Democrats warn against overconfidence in fight against Trump
AP ^ | 6/27/2020 | Bill Barrow

President Donald Trump is entering the final four-month stretch before Election Day presiding over a country that faces a public health crisis, mass unemployment and a reckoning over racism. His Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, is raking in cash. And a series of national and battleground polls suggests growing obstacles to Trump's reelection.

Biden and his leading supporters are stepping up warnings to Democrats to avoid becoming complacent. Former President Barack Obama and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer insist that plenty could change between now and Nov. 3 and that the party must be vigilant against Trump, who knows few boundaries when it comes to his political foes.

“We understand that what happens five months before the election and what happens at the election can be very different things,” Whitmer said.

Michigan was one of the Midwestern states that Trump carried by a razor-thin margin in 2016, helping him win the Electoral College even as he lost the popular vote. Other Democrats in the state say the strength of the president's support shouldn't be underestimated.

“If the election were held today, I think Biden would win Michigan,” said Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell. “But the Trump supporters are out there, and they’re still intense.”

Obama underscored that point this week during his first joint fundraiser with Biden.

The libs know Biden is not leading by what the advertised polls claim.

We are in the middle of the biggest psyops operation in world history (no exaggeration).

it depends on who the moderator.

if it is a sensitive, female reporter that only ask questions from the left (think Judy Woodruff or Martha Rachic-ABC), DT will be on the defensive the whole night. Also, she will try to get a killer question in - i.e. why could you have done better and not kill 120K people?

The Democrats are salivating at the chance to finally destroy the country, to finish the job that Obama almost got done.

The economic disruption due to Covid-19 is a leftist’s wet dream. While the virus is a natural disaster, the fact that the left has not been able to capitalize on it has no doubt been eating away at them.

This was a half hearted treatment of a very serious problem for Joey Fingers. If this was a serious look at there problem. They would have cited the two recent surveys showing Trump supporters are 30 points higher than Democrat supporter’s.Michael Moore, correctly predicted that Trump would beat Hillary Clinton,said he doubted if one single person would wait 4 days outside a venue to hear Biden speak.He is right.

Republicans should be warned against the same with Biden.

You're assuming there is a first debate.

The media said that the American people will not tolerate a candidate who doesn't release his tax returns either. How did that work out?

There is no reasoning for no debates

On the contrary there is no reason for any debates. Trump has nothing to be gained from them. He's not going to get friendly moderators and he doesn't do well in a debate setting. Likewise Biden has nothing to gain from the debates and a lot to lose.

First part is true. Second part is false. He cleans up. People who don't like his tweets or his rally style also don't like his debate style.

Don’t you think that if it’s true that “Trump has nothing to gain from a debate” with Joe Biden, then his campaign is in a world of trouble? I’m just not seeing how Trump couldn’t benefit overall with Biden being in his current condition.

The Fake News Corp. will report Biden won the debate even if he loses. They will lie and cheat their way until November and edit out Biden gaffes.
