    Ha ha, don’t be scam by slow Joe man. His latest foot in mouth” 10-15 percent of people in this country are no good “. I mean, at this point it’s beyond sad for Biden. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nobody that I’d rather have to go against Trump than Biden. I just have compassion for old folks who are not well mentally, they should be at home and not being trotted out like a circus freak.

    Probably the reason why certain people are voting for Trump.

    Trump is going to get absolutely obliterated this November. You’re not a sane adult if you support him; hence why his support amongst most demographics is dropping at an alarming rate

    Absolutely lol. With all due respect, don’t include too many names because you’ll go broke if you donate for each name on your list. I’m absolutely obsessed with elections; I check political gambling odds, polls, political news outlets probably every hour of every day. If the election were tomorrow, Trump loses NC, FL, MN, PN, WI, MI..maybe even Texas/Georgia too. He has no path to victory

    I think the senate is definitely in play now. Which is pretty remarkable considering 3 years ago

    You guys are gonna lose your minds when you finally realize the left is the minority. The mouthpiece - the MSM - has lost all credibility. People are seriously pissed they were forced to stay at home and watch the economy tank, only to have the same people abandon their rhetoric and slide over to a new narrative to purposely divide America. All in the name of politics. And it’s sad, because they are doing it because they know they can’t win without flaming a crises and scaring people. We’re not scared.

    You're correct the left is the minority when Russia and China are not included.

    There’s no evidence of what you’re saying; it’s just your gut reaction so you assume others feel the same way. All polling indicates most Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of both Covid and his reaction to the protests.

    In the very close 2016 election they put him over the top. They'll be there for him again, in greater numbers and with more enthusiasm.

    In reverse order, here are my rankings for reasons Biden will still blow him out of the water.

    5. Nobody believed Trump had a chance in 2016 so lot of voters stayed home. They won't do that again.
    4. Hillary was divisive to be generous. Biden is well-liked.
    3. Well over 100K dead from a pandemic, with at least 20K that didn't have to die. (Kiss +65 voters goodbye, Trump.)
    2. We're on the verge of another Great Depression
    1. We're at the beginning of a new Civil Rights Movement

    Two weeks ago, Biden was suffering a real enthusiasm gap. He isn't anymore.

    It's crazy how far he came from behind. He was a week away from getting blown out on super Tuesday He had no cash no ground presence in pretty much every state.

    Another key point is all this has happened while Biden rested at home -- no draining campaign debates, rallies, etc. All of this is a direct result of Trump's endless **** ups -- it's all on him and the administration's poor decisions.

    So how much you want me to put you down for Biden winning? Remember, either ways, it will help out Clutch sustaining this place.

    Seriously, I've seen some of the more hardcore Bernie-busters flip on their 'Not voting for Joe...' stance.

    It wasn't the pandemic that did it for them because a lot of them (I'm talking about the bernie or bust people, not general bernie supporters) are prone to conspiracies any way so they bought into a lot of those that floated around Covid.

    But the #1 on your list?

    It's like a lot of them finally understand that their selfish (and yes, I call it selfish) voting behavior hurts the people they claim they are allies to.

    I think too, outside of the race element, this was SUCH an easy thing for Trump.

    I don't think people get how easy this would have been for Trump to knock out of the park, this is a meatball right down the middle, three times in a row...while having a 3-0 count...and Trump has managed to strikeout.

    All he had to do was condemn the police brutality (which he did) then go on about how he's going to do something about it. The House would likely pass any criminal justice reform bill he wants to pass, the senate would too, and once he gets the parties moving together and something...ANYTHING is passed he can brag until November and say

    "See, I did this. Not Obama, not any of your democrats, I did this. Meanwhile, this other guy is saying that if you vote for me you aren't black. Can you believe this guy? This Sleepy Joe? I'm the one that passed criminal justice reform, not Obama, not the Democrats. Me."

    And it doesn't even have to be comprehensive! Just...something, more than anyone else has done about it. He wouldn't flip the black vote or anything but no doubt he'd chip into it. No doubt he'd assuage a lot of fears people have about him...and this was the ONE issue he could have brought some unity into the country without losing much of his own base.

    Instead, Trump does the WORST possible thing he can do. He mocks the rioters and sends in the army and encourages more violence.

    Even if you care nothing about race. Even if you are the most racist person in the country...you have to know that giving this guy 4 more years is a huge mistake. He makes every crisis worse.

    It's way more than 10-15%, it's more like 30-35%. I've been saying that for a long time now.

    You're definitely in that 30%. Going through life ignorant with a lot to say is a bad look.
