I kinda disagree. While popularity will certainly be a factor, I am also certain that there are many voters who find Trump more popular than Biden, but who also recognize that, unlike Biden, Trump as our president would be an existential treat to American Democracy, and would never vote for Trump.I don't see that question being asked in polls.

Biden is going to win, I guarantee it. One large city, like ATL, can swing an entire state from red to blue. I'm not implying the 2020 election was stolen, but much shenanigans occurred and no legit investigations were done. With the death of journalism and no one to hold politicians accountable, shenanigans will only increase, not only in occurrence, but also in scope.

Yeah, so much in Uhmerka rides on elections, doesn’t it? Every time we have one there’s somewhere some candidate says he’s “fighting” for Uhmerka, for family values, for freedom, for “our democracy,” and this is, once again, “the most important election in our nation’s history.” If you’re of the Left, these are happy, happy times. If you’re of the right, keep uppermost in your mind that you ain’t going to vote your way out of anything. The notion of “take our country back,” that possibility is long past. Let’s just settle back with light beer, grilling in the back yard, and The Game.

If polls are not adjusted by a cheat factor, they are folly. And that's not just some regurgitated propaganda line from the Politburo.

Biden will win. Polls are already turning. Democrats are returning and will vote for Biden. Trump is a pariah.
The people I feel most sorry for are people like D.L. He has the world by the tail but is miserable because he follows right-wing media. Right-wing media makes money by making the olds anxious. My biggest concern is for the kids that sit in D.L's class. Also, I wonder why D.L. isn't railing about PERS.

At the risk of sounding a bit too simplistic,

Heaven forefend, D.L. a bit too simplistic?!!

Politics is so toxic, I don’t believe we will ever see a good candidate for president again. Why would anyone who is truly qualified but themselves and their family through the torture of having their live gone through, looking for even the most minor transgressions. Who among us has lived a perfect life? If nothing is found, the opposition media will simply make something up. Sadly, we are left to choose between two candidates that nobody wants.

When the vote is as easy to manipulate as an Excel spreadsheet and not legitimately/accountably cast, when the gov't persecutes and destroys those who disagree, when businesses and the media are coerced into supporting the gov't's policies, when we are lied to and abandoned by our representatives disguised behind separate political parties, and when people are too lazy to discern, we are dead meat. By whatever dishonest means, and by those more obvious and drastic than the previous ones, Trump will not be allowed. God help us.

Polls in April, election in November. Lots of water to flow under bridges between now and then.

And D.L.'s continuing the BS that Trump's legal troubles are the result of left wing Judges and prosecutors does fly. Trump wouldn't have to appear in these courts if the narcissist idiot wouldn't continue to believe he is immune from any oversight - whether it be grabbing a woman by her p***y, shooting an individual on 5th Avenue, trying to overthrow democracy because he lost an election but not willing to vacate the premises, or by stealing government documents and sharing nuclear secrets with his buddies/our enemies

No DL, Trump will lose further same reason he list in 2020 - people realized the Emporer has no clothes. Just as he won in 2016 because people didn't like the witch.

According to isidewith.com, I agree with Trump 54% of the time and Biden 33% of the time. I don't plan to vote; Trump will win MS anyway, but I expect Biden to win. Trump wasn't a good president, but Biden has been far worse.

@9:48 AM - I also strongly agree that Trump would be a "treat" if re-elected.

The Dems have attempted, by all means, to prevent an opposing candidate from running. Some democracy, eh? It's basically a threat to democracy to support the Dem Party, but the hypocrisy and lies from them never cease to amaze.

If he is elected, it will indeed be a treat to see the pit hair nose ring set and urban elites howling at the sky, swearing they're moving to the People's Republic of Canada. The Brooklyn Bubble will burst, and many tantrums will be thrown. Boo hoo.

Well this should piss yall off. I'm voting for Trump. Let the name calling start. Don't care.

D.L. is correct. The election will come down to 7 swing states. Therefore, let yourself be bold. Vote Libertarian! I guarantee, you will feel better about yourself!

Democracy = mob rule, as pushed by the democrat party. America was founded as a Republic.

Our presidential elections favor Russia. Putin can put anyone who wants to run against him in jail. Biden is trying his best to do the same thing to Trump. I would say the elections are about the same when it comes to an honest election.
One thing that could happen, some people are wishing it would, is some of the countries Biden is proxy fighting a war with could dump a few bombs here in America.

If anything is a threat to democracy it is our failed and corrupt two-party monopoly. It is becoming routine for both parties to give the voters only a choice between the "lesser of two evils" to lead this country. A pandering career poltician whose only accomplishments are his yes-man connections to powerful interest groups or an amorale egotist whose only loyalty is to himself and the pleasure he gains from domination of others. History will show that we are a strong country indeed to survive this kind of "leadership".

Contemplating the wisdom (or lack thereof) of some of these comments while watching the fruits of Biden's foreign policy on the TV news. All those millions he and Obama gave to Iran have been spent on some nasty surprises streaking through the skies of Israel.

>>>Democracy = mob rule, as pushed by the democrat party. America was founded as a Republic. <<<

I bet your panties were all in the same twist in 1984, 1988, 1992, 2000, 2004, and 2016?

