Yes, I'm Mr. Fox News. He'll have to do better than to just say that it's wrong. Has he made any statements in support of the police who are tasked with stopping such rioting/looting?

For the broader party, the Democrat mayors of the affected cities are absolutely seen as tolerating/kowtowing to the mob.

[Muskie in dayton]

Biden has constantly said the looting and rioting are wrong. Just repeated it 35 minutes ago.

You might never know this if you only listened to Fox and the convention going on.

Do you have a source? A Google search only turned up Biden’s riot condemnation from May:

Dash, come on. Our party doesn't embrace looters, etc. That's a talking point from last night.

And you don't really believe Trump has drained any swamp, do you?

He just raised the rates on his hotel during convention week. Money in his pocket.
He tried to use his ambassador to the get the Open at his course in Scotland.

And he's drained the swamp?

Paul, if I wrote that he has DRAINED the swamp, that isn’t true. What I am stating is that he is attempting to drain it. IMHO, he’ll make progress in the next 4 years if re-elected, but I doubt it can be completely drained. I spent enough time on K Street and around its various nooks and crannies to know better.

And you really shouldn’t go down the influence road examples you provide. Certainly not with Biden’s disgusting record, and not to mention how Obama and the Clinton’s have made out.

I don't do twitter. But he posted in the last hour:

Needless violence won’t heal us. We need to end the violence — and peacefully come together to demand justice.

I did have to laugh (did you drop this one in for laughs).
You are talking about Trump who:

1 - had a lot of his (let's bring jobs to America) Trump merchandise actually made in China

2 - Whose daughter had her name brand stuff made in China, and now has 5 new patents there.

You keep bringing up truly inane points. And Biden’s behavior in this area is much worse.

Right or wrong, you are comparing people who own legitimate businesses who are looking for a competitive edge versus a politician who is using political office, peddling influence for personal family gain. Every time you cite an example of something wrong that Trump does in this area or that you believe he has done, you ignore things like the Clinton Foundation, etc. You ignore the fact that Obama is sitting on Martha’s Vineyard in a $12 million home. That is pretty good for a community organizer from Chicago.

But it’s bigger than that: you’re simply deflecting, with no ground to stand on here. It is a fact that what Trump is doing with China is being done in the best interests of the United States of America. These tit for tat’s are petty if you otherwise want to be serious about discussing policy and what Trump’s actions and results are doing for this country.

You believe he is all about lies, corruption, and shady deals. What we do know is that he has a rather extensive resume of charitable giving and that he gives 100% of his current salary away. You cite his business failures as though they should mean something. Well, they probably should mean something if he otherwise was a complete failure in business. I don’t believe anyone is in position to accuse him of being a failure in business, given his current financial standing and asset portfolio.

Though it sounds that way, I truly am not a ”Trumper”. Maybe his ego wouldn’t let him, but I truly do believe he would be more “presidential“ if the Far left, the corrupt media, and the establishment in Washington were not out to get him. You believe he went into the office to enrich him self. Sorry my friend, that is utter bullshit. He was already wealthy enough without having to go through the inane nonsense that he has to live through every day by occupying that office.

He is a non-politician, and that is a good thing. Compare that to Biden, who is nothing but an empty suit, who does embrace anyone that will vote for him, including rioters and looters, and who is an abject failure as a parent, unless you find Hunter Biden‘s life resume to be acceptable.

[paulxu]

Sorry Dash. I can find no evidence of him attempting to drain the swamp.
Quite the contrary. His time is replete with efforts to line his own pockets.

And I never hear any Republicans saying a thing.
G-7 at Doral? Really?

I suspect when his time is over, you'll see the curtain pulled back on all of his grifting, and it won't be pretty.

[GoMuskies]

The NBA is apparently going on hiatus.

[bobbiemcgee]

Hunter Biden again really? Hope Hicks got 2 million for a year and a half with Fox for doing essentially nothing and no pub is bitching about that. Don, jr. has the RNC buy up all his stupid books for a huge profit and get gigantic loans from China. Again, double standard.

[Xville]

The NBA is apparently going on hiatus.

If no one cares, did it really happen? That league is a joke anyways. I'd be perfectly fine if that league along with mlb went the way of the dinosaur.
