Of course he can win, especially a general election. 

I am sorry mate, but he can't.

It’s about mobilisation, and mobilising traditional non voters is especially important. 

It does not have too much to do with this tbh -- the last three Republican presidents have actually lost in the overall vote.

 

It has to do with three or four key states and the efforts there.

How do you suppose you’re going to win key states without mobilising voters?

He has been slipping in polling for months and now trails Biden AND Warren by more than 10 points

 

Yes -- if the focus is on mobilising voters in specific parts of those key states then that will help -- pretty sure they do that. Adding a bunch of folks in California for instance - would not do a thing.

The İstanbul 14th High Criminal Court on Monday handed down life sentences to 15 defendants for attempting to overthrow the Turkish government with a 2013 police investigation that reached to then-ministers, Turkish media reported.

Former police chiefs Yakub Saygılı, Kazım Aksoy, Yasin Topçu and Nazmi Ardıç were among the convicted defendants as well as US-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gülen, a foe of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

In December 2013 Turkey was shaken by the revelation of two corruption investigations, on Dec. 17 and 25, in which the inner circle of then-Prime Minister and current President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan were implicated.

After Erdoğan cast the investigations as a coup attempt to overthrow his government orchestrated by his political enemies, the prosecutors and judges were removed from the case, police were reassigned and the corruption investigations were dropped. Later, the police officers, judges and prosecutors who took part in the investigations were all jailed.

 

 

 

Huh -- that is a strange coincidence.

How did he totally destroy and obliterate the economy of turkey before?

He masterminded the Ottamans take over of Constantinople when the Byzantine Emperor had defied his wishes to build a new Trump Plaza on the banks of the Bosphorus

Taken from the BBC.

 

A woman at the centre of a row over diplomatic immunity will not return to the UK, according to briefing notes held by US President Donald Trump.

Anne Sacoolas is suspected of being involved in a car crash that killed British motorcyclist Harry Dunn, who died in Northamptonshire on 27 August.

Mrs Sacoolas later left the UK to return home to the US, after telling local police she had no such plans.

The note was photographed as Mr Trump addressed reporters at the White House.

It reads: "(If raised) Note, as Secretary Pompeo told Foreign Secretary Raab, that the spouse of the US government employee will not return to the United Kingdom."

Mr Dunn's mother Charlotte Charles said the US's apparent approach was "beyond any realm of human thinking".
