That would be glorious but I don’t think this will be the year... Jo doesn’t have the name recognition of gary on the libertarian side and most of the people who were enthusiastic about him aren’t voting or switched to trump ... if any third party could get over 5% of the vote it would mash open the monopoly the two evil parties have had for some time though...

No it wouldn't. Ross Perrot elected Clinton and kept him in office a second term by getting 19% his first run. Did phase the parties at all. The reason is that who ever the non-party candidate is will be seen as left or right. They will pull that only one side. Which means the other party will win.
Yep, you beat me to it.

The funniest thing about that ad is it's pretty effective until it cuts to Joe Biden at the end.
Wah, wah, waaah....
Trump is stupid but compared to Biden he looks like a ******* genius.
Thats kinda like AB whining about Ben.
that didn't age well.
National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien: Trump Should Be Frontrunner For Nobel Peace Prize
Posted By Ian Schwartz
On Date August 14, 2020
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v...uld_be_frontrunner_for_nobel_peace_prize.html
National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien said Thursday that President Trump should be considered the frontrunner for the Nobel Peace Prize because of the peace deal between the United Arab Emirates and Israel.
"It’s really remarkable when you step back and take a look at what this President has done on the peace front," O'Brien said at the press briefing on Thursday. "And it wouldn’t surprise me — it’ll take some time in this environment — but it wouldn’t surprise me if the President is eventually nominated for a Nobel Prize."
"Today’s work is an example of why he would be rightly considered and should be a frontrunner for the Nobel Peace Prize," he added.
A pretty big deal (not that our own American media would ever say so):

New US Curbs Threaten Huawei’s Smartphone Dominance, Hit Suppliers

SHANGHAI/SEOUL—Ramped-up U.S. restrictions on Huawei are likely to choke the Chinese company’s access to even off-the-shelf chips, threaten its position as the world’s largest smartphone maker, and disrupt global tech supply, executives and experts warned.
The Trump administration expanded its curbs on Huawei on Monday and banned suppliers from selling chips made using U.S. technology to the firm without a special license—closing potential loopholes in its May sanctions that could have let Huawei access the tech via third parties.
The curbs underscore the growing rift in Sino-U.S. ties as Washington presses governments to squeeze Huawei out over fears the company would hand over data to Beijing for spying. Huawei denies it spies for China.
“If the choking of Huawei continues there will be reverberations across the semiconductor complex,” said Neil Campling, head of TMT research at Mirabaud Securities. “And the retaliation from China remains unknown and a significant risk.”
The tech giant’s business has suffered since America first blacklisted it a year ago.
If Huawei cannot source chipsets as a result of the expanded curbs, its “handset business will likely disappear,” Jefferies said in a note.
Other brokerages, including JP Morgan, echoed that view, adding this would give players such as Xiaomi and Apple an opportunity to increase their market share.
Huawei did not respond to requests for a comment.
Earlier this month, Huawei flagged it would stop making its flagship Kirin chipsets from September because U.S. pressure on its suppliers had made it impossible for its HiSilicon division to keep making the chipsets that are key components in mobile phones.
Huawei’s HiSilicon division has relied on software from U.S. companies such as Synopsys to design its chips. It outsourced the production to Taiwanese contract chipmaker TSMC, which uses equipment from U.S. companies.
Impact on Chip Suppliers
The U.S. ban represents a setback for chip suppliers too, at least in the near term, as they have to apply for licences that comply with the new rules, experts said.
It is yet unclear how many suppliers require these licences and whether they will get them.
In Asia, memory chipmakers including South Korea’s Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, Japanese image sensor maker Sony, and Taiwanese chipset maker MediaTek may be affected, a chip industry source said.
Shares in MediaTek, which counts Huawei as a major customer, slumped 10 percent on Tuesday.
MediaTek said it was monitoring new developments of rules to remain in compliance, but that it did not expect a material impact to near-term operations, based on available information.
In Europe, German chipmaker Infineon, which counts Huawei as a key customer for its power management products, and Austrian sensor specialist ams said they were reviewing the impact of the latest U.S. restrictions.
European tech stocks were firmer, however, reflecting their relatively low exposure to Huawei, which accounts for 7 percent of sales at ams, 3 percent at Infineon and 4 percent at STMicroelectronics, according to figures cited by Mirabaud’s Campling.

Who Will Be the Winners?
Several questions remain about the how the new curbs will be implemented, and how hawkish a stance Washington plans to take.
For example, a semiconductor vendor would “potentially be required to know where all its products end up so they do not engage in any transaction where a Huawei affiliate might be a purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee or end-user,” political risk consultant Eurasia Group said in a note.
But there are likely to be some winners in the longer term if Huawei is forced to relinquish its spot as the world’s largest smartphone maker.
“Huawei currently has 45-50 percent market share in China and, if this becomes vulnerable, Xiaomi, along with Oppo and Vivo, are likely to be the biggest beneficiaries,” JP Morgan analyst Gokul Hariharan said, referring to Chinese smartphone makers.
“Huawei would also be likely to lose further ground in the international smartphone space and 5G base stations, both of which could benefit Samsung. The Apple food chain could also benefit from potential iPhone share gains.”
TSMC, which has said it would not ship wafers to Huawei after Sept. 15, will be slightly hurt in the long run, Bernstein said in a note. “TSMC is ‘everybody’s foundry’ eventually.”
The ban is also likely to affect U.S. chipmakers such as Qualcomm, but those losses are likely to be offset in the longer term as Huawei’s rivals gain ground, analysts said.

Not sure why some are confused what Trunp's second term agenda will be. It's quite clear it will be just more golfing, tweeting and watching TV. Actually win or lose, it will be just those 3 things.
We thank you for your insightful, well thought out vision, taking time out from your Pulitzer efforts to inform the masses.
Well done!
Serious question here. Did you have a problem with this when Obama did it? Asking for a friend.

So Tibs, what do you suppose we will learn from his tax returns. I mean, I can probably guess what you are hoping for, but honestly, what do you think the tax returns will tell us?

I presume we'll find out why Trump has gone to extraordinary measures - literally gone to hell and back, for years on end - to desperately keep them sealed from prosecutors and avoid public scrutiny. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to hide..... Why not release your returns like every damn presidenital candidate has for decades? Something doesn't add up, but it never does, with Trump. That dude has more skeletons in the closet than possibly any other living human being on the planet, besides maybe Vladimir Putin.
