The Democrats could literally dig John Kennedy out of his grave at Arlington and win this election. The problem from my skewed view on the other side of the aisle is that many in their base won't vote for someone that isn't as far left as they are.
I was a bit afraid of this a while back, around the time when the tide turned almost overnight toward Biden from Bernie. I thought those Bernie people might sit it out and not participate and let the election fall to Trump. over the past few months, I think even those VERY left folks have decided that this Trump bullshit is just way too much to bear. I think those far left Bernie folks are going to vote for Biden because although they have a burn it all down mentality about the current state of government, they are scared out of their wits about another term of Trump.
Aside from that, I'm sort of with you, Kevin. I'm beginning to think they can run a bag of pig shit and win by 8% over Trump. Trump gonna get his 44% or 45% almost for certain, but that appears to be his ceiling. Biden ain't Hillary. He's vanilla ice cream and kind of daft and goofy, but he can run circles around imbecile Trump on his worst day. Barring some kind of Biden collapse, I'm more concerned about the senate. It's been amazing to watch what the Repubs against Trump are doing on a daily basis in terms of their messaging. Those guys are burning the whole fucking thing down. These are hard core repubs that ragged on Obama and any other Dem for decades, and now they're saying to vote against ANY Repub who supported Trump, ever! Commercials telling voters to remember the names of Joni Ernst, Sue Collins, McSally, McConnell and every other one of them. Basically, just burning down the whole fucking party that they've been a huge part of running for the last 30 yrs. Nice to see a few with principles. Of course, I'm taking a bit of guilty pleasure.
There was a poll on how supporters of other dem candidates plan to vote, and the strongest support for Biden is the Elizabeth Warren camp. 12% of the Bernie supporters voted Trump, and the poll has 4% of them supporting Trump this go around.
I love that ad you referenced. I don't know who's doing Trump's ads, but they're awful. The anti-Trump Republican ads have been outstanding.
