    Because, Democrats are showing their true colors. The WOMEN and PEOPLE of color they claim to care so much about them weren't good enough for them. Funny how it ends up being an OLD WHITE MAN. I bet I could find like 30 CNN/MSNBC clips of them spewing hate speech about OLD WHITE MEN

    Joe "You know the thing" O'Biden, was said he was running for election for the US Senate, and we should look him over, and you don't like him that we should "vote for the other Biden?" That guy?

    Yup, we are supposed to believe that O'Biden will make all those changes and keep all those promises that he failed to keep during the more than forty years he served as a US Senator, and the eight years he was the VP.

    Yup, O'Biden was not able to turn water into wine for fifty years, but he promises that this time will be different.

    Exactly, there is this great disconnect, Joe is the invisible candidate. Do they honestly think they can pull this off with no campaign, no debates, no press conferences? This is Banana Republic stuff, absolutely insane that the DNC would try something like this. So what happens when September rolls around and Joe's still a no show, do the Dem's honestly think they can run a campaign of sound bites and 30 second spots and no actual appearances? What about debates? Do the Dem's think there'll be no objections????

    Any honest analysis would have to acknowledge that Trump seemed an unlikely winner when the 2016 campaign began. With that being said, as that campaign progressed, Trump laid out a very clear vision and that created an enormous amount of enthusiasm amongst his supporters. It was that shocking enthusiasm that ultimately propelled him to what seemed an unlikely victory.

    Virtually nobody is enthused about Biden except perhaps his wife and kids. He is there by virtue of the reality that the far left so thoroughly hijacked the primary process, that literally every candidate on that stage was falling over themselves to see who could jump three spots to the left of the next guy (including Biden) regardless of the reality that they were all campaigning 10 steps to the left of the country as a whole. By the time that the pragmatist in the party flexed their muscles, the only remaining choice was between Bernie who is a proud self titled Socialist and Biden. When faced with that grim reality, the pragmatists chose the lesser of two electoral evils and went with the undeniably cognitively diminished Biden whom nobody even knows are his core policy positions.

    The end result is probably the first nominee from a major party in history that engenders zero enthusiasm even amongst his supporters. This is uncharted waters. His best strategy is to stay out of the spotlight so as not to reveal his obvious weakness. Being that 2nd term elections tend to largely be a referendum on the sitting president, Biden perhaps has a chance, but that chance is most certainly not predicated on any legitimate strength that Biden brings to the process. That chance is solely based on what democrats hope will be a sufficiently large anti Trump sentiment. Even if Democrats are relying upon an anti Trump sentiment, they would be in a FAR better position if they had a candidate that actually did engender enthusiasm, and whom was not obviously cognitively diminished which is not atypical from most nearly 80 year old people. There are a scant few older people that remain reasonably sharp (Pelosi, Schumer,Trump etc), but they are the exception and most certainly not the rule. Biden is most certainly NOT an exception, and everyone including Democrats realize that reality.

    The ONLY chance that Democrats have is an overwhelming anti Trump sentiment. Biden brings nothing to the table. If like every other election in history, Democrats had a candidate that created excitement in the base which propelled him to the nomination, their chances of victory would undeniably be significantly higher. As it stands now, anti Trumpism is their sole hope. Perhaps that will be enough, but I would not bet the farm on that prospect.

    Biden is basically Obama 2.0 when it comes to policy - which is a known quantity to Obama voters. It was a slow, but
    steady improvement in the economy, an average 12% return in the stock market, and improving unemployment numbers, with a nod toward environmentalists. Nothing spectacular, but at the same time, mostly positive.

    Trump was a political unknown in 2016 - we didn't know how he would be as an Executive. We now have a track record
    on him. It ain't very pretty. The swing voters in the middle will decide this race - not the anti-Trumpers or the Trump is god crowd.
    It all depends on the direction of the economy in the last few weeks before the election.

    Yes, and when Hannity soft balled Trump with (paraphrased) "When you are releected, what are your plans for your second term" Trump went into an incoherent rant and couldn't answer that simple question.

    Moreover...

    The vote is NOT about policies

    Congrats! you just proved my point that democrats don't care about POLICIES (you know, the root word in politics), they care about comedians.
    I'm not sure why you would admit this, but this will be on the internet FOREVER (unless you back out and edit it)

    I'm more comfortable with anyone who acts his age instead of like a four year old brat. Policy, ideology, etc. has taken a backseat in this election. my slogan, "ADULT 2020." I think come November you'll find out a lot of swing voters like me are just plan sick and tired of Trump's childish antics. We'll see in about 3 months. I don't think they'll be voting against Trump's policies per se, but against the man himself, the individual, the thin skin egotistical man-child. But we'll see, time will tell.

    I firmly believe Trump supporters, Republicans in general don't know, if they do, won't acknowledge Trump's very unpresidential behavior effects on the group of voters known as independents. Trump is a very easy man to get to dislike.

    And given the virus, it’s counterproductive for Biden to be out there

    Politically Incorrect means he never gets it right and he doesn't have to, he's an entertainer and his shtick is saying crap that gets bug eyed liberals damp in their panties.

    Doddering or not, it's time for an adult to occupy the White House. I tired of a 74 year old man acting like a spoiled four year old brat, temper tantrums, name calling who's parents failed to teach him any manners. Time for this schoolyard bully to go. It's time for the man-child to go.

    I've been saying he is just warming a seat for AOC, with the only wrinkle being that of succession. Whoever Biden does pick as VP this time can NOT be AOC because she's still too young. She'll just barely be old enough, but that's AFTER the filing date expires for filing for Prez. This will be an issue in 2024. You have to be the age to file, not expecting to be.
