I can't believe that chud had the fortune of appointing 3 Justices in fewer than 4 years. I don't think that's ever happened.

I can't read that, but obviously George Washington doesn't count.

Yeah I can't either now, must be a cookies thing...

Anyway, here is a different list (note, I do recall the Statista list showed FDR with 9 nominations, maybe one wasn't confirmed?):


Franklin Roosevelt: 8
Dwight Eisenhower: 5
William Taft: 5
Ulysses Grant: 5
Richard Nixon: 4
Harry Truman: 4
Warren Harding: 4
Benjamin Harrison: 4
Grover Cleveland: 4
Ronald Reagan: 3
Herbert Hoover: 3
Woodrow Wilson: 3
Theodore Roosevelt: 3
Donald Trump: 3

Can we filter that for a single term?

Yeah I saw you snuck that 4 year qualifier in there but there are still a few.

Taft
Harding (2 years)
Harrison
Cleveland

and of course Nixon, while technically a two-termer, only served 5 years so maybe he counts?

Does no one in this thread realize that Trump got more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016? 63,000,000 turned into 74,000,000+. And while some of those people have died off, a lot more people are going to turn out as an anti-Biden vote. The reason he won in 2016 is because no one was excited to turn out to vote for Hilary, and this year will have the same issue. Not to mention that many of the people that came out in 2020 to vote anti-Trump will be less motivated to turn out this year.

Don't you know that Hilary won the popular vote; Trump won the electoral vote.

Independent and Dem voters didn't have to turn out to vote for Hilary because they all thought she had it in the bag.  She still had over 3m more popular votes than he did.  I think that was a lesson Dems learned and never want to happen again.  You saw that in 2020.  Trump had a huge turnout, and he still got smoked by Biden. 

Trump could still have a great turnout and get smoked, even if people are unhappy with Biden.  Dems and anti-Trumpers outnumber Pubs.  Dems will vote to prevent 2016 whether they like Biden or not.  They will vote to protect abortion rights and potential for Supreme Court nominations.  Dems' laziness in 2016 lost them multiple seats on the Supreme Court that they still have to deal with 8 years later and what will be longer.

We have 5 months before election and the Trump boat and golf cart parades are few and far between compared to 4 years ago.  He is a convicted felon, he flamed J6, and he has many other legal issues ahead.  He lost his mojo.  His fans don't show up to his speaking events.  His Maga counterparts in the House and Senate are exhausting, even for moderate Pubs. 

You all want to call out the possible low turnout for Biden, but I'd actually expect a low turnout for Trump on November 5th.  He lost his spark.

Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away from voting this November 5th (not that it will matter for President in Texas). I can't believe that chud had the fortune of appointing 3 Justices in fewer than 4 years. I don't think that's ever happened.

I would hope the fact that all 435 House seats as well as 33 Senate seats being on the ballot would motivate the good citizens of America to get out and vote. It would start me up

The Republican party is absolutely hell bent on reelecting Biden and giving him the house and Senate. I'll give them credit for one thing, they don't seem interested in doing whatever will snatch them the most power, literally the opposite of the dems who would do anything for any single vote.

what on earth. Let's sky rocket STDs and totally preventable pregnancies with whatever crazy crap this is.

Pubs live in a an utter fantasy world where all their rhetoric doesn't matter. Dems are just mostly cowards unable to follow through on most things

What everyone already knew . . .  also during those visits Smith illegally appointed special counsel and one of the top guys leaves justice for the NY AG's office (the same AG who was absolutely embarrassed by the NY Appellate court justices)
