Had a look into the pollsters and they are owned by the same guy who founded Daily Kos. Doesn't mean they're unreliable but might skew the questions. And it's internet polling only, which could raise the percentage of fruitloops by a statistically significant margin.

This is fair.  I stand by my point though, the flaws are in the system, not in the commissioner.

Trump said on television that he was so upset about not being able to visit the Aisne-Marne cemetery and memorial outside of Paris, that he phoned Melania back in New York to tell her how upset he was.
She was with him in Paris.

Those helicopters are also all weather vehicles.  And he could have driven.  He was just too scared to go.  Not enough of this was made at the time.

Agree to disagree.  The far left and far right get people all riled up that the other is going completely insane over tinpot issues, but as Bush 41 stated, (paraphrasing), "Forty percent of the country is going to vote Democrat, 40 is going to vote Republican, it's the middle 20 that decide an election."  That's still true today. And you're right in the sense that 4 states (Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan) will decide the election, but it won't be because of anything Qanon or the tinpots on the left or right say, it'll be because people still mainly vote with their wallet.

That is 100% correct and what a lot of people over here will never grasp as they tend to compare US electorate with how the UK electorate respond and vote, you have to have worked with the average American and lived in the USA to get to know a little of their political nous.

A clear example of this is how they voted for Trump as President knowing full well he had no political background, was a showman, a virtual fraud and yet because he displayed the air of a billionaire and flew to his rallies in his own plane he ended up President, and you know what there is a possibility that even with all the shite he has thrown around they could re-elect him.

If you look back at previous Presidents they have voted  in, crooks, B movie failed actors etc etc, you get the picture.

And Biden for fucksake, unfuckinbelievable, the man is senile and he's running against a senile psychopath.

American politics???????????????????????

Howard Dean's brother was a backpacker.

He was CIA they just couldn't admit it! Even Dean's parents acknowledge that. How could you back pack into Laos in 1974? Why would you want to. He was officially listed as a POW as well which gives the game away a bit.

Bear in mind that the '80s "Satanic Panic" fiction that spread over here originated in the US, was widely believed, and ruined countless lives.

A substantial number of Americans want to believe that they're at war with the actual Biblical Forces of Darkness. It's a powerful group of delusional nuts to tap in to.

I'd say this is accurate, and I'd say it also applies to every country.
