The whole election rides on white suburban women in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

If Biden captures them by the types of margins shown in today's polls, he wins. If not, he loses.

Thank god we have the electoral college. Otherwise, only a few states would decide the country’s president...

And all Democrats need to do is ask people to look at the tags on Trump ties and red hats to see who’s actually in bed with China. All Democrats need to do is remind voters of Trump’s twitter in January and February when he was praising them for their handling of Covid.

Sure, but my point is that this strategy isn't necessarily meant to convince voters in the middle to vote for Trump, but to muddy the waters enough to get many of them to stay home. Pointing out that actually Trump is more beholden to China than Biden is, isn't going to help that much.
 
Hey trumpian’s: Is covid19 a hoax or it the plague that only Donnie can save us from?

I’m having trouble filling the lies.
 
I find it generally hard to believe that the election is only 5.5 months away. The last two months have been a weird blur where every day simply falls into the next.

I think that’s a failed strategy. Voter enthusiasm is going to be sky high no matter what.

As a Democrat, what i see would be most threatening to us politically, would be for trump to:
  • Put down the ****ing phone.
  • Ramp up testing.
  • Pass a massive stimulus package and expand health care and relief. People that Biden is going to pick off by promising economic relief and health care for. True, he’s not Sanders. But Biden is campaigning well to the left of Obama.
  • Lead us through the pandemic.
If he showed any ability to lead us, I think he’d deliver Democrats a monster blow to the head. But he won’t. He won’t pass **** for people. He campaigns as a populist and governs as a kleptocrat. And he’ll get distracted by anything. Hell, Look at his most recent pinned tweet.


Sadly, his inability to lead us will lead to more death and destruction. We will just grin and bear it until we have new leadership. But if there’s a positive to this pandemic at least it will lead to a change in leadership both for the White House and senate. Hopefully we can get back on track after this election. We really need to shore up our social safety net and work to mend the fissures that have been neglected For years and exacerbated by this administration.

Biden has had a consistent 6 point lead over Trump for over one year. Biden doesn’t really seem to lose popularity with people. And I actually like what his camp is doing right now. He doesn’t need to campaign or criticize. If he did, it would open him up to criticism because it could be spun as being unpatriotic as our nation goes through a pandemic.

So I like the hands off approach. Just let team trump sink their own ship with incessant tweeting and ridiculous press conferences. No need to get into an ideological battle right now which the GOP would be able to spin as "socialism." Just let them continue to circle rudderless in this pandemic sludge.

Then let The Never Trumpers from the Lincoln Project attack him from the side. They aren’t associated with the Biden campaign so they can run the nasty attack ads that we cannot.

It’s trump who needs to campaign and win lost voters. It’s he who got his *** kicked in 2018. He’s the one that needs to restore faith in his “MAGA.”

Obama's presidency was far from perfect, but if nothing else I miss his rhetoric.

I liked his good sense of humor and his message to the kids. What he said was absolutely true.

It's just weird to see a president speak in complete sentences, without insulting reporters, or bragging about how many women he's banged. Remember his pandemic "models" comment?


Speaking of bad commencements, have you seen Ben Sasse's? It was trending on twitter yesterday.

I saw the first part, and uh, man he whiffed hard.

I'm skeptical of this, but that could be because I spend a lot of time in more Biden critical leftist circles.

Maybe.

But I believe for the most part voter enthusiasm is going to be sky high.

Democrats will be eager to vote for Biden.
Trumpers will be eager to vote for Trump
Never Trumpers will mostly be eager to vote against Trump (hopefully for Biden)
African Americans will be back up to 2008 and 2012 levels.
It'll be interesting what happens to the Hispanic vote. I suspect it's going to be sky high as I can't imagine kids in cages is popular.
I hope that leftists understand that having a seat at the table is better than being excluded completely from the room. You'll get a lot more done with Biden than you ever will with Trump. Another 4 years of Trump could mean the end of your chance to ever get anything done. I don't think it's a stretch to consider Trump an existential threat to our democracy. I wouldn't be surprised if he were to be re-elected to see political opponents outlawed or jailed. Look at what he's doing already to officers Vindman and to the IGs. If he wins in 2024, will he outlaw the NY Times? Will he ask his cult to "liberate" Vermont of Bernie Sanders? Or lock up the leftists?
"It Can Happen Here." There might not be any leftists left to campaign in 2024 if Trump gets re-elected.

Just look at all the **** he has pulled in just the past 6 months.

It was like a wannabe comedy act, like he thought he was part of a roast. I'm sure most of the stuff he said went over the heads of the high school grads. It was bad. Realllll bad.