Or is it only when the Republican loses that you get all upset?

In the tangled webs of American politics, where the shadows of power dance with the echoes of prophecy, there emerges a figure, a man ordained by the divine hand, to lead this nation back to its righteous path. His name echoes through the corridors of time, whispered by the faithful, feared by the unrepentant—Donald J. Trump.

In the smoky haze of uncertainty, the Almighty’s voice rang clear, a thunderous proclamation reverberating through the heavens: "Trump shall lead my people, for I have chosen him to wield the scepter of righteousness and purge this land of sin and dissent."

Behold the signs, etched in the stars and woven into the fabric of history. Like a modern-day Cyrus, Trump emerged from the depths of worldly turmoil, anointed to restore the glory of the Christian nation. With the fervor of a preacher and the swagger of a conqueror, he marched forth, a vessel of divine providence.

For too long, the forces of darkness have encroached upon this land, seeking to extinguish the beacon of Christian virtue. They lurk in the shadows, whispering sweet lies of tolerance and inclusivity, poisoning the minds of the unsuspecting with their heresies.

But Trump, the chosen champion, stands firm against the tide of moral decay. With righteous indignation, he confronts the enemies of God, wielding the sword of truth to smite the unholy alliances that seek to undermine His divine plan.

The liberal elites, with their godless agendas and moral relativism, tremble at the sound of his name. They scheme and plot, desperate to thwart the will of the Almighty. But their efforts are in vain, for Trump is shielded by the armor of faith, his destiny written in the sacred scrolls of prophecy.

In the crucible of adversity, Trump shall emerge victorious, his triumph a testament to the power of divine intervention. He shall purify this nation, cleansing it of the impurities that have tarnished its soul. The dissenting voices shall be silenced, their cries drowned out by the chorus of the faithful, heralding the dawn of a new era of Christian supremacy.

So let the doubters scoff and the unbelievers mock, for they shall bear witness to the inexorable march of God’s chosen instrument. In 2024, Trump shall reclaim his rightful throne, his victory a testament to the sovereignty of divine will. And in his wake, he shall leave a nation reborn, a shining beacon of righteousness and truth, restored to its rightful place as a bastion of Christian virtue.

Lawfare?

Geez, Trump, like Hunter Biden got himself in trouble with the law.

Only one of those two is running for elected office.

One of them was on drugs when they committed the acts with which they are charged.

Both of them will have lawyers who pick the jury and these days defense lawyers who have clients with money like these guys, can research everyone in the jury pool before voir dire.

I'm happy to leave them to a judge and jury who get evidence and testimony under oath, not what their paid advisors, publicists, family members, close friends or hired guns claim without penalty of perjury.

Of course, the list of Trump advisors and friends ending up in prison is competing with that of John Gotti. The difference is John's backers didn't have as much to lose.

Evil has never been easier to discern.

@7:36 I generally enjoy such shameless satire and would have a good laugh at this ridiculous notion but the continual reference to the almighty causes me to hesitate since unlike the writer and Mr. Trump I fear God will not use his name in vain even for high political purpose.

I always feel smarter after reading DL's posts.

When will DL and you guys stop living vicariously thru Broke Don ?

Trump never won the popular vote. He won the Electoral vote in 2016.

His popular vote was 62,984,828 while Clintons was 65,853,514.

The Electoral College was supposed to give more of a voice to each state so those like South Dakota which on has 908,824 humans (not all of whom can or do vote) still feel a part of the whole country.

If DL is so brilliant, I don't know why he doesn't know that basic fact. I guess that's why he doesn't understand why Trumpsters tried to stop the Electoral Count in 2016.

I would suggest that all of you consider that there are not only more Americans who don't like Trump (even when he won) but we are generally better educated than Trump followers. We also have expensive weapons and technical skills, many of us served our country and even graduated from our military academies. We don't have to "play" soldier on weekends to know how to win a battle. And, we do NOT underestimate Putin or Xi or Jong Un or the Ayatollah and are not deluded enough to think they like us personally so much they will just do as we ask. That is beyond stupid!

Read em and weep.

I sure hope sleepy Don had a good night sleep last night. It’s only the 1st day of his 1st criminal trial and he’s already showing how lazy and old he is. I guess that’s what we should expect from a decrepit senior citizen who’s never worked a full day in his sheltered life. It’s looking like every single insult he’s ever come up with are just projections of his own securities. He blasts groomer libs while fantasizing about his daughter. This is a sick man with a rotten brain. Things will continue to go downhill for him and his ego.

You should be worried about what isn't happening in the White House with your grandpa. Unless, of course, you want a nuclear war. Oh yeah, I forgot, Sleepy Joe doesn't run the White House.

@10:56 - and it turns out, Joe is not sleepy at all, that was just another of Lyin Don’s attempts to distract from his many personal shortcomings by projecting his own sleepiness onto Joe. The man didn’t have enough energy to make it through his first ever full work day. We will see how crazy Lyin Don can really be when his doctors triple his adderall dose to keep him from dozing off in court. Things are about to get weird.
