As Sanders goes down I expect her to gain. Biden is in the drivers seat.

They said it would happen after the trumped up claims about inappropriate touching. It didn't happen.

They said it would happen after he finally jumped into the race. It didn't happen.

They said it would happen after the first debate. It didn't happen.

They said it would happen after the second debate. It didn't happen.

They said these gaffes would doom him. It hasn't happened.

Meanwhile, Sanders, Harris and now Warren have all been pegged, with varying results, as the up and coming favorite but there's one constant: Joe Biden has universally been atop the polls nationally, and a good chunk of polls in Iowa & NH.

Biden launched his campaign on April 25th, four months ago. In that four months, his lead has remained remarkably stable. There's no reason to believe it won't hold four months from now, which will take us right to the end of 2019 and on the cusp of the Iowa Caucus. People keep underselling Biden but he continues to endure.

I did not think he would stumble or collapse. Here is how I read it wrong. I thought thirty percent was going to be his ceiling. That is how I saw it. Ends up that thirty percent is looking like his floor.

2020 Election

Biden: 53%
Tangerine Chump: 45%
Special Ed third party candidates: 2%

Biden will reclaim Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, which alone will be enough to secure the presidency. But I think he'll also pick up Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, and has a good chance of getting Iowa, Ohio, and Texas as well. It's going to be a blow out!

People are tired of Trump. They're tired of the circus show and clown act. He's lost independents, suburban women, and there's going to be less white men without college degrees this time demographically. I read somewhere there's about 3% of those less in the population this time around, and that number is only going to go up in subsequent years. That 3% alone would have been enough to hand Hillary the victory last time. And a lot of those losers that either stayed home or voted for Jill Moscow Stein last time will not be doing so again.

Stay focused, stay calm, and get out the vote. This nightmare will soon be over.

I would dearly love to see a fe prez! But IMHO, it’s going to take a huge seismic shift for her pass mr. Biden...
what’s concerning is her inability to gain traction with the AA voting block. As of this week she’s right around 8%

As bold as they come and makes almost no missteps. Damn near impossible considering her availability to the public and press, willingness to answer on pretty much anything, and her putting forward bold idea after bold idea.

She’s extremely sure-footed on domestic issues; I feel she has devoted more time and thought to them than anyone running, so I don’t worry about her stepping in it. I’m interested to see how she handles Biden and the press when the topic moves to foreign policy and national security. I knew she was running this time around when she landed a spot on Armed Services after the midterms. That was a good move and knowing her it wasn’t just for window dressing.
