What drives crazy RW athletes like Ditka, Schilling, Smoltz, Aubrey Huff, John Tortorella?

What drives nutcases like them to go off and rant and rave on social media, etc?

What's their goal?

What do you think of Kerry-McCain voters?

Voters who voted Democratic through John Kerry in 2004, then switched to John McCain in 2008....they were sizeable, but not enough for McCain to win anyway.

Who are they today?

Why is hockey the most hostile to social activism/BLM?

Even MLB does acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement.

But hockey has been the most hostile, despite hiring Black executives.

Is it the coaches/GMS, players, or the culture?

WFAN

Regardless of their rightwing politics, did you ever like their brand of sports radio?

I used to think that sports radio would be apolitical or neutral, but it seems like sports radio is right wing just like talk radio....

Biden has to denounce the LA police ambush

The NJ GOP are running ads in my area blaming Biden and tying him to Black Lives Matter and LeBron James, etc.

Did Biden say anything about the police ambush?

Why is Tennessee so Republican?

It wasn't always so....

In the 1990s, Tennessee was a Southern battleground state, moderate Democrats like Al Gore and Phil Bredesen and Harold Ford, Jr. would rule the roost and moderate Republicans like Lamar Alexander would rule as well.

I know Gore lost Tennessee in 2000 20 years ago, but what happened?

Why are the Nashville suburbs so conservative compared to the Dallas suburbs or even the Phoenix suburbs?

America withdraw from the United Nations? What do you think of some who feel so?

Some Americans say that the United States should withdraw from the United Nations, that the city of New York and the UN should negotiate over an agreement to sell the UN headquarters building and let the UN go somewhere else?

My next door neighbor has been saying for years to me, "America doesn't need to be in the UN".

What do you think?

What do you think of people who won't watch sports anymore because of kneeling?

They say the ratings for the NBA/NFL, etc are down because of "political activism", etc.

What do you think?

What do you think of undecided swing voters?

I know two of them

Both men.

Both of them voted for Gary Johnson in 2016, but don't like Biden or Trump.

They hate Trump's voice and style but say that the Black Lives Matter activism makes them despise Biden.

They say they may stay home or write in someone like Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker.

What do you think of them?

If Biden wins, should he Tweet in the Mornings Like Trump to Get His Message Across?

I think that Biden will have to go crazy on McConnell, McCarthy, Scalise and the post-Trump GOP.

Every morning, Trump rails against Pelosi, Schumer, Reid, Andrew Cuomo, Phil Murphy, athletes, NBA, baseball, etc.

Like it or not, Trump gets his message across.

Twitter is a 21st century communication tool.
