Election 2020

I’m just glad they finally stopped debating when generations are.

Joe Biden was asked a question by a 10-year-old girl at an event yesterday, and apparently in the course of answering he told her “I bet you’re as bright as you are good-looking.”

Of course this folly garners more interest than Trump saying that the former FBI leadership and his political opponents are guilty of treason and should be put to death.

He said that? Just when you thought we had reached an all time low...

Thankfully my brain can take in more than one piece of information at a time.

One down, only 325.72 million more to go.

And carrying over from the other thread:

To clarify, he said a number of his enemies were guilty of treason and when the response was “but that is punishable by death” he nodded his assent.

If it wasn't for the 22nd Amendment, we could have easily had a three term Bill Clinton presidency and a three term (and counting) Barack Obama presidency sandwiching a single John McCain term that gets the blame for the Great Recession.

Same thing

There’s a poll getting a lot of attention right now because it says Biden dominates Trump in North Carolina. It’s an Emerson poll, so take it with as massive a grain of salt as you can.

President Donald Trump is targeting a trio of states that he lost in 2016 — a move aimed at widening his path to reelection that comes as he’s struggling in the Rust Belt states that propelled him to the White House.

Trump officials are zeroing in on New Mexico, Nevada and New Hampshire, where they insist there’s an opening despite heavy losses Republicans suffered there in the midterms. They’ve deployed around a half-dozen staffers to New Hampshire and several to Nevada, an unusually early investment in places that favor Democrats. And the campaign is doing polling to tease out Trump’s level of support in New Mexico, a focal point for campaign manager Brad Parscale, and they have discussed dispatching aides to the blue state.

The maneuvering underscores how Trump is trying to capitalize on his vast financial and organizational advantage over Democrats. Yet it also illustrates how the president, whose own polling shows him falling behind in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, is seeking out additional routes to a second term.

New Hampshire would not surprise me, but Nevada leans more blue every cycle it seems and New Mexico should be out of reach...but we had to throw out the rules last time so who knows.

Texas continues to look bad for him as well, though I doubt he loses it (if nothing else, other Rs on the ballot are popular and will GOTV for him).

It’s getting harder to ignore the trends. If I were Donald, I would let Democrats spend the next ten months talking up my tariffs and policies, and then end a bunch of them (temporarily) and declare victory the way he did with North Korea....enjoy a few weeks of headlines that calm people and normalize him, even if he never acts on the declaration (tweet). But I think the people who could have talked him into that are the same people who are no longer around.

I mean, pivoting off of a conversation in another thread, I think the reality is that he could win half of these handedly and still lose in 2020. He will very likely win Florida again, he might take Ohio and Pennsylvania, but it looks like that Midwest block that carried him over Hillary has disappeared.

With all of the flooding this year and a slow market on soybeans and corn farmers are going to be pretty pissed with his economic plan.

More and more are realizing he's a piece of shit. Though if he sticks to his xenophobia angle that will maintain a decent following. I do believe the likeability of the Democratic candidate will play a large role.
