he'll 1000% abuse this if elected and given the chance. he's like a petulant little kid. again, I'm voting for his policy, but he's all about revenge against slights and wrongs, both real and perceived.

There is a difference, but I wouldn't at all put it past Trump to do so if he had the infrastructure in place to get away with it like the Dems currently do. With the amount of effort he's invested in ruining those republicans who've opposed him, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Surely you're aware of the great lengths Trump has gone to disrupt the elections and destroy the careers of republican politicians who haven't supported some of his most outlandish claims, or dared to question him or disagree with him about January 6. You and I actually agree on this issue, although it must only go one way for you, because Trump's actions against republicans who didn't fall into lockstep with him is one of my biggest concerns about reelecting him. The fact that he took action to affect literally hundreds of republican primaries from national elections down to municipal levels across the country, is concerning. It would've been one thing had he done it in an effort to help republicans win. Instead his purpose was to push out his perceived detractors and install MAGA politicians at every level of government in as many places as possible, and has resulted in a fractured republican party.

Most voters doubt Biden’s physical, mental fitness to be president, Trump’s ability to act ethically: poll | Fox News "Most American voters have little confidence that President Biden possesses the physical and mental fitness required to serve another term in the White House, while a similar majority is concerned that former President Trump would not act ethically if elected, according to a new poll." Pretty much sums it up for me. I'll take the unethical guy and hope that he sticks with similar policy to what he did the first time, but no way i actually trust him. It's still mind-blowing to me that this is the matchup we have for the second election running.

Intentionally keeping top secret documents haphazardly around the house comes to mind. A lot of what came out of his mouth, torpedoing the political careers of republicans who didn’t fall in line? I don’t know that he all of a sudden became a beacon of moral light and goodness just because he got into office. Again, we’re not talking about policy, but what kind of person he is. If anything he seemed to get worse once he was in power as far as I could see.

I get all of the arguments, but part of being the AD is doing what’s best for all of your programs, not just football. And it’s not best for the baseball program for one of its best players to be hurt doing football drills right before the baseball playoffs. There are things he can be doing to get ready for football that don’t risk injury. And I also stand by the opinion that the football coach would not be happy at all if the kid got hurt in the middle of football season at a fall practice for varsity baseball. In fact I’d bet a whole lot of money that that player wouldn’t be allowed to participate in that baseball practice to begin with. I think a lot of the people that are okay with this would also be upset if the situation and sports were reversed, because they’re only really worried about football. But that’s just my opinion.

Kinda depends for me. Did coach mandate it? Tell the player he better show up? Or did the player want/choose to be there?

It better be mild. It's necessary during football season, but you shouldn't have other sport athletes going crazy on the weights in the middle of their other seasons. There's plenty of off season.

i think this is true to some degree. I even think various news sources (on both sides) will tout the ones that they think will galvanize voters, whether they reflect well or poorly on their candidate.

when kids play multiple sports in high school they should be allowed to focus on one sport at a time. There's no reason a baseball player who's about to go to the playoffs should get hurt running football drills in April. Imagine if this had been reversed and a star football player shattered his wrist taking mandated varsity batting practice in September.

only when we disagree with them.

they're the same ones republicans site when they say Trump's ahead, and that democrats quote when they say Biden is catching up. They're always super accurate as long as they agree with what we want to happen.

Pretty funny this list doesn't include Merrick Garland. I was fine with the result, but it was also total BS, and had dems done the same thing the right would've acted in similar fashion.

sure I can. Countless polls have shown it. Common sense dictates it, as does Biden's sub 35% approval rate. But hey, lets run the one guy who can muster up some energy on the left!

There have been plenty of polls (for whatever they're worth) that have shown other republicans polling much better against Biden in a general election than Trump. It's all irrelevant now. Hoping that it all works out and we don't get four more years of sleepy joe, but I don't want to hear a bunch of whining from the die hard MAGAs if we do.

it's a tie. what's hilarious is the superiority complex both sides have about it. I honestly can't decide what's worse: the left pretending biden is good, or the right pretending that if Trump doesn't win it's somehow the left's fault more than their own for not picking literally any other candidate, which would've resulted into a cakewalk into the oval office.

Woah

So did I 🤷🏻‍♂️. And will a third time. But I still find it insane that he’s the one the right is running out for this one.

I honestly don’t disagree with much or any of this post. My issue, and a point that CB is making, and that it appears like you agree with, is that we could’ve gotten very similar policy from someone like Desantis. And I truly believe he would’ve cakewalked to victory. Yet somehow the majority of the conservative right has put Trump back into the election. And by a land slide.

Do I think he’s changed? Not really. But if so, that would be great!

Instead of taking time to break down all of the things that Trump has done that make him a bad person or dirty, or immoral (and I refuse to believe that you're dense enough not to know about many of them) let me counter with a question: how many of the 88 charges Trump is facing have to be legit for them to mean something to you? You're trying to comingle policy with actions. I already said Trump's politics align much more with mine that Biden's. But Trump has a list of transgressions, immorality, crooked business deals, etc. that more than rivals Biden's and his family.

I STRONGLY disagree with this assertion, and you're just making my point for me by trying to say that Biden's corruption is somehow way worse than Trump's with a straight face. Trump's politics (or at least the politics that suit him) just align with mine significantly more than Biden's. They're two peas in a pod, but on different sides of the aisle. I'm sure if I was a diehard conservative all of his issues would seem like minor indiscretions or witch hunts, and if I was a rabid liberal old Sleepy Joe would seem like a strong president who didn't really do much wrong. But yeah, bless my heart for not swallowing the orange koolaid

There's a lot of irony in this post. You're right, if he was a lefty the liberals wouldn't say a word. But because he's a republican, the righteous right is giving Trump a hard pass on stuff that they've absolutely bombed the left for doing for as long as I've been alive, and are actually feigning indignation about the left criticizing his behavior. Y'all can hate CB all you want, but he's correct on this one. the conservative outrage over the left's character assassinations of Trump is hilarious. Trump is about as immoral and dirty as they come, and it's a real mind bender watching conservative Christians stump so hard for him, especially when Christian values and morality has supposedly been the backbone of the republican party all this time. And as always, I'll put in my disclaimer that I thought he did a decent job as president and will be voting for him in the election, so nobody throws TDS at me.

I don't know. I seem to have read a lot of posts on these nederland threads about how the players aren't dedicated enough to football. Seems this is exactly what some folks want. I'm hoping it was the kid's decision to go out there and not the new coach pushing for it.
