Why Biden’s Lead Is Safer Than Clinton’s
Slate ^ | June 26, 2020 | William Saletan

Posted on 06/28/2020 5:26:39 AM PDT by CheshireTheCat

Former Vice President Joe Biden is thumping President Donald Trump in the polls. As of Friday, Biden led Trump by 10 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics national average and by six to nine points in each of four key states: Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. But many Democrats refuse to trust these numbers. They feel burned by 2016, when Hillary Clinton lost after leading in the polls for months. They’re afraid Trump will come back again.

That could happen. But it probably won’t, and one reason is that Biden isn’t Clinton. You can argue that public antipathy toward Clinton was sexist, based on lies, or propelled by the media. But that antipathy was a fact, and polls consistently documented it. Now polls are showing something else: On identical questions, posed by the same pollsters at the same stage of the campaign, Biden is doing far better than Clinton did. He’s more broadly liked and less broadly disliked than she was.

The only way they beat Trump is through voter fraud. That is a serious threat. They know how much more they need to cheat this time than they did with Clinton. We need voter ID now! We can’t allow massive vote by mail. Every single person that doesn’t want to see Biden win needs to get off their butts and vote.

The voter suppression claim is a con. By saying it disenfranchises black voters they are saying black voters are too lazy to find their way to the polls or so stupid they need help voting. Why can’t so many minorities see that for what it is?

I was a democrat volunteer during my early 20’s living in Chicago, in 1960’s. I don’t think anyone on this forum has more familiarity with voter fraud than me. JFK would never have been the president without Chicago.

Just like Hillary was in the last election and she won too.

Once Quid Pro Jomentia the groping Pedo picks Heels up Harris (who is NOT a Natural Born Citizen BTW) as his running mate, he will no longer be the official DemoncRat Candidate, he will be the official Placeholder.

That will guarantee their Ticket 99% of the Black Vote, which is their only reason for doing so.

There is no thought regarding Defense Policy, Economic Policy or Fidelity to our Constitution when dealing with the typical DemoncRat Voter.

Their only thought process is Hatred of POTUS Trump, his Supporters, American as founded and getting revenge when they regain the power they feel they were robbed of in 2016.

“Stand up for America.”

That’s brilliant! I hope Trump’s campaign uses it. Can Joe Biden even stand up at this point?

I also think Texas may be lost to Biden, as liberals are really confident this time, even expecting to take the TX House of Representatives for the first time since January 2003. Liberal icon Wendy Davis is back in the spotlight too running for Congress in a competitive district. An Beto O’Rourke, armed with 4,017,851 votes in 2018, says that Texas is Biden’s to lose.

So many white suburban women under 50 are fully committed to Biden because they so loathe Trump.

People I have spoken to think all this Anarchy, Looting and Rioting will stop on a dime as soon as Quid Pro Joementia the Groping Pedo and his token Woman of Color get Elected.

To me this Election is the equivalent of the infamous National Lampoon Magazine Cover, Elect Joe Biden (and his token V.P.) or we’ll shoot this Dog.

I believe George Wallace also used that slogan in 1968 to no avail.

It’s Susan Rice.

Married to a white Canadian globalist. Daughter of a Federal Reserve Governor and a Brookings Institute scholar who developed federally-guaranteed student loans.

Rhodes scholar who studied Zimbabwe and the “international peacekeeping system”. Awarded “most distinguished thesis” for that at Oxford. Worked in Canada for international political consulting firm. Foreign policy adviser to Michael Dukakis.

Covered up Benghazi for Obama and Clinton. Tried, so far successfully, to cover up the seditious conspiracy to block Trump.

She is PERFECT.

Harris got her start locking up the brothers for weed. I HOPE whoever is making Biden’s decisions is stupid enough to pick her, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

but 2018 everyone was wrong here thinking we’d gain house seats

Excuse me, but I predicted D +40 repeatedly here beginning in September 2018.

Most people here do not understand that the only thing more hated than Democrats is Republicans.

Since Trump is not really a Republican, he had a golden chance, briefly, in 2017 to make the break and give us a nationalist movement and government, but he failed, and the 2018 disaster was just the beginning of the pricetag.

I think Trump benefited a great deal from the anti-Hillary vote, or at least from the fact that a lot of Democrats didn't bother to show up and vote because Hillary was the candidate

This.

She was uniquely terrible as a candidate - and she still won by 2.9 million votes.

I doubt there will even be debates

Of course there won't be debates, at least not face-to-face.

“they know they are cruising for a massive loss—we will hold the Senate (maybe lose net 1-2 seats)—possibly take the House (looks better daily) and that Trump will win 320+ electoral votes. Not a “landslide” but in this climate, huge. Because they are cruising for such a defeat, they MUST get Trump off message.

They can’t beat Trump. Only Trump can beat Trump.”

Great insight!

(I’ll take the opinion of LS over just about anyone else. )

Also, I think Trump’s team is holding fire until closer to the election. We can scare the shiite out of lots of votors anytime, just with vids of what the Dems are bringing now. But emotions can’t be kept up for months. Also, Biden ain’t the official nominee yet. Harder to replace after he accepts.

Are you sure Biden can’t stay hidden? A fair media would demand he come out and make his case, but we know we do not have that. And I don’t see the masses demanding to see him either. I think Biden will get away with hiding until after the election. I’m not even convinced we will see more than one debate. Excuses (in Biden’s favor, of course) will be made.
