Biden needs to come out the basement and start talking about JOBS JOBS JOBS! He needs to talk about healthcare, too, but millions will lose theirs if Trump wins.
Biden is between a rock and a hard place. If he stays hidden in his basement, it just looks like....well....he's too scared of revealing himself to the public. But OTOH, if he does go out and speak off the cuff, answering reporters' questions....well....he WILL reveal himself to the public.

He's trying to split the difference and stall, hence the claim that he will leave his basement in 10 days. (It will have been three weeks since his speech at the DNC.) It's simply a stall tactic to limit the time before Election Day in which he will be showing how cognitively impaired he is.

But the "experts" are all saying that Joe Biden is winning and is sure to win! Deja vu anyone?

According to Michael Moore, '“enthusiasm for Trump is off the charts” in key areas compared with the Democratic party nominee, Joe Biden'. That is correct. Almost nobody has any enthusiasm for Joe Biden.

Bill Maher is offering similar observations, which I will post on below.

Of course he will win. There is ZERO enthusiasm for Biden to being with, then BLM and ANTIFA sealed the deal.

When Trump is re-elected, the gloves will be off to deal with the ANTIFA and BLM terrorists. China will be bummed, as Biden would have been great for them.

One would think that Mayer, Moore and their ilk would actually be rooting for Trump to win because he has given them so much material to hate on over the years. Trump is good for ratings.





It is going to be tough for the media if Biden should win because they will be constantly deciphering what he meant to say, and spinning it wildly in an attempt to tell us that everything is going to be wonderful.

I would have liked to have been a 'fly on the wall' on Friday morning, when they discussed their current situation in the aftermath of the convention.

But, to be fair, the enthusiasm and momentum for President Trump that Michael Moore spoke about was there and hitting on all cylinders before the convention. The effect of the convention was like a turbocharger kicking in - hard.

I would have liked to see them discuss their realization of this, without the spin or the flat-out lies that they present to the public on television interviews. Unfiltered.

We saw Biden announce he was coming out his basement on that same morning, so it must have been some kind of a wake up and shake up session.

My 90 year old mom, who is living unassisted, watched both debates. She votes Democrat usually but even she was impressed with the Republican convention. In her opinion, the Republican convention was positive, inspiring and featured some great speeches. The Democrats, otoh, were whining and attacking Trump.

You're so right about this Rachel

When Biden isn't reading notes or from a teleprompter, he is an unmitigated disaster!

He felt similarly nervous in 2016. I do not recall him actually predicting that President Trump was going to beat Hillary Clinton, but he did express nervousness and doubts about whether things were as solidly in the bag as the prevailing narrative by the Democrat left "experts" and the media were predicting.

But the polls!

The polls are not predictive of the future. Everyone here knows that, right?
Hillary had bigger leads in some of these swing states the day before the election than Biden has now. As a Democrat, I hope the party wakes up and stops the urban terrorists destroying our cities or Trump wins again.

It was just like 2016. The DNC both then and now was so anti-Trump that it offered nothing positive and of substance for Americans. Sure, President Trump attacked Democrats both then and now, but there was also plenty of positivity at the RNC both in 2016 and this year.

Note, when I brought up the DNC's extreme negativity to one of my leftist friends, his response was that they "had to be" in order to bring attention to "Trump's crimes"

I don't care what anyone says, not celebrities, not polls, not the media.

Do not do what the left did in 2016 and sit it out because you think it's a sure win.

Get your backsides up and go vote, and while you're there, feel free to vote out every Democrat on every possible ticket....all the way down to the things in your city/neighborhood. ALL of it.

You can't get rid of the roaches by just taking out a few, you need to get them all out.
