Probably less so, in fact. If he said something like that at a press conference you'd have more reason to be concerned. The Biden campaign has made it clear that on one issue which is a cause of tension between Ireland and the UK, the President-elect's view is very close to that of the Irish Government. The same goes for the Democratic leadership in the House, and in fact a substantial proportion of the Republican membership of the House. On other significant strategic matters, the President-elect will be seeking to ensure a smoother relationship between the US and the UK. He will also be trying to do likewise with France.

Sharpie Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I have not been enthusiastic about Biden throughout the election,but have to concede he beat Trump which was a blessing for man. I just finished watching his speech, and I have to say I enjoyed it, he was not suggesting anyone would build a wall and pay for it, he actually repeated a lot he has said before. He spoke well, strongly but not aggressively, but what has really in way endeared me to him now was his family, they seemed so normal, and loving. He spoke highly of his wife and how she helped and supported him, I can relate to that, I had the good fortune to have similar, To gain true success in your ambitions, I is a term you will never have to use, because the support and sacrifice of a good woman brings out the term we, and I see that in Bidens relationship and his loving family. It was nice to hear a man mention God who it seems has lived according to his way, and does not just use him as a prop to encourage followers. He has faced and handled some of lifes most taunting challenges death of his first wife and a young child, death of a son, and yet he has pushed on. I am glad I watched the celebration, it has given me a more positive and optimistic view of Biden, my original was I would have supported the election of my next door neighbours dog and neither of us is even American as long as it helped oust the untruthful sinner, adulterous, stranger to the truth that was in the position. Work hard President Elect Biden, stay honest, and you will have my support such as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work hard President Elect Biden, stay honest, and you will have my support such as it is. I haven't been enthusiastic either, to be honest. I'd have preferred to see a more energetic and braver candidate and campaign. But his centrist strategy paid off, and he won. Most importantly, the United States of America needs a President who is loyal to the United States and to its best interests, and a lot of the rest of the world needs it too. Biden is that; his opponent isn't. I know it's an old political cliché that you campaign in poetry and govern in prose. But when a candidate actually campaigns in poetry, and in poetry that means a lot to you, that's a powerful thing to see. Beir bua agus beannacht, Joe Biden.

Maple Leaf Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 4 hours ago, Ulysses said: The Republican party nominee got 70 million votes. If Donald Trump sets up his own party he'll find out precisely how popular he is compared to the party that nominated him. That will be a far more painful experience for him than losing this election. It's an interesting point. In the election the Republicans in general did better than Trump personally, so you might well be right. But if starting up his own party results in a more painful experience for him, I'm all for it.

Exactly, I can't understand anyone entertaining him. He finds what the majority view is on any subject then jumps in with the opposite view. Doesn't matter how daft the opposite view is; if it means an argument he is there. Had him on ignore for ages but now I actually enjoy reading his laughable posts.

JFK-1 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I was thinking Trump might try to start some TV channel sort of Alex Jones style where he can continue the crazy. Might get millions of the devoted cultists to pay a monthly subscription say. But then again that would require some work on his part. The likes of Jones though crazy does actually work at the crazy broadcasting for hours. I don't think Trump has either the dedication nor the ability to do that. And I have never understood how these people are captivated by him. He has absolutely zero interest or even a shred of entertainment value for me. I can barely listen to him for a minute without thinking don't I have some wet paint around here I could go watch dry instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
