If I'm Bernie's advisor i'd tell him to stay in the race and hope Biden shows his decaying mental faculties in the debate
I’m actually more confident that Biden can beat Trump in the general election given his declining mental capacity for the following reason: His condition has made him more feisty and combative when dealing with people who challenge him, which will help him to mirror Trump’s verbal combativeness in debates and speeches even if he ends up saying mistaken things. And that would likely be more energizing for voters who are sick of Trump regardless of the specifics of the political leanings.
In short, it would be kind of like WWE with two old sundowning angry white guys going at it to crowned king of the ring, one who is “Good but gaffe-prone” versus one is “Bad and narcissistic”.
we need to hope that trump knew what he was doing when he was willing to get himself impeached over stopping biden.
i think we'll see if bernie actually cares about a democrat winning or if he only cares about himself, cause biden could have a stroke on the debate stage and there would still be no mathematical chance bernie would win.
bernie's best states are behind him. the next few states (which are huge) will be biden landslides -- florida, illinois, ohio
Money coming in hard on Biden to beat Trump on PredictIt. Am I seeing something different? He cant even remember what day it is.

i have a bad feeling i am going to lose a whole lot of money to pfa'ers on this election, cause i'm starting to get really confident thinking about biden.
i'll raise two points to support this.
first, there has never been a more poorly situated president to point out biden's terrible mental acuity than trump.
even his diehard supporters would concede he has some form of mental illness -- narcissistic personality disorder if nothing else. plus the clips of trump stroking out and slurring his words take up hours of video and are starting to get circulated in the msm. trevor noah did a thing on it yesterday. morning joe today.
remember when george washington took over airports during the revolutionary war? me neither, but trump does.
next, as i pointed out yesterday, this is probably a battle for one state -- wisconsin.
pennsylvania is lost to trump. michigan almost certainly is too. they went hard blue in 2018, have always been a democratic state, and biden has shown he is very strong with the white working class voter trump appeals too. (i think this factor alone is why bettors are going hard on biden atm.) the auto bailout saved the state and biden happened to be VP when that happened.
can biden win wisconsin? not sure, but this is the whole race.
obv if biden took an ohio, north carolina or florida, it would also be over but i think that's unlikely. not anywhere near impossible though
oh and did i mention trump's weird wandering? morning joe did a 5-minute montage of it but i didn't see it uploaded yet. this one's a classic.
i mentioned this in another thread but i want to get this off my chest again here.
bernie announced a big campaign decision at 1pm. minutes later, WHO declares a pandemic.
scenario 1) bernie, recognizing he literally has no path forward, suspends his campaign and throws his support behind biden, allowing the markets to gain a little stability and for the public to finally, FINALLY be able to coalesce support behind one candidate.
scenario 2) bernie, because he wants to remain in the fucking spotlight and loves the adoration he gets from his extremist trash cultist core who are never going to vote for anyone but him in regardless of who the candidate is, decides he wants to 'debate' joe again on sunday when literally the only fucking thing left for him to do is embarrass joe over his stutter and further cast him as an unelectable centerist pariah to his incredibly vociferous followers.
naturally bernie slam dunks #2.
this is why people cant fucking stand bernie sanders. hillary wasnt talking shit, it was the truth. the guys a fucking crank and he cant be trusted.

Bernie Sanders vows to stay in 2020 race and says he is looking forward to debate with Joe Biden
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/11/polit...ign/index.html
You people are smoking crack if you think that Bernie Sanders is going to end his campaign for President.
It is Joe Biden who needs to end his campaign for President before it's too late.
Biden is a senile, delusional with dementia old fucker who's ready to be put in senior care facility.
I feel bad for the dems actually. DTS is a bitch! They are going to stay miserable for the next 5 yrs. I on the other hand will be happy and relaxed as can be.
you know, one state we forgot about (or at least i did) was north carolina
if biden carried pa and michigan, which i think is more likely than not, he could lose wisconsin and still win by taking north carolina.
NC voted for obama, then romney and then trump, but it's always been really close
turnout was slightly up this year in the democratic primary compared to 2016, which is at least a little encouraging for dems.
biden is up on trump in polls there fwiw
Yes, NC is a 4th option, but I just don't see it happening unless he already wins the other three (MI, WI, PA) anyway.
Early polling is meaningless until the general election race really starts.
I think Biden will underperform in all of the Romney-red states. We heard the same nonsense about Hillary carrying Georgia, Texas, and Arizona, and she stupidly wasted resources trying to vainly carry those states, while ignoring WI/MI/MN (assuming she had them won), and losing two of those three.
Barring some big backlash against Trump because of coronavirus or its after-effects, everything red on the above map is likely staying red in 2020.
Trump's problem is he has to keep at least one of the new-red states of MI/WI/PA in 2020, which is going to be tough, since Biden is more popular in all of these states than Hillary was, and his margin of victory was small.
He also isn't likely to turn any 2016 blue state red, except perhaps NH, which won't be enough. I guess he has an outside shot at flipping MN.
