Until Biden got in I thought for sure the dims would lose. With Biden he's actually got a shot, he's much more likely to win than Hillary. Although I thought for sure she would have been able to beat Trump.

The Democrats continue to show disdain for the white blue collar worker. You would think after the blue wall fell like the walls of Jericho they would back up a bit on identity politics but they seem to be doing everything thing they can do to alienate white blue collar workers.

I like Trump and I think once again he is going to be the underdog with a tough uphill battle to win again. It is hard to imagine how a celebrity multi millionaire who is married to a model with buildings, resorts, casinos and clubs that bear his name can be an underdog but he is.

The Left has spent years denouncing and trashing Trump since day one and there is no sign of them letting up. The sad part is that many people only read the headlines and not the article so they tend to agree with the negative garbage that is heaped against our President. It is these brain washed individuals that could carry the day for anyone of the far outfield Lefties that are running.

Free stuff V. standing up and making your own way is tough to (excuse the pun) Trump.


We can only hope that enough people will see through the trash and make an educated vote that will benefit America and not drive it off the cliff.

For Trump supporters, it actually is all about identity politics. It's about white Christian identity. It's about this idea that America is a white Christian nation and ONLY white Christian culture should be tolerated.

Trump supporters are certain he will be re-elected because they have been saying, since the 1980s actually, that they are a "silent majority" who believe in God, guns, and traditional values. Whether or not that's actually true is a bit complicated.

i agree for the most part. the problem with biden is that he doesnt have much energy in his campaign though, and that will be an issue in the long run.


i too am concerned about a dark horse candidate getting into the race late and taking the country by storm. i doubt that will happen this time around though, more likely to happen in 2024.

biden has the best shot to beat trump, but he has to come up with a solid platform the people can get behind, and he has to match trumps energy. with only one of those going for him he will lose.


hillary lost because she had neither going for her. her platform was vote for me because i am not trump, and she didnt put much energy into the campaign, and that is what killed her in the "blue wall" states.


for instance many years ago when fred thompson got into the race for president in late 2007, i thought the republicans had a real shot to win the white house even against obama. but thompson, though he had good ideas, he had no energy in his campaign, and as a result he dropped out.

Personally I am glad Trump lovers are so confident. Reminds me on how confident Hillary supporters were and loo what happened!

Simple, Democrats can't win the primaries without the 'illiberal' left and they can't win the general with the 'illiberal' left.

I don't think so. Democrats do not disdain the workers or unions or middle class folks. Joe Biden speaks authentically to this demographic. I predict he'll take back at least Pennsylvania if he is the nominee. There is good reason for Trump's fear of Joe Biden.

He will not get through the primaries without having to kowtow to the anti white left.
