatively large mom and pop gun shop up near the cottage, listening to mom rant on and on about how---if that Obama guy gets elected they will be closed down within a month----it was the most effective marketing tool I had ever seen in a gun store. It was so good, she rode that rant (with a few variations and additions for hillary) for the next 8 years----I'll have to stop in and see if she made any major changes to the line.

    I may be optimistic, but I think things could be much worse than they are. As stated earlier - we'll be O.K.

    We could probably survive Biden, but if Trump crashes and burns he will bring us a dem Senate too.

    Our biggest gun store went broke, and we all know what happened to Walmart. Is it possible the NE doesn't accurately reflect what is happening in the rest of the world?
