Trump vs Biden may not be the match Democrats are hoping for

President Trump is ready to rumble. At a recent rally, he mocked the large field running against him and implored Democrats to “Just pick somebody; let’s start this thing.” Nobody since Bill Clinton has showed such enthusiasm for the fight, or is so good at it.

At the same event, Trump completely obliterated Democrat wunderkind Pete Buttigieg, saying: "He’ll be great representing us against President Xi of China…I want to be in that room. I want to watch that one."

Who didn’t automatically picture the fresh-faced young mayor from South Bend facing off against the battle-tested, remorseless Xi? It is a devastating, and lasting, vision.

Trump has recently declared “Sleepy Creepy” Joe Biden his likely opponent in 2020, saying the former vice president could keep the pole position throughout the campaign. Everyone else, he says, is “fading fast.” He may be right.

Even as nearly every political soothsayer suggested that his first day as a candidate was likely to be his best, Biden has proven doubters wrong by pulling dramatically ahead. According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, he now leads next-closest rival Bernie Sanders by an average of 27 points, up from 6 points the day he entered the race.

This, in spite of his unwelcome hug-fests, recent bone-headed dismissal of China as a rival, and an emerging story suggesting he used his office to win his son Hunter business deals with government-backed Chinese operators. Not to mention the frantic efforts by Democrat competitors to grab headlines.

For months Biden has been advertised as the candidate most likely to beat Donald Trump in 2020, and during that same period numerous surveys have shown that “electability” is Democrats’ number one priority. In head-to-head match-ups, polls show Biden indeed coming out on top by seven points.

I’m on record of predicting Biden/Harris. I think it’s the rats most potent choice. The media will pump them up and the tickets checks lots of boxes

Biden will not get it—he is the wrong skin color and sex. It will be a woman of color and a latino man. Harris / Castro is my guess.

The liberal media wanted it to be so, so it is...until it isn’t.

” Harris / Castro is my guess.”

Raul or Fidel?

Shame because unless one of them dies, that is what they are going to get!

“I also suspect a lot of Dems will just stay home. I would if I were one.”

Not sure about that. Every single loving and tolerant democrat I know without exception doesn’t simply disagree with his policies but hates him and his supporters with every fiber of their being. Simply speaking his name aloud invokes anger, and hate at levels I have never seen. You can visibly see their blood pressure rise. Back in the day I would destroy any democrat discussion thread by mentioning sarah palins name in the context of the discussion, and the thread would instantly devolve into palin bashing and cease to be a discussion. This TDS is far far beyond that.

We'll need to combine this into one meme and ask him why it's okay for him to do this... frequently and relentlessly.

If you find any other videos of him doing things like this, send them to me so I can make a meme.

The meme war has not yet begun, but this one is pretty powerful.

DISGUSTING! Anyone that tried that with one of my young daughters would instantly regret it.

It must suck so bad to be a Democrat right now, when you get the candidate who can’t help himself from committing sexual assaults on a regular basis, because all the others are substantially worse!
