It's gotta be tough to be center-left media outlet Axios.
They pay a ton of money to do focus group work on swing state voters ... and the voters don't tell them the story they had probably hoped to hear. Witness this:
Some swing voters in Warren, Mich., question Joe Biden's ability to lead the country — calling him a "puppet" who's not "mentally capable of being president" — while admitting they haven't paid much attention to his events, platforms or speeches.
They've got it down as 'some' from their focus group of voters who had voted for President Obama in 2012 and then went for Trump in 2016, which, to be fair, is accurate enough.
But it doesn't tell the whole story. Actually, that 'some' looks like quite a lot -- only two of the nine voters in the swing-state focus group actually plan to vote for Biden. The other seven, well, Axios doesn't say, but they're probably either undecided or more likely (given the Axios reticence) voting again for Trump.
In a story from last month, Axios found that nine out of 10 Trump voters intend to stick with Trump.
Meanwhile, back in Michigan, the swing voter verdict on Biden is pretty brutal - here's a sample from the Axios report:

Heck, the Democrat Party is a puppet and not making any sense.
It is the enemy and if it gains control, it can be expected to be treated as the worst enemy ever to confront our beloved country.
Enough will be enough.
I still don’t get it. How can even the most deranged Lib think Biden and stand in a debate against Trump? It will be sad to watch Biden melt.
bottom line, watch for presto-change-oh at the convention, IE Hitlerina Clintonista.
The only decision Biden would make as President is what flavor of pudding to have after this nap.
He will completely controlled by a clique of the Democrat Establishment and Deep State. I doubt they will even tell him their decisions, unless he needs to speak on the topic.
Biden viewed as ‘a puppet’...
“Biden is a puppet” is the correct counter to keeping him out of sight.
Dr. Jill will be making that decision for "Her Joey", too.
I think that sort of move could actually hurt them with a lot of “thinking” democrats. People don’t like to be played.
They may not vote for Trump, but they very likely would not vote at all - or vote third party or write in someone.
They are right. The dems chose him because they want the folks to think he is a sensible “moderate.” They think Republicans will vote for him because he’s not that bad, and will not hurt the country.
The media is faithfully doing its part, struggling to paint a picture of biden as sharp, moderate, sensible and honest. The reality is he is nothing. He repeats what the dem party tells him. He knows his role: to sneak into the oval office and implement dem party goals. Then, at the appropriate time, leave office and let the black woman become president.
If it’s susan rice or stacey abrams, the country is finished. If it’s kamala harris, the demise of the USA will take longer, since she is an opportunist, not a fanatical America-hater.
And the strings are apparently tied to his wee wee.
“9 out of 10”?! I’ll bet it’s more like 9.8.
I think Biden will be pressured by the deep state to pick Hillary as his VP candidate.
Then if elected by fraud, the left will pronounce Biden unfit for office and the cabinet will remove him and HRC will become POTUS.
She is the only one committed to keeping all of the DS out of jail.
How could they pay attention to his “events, platforms and speeches” when he won’t come out of the basement to give them?
And the media hides what blathering he does do
Story from yesterday on this subject; > 30 posts.
Instead, they ran one of the most vile, contemptuous, and outwardly hateful candidates in Hillary Clinton. Even if she was halfway capable of running a competent campaign, she too, would be President right now. It's too bad for them that her campaign theme seemed to be, "It's time for a woman to be President, and I deserve it!"
The Democrats had 3 solid years to choose a modest candidate--one who was experienced in governing, didn't openly support far-left policies (or perhaps knew where to draw the line with them), and one who was moderately likable.
Instead, the Democrats threw out Leftist Socialists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, openly white-haters like Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, and a long list of also-rans who simply didn't have any of the gravitas or qualifications needed to unseat Trump.
So now, the Democrats have to prop up their savior, Joe Biden, whose only real qualifications are that he's still breathing, and he was associated with the Obama administration.
They had over three years to ensure a Presidential victory in 2020; all they had to do was pick any other Democrat--someone that would've signed any Democrat-drafted legislation, or nominated any Leftist to SCOTUS.
Instead, the Dems are running a strategy of exploiting a virus, and keeping Joe Biden alive and hidden until January 2021.
Don’t think Biden will make it through their convention. A tragically serious illness will remove him at the very last mement and the Dem party will strong arm the Super Delegates to hoist Hillary as candidate by acclamation, no need for the other delegates to bother...party on like it was the Paul Wellstone memorial service!!
Campaign slogan:
"You could've elected me 4 years ago, how you like me now?"
“It will be sad to watch Biden melt.“
It will be GREAT to see Biden melt. He has schmoozed his way around DC for forty years, lining his pockets, making deals for his loser sons, flip flopping politically and cuddling little girls in photo ops. He has accomplished nothing and is a ringleader of the SWAMP.
They are holding out for his female-black VP to take over in March 2021 if he gets in.
