Someone posted this below Trump's latest tweet, and it appears to be real (at least the survey it is based on is).

But why would Fox News show it? This is not a good thing.

It's the Republican primary all over again. Xi and Khamenei should drop out already and endorse Kim or Putin.
Sure, Kim's online fan base might be toxic but at least he's better than Trump and Putin is just a different old white man who is running for like 20 years already.

Also this poll was taken before he blew up Soleimani and social media trends clearly show that Khamenei's numbers are going down rapidly.
That virus can't be good for Xi either.

https://nypost.com/2020/01/29/hillary-clinton-refuses-to-be-served-tulsi-gabbards-defamation-lawsuit/

Quote

Hillary Clinton has now twice snubbed a process server attempting to deliver the defamation lawsuit filed against her by Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, according to Gabbard’s attorney.

“I find it rather unbelievable that Hillary Clinton is so intimidated by Tulsi Gabbard that she won’t accept service of process,” the congresswoman’s attorney, Brian Dunne, told The Post. “But I guess here we are.”

Dunne said their process server first attempted to effect service at the Clinton’s house in Chappaqua Tuesday afternoon — but was turned away by Secret Service agents.

The agents directed the server to the Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, who on Wednesday claimed at his Washington, D.C. firm Williams & Connolly that he was unable to accept service on Clinton’s behalf, said Dunne.

Quote

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) is being called to suspend her presidential campaign after an Associated Press story published Tuesday showed she may have mishandled a case while she was Hennepin County's District Attorney.

As the county DA, Klobuchar led the case against Myon Burrell, who was a teenager at the time and was sentenced to life in prison for the 2002 murder of 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards. The AP story revealed that Klobuchar prosecuted Burrell, now 33, despite there being little evidence and even though his co-defendant confessed to the crime and said Burrell wasn’t there.

Quote

On Wednesday, the Racial Justice Network, Minneapolis NAACP, Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar, and Communities United Against Police Brutality all asked Klobuchar to suspend her White House bid. Edwards's father has also come out saying he believes Burrell may have been wrongfully convicted.

This is a dumpster fire. Either the Republicans can allow witness testimony of Bolton which the masses want or cover it up. If they allow testimony, the damage will be so bad they'll have to remove Trump. If they dont, it would be just as bad as acquittal, if the Quinnipiac 75% registered voters wanting Bolton is to believed.

Yes.. the independents who voted for the anti-Establishment candidate last time are going to come out in droves for the bumbling idiot career Dem?

The independents who voted for trump won't hesitate to vote for Biden simply because he's a bumbling idiot--because it didn't stop them from voting for a bigger one. Will they not vote for him because he's a blustering idiot who is also a career Dem? That's a different argument.

"Anti-Establishment" is largely an empty buzzword. Regardless, the vast majority won't, but he generally polls well with independents (not as well as before). He only needs to turn a few.

I'm not stanning for Biden. I just don't see how being a "blustering idiot" will hurt him against Trump in the general. I don't. If Democrats stay home, it will be because of his policies.

I think the argument is Biden is basically Hillary with a hang down, except he introduced to the US the beauty of the 2005 bankruptcy bill that has 40% of Americans in Student Loan debt slavery that they can never get out of, has been advocating for reducing Social Security for 40 years, was a segregationist, and has dementia. Oh, and is challenging an incumbent President.

Sure, Trump is susceptible to lose to ANYONE, but Biden has a ton of baggage that will be ripe for Trump to exploit + can barely string 10 words together without calling a voter fat, challenging him to a push up contest, or telling him to vote for the other guy.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/29/politics/rand-paul-whistleblower-senate-impeachment-trial/index.html

Quote

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky expressed frustration with Republican leadership during the Senate impeachment trial Wednesday night after it was made clear Chief Justice John Roberts would not read his question that named the alleged Ukraine whistleblower, sources with knowledge of the situation said.

Quote

He was able to review questions from senators who submitted them prior to the start of Wednesday's proceedings, according to two sources. Paul's question, which sources said was revised several times but explicitly would have named the alleged whistleblower, ran afoul of the line Roberts drew on the matter.
Paul, for his part, could be seen and overheard expressing his frustration on the Senate floor during a break in the proceedings. "If I have to fight for recognition, I will," he was heard telling a Republican staffer.
The dispute created a behind-the-scenes issue that Republican leaders were attempting to resolve, though no solution had been reached by Wednesday evening.

Rand Paul wants to out the whistleblower.

Quote

Roberts' refusal to read Paul's question also marks a rare moment of meaningful authority as he presides over the trial -- a position that is highly public but has largely seen him recite procedural rules, keep the clock and read aloud vote tallies.
The chief justice has long been known for his extensive preparation and an ability to foresee what's ahead, which some colleagues have likened to three-dimensional chess

Still it's hilarious that the Democrats are pinning their hopes on a neo-con who tricked them into going to war with Iraq and who they have hated for years.
And Trump hired him to 'trigger the libs' only to find out he actually did want and tried to start more wars, which the Democrats warned him about before he hired him.
