I still think that Trump is at a low point right now, and that Biden will stumble between now and November.

Like I keep saying: team Trump needs to make voters scared of the agenda and policies a Biden presidency would enable. Once Biden has picked a VP, it will be obvious to voters that this person has a high likelihood of becoming president, and that, win or lose, this person is the favorite to become the leader of the Democratic party after Biden. For example, if he picks Kamala Harris, Trump can draw a contrast with her. Making voters reject the America that Harris would stand for will be far easier than doing the same with Biden. And no, I'm not talking about the fact that she's a woman or a person of color.

good luck, Biden is the milk toast candidate on policy who was chosen by centrists in the DNC because of how little impact his platform will have. so good fucking luck making people scared of white bread.

The interesting question is... will anyone actually turn out for sleepy Joe?

This would be difficult, but definitely possible if we were living in calm times with not much other stuff going on. He could point to the copious amounts of far-left lunacy that was proposed by the likes of AOC, Warren, Bernie, and embraced by the rank and file of the party. Run against Obama/AOC/Warren/Pelosi more than against Biden. Ignore Biden, and point out that he's just the stooge of the DNC and Obama, just the trojan horse meant to be inoffensive who will enable all the leftist wet dreams once he's in office.

But this kind of messaging has zero chance of piercing through as long as there are more important problems that people (rightfully!!!) expect Trump to solve. He keeps failing at his most important job (getting the country through the corona crisis with as little damage as possible, get the American people to feel somewhat safe and in good hands), and as long as that's the case, he is doomed.





Lots and lots of people will turn out to vote against Trump.

You don't cheer for Anthony Smith, you cheer for Jon Jones to lose.

When the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, the other team is my new favorite team every single time.

Youre going to lose either way then. Biden is going to be Carter part II.

Certainly possible. My biggest fear is that faith in the DOJ and other institutions continues to plummet. How can we restore faith in our institutions? If something was actually illegal/unethical, how can we punish people without it being considered political retribution? On the other hand, how can we effectively communicate what the norms are and point out that partisans are simply being partisan?

so be it.

There is no threat of that now in the executive branch. Trump was one of t only presidents in history to shrink the size of the government.

Its too late for that in many other places. You have cities with pink haired judges and police chiefs that cower to Democrat senators. You have schools with 90% far left wahmen teachers. Academia hollywood etc etc. All of the leadership positions in our culture have been seized and used as political assets by the left. The only way to reverse that is to put conservatives back into school media etc. in positions of power but how do you even go about doing that?

The other thing would be term limits in more government positions maybe. There are too many j edgar hoovers in the executive branch now.
