    Maybe that's true, but I don't see the democrat party and particularly Biden as the answer to that.

    I'll tell you why. Most people support withdrawal of troops. They want their husbands, sons, daughters, wives home. If the Dems were to cave on this then it would be a Win for Trump.

    Relief Checks are 50/50 but approving it means Trump can take at least some credit. Can't have that.

    Medicare for all, a plan to replace Obamacare, would give Trump a huge Victory as it would be seen as a promise kept.

    That is why they opposed it. They want Trump OUT. And will do ANYTHING to get him out. Including making people suffer more.

    The strategy is to get Joe Biden in the White House with a D Senate and House.

    Actually, the primary strategy is to remove our primary National Security threat from the White House.

    They don't want to pursue risky strategies until they are assured of all 3 conditions.

    Now you start believing polls?? LOL

    I agree, but they can be pushed, and the next gen like AOC will be in there swinging.

    Republicans have completely lost it.

    Actually, the House passed the Heroes Act over a month ago...

    Most in both parties oppose that.

    Pushing any huge program, that isn't relief, would upset voters who already seriously perturbed. Incremental change will be welcome.

    A Prez election is always a referendum on the status quo and the status quo sucks. We could run a dead cat and win.

    The Heroes Act passed OVER 2.5 months ago.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/15/coronavirus-updates-house-passes-3-trillion-relief-package.html

    But I don't know what you mean most in BOTH parties oppose that? It wasn't unanimous D support in the House (14 nays) but still a strong majority.

    Can you show me a single poll that indicates it would be a deal-breaker for those Democrats?

    I'm pretty sure they did this to take away your "far left" talking point.

    The strategy is to put another nail in the coffin of the "Biden is controlled the ultra-left" talking point from Trump.

    And Trumps greatest asset in winning the next election.
    Just lately the Dems motto seems to be, "Take careful aim at foot, and shoot"

    Hence my comparison to the behavior of Nazis.

    The TRUE Deplorables?

    They were calling from inside the house.

    Narrator: He can't.

    But I admit I'm a bit surprised that Medicare for All took a dump in the platform. I mean, they have reparations in there, so why not MFA?

    The riots let that cat out of the bag, and now the cat's roaming free. Joe Biden is a political puppet and now he's a puppet with a weak platform.

    This take runs directly contrary to the polling data which shows, to date, that trump is his own worst enemy.

    That is the reason why biden is not campaigning more. He doesnt need to.

    I'd love to see somebody in the Biden camp incorporate one of my favorite (and true) phrases into the campaign

    Biden 2020 - Less IS more....
