So are the left leaning posters here saying they do not trust the polls? For the record?

And at least one other poll only sampled people with landlines!
Do “younger people” answer polls? Can pollsters actually contact cell phone users? Do younger people even care about the election, especially this early?

People I know claim they don’t watch the news.

So today California Senator Diane Feinstein is spurning her fellow California Senator Kamala Harris (who is both a woman and dark skinned) in favor of Joe Biden (who in leftist terms is very old, melanin challenged, and afflicted with toxic masculinity).

That Feinstein is not being moved by Kamala Harris very strong identity politics credentials is sure to invite criticism against her from some of her fellow leftists. It also establishes the precedent for others to ignore these criteria as well.

It is hard to imagine there not being a candidate from the SJW/"Political correctness"/"Identity politics" wing of the party. But Booker is a clown and he cannot carry this mantle.

What is interesting is how Joe Biden has opened his campaign going hard and heavy with the race card and the divisive and incendiary racial invective. If he can somehow carve out a large chunk of support from this group that votes this way, then he may be all but assured of winning the nomination.
Feinstein, who had a Chinese spy working for her for 20 years backs Biden whose son got rich off deals with China.....anyone else find this disturbing?

How about a reliable link for these accusations? Not YouTube or Breitbart!

Are you OK with the Washington Post?
Explain the Chinese spy, Sen. Feinstein

Well, this month we learned that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) had a Chinese spy on her staff who worked for her for about 20 years, was listed as an “office director” on payroll records and served as her driver when she was in San Francisco, all while reporting to China’s Ministry of State Security through China’s San Francisco Consulate. The reaction of the mainstream media? Barely a peep.

Feinstein acknowledged the infiltration but played down its significance. “Five years ago the FBI informed me it had concerns that an administrative member of my California staff was potentially being sought out by the Chinese government to provide information,” Feinstein said in a statement — which means the breach took place while Feinstein was heading the Intelligence Committee.

Google it yourself. There are plenty of sites talking about it.

80 year old Biden: It's "His Turn" = Nomination


The hapless DNC never learns.





Trump will wipe the floor with Biden.

Agree. That's if he can make it to a few rallies. He might keep the same schedule that Hillary maintained, like one rally and two weeks off to recover?

He's managing only 4 events in May. I doubt there will be 1000 show up for them all combined.



I don't think the old guy has it in him.
