I can go through the unfavorables of Hillary being close to that of Trumps, the fact that he won by just the right amount of votes in just the right states and in general how shitty a campaign she ran. Biden is no powerhouse but his favorables are to the moon when you compare him with Trump. With a near double digit lead, even if we want to give Trump 2% or 3% above the polling rather than the 1.1% from 2016, he can’t win the electoral college with a 5% or so deficit in popular vote.
Things can change but have not for some time. This is just math. Refute it all you want but it looks like Trump’s Toast.
The VP pick scares me far more than any debates. Trump already sounds like a retard to anyone who isn’t a Trump fan. Joe can have five senior moments, won’t natter. His lead is seniors who aren’t bothered by senior moments.
He is riding a 25% flip of the most reliable voters alive, but many of whom did vote Trump last time.
Middle aged people are relatively stable with last election.
But he also needs black voters to show. I see no VP bump. I don’t see anyone who black voters love and that make old white seniors who have flipped thrilled. The best is palatable to both groups. That’s my only concern, particularly given his age.
