All Biden has to do is keep breathing:

Is it too tinfoil of me to think they're trying to mainstream the idea that it would be OK to elect Joe, and then have him resign once in office?

....And go to Wisconsin.

Although people fault Clinton for neglecting WI and MI, I'm not sure she was wrong to avoid them.

From all evidence, it seemed the more people see of her, the more they dislike her. Going to WI and MI may have been counterproductive.

I say that because I'm fairly certain Biden is going to fall into that situation, too. Replace "dislike her", though, with "question his mental stability."
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I am sure Biden wants to get to know more union workers.  He has done so well with them recently.  =)

Democrats PANIC As Trump Hits ANOTHER Polling Record And Biden Is Useless, Dems Riddled With Anxiety

This is a Tim Pool video, but I have come across a couple links recently talking about Trumps polling numbers being pretty good considering all that is going on.  I guess we will see how this plays out the next month or so.

Worded differently now though, I think they removed some of what she said about the incident. IIRC it had more details of the supposed act.

I hadda laugh at "the woman must be believed," and the spokeslady for Biden in this incident saying this must all be carefully vetted, blah, blah blah.

Yeah, I gotcher vetting right here, lady.

Turnabout is fair play.

Democrats PANIC As Trump Hits ANOTHER Polling Record And Biden Is Useless, Dems Riddled With Anxiety

I tend to not take this stuff for granted.  George HW Bush came out of the First Gulf War with astronomical approval ratings, far higher than what Trump is seeing now.  Eighteen months later, after earlier reneging on a campaign promise and raising taxes and arguably causing the 1992 recession, Clinton handed his fanny to him in the '92 election.
Trump could very easily lose reelection in November.  In fact, I think he will after the economic fallout from the COVID-19 crisis.  If in fact COVID-19 infects and kills less people than a typical flu season, the Democrats will claim Trump is to blame for ruining the economy unnecessarily because of it.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I started this thread a year ago. Only 3 clowns are left. Trump's chances look a bit dicier than they did a year ago, but the Democrats haven't exactly risen to the occasion. Sanders is all but finished. Biden's campaign has, predictably, fallen apart, but he's still the frontrunner.

Cuomo is being groomed by the American Pravda who represents the DNC.  Biden will drop out for health reasons just prior to the D convention and Cuomo will be drafted. 
Cuomo will pick a leftist woman for VP...maybe a leftist woman of color.  That's the ticket, yeah. 
Cuomo and a leftist woman of color...who is handicapped.  Yeah.

Just to clarify, Clinton did NOT hand Bush Sr his fanny.  He squeaked by against a damaged candidate with a 3rd party challenger pulling R votes away.  The vote count was something like 43% to Clinton with Bush Sr at about 37%.  Ross Perot didn't win any states, but wiki says he got nearly 19% of the vote.  That hurt Bush Sr a lot more than Clinton did.  Without Perot, enough of those Perot voters might have held their noses and voted for Bush.  I don't think any of the recently leftist 3rd party candidates have gotten so many votes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_United_States_presidential_election

It is probably for the best that Bush Sr lost.  Anti-gun executive orders is one of the things he did that cost him reelection.  If he had knuckled under and passed the AWB, it may not have had the 10 year sunset and voters may not have voted out the Democrats in the House in 1994.

Well, she is a clown, and might be as good a VP candidate as any of the other likely clowns.

My wife and I watch Chris Cuomo on CNN whenever he's interviewing his brother the Governor. The politics are execrable as usual, but the way they rib each others as brothers, or "Mom said this", and "Mom always said" type of stuff they shoot at each other in this deadpan way like it's an interview going bad when it really isn't is genuinely funny.

Anyway, Chris asked Andrew if he was considering running for POTUS, he emphatically said "No." to everything, including if he was even considering it, or would consider it in the future. Granted, I know what that's worth, since he can change his mind and say "Yes" at any time.

But for what that's worth right now... (not much, but there it is)
I promise not to duck.

It would be pretty impressive if he threw together a half-way competitive presidential bid this close to the convention/general election, while dealing with one of the worst disease outbreaks in recent memory. Then again, his competition on the Democrat side is, well, what it is.

My wife is nominally conservative, but easily swayed by the MSM. And she was wondering aloud last night if Cuomo would run an independent campaign, and I was all: "Yes! He should do EXACTLY that!"  :rofl:

And I also stated what's also cool is he'd be the FIRST president with the name "Andrew". (My name) She didn't correct me.

But, she graduated with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts, and there's only so much you can do.  :lol:
