How do we know Trump wasn't the architect behind Covid? Let's not make assumptions here.

Simply put, we are much better off in America today than we were 4 years ago. Some of that is owed to Trump's failings and Biden's successes; some of it is random chance or good/bad luck. But it's just a fact. 4 years ago was a horrible time for this country, and right now things are generally much more normal and prosperous.

Someone on which ballot? The 12th amendment stipulates that they must choose from among the top 3 electoral vote-getters. And the Senate chooses the VP from the top 2 EV-getters.Split T wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 4:04 pmI guess the question would be if they are Trump fans because they have to be or because they want to be. Once you take it out of the hands of the people, they could jump behind a more traditional Republican candidate…is there any restriction on who they vote for? Does it have to be someone on the ballot?
The vote happens by state delegation--each state gets 1 vote and a candidate must receive 26 votes (states). If a state has an equal number of Dems and Reps I have no idea how that state would come to a vote. For example, North Carolina currently has 7 Dems and 7 Reps--who would they vote for?
That answers my question. I didn’t know if they could just pick anyone they want. They’d have to pick between Biden, Trump, and whoever won the electoral votes to keep someone from the needed total.JeremyG wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 4:18 pmSomeone on which ballot?

Thanks for the explanation!JeremyG wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 4:21 pmThe vote happens by state delegation--each state gets 1 vote and a candidate must receive 26 votes (states).

Also, this is January 6. So it's the new House that gets sworn in on January 3 that votes, not the current House. We don't know if there will be more Dems or Reps.
Doesn’t matter. RFK will do the job. Split the anti-Trump vote and Trump wins. All there is to it.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 3:47 pmIt looks like the No Labels group has decided not to put forward a 2024 Presidential candidate after all. IMO this is a good thing.

You think that the border wall is a campaign promise to buy voters? You think that the GOP is paying influencers to talk positively about Trump? If you know this is happening, please post it here. At least the wall started to be built and got funding legally. How many times has Biden been told what he's doing as far as Student Loans is unconstitutional? 3 or 4 times already? He's persistent at trying to pass the debt on to you and me though.
