Not a candidate anymore, an incumbent now. Amazing how candidate Trump won in 2016 more amazing than winning re-election, Biden is the worst candidate the Dems have put up the last 50 years. Winning re-election for any incumbent is an easier feat than winning the 1st time.

I actually thought with covid19 and the dems would wise up and put a smarter candidate as the nominee. When Bloomberg announced, I was surprised and thought they finally brought in someone with big guns. But how shocking the left turned on him, the Dems really fell for BLM and identity politics so they attacked Bloomberg on all of his frisking policies.

They put on the Russian hit on Tulsi when Clinton labeled her an agent of Russia.

This all goes to show the establishment wants nobody other than someone they can work with and that's Joe Biden and not Sanders, Warren, Tulsi or Yang. Truly disappointing but not surprising. When you put Nancy Pelosi back as the House majority lead, you know the establishment is still running the party.

You mean blatant violations of the 4th amendment. Are some people not entitled to the rights that are spelled out in the Constitution?

And you are correct. Joe Biden is an establishment candidate which makes him a friend of Republicans and democrats whose only priority is making money for themselves.

Bloomie was sharp in a lot of ways, but arbitrary stop and frisk is probably the most gross race based violation of individual rights since Jim Crow.

The other side is already burning themselves into not trying to twist Biden into a leftist socialist. I can’t even imagine what they do if it was Warren or one of the farther left candidates.

And actually I don’t think the establishment is such a bad thing. I’d be a heck of a lot less concerned about the future if John Kasich had won the Republican nomination in 2016 than what we have now.

You’re not actually implying that the current admin isn’t primarily after personal money and power are you?? I make everyone else look like amateurs when it comes to rewarding cronies and raiding the treasury.

... depending on his popularity rating.
Historically, an approval rating of 50% or higher in the run-up to election day assures an incumbent of victory, and by the same measure, an approval rating of 40% or less means that the incumbent will not win. An approval rating between 40 and 50 indicates that the situation is... dicey.

Currently, Mr. tRump's approval rating is in the low 40s, which means that he could win, or--more likely--he will have a difficult time achieving victory. If past is prologue, then even the most ardent tRumpkin would have to concede that Jared & company shouldn't be writing his inauguration speech just yet.

I would have been in on Bloomberg.

Loving Trump’s stand on China. My fear is that China will give Biden a giant jar of Vaseline and go back to screwing us.

Do you remember Trump pulling out of TPP? Do you remember which administration negotiated TPP?
