This GOP poll also has some issues for Trump. This is kind of mixed bag. There are a good many in the party who wish to go back to a more traditional conservative position and away from the populist, nationalism of Trump. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-has-remade-gop-but-poll-finds-its-at-a-price/ar-AAGb3xH

62% disapproval of Trump in this poll. https://apnews.com/1ad13f32984a4480a45738ead2b4c0d8

I have to go wt the 82 team. Saw both play. I think the 82 team was more dominant. I recall that they seemed to be very balanced on both sides of the ball without any glaring weakness on either side. The O had such a strong offensive line - Remmington and Steinkuhler on the same line - give me a break. Roger Craig and Rozier & Jeff Smith playing backup still got 500+ yards in the backfield - give me a break # 2. We also had the Triplets - give me a break # 3. The 1993 team was very talented but still coming to that conclusion themselves - they were young and hungry. 93 team winning the NC would have been as an underdog. 82 being named the NC would not have been as an underdog. They were truly deserving and would have been so outside of the ref's call at PSU.

Now Trump has been trying to shame the Fox news people back to his propaganda play book - the opinion people were and continue to be in his bag and are his spokesperson.

Not my first choices to be Trump's GOP challengers: Joe Walsh, Mark Stanford, Bill Weld Kasich where are you? https://nypost.com/2019/08/22/conservative-radio-host-joe-walsh-may-run-against-trump/

amazing story. I didn't know anything about it. Umm got me thinking - If Trump decided to round up every illegal in this country, what would we do?

Hiclenloper and Beto could help to flip the Senate. In the long run, Beto will have more influence in the senate then being someone's VP. He is young enough to take another shot at running for the WH later.

Probably playing to get his idea out there in the market place and possible role in the next govt.

Yes the ticking time bomb thing here. I got to think they could make the argument on Amendment 25 issues alone at this point. No one in the admin has the guts to do so it appears but someone has to take charge. Trump is displaying mental illness at an increasingly worrisome rate.

So amazingly --- words cannot express it. The guy is literally Amendment 25,Article 4 nuts. We all know Hitler was deranged - we are seeing it before our own eyes now. In my post on fascism in the Angry Right thread one of the key characteristics of fascism is an over the top emphasis on the military - both in power and in image. You might notice how so many dictators of the past had a chest full of metals - even thought they weren't military people. I think it goes back to what Rubio said in the debates about 'small hands'. So to make one feel big - metals are needed to sooth the insecure & conflicted mind.

Brown people live in PR.

Some variables are at play as well- 1. What does China do - back down on tariffs and allow Trump to 'win' but America lose - long term, or do they stay firm on tariffs and Trump loses the farm vote, the rust belt vote - if so, Trump loses in a landslide. Trump rolled the dice and I think will lose the gamble. 2. The economy - does it eek out one more year of growth before a recession hits or do we start to enter the recession in 2020? This morning I heard that Dept of Labor had to revise down the 2018 job growth by 500K jobs. Job growth of 2018 basically matched that of 2016. Thus Trump's booming economy isn't so booming. Not to mention the drag of tariffs, the fading tax cut, etc. 3. Who the Dems nominate - Biden may be able to stand toe to toe wt Trump on the debate stage, Harris will out debate him, Warren will sound more knowledgable on policy (even if one may not agree wt all of it) I think Bernie still scares people. My gut feeling: of the purple/blue states that Trump won in 2016 - Wisc, Mi, Pa - I think Trump gets only one as he hasn't brought back all of those manufacturing jobs he promised. I think Florida flips back to the Dem side. If these things happen, Trump is toast and his next stop is to sit before a judge facing charges related to the things Mueller could not indite him on.
