Are the NY Trial proceedings changing any minds about this election? What is the likelihood of a hung jury? How much of a game changer would an acquittal or guilty verdict be? How much might it affect the outcome if there are no additional Trials prior to the election?
Debate set for June 27. Does it favor either candidate? Just two candidates in a studio with CNN co-moderators Tapper & Bash, and no audience. Very much like the first Nixon-Kennedy debates.
How much of this election is now being decided on perceived character and cognitive abilities of each man than on any discussion of important policy differences between both Parties?
Biden won’t send bombs and artillery shells (already approved by Congress) to Israel. How much of this action is in the interests of our security vs. a political calculation?
Is Hamas still a significant military threat to Israel? Would the war end more quickly if Israel defeats Hamas militarily in Rafah, or if both sides agree to an extended cease fire?
Is normalization between Israel and Arab states still on any kind of positive trajectory as it was before October 7? Can there be lasting peace without some kind of coalition that starts with recognizing Israel’s right to exist, and moving toward some kind of demilitarized “two-state solution”? Might new Israeli leadership explore different approaches that could explore a more lasting peace?
Is Biden focusing his appeal more to Progressives than to Moderates? Is that politically smart? Are most voters more pro-Israel than Pro-Palestinian…and more Moderate on issues of Gender and Equality? Biden won as a Moderate in 2020, not as a Progressive. Does he risk losing the broad “Mainstream Middle” by appealing more to the Democrat Progressive Left?
Are College protests being driven by outside interests? How serious is this problem? Only 8% of college students have participated in protests. Most of those arrested on campuses are not students. Should colleges arrest law-breakers and expel students who choose not to follow policies?
“Boy Scouts of America” is now “Scouting America”. Membership dropped from 5M down to 1M. Now they want to be seen as more inclusive. Did we need different spaces for Boys and Girls?
Sen. Menendez is on trial for bribery. Is this being handled fairly by Senate Democrats?
How big a role does bias internet sources and social media play in hindering Compromise?
Does RFK jr. take more votes away from Biden or more from Trump? Haley won 22% of Republican Primary votes in Indiana. If either guy were to drop out, would any NEW Nominee have an advantage over either Joe or Donald? Any chance RFK jr. could catch fire?
Who leads on Trump’s short list of VP Candidates? Current favorites: Tim Scott, Elise Stefanik, Doug Burgum, JD Vance, Marco Rubio. What about DeSantis? Pompeo? Youngkin? (Probably not Noam.) Win or lose, Trump’s VP would likely be the favorite to be the 2028 Republican Nominee.
Is the flood of migrants the main reason we have increased homeless in Chicagoland? Will this action reduce homeless in tents? Chicago City Council approved $70M for migrant care despite voter backlash. Is there any better alternative than Congressional action out of Washington?
Majority Leader Schumer may resubmit the bipartisan Immigration bill Trump blocked. Could it fare better than it did in February? If not, will Biden need to consider taking more dramatic direct action via Executive Orders, even if he revisits some of Trump’s Immigration policies?
What are the ramifications? Biden says he would let the Trump tax cuts expire for wealthier taxpayers but would not let Americans making less than $400,000 see any tax increase.
Should President Biden directly recognize how Inflation is being felt, instead of trying to push “an improving economy”? Biden gets high marks for “empathy”. On paper, America is doing better than other countries. But Inflation is being felt directly by anyone who shops.
Good move? Biden plans to ease marijuana restrictions.
Is it fair to say that Republican Isolationism would shock President Reagan? Is a move toward less foreign engagement and more Isolationism right for the United States?
Who may have the more appealing Tax message? Biden: “No billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than a teacher.” Trump: “We need to cut taxes and regulations.”
