It seems like these few values are only important to the self-proclaimed values party when it involves Democrats who are guilty of immoral behavior. But if it's Donald Trump, for instance, then it's "No one is sinless and perfect!" and "Who among us is without sin?" and "I voted for a President, not a Pastor!"

Speaking of the Religious Right, here's a good article about it: The Real Origins of the Religious Right.

When the editor of the largest evangelical publication openly breaks with the extreme right, that's a sign of weakness for the religious right.
It's not just the failure of their ideology to attract people under 60; it's a sign that many in the movement think it's lost its way.

Not if you look at Trump's continuing fall in the swing states. Now every major democrat but one is leading him there. Used to be just Biden (who admittedly has increased his lead in that time).
RealClearPolitics - Election 2020 - Florida: Trump vs. Biden
RealClearPolitics - Election 2020 - Ohio: Trump vs. Biden
RealClearPolitics - Election 2020 - North Carolina: Trump vs. Biden
RealClearPolitics - Election 2020 - Pennsylvania: Trump vs. Biden
RealClearPolitics - Election 2020 - Michigan: Trump vs. Biden
RealClearPolitics - Election 2020 - Pennsylvania: Trump vs. Biden
To make up for his weakness in larger states, Trump has to pretty much run the table on the swing states. And he's running out of time to turn things around.

You really got fooled there. Real Clear Politics average of polls had her up in the popular vote by about 3%; she ended up by about 2%.
RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - General Election: Trump vs. Clinton
But what counts is electoral votes. Notice that Biden beats Trump in every swing state. These are the states he has to win to hold onto the WH.

That's what's killing him.
You're easy, only as long as you don't think for yourself.

You seem to have been convinced
As you learned, the polls predicted Clinton would get about 3% more votes than Trump. She ended up getting 2% more. You think that's a landslide?
As I said, you're easy only as long as you don't think for yourself. The data wasn't hard to find. You could have done it.

I certainly hope not.
But it's a good sign that younger people are showing more sense.
