The U.S. will get the president that it so richly deserves.

Voldermort wasn’t born in the United States is therefore ineligible to hold the position.

Personally speaking, I can see some similarities between the Dark Lord and the current President.

Superficial at best.

He who must not be named was a truly self made, well read wizard who had to work for and earn everything that he ever had.

Good point.

What's important is who is leading in terms of electoral votes. According to at least one article, Biden is leading (by a small margin) in enough swing states to take an electoral majority.

Poll doesn’t matter .. from now until November 7 , Trump’s supporter will say all polls are fake and they will point to polls in 2016 when most of them were wrong. And after Nov 7 , they will say , millions of illegals voted for democrat so the election result is not legitimate!

 

[hislegacy]

Personally I think polls are just as important an accurate in April of 2020 as they were in April of 2016.

And after Nov 7 , they will say , millions of illegals voted for democrat so the election result is not legitimate!

Well, if Trump's supporters were to say "millions of illegals voted for democrat," that would at least be something that could be shown to be true or false, either way.

That would be an improvement over saying that Trump was an illegitimate president simply because he won the election of 2016. That one we've heard a lot, so it's not speculation.

Trump himself said that last election, and it was very obviously shown to be complete nonsense. This of course won't stop them saying it again win or lose.

I'm guessing that is your attempt at a comeback. I give it an A-.

Trump is going to need to spend a huge amount of time and effort to win FL and NC, both absolutely key to him.

The Democrats must win the rust belt: PA, MI, MN, and WI (or AZ instead of WI). Klobuchar will assure Biden the win in MN. She and Biden will spend almost all their time in the rust belt, although Biden will need to take to occasional trip to the West Coast to campaign in NV, CO, NM, and AZ.

Are you thinking that Klobuchar is the probable choice for VP? If I were Biden, I'd choose her over the other names I've been hearing.

CO will go to Biden just as Clinton won CO.

I think AZ will be his biggest challenge.

It has to be someone acceptable to the Bernie supporters.

Maybe. Sometimes the unity and the discipline just goes to pieces by the time the convention gets to the choice of VP. Then many delegates want to respect the decision made by the person on whom they pinned their hopes for winning the election in November.

I would prefer Klobuchar. I think that she will be a fine campaigner whether she is the VP nominee or not. And she would help a lot in swing districts. Personally, I think that Biden-Klobuchar would be a heavy favorite.

However, tt will be very, very difficult for Biden not to choose an African-American woman if at least one of the top three pass though the vetting process. Clyburn will be important in the campaign. While the Democrats likely won't win in NC, FL and GA, Clyburn heading the SE portion of the campaign will cause the Republicans to use lots of effort defending those states.

IMO, it will difficult for Biden not to choose Harris. An outrage from the left against Harris might make a difference.
