Joe Biden Presidency thread *Please read OP - Threadbanned Users Added 4/5/21*

Not sure that's the last word on the subject though. If Biden continues to falter and make gaffes, the whole thing could blow up again.

I never once mentioned the Democrats in my post.

Try again mate.

"Hubris and arrogance from the Biden camp."

Still better than a rapist and racist though, eh?

Trump thread —>

But again, its not remarkable that one needs to talk about Trump in order to protect Biden.

He was a registered Republican, a member of a local gun club and had a YouTube gun channel tshirt on. So far no association has surfaced between him and Democrats. And I'd also not be using a person's appearance as some indicator of if one is a Republican or not.

Biden still has a very powerful tool, incumbency.

Addressing the nation from the Oval Office is still quite a thing.

I don't think the assassination attempt is the death knell for Biden's campaign like has been touted.

The next Ads against Trump write themselves, montage of him encouraging violence and division to dropping to the floor holding his bloody ear looking for his shoes.

"a registered R doesn't mean much"

Conversely, if he or she was a democrat, black, mexican, Muslim or transgender it would be the ONLY ****ing thing that would matter.

I've seen people saying that the undecided only become 'active' after the convention. Now the idea is being introduced that they only show up in the week before the election. I think what's happening, there, is just revising the rationale as to why the polling needle is not moving as the election draws closer.

Anyway, even if this were to occur, the assumption that all of these people would break for Biden is a huge stretch. If they're undecided they could go either way, by definition.

The polling isn't really all over the place. Trump has solid leads in at least five of seven battlegrounds. The other two he leads in, but well within the margin of error.

Regarding both candidates being unpopular, Trump got 74 million votes the last time which is the most for any Republican candidate in history, and that was after the USA got a good look at him in the job. Biden got ten million more, though I would suggest that much of this was anti-Trump as opposed to pro-Biden. I think Trump's numbers are going to hold from that election, but I think Biden will be doing well to break 70 million.

I'd also say the motivation of the shooter might end up shifting the conversation somewhat. It wasn't a Democrat by any measure by looks of things. So it's potentially a variety of rationales that have the likelihood to point back at things like conspiracy theories which the Trump campaign have historically been very encouraging of them. My concern is you'll get copycats that want to target the Dems which feels more likely.

If that is the plan, unlikely to happen until the convention - something to do with the funding rules, if how they have been described here is accurate. Democratic National Convention starts August 19th.

Biden broke Obamas record.

Which seven battlegrounds are you referring to?

The polling isn't really all over the place.

They are, because the focus will narrow.

The traditional swing states overwhelming back abortion rights for instance. Can you see trump getting more of the female educated vote?

The democrats need to rally behind Biden and get out the key messages.

Biden needs to stay semi coherent.

I honestly think this assassination attempt is a blessing in disguise for them.

Even the likes of Gaza which was hurting Biden in the polls has dissipated through natural time and apathy.

Long way to go.

According to his classmates he’s “definitely conservative”

Trump can't help himself he will be back to the hateful rhetoric in no time.

I see he went to play golf and hasn't mentioned to other victims at all.

Will we ever find out? good chance he had TDS which got its energy from the Dem/Dem media, on the other hand being a Nikki Haley supporter for example I doubt would be enough to throw anybody over the edge

likely though that the "steal muh Democracy" crowd will take a hammering , it was funny how many loons who "wished it was a better shot" had to close their accounts.
