I am a little surprised by the confidence and hubris of the dems who seem assured of a Biden win, like 2016.

The numbers just do not add up and it would appear that Trump is poised to win by a bigger margin than 2016.

Democrats- I wonder if you really believe Joe is going to win, or whether it is just political posturing and hope that is manifesting in these projections?

No one can predict the future- maybe he will. However, Joe's chances seem to be slipping lower every day and the current winds of the Biden scandals (as well as his revelations that he plans to D/C fossil fuels) has not helped. The DNC has persuaded Obama to do a campaign blitz while Biden is hiding out, but it appears too little, too late.

Anyone here really think Biden is going to win?

Not a Democrat, but the fact that my mostly military conservative family has flipped and is voting Biden makes this feel a lot different than 2016. Even the in-laws that were down the Breitbart rabbit hole have come around and say they can't support a second Trump term.

You'll get nothing but anecdotal evidence here, but the reality, Joe Biden does not pass the eye test.

He has mental issues that, due to his age, cannot be corrected. Do you REALLY want someone this close to death as your president? Especially given the cackling stoner he chose as his VP?

Trump is only 3 years younger...and in worse shape with plenty of on camera gaffes and losing his train of thought.

find a 5 minute video of Trump gaffes and post the link. Then look for how many 5 minute Biden gaffes you can find in the last 4 years....

Unless one side or the other wins decisively, we are in for weeks of litigation until the Supreme Court decides the outcome.

I don't have an issue with mail-in ballots per se but it does have the potential to create disputes on which are valid and which are not based on applicable state law.

I think the chances are pretty close to 50/50. Vegas is usually spot on with these things. Right now they do favor Biden so if you think Trump is going to win, place your bets. If you want to game a bit more speculatively, throw $100 towards Kamala winning the election. If for some reason Biden gets incapacitated in the next week, you'd win huge.


Joe Biden -200

Donald Trump +170

Mike Pence +20000

Kamala Harris +20000


Keep in mind that Hillary was even more favored last election than Biden is this election.

Biden is a risk but he was the best the Dems could come up with. He is like a worn but still warm pair of slippers to wear on a cold night. Harris was picked for her gender and skin tone as much for her far Left ideas.



Trump of course has his issues too with his foot in his mouth and thumbs in a twist on Twitter but at least he Likes America and wants us all to do well.



And then there is Pence who may just be the most level headed and respected of the bunch.



I think Biden is the "hail Mary pass" for the Dems. If he wins all is good but if not then they will double down on trashing and removing Trump that will give us Pence and he is not bad.



There are many Democrats that think Biden will win in a landslide because they have swallowed everything they have been spoon fed by the media.
