#6 the uprising by the Antifa-Democrat axiswhere state and local Democrat politicians wink at the violent, militarized wing of their party’s criminal antics in order to intimidate the normal, ,

BLM-Antifa = IRA Provos
Democratic Party = Sinn Fein

#8 #2 - JFM: If I remember correctly, Jennifer Rubin is the Washington Post's so-called 'conservative voice'. I did read a few of her columns years ago, but I can't remember if I gave up on her or the Post first. I don't remember whether she has Nancy Pelosi looks, or not.

Good to see you again, mon ami!

#9 The only thing required of Biden is that he is not Trump, and that may be enough.

He could die.

#11 Fox News polls

Arizona: Biden 46%, Trump 42%
Ohio: Biden 45%, Trump 43%
Wisconsin: Biden 49%, Trump 40%

No good options?

#12 Bradley Effect, EC.
Polls understate Trump's support by at least 10 points now

#13 A few percent, maybe, but more than 10%? I doubt it.
At this point only a magic 3rd quarter will save Trump.
I expect the U.S. economy to rebound, but jobs in the service industry will take a longer time to recover.

#14 I know you hate Trump but you're ignoring reality. Even the Dems' own top economists are expecting a strong economy and telling their party to try another tack.

As to "The Silent Majority," we've seen this movie before - again and again.

There is no way a goof like Biden can win unless he hits the jackpot with 1) suburban marrieds amd 2) white working-class Dems in MI PA and WI.

Few suburban parents are going to vote for the party of BLM-Antifa. Few working-class whites in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are going to vote for the "Defund the Police" party.

And few black men are going to be inspired to actually show up at the polls and vote for a senile, pathetic little old white man who supported aggressive policing throughout his 50-year career of buffoonery, lying and non-achievement.

But there are millions of Americans who are appallled by the violence and who will absolutely vote against anarchy and violence this fall.

#18 A few percent, maybe, but more than 10%? I doubt it.

Don't know the situation in Germany, but here the polls tend to have a lot of bias which greatly reduces their value for prediction. Example: Hillary was the overwhelming favorite in the last election.

It helps to look at where the numbers are coming from, but even Nate Silver missed Trump becoming President.

At this point, probably best to think of them as battle-space preparation rather than statistics.

#20 Biden couldn’t beat my morbidly obese chihuahua by 10%

But Biden *is* still in the game. I find that so surprising that it makes me think there is something else going on - like using him as target to draw Trump's fire now but replacing him later.

Let us note for the record that E.C. correctly called Biden vs Warren for Dem candidate. I figured there was no way the Dems would pick a old, senile, white guy over a woke POC Vagino-American, but they picked the old, senile, white guy. What do I know?
