Re: U.S Election 2020
If the result is decisive there isn't much he can do. I don't see the Republicans contesting it if it's clear and so Trump will be on his own. He could complain but he can't stop the process.
The worry is a close election like last time is likely to be contested irrespective of who wins.

Ooops he did it again
Mr Biden stated that he got to the Senate "180 years ago" and seemed unaware that he had made the mistake.
Looking at him he could be right.

Peace deal with Saudi Arabia, etc?
I put my question because Jewish people in the USA, according to my perception, are likely to be Democrats. Yet the current Administration's achievements in regard to the recent peace deals with Israel would seem to be praiseworthy.
As in Jewish votes matter.

I think it's a bit simplistic to conflate Jewish US citizens with the country of Israel.
And I don't think many countries would openly advocate for one party or other in the US election as the US is such a powerful country and you don't want to get on the wrong side of them as China has found to its cost.

Re: U.S Election 2020
Thing is most religions have a strong moral code, be it Jewish, Catholic, Muslim. Donald doesn't fit it with any of them. Even some of the evangelical base are seeing him for what he is - a very immoral man.

Re: U.S Election 2020
The problem they face is they are presented with the choice of a immoral man who at least claims will do what they want and a moral man who claims to do the opposite of what they want.
What would you choose?

Quote:
Russia's latest efforts are "consistent with Moscow's public criticism of [Biden] when he was Vice President for his role in the Obama Administration's policies on Ukraine and its support for the anti-Putin opposition inside Russia," said Friday's statement, which was issued by Trump appointee William Evanina, director of the United States National Counterintelligence and Security Center.

The countries said to be against Trump are China and Iran.
Quote:
"We assess that China prefers that President Trump -- whom Beijing sees as unpredictable -- does not win reelection," the statement said. "China has been expanding its influence efforts ahead of November 2020 to shape the policy environment in the United States, pressure political figures it views as opposed to China's interests, and deflect and counter criticism of China."
On Iran, Evanina's statement said the regime there is working against "democratic institutions" in general, but also looking to "undermine" Trump and "to divide the country in advance of the 2020 elections."

It's par for the course, Reagan wasn't exactly compos mentus and Trump declines by the day if that's possible.
They really need to put an age limit on US Presidents.

I agree but not just presidents the whole political system is run by coffin dodgers.

Only a sub-set of people in those faiths cited hold such strong views on abortion, etc.

I'm influenced by this article.
https://news.gallup.com/opinion/poll...cs-israel.aspx which includes this:
Quote:
... The data show that despite Trump's commentary, Jews in the U.S. are both highly likely to identify as Democrats and vote for Democratic candidates and to express views that are highly loyal to Israel. .....
