How weak is the 20-person Democrat field? – It’s so weak that a 76 year-old, miserable two-time loser in presidential politics who has been wrong about literally every major issue facing this nation over the last half-century is sucking all the air out of the room. That’s weak.
Three new polls released yesterday show Biden blowing away the rest of the Democrat field and getting close to eating up half the support among the Party’s mind-numbed voter base: He comes in at 44% support in the Harvard-Harris poll , 46% in the Hill-HarrisX online poll and 40% in the new poll from Morning Consult. The Commie lags far behind in 2nd place with just 14% support in both of the first two polls, and a little stronger 19% in Morning Consult. None of the 18 other candidates registers even in double digits in any of the polls.
That’s how weak the 20-person Democrat field is. Yikes.
Now, these are just three polls and as I pointed out in yesterday’s Campaign Update, Biden was always destined to have some really good polling numbers coming out of the gate in his carefully-scripted campaign launch. He is a two-term vice president, a guy who spent more than 30 years in the U.S. Senate, and the most known quantity out of all of the candidates in the field. He had lead the polls consistently before he even declared his candidacy, and that lead was inevitably going to grow once he finally jumped in. So that was all a given.
But, as unreliable as we all know that political polls are these days, there is no denying that a) three polls with fairly consistent results represents something of a trend, and b) some of the numbers posted by the other, supposedly “major” candidates in this race are stunningly weak.
The best example is the numbers put up by former darling of the fake news media, Irish Bob O’Rourke, who registers at 3, 3, and 5 in these polls, respectively, despite his very strong, if fading, fundraising numbers. It turns out that even mindless Democrat base voters want something more from a candidate – even one who just 3 months ago was touted by our fake news media as the “next Kennedy” – than jumping up on tables, waving arms and spouting meaningless platitudes. Go figure.
But what about the wymyn-folks? Well, the Party’s two most prominent wymyn, Faucahontas and Willie Brown’s Paramour, are doing better than Irish Bob, but that’s not saying much given that you can triple his numbers and still be mired in single-digits. The Fake Indian is averaging just 6.7% in these three polls, while Kamala Harris, who many “experts” were touting as the most likely Party nominee as recently as March, is doing a little better with an average of 7.3%.
But hey, at least they’re both out-pacing Irish Bob, and looky here – they’re both doing better than the fake news media’s latest Prom Date, Mayor Pete! Pete Buttigieg registers at 2, 8, and 6 in these three polls, for a not-very-impressive average of just 5.3%, despite having received hundreds of millions of dollars worth of fawning, free media coverage over the past two months.
Who else is even worth mentioning here? Well, there’s the “other” African American candidate, Cory Booker, who all the smart people in D.C. and the fake media were telling us last year might become the “next Barack Obama”, God help us. But that was all before his “I am Spartacus” moment in the Kavanaugh hearings last October. In these three polls, Sen. Spartacus comes in at 3, 3, and 3. Hey, at least he’s consistent.
Amy Klobuchar, who registers at 2, 0, and 2 is the only other candidate who even manages to come in at abover 1% support in any of these polls. Kirsten Gillibrand’s candidacy is such a joke that the folks at RealClearPolitics have stopped even listing her in their average of polls table. My goodness.
Now, some observations:
First, the field is very crowded right now and that means that support is scattered among the competing candidates. As the field narrows, voters will consolidate their support among those who remain in the race.
There is no doubt, for example, that the other Commies in the race, like Fauxcahontas and Mayor Pete, are sucking support away from the real Commie, Bernie Sanders. The problem the Commie is going to have is that Mayor Pete, as the only openly gay candidate in the race, is likely to have some real staying power in the race, since the media will be afraid to report anything negative about him.
Fauxcahontas is also likely to have some staying power, since she is the most shameless liar in this liar-filled field. We all know how mindless Democrat base voters love to be lied to. So the Commie is in real trouble here.
Kamala Harris needs to do something, anything to set herself apart from the crowd, but her main problem is that she is a terrible campaigner and a singularly dislikeable individual. As a person who literally got ahead by sleeping with a powerful benefactor, her backstory is very unappealing, and her off-putting personality doesn’t help anything.
I still think Andrew Yang will have his moment in the sun in this race. Once the debates begin – and he’s already raised enough money to be on the stage – he will stand out from the rest of this moribund, unappealing field.
Everybody else who is currently in this race is wasting their time and money, even those who, like Irish Bob, believe they might make an appealing running mate for either of the two near-octogenarians at the top of the polls. Biden’s already focused on Georgia gubernatorial loser Stacey Abrams – who apparently feels she’s entitled to the slot – any other potential nominee is more likely to look outside of a bunch of just-defeated candidates for their running mate.
Again, I continue to believe that this week is the best polling week Biden will have in this race and that someone else will ultimately be the Democrat nominee. But at this point, given the amazing weakness of the rest of the field, I wouldn’t hazard a guess who that eventual nominee might be.
Honestly, I don’t really care. President Donald Trump will wipe the floor with any of these weak sisters, brothers and who-knows-what.
That is all.

I expect swamp draining to be a big topic in 2020. I want indictments and trials of the Progressives in both parties.
And I want a landslide for Trump and full control of House and Senate. I expect the second term to oversee massive change.
It is all about name recognition at this time. The total field is weak but so is the GOP stable of down ballot actors.
Biden is to the democrats what Trump was to the republicans in 2016. Except I don’t think he can beat Trump. They’re gonna have to off him. And looking at Seth Rich, et-al, I would not put it past them.
On so many levels, this is gonna be a fun 18 months. :)
The great white dope.
Biden isn’t certifiably insane, and he looks like a conventional left liberal, as opposed to a would-be commissar. That puts him ahead of most of the Democrat field.
Biden’s “success” shows the nation just how out of touch with the “mainstream RAT voter, the RAT Party “leadership” is. The Marxists, who are the “loud minority” in the RAT Party will assure Trump victory next year. Now, if we could only “change out” most of the RINOS currently in the Senate, the Trump Program could really get into high gear next term. Six more years, is precious little time to change the country’s former course with the RATs.
This is one guy that I don’t get, what has this guy EVER done that was noteworthy?.
How can anyone look at him and be enthusiastic or inspired, or hell anything, but “this guy is an idiot”.
Here is a guy that has said tons of stupid stuff about women and minorities (the holy grail of liberals) and he is the defacto leader for the Demos presidential candidates?
We are truly in upside down world.
They are going to have buyer’s remorse if they stick with this. Biden is only “electable” on paper. The real Biden is tedious, self-indulgent and dim.
Surprised that nasty smug witch Harris isn’t polling better
The dems are wanting Biden because he’s the least socialist. They know that America won’t vote for an admitted socialist. This is going to tick of the Bernbots and many will vote for Trump or stay home.
Biden is perfect. I’d let him be selected as nominee before I brought out the Ukranian scandal. Plus, he’s old and tired and will never keep up with President Trump. He does this little thing where he enters the room with a little run, trying to look young and energetic, but one day they’re going to have to revive him.
My thought exactly. Trump reelection seems like a perfectly safe bet right now.

Snow White and the twenty-one or so dwarfs.
Or maybe it is just Papa Smurf and the colony of Smurfs, with some Smurfettes thrown in.
Bernie Sanders is Gargamel, the evil wizard.
I would not be surprised if, in an effort to boost their numbers, that a story comes out regarding a homo relationship while in college from one of these people. Warren being the most probable. Or Harris and a three way with Big Willie and some slut.
I believe that eventually, in desperation, Bern will take the gloves off and begin educating the dembots about Biden’s Ukrainian/Chinese problem.
