I don't think a narrative of "Joe sinking fast" can really take hold absent a series of consistent..

polls or some actual significant gaffe. He's the frontrunner in large part due to general favorability and name recognition. That means his support is always going to be a little somewhat "softer" than the candidates who have to earn every point, day by day, in this very campaign. But he was so far in front of all the other candidates and the country is so hungry for normalcy, he probably has a little cushion. Not so much that he can coast his way to the nomination without doing anything, but enough that he isn't going to be knocked out every time one of the up-and-comers gets a zinger.

And Kamala's bump is already fading. That's the nature of a "bump." I think she's solidified her position as a serious candidate (which is something notable) but she hasn't taken over anything in this race.

Biden needs to go out and sell himself as committed, energetic, and flexible--as well as dependable. If he keeps his black support anywhere close to where it is, he just needs to do well in the first couple of contests and the southern primaries will put this away for him.

But there's a lot of road between here and Iowa.

If Trump Wins Reelection, Look No Further Than The Media and Some on the Left's Response to Biden's

remarks.

We’re going on five news cycles essentially covering the fallout from Biden basically saying “if I could work with those racists, I can work with anyone.” But a president playing reality TV with potential war and being publicly and credibly accused of rape barely registers.

There’s no reason for the Dems to lose in 2020, but mark these words; they will lose if we and the media hold our candidates to ultra sensitive, PC, gaffe-free standards while continuing to hold the bizarro world president to bizarro world standards.

Looks as though Kanye realizes what a tool he's been for the alt-right...or his sales are down

Frickin scumbag. I like that most black folks and liberals seem to be telling him to piss off.
