"According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.
Polls that meet those standards are those sponsored by CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post."
Edit And that’s it! Thanks for watching everyone!
tl;dw:
Consensus is Trump didn’t so much as beat Biden as Biden beat himself.
The real loser is CNN who failed to fact check anyone, and there were obvious fact checks on both sides.
On anything at all? So… you like war? I assume you invest into the military industrial complex?
Biden ended the war in Afghanistan after 20 years. You just don’t like that he sells military hardware to other countries, but that’s what every president, even Jimmy Carter, does.
I think the way Biden went about it was wrong. We left military hardware that is now in the hands of the so-called enemy - the taliban. Which apparently they’re now utilizing and repairing vehicles and other military assets for use.
Ultimately, the Taliban were well-equipped and well-armed enough to push around the Afghan Government and US Govt. I hardly think a blackhawk and some hummers is going to make a difference, but people like you sure do love the negative optics for some reason.
I appreciate Biden doing what the other Presidents couldn’t. He saved American lives in the long-run
Forget the fact that this deflects the ultimate point: Biden actually got us out of a war; All Trump did was:
Sure, Trump will take down the military industrial complex…
No… that wasn’t my point.
Yeah that’s how it works. You should try living in the real world. It’s a drag! 😄
I’m pretty centered, leaning right. I can actually agree with the left with some things and not others.
If you like war, then I guess continue voting for the status quo, whether left or right.
One thing I disagree with Trump is his alignment with Israel.
Why is the former president and leader of the one of two political parties not the status quo?
Gore was status quo, but if he’d won we wouldn’t have had the war in Iraq.
Hilary was the status quo, but if she won we’d still have Roe v Wade.
If you vote republican, you will get the status quo with an added disaster or two mixed in.
I don’t believe Thomas Massie, for example, is status quo since he goes against the grain 9 times out of 10.
Yeah and I liked Justin Amash but 1 or 2 local Congress people do not define the party, definitely not enough that anyone should vote Trump because of them.
Agreed. I don’t know if Trump is status quo. He appears to be against the status quo. His actions would prove what side he’s on.
If only he had been president for 4 years already or something, then we’d know
Were you literally born yesterday? He’s already been president.
Think you quoted the wrong person… I flourished financially under Trump. As did the rest of the country. No one will forget.
