I think it all depends on what comes out between now and the election. Also how Covid and civil unrest goes and if that'll get much worse.I was thinking that for a long time. Now I feel ever more on the fence.
The campaign against him could go either way and I'd guess is more likely to win trump votes.
In August, his approval rating was at 42%. Not very high. If he wins again, I think the civil unrest will get worse... perhaps civil war? It is already bad enough with all of the protests.I think it all depends on what comes out between now and the election. Also how Covid and civil unrest goes and if that'll get much worse.
Trump has definitely proven that he can weather the sort of bad publicity that most normal candidates can't but I don't think he's particularly popular right now either.
So I have family and friends on both sides of the political spectrum and it's been interesting to hear their perspectives.In August, his approval rating was at 42%. Not very high.

Yes, it is definitely worth noting that not all Republicans are far-right... and not all Dems are super liberal. My husband and I vote conservative, we are what you just called moderate, socially liberal, and fiscally conservative. I wouldn't tell many of my friends that though as A LOT of them are extremely liberal...in my opinion, too far left. In their mind, anyone that would vote "Tory" is evil. Utter nonsense.So I have family and friends on both sides of the political spectrum and it's been interesting to hear their perspectives.
You have some die-hard Dems who are against everything Trump (and are definitely voting for Biden regardless of what happens) and some Republicans who are like this as well. On the other hand, there are a lot of moderate voters who might've voted for a moderate republican usually (socially liberal, fiscally conservative) but now have to choose between Trump and the very left leaning Dem party. A good chunk of people fall into that moderate category.
I'm with you and your husband. I am generally socially liberal (supportive of minorities, skilled immigration, gay marriage, better access to and cheaper healthcare) but I am mixed on things like defunding the police, affirmative action, illegal immigration, etc. and I can see people similar to us being swayed both ways this election.Yes, it is definitely worth noting that not all Republicans are far-right... and not all Dems are super liberal.

In my opinion a fairly decent bloke with the best of intentions for the country. Least he doesn’t sniff kids hair - always a bonus in my book!If Joe is “creepy” what does that make Trump?
im interested that people see Biden as left-leaning as he’s a really quite conservative, uncontroversial politician who has previously appealed to both sides. His voting record has been unremarkable and I believe in any other time except 2020 he would be seen as a ”safe” option by republicans and Centrist/right leaning democrats alike.So I have family and friends on both sides of the political spectrum and it's been interesting to hear their perspectives.

A good chunk of people fall into that moderate category. I have a lot of friends for example who support the philosophy behind BLM but really hate the looters/protesters who are destroying property. I'm honestly not sure who they'd vote for.
Yeah, so much better than grabbing women by the pussy!In my opinion a fairly decent bloke with the best of intentions for the country. Least he doesn’t sniff kids hair - always a bonus in my book!
Have you got photographic evidence of this or you just going off a comment he made?!Yeah, so much better than grabbing women by the pussy!
Donald Trump is on camera saying this. Are you suggesting he is lying...about himself?Have you got photographic evidence of this or you just going off a comment he made?!
No I’m just suggesting that we all make comments, doesn’t necessarily mean they are true. How many times have you heard someone say “go grab them by the balls”? It doesn’t mean you actually go and grab someone by the balls.Donald Trump is on camera saying this. Are you suggesting he is lying...about himself?
but he didn’t say it as a turn of phrase. He used specific examples of how he uses his power to sexually touch women without their consent. He’s really quite specific. I’m curious as to why you’d suggest he didn’t mean what he said.No I’m just suggesting that we all make comments, doesn’t necessarily mean they are true.

It’ll be on most major news websites, google will take you straight to it.Have you got a link to the footage?
I think Biden himself may have a fairly conservative, uncontroversial voting record but it seems like the Democratic party as a whole has shifted quite a bit to the left these days and that's what's gonna spook some people. A lot of politics is perception rather than reality.im interested that people see Biden as left-leaning as he’s a really quite conservative, uncontroversial politician who has previously appealed to both sides.

I don't disagree with your comment and this may be an unpopular opinion, but creepy comments aside, I don't believe there was/is any improper conduct between Ivanka and her father and it's pretty gross that some of the media tries to paint this narrative. Like most of the controversial things he says, it may be inappropriate and ill-mannered, but I do think Trump has a good relationship with his kids. I think there's something to be said about marrying multiple times and having children with each of his wives, but you never catch a Trump spawn stumbling out of a nightclub with disheveled hair or with a drug scandal. Putting the politics aside, I do think he did a decent job raising his children.Given the many gross comments Trump has made about his own daughter I find it odd the the extreme Trump supporters are still using the tactic of smearing any opposition as a peadophile. It’s quite disturbing really.
