Even from a non-American perspective, it’s obvious that a Republican’s going to win.
The Democrats have what? Hillary, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.
I wish that were true. Unfortunately with voter fraud running rampant in dim districts, it isn’t a sure thing.
“The Democrats have what?”
Voter fraud.
What else do they need?
I wish I could share your optimism.
Too many of our younger people are in love with Bernie Sanders. Too many think the time has come for us to become Europe.
47% will pull the D lever no matter what. They can easily push that over the top by promising to forgive student loans.
It’s not that obvious. Joe Biden is an idiot, but for some reason he’s very popular.
The GOP has some excellent candidates, but this means the voters have to really care one way or the other.
Trump is an aging (older than Biden) populist opportunist whose positions are little different from those of the Dems - free everything for everybody and by the way, I hate Wall Street - and also the press loves him because he’s an entertainer and he sells. Add to that the fact that he, like Romney, is heavily self-funded and has hired companies who know how to manipulate the conservative low-information voters (who are mostly elderly). The sad thing is that this old man is taking the attention of the press away from people who actually would be good young candidates and set a path for the future - and I’m sure the Dems are rubbing their hands in glee.
It’s true that the Dems don’t even have any candidates under the age of 70 (I think they’ll all be that age by the time of the election and some are already over it). We have them, but they’re going to have to fight really hard to kick out the old guard, which includes Trump. He keeps invoking Reagan, with whom he has nothing in common, but many voters now were born after Reagan left office and most of them probably don’t know a thing about him and don’t care.
So even though the GOP has young candidates, Trump with his old man’s vanity is working hard to keep them from getting a chance. Maybe he needs one of those “Old Guys Rule” t-shirts that they flaunt in my tourist town.
In any case, I’m sure Biden is going to be the Dem candidate. Hillary will never go to jail because that just doesn’t happen to Dems, Bernie is actually an Independent running as a Dem, and Biden is the going to be their guy.
