Interesting info on how big a scum Biden is, and why maybe Trump may win again.
If they don't dump Biden, Trump will ROAST HIS ASS and win. Again.

Are they THAT STUPID to push him forward?

    Faux News? Goork is a Canazi! Wwwhehehehheeheeeeeh 🇨🇦卐🍁

    Nah, it's too soon to predict winners, and you can always have an October surprise. Biden being picked as the nominee and losing due to sexual harassment stuff would be funny though. His baggage is just obvious:

    Lucy Flores isn’t alone. Joe Biden has a long history of touching women inappropriately. The media gave Biden a pass for years. It won’t in 2020. [vox.com]

    Reckoning with the Joe Bidens of the #MeToo Movement [vice.com]
    Joe Biden's #MeToo Adventure Continues [soylentnews.org]

    Trump has baggage, but:

    1. Most of Trump's baggage has been aired. Or should have been by now. There was that Epstein tape, but it was a n0thingburg3r. Only a stream of pee can break down the teflon at this point.
    2. Biden hasn't been scrutinized as closely. The creepy touching was an open joke for years but wasn't touched by mainstream media until recently.
    3. Most of the #MeToo support is on the left, so Biden's creepiness will hurt him with his pool of voters more than Trump with his.

    Another line of thought is that literally any Democratic candidate has a good chance of winning in 2020, even more left-leaning ones. This could be undermined if the economy remains "strong". But the polls support it for now:

    Biden, Sanders and Warren lead Trump in 2020 election matchup: NBC/Wall Street Journal poll [cnbc.com]

    Oh but 2016 killed the poll! Polls are meaningless! (Just correct it by 5-10 points and move on.)

    A counterpoint to #1: a lot of people were caught off guard by Trump's win, and want him gone. There's little chance of him being removed from office or resigning. Maybe the archives are being scoured for embarrassing Trump material that will only be released later in 2020, when it can do the most damage.

    Also, I see that the Fox News link is a Bezos Post paywall buster. But there are other reprints [inquirer.com] so you are still pure evil.

      Judopoint to your counterpoint: None of the people who voted for him are going to dislike what he's done more than they dislike what the Democrats will do if they get yet another tedious establishment candidate elected. Everyone who thought being a garden variety asshole was worse than being a career politician voted D last time and it wasn't enough.

        There's got to be something he could be caught saying or doing that would turn his supporters off of him.

          In ancient history? Not likely. It would need to be exciting and new and fall outside the bounds of just being an asshole or it would be dog bites man instead of the other way around.

          I suppose he could start exporting jobs to some country where starving people will work 16 hours a day for food? That was a popular tactic in US politics for awhile.

          Sure, but you have to understand that his 'supporters' are individuals, you don't peel them all off with one thing. In fact things that peel off one group will cement another.

          They can peel me off with one simple act; e.g. nominate Tulsi Gabbard.

          Shut her out, like Dr. Paul in 2012, like Bernie Sanders in 2016, and yeah, I'll hold my nose and vote for Trump; if I show up at all.

      There's little chance of him being removed from office or resigning.

      The single most likely reason for Trump's removal from office, is age or health. And, I think I would be physically ill if I had to watch Trump's funeral. Imagine Pelosi delivering a eulogy, while wearing the look of the cat who ate the canary. Or, O'Crazio Cortez trying to say something not-unkind about Trump. Ugh! We thought McCain's funeral was a circus? Phhht. For that reason alone, I hope Trump outlives all the old crones on the D side of the aisle.

        I thought you didn't like the guy. Guess we're past that little bit of fiction.

        Funny how you spew hate while trying to play the victim. Oh wait, tragic and sad isn't funny.

          Dafuq? I don't like Trump? I don't like Biden? Well . . . correct on both. WTF is your point here? I made an observation. Trump isn't leaving office until one of the following conditions are met:
          1. he is voted out
          2. he is incapacitated
          3. he dies
          4. his second term expires

          And, no matter how arrogant a shit Trump might be, many of his detractors are even lesser beings. Rabid left is rabid left, which is just as bad as the rabid right.

              Which is worse? Being murdered, or being put in chains? But, you don't even have to really choose between the two. The left's Redneck Revolt is gearing up to do the murders too. https://www.redneckrevolt.org/ [redneckrevolt.org] As a generality, the left likes to take over a country before the murders start, but when they get rolling, they kill a lot. National socialists in Germany, Soviets in Russia, Communists in China, and the list goes on.

                  I know what words mean, child. Pretty much the same things they meant 100 years ago, 200 years ago, and 500 years ago. It's you kids who don't understand the words you use. "Literally Hitler"? FFS, you're going to point out the mote in my eye, when you can't see past the beam in your own eye?
