Even Peggy Noonan staunch conservative is giving up on Trump.
From the WSJ...

The Week It Went South for Trump
He hasn’t been equal to the crises. He never makes anything better. And everyone kind of knows.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-wee...mp-11593127733

......On Wednesday a Siena College/New York Times poll found Joe Biden ahead 50% to 36%. It’s a poll four months out, but it’s a respectable one and in line with others. (A week before, a Fox News poll had Mr. Biden leading 50% to 38%. The president denounced it as a fantasy.) This week’s poll had Mr. Biden leading among women by 22 points—a bigger lead than Hillary Clinton enjoyed in 2016. He has moderates by 33 points, independents by 21. On Thursday a separate Times/Siena poll had Mr. Trump losing support in the battleground states that put him over the top in 2016. His “once-commanding advantage among white voters has nearly vanished,” the Times wrote.

That is absolutely true, Track Collector.

(since I am not a partisan-zombie-lockstepper, I can see these things more objectively. )

They also noticed they've not been helped by Republicans either.

And, that's exactly what is happening.



Right wing provocateurs arguing about pronouns, or whether somebody is a commie, socialist, and late night tweets from politicians on either side don't impress them.

They are looking for meaningful movement on policy issues.


And they will vote for those who they believe can deliver on that. It might be a piecemeal enchilada but they will look for some incremental improvement.

Hillary was the huge favorite last time. Trump was a great bet at about 30-1.

Not much value here.

The more interesting bet to me is who will be the dem VP.

I'm thinking Warren is more likely to be picked because if Biden wins the VP will most likely be the leading candidate in 2024 because Biden may not be able to run due to age or health.

Warren is a more popular presidential candidate than Harris.

I disagree about Warren.She's a humorless scold.Harris I think would have more appeal to independents and the infamous "soccer moms" and she's closer to the traditional Democrat centrist demographic.

the republican states are starting to turn against this liberal. i don't think any of us have ever seen republicans unloyal to republican candidates. this is happening right now. Trump is holding his own in the democratic states, hardly budging, but he was pretty weak in those states to start out with.

Trump was 30-1+ before he was nominated to run.
After that, those odds were long gone.

Still, he was a good size underdog much of the time.
Even on election night, you could have gotten close to double digits.
