I’m so disheartened. I think Trump will win. It’s like a game to so many older voters. And young voters are so angry.

Blame the DNC for not forcing Joe out after one term.

It's so weird that you think there is some group of people that could somehow force him out. That's not how it works.

Then at the very least, someone should have had a "come to Jesus" meeting with Biden and reminded him of his "only one term transitional candidate" quasi promise.

Look. I wish Biden had not run and that there had been a real Democratic primary. I really thought for the longest time that he would wait until the last possible moment to bow out so that he wouldn’t be a lame duck too early. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. It’s not really clear to me why everyone hates him so much though. He’s such an improvement over Trump and unemployment is low, we didn’t have a recession.

But here we are and I think Trump will get elected.

The survey results in NYTimes poll are interesting. Look at this question:

"How satisfied are you with the way things are going in your life these days?"
Net Satisfied: 74%
Net Unsatisfied: 22%

I mean, that is a shocking spread. The vast majority of the country is satisfied with their lives. People are really just looking for something to complain about and the media environment bombards them with negative messaging.

I think they still come home for Biden. I would be flabbergasted if 77% of country that is "satisfied" with their life dumps the incumbent. Americans just really, really like to whine.

The other thing that really strikes me is that the poll has the Democrat winning comfortably in each of the Senate races in the 4 states with races. 3 of those are incumbents. If people are so upset with the status quo and democratic policies, why are they saying they're going to vote for the democratic incumbent senators? There's a lot that doesn't add up.

It is very interesting. If current polling holds, it seems likely that Democrats will hold the Senate and take the House while Donald Trump becomes president. I think this is a result that many Americans will consider to be ideal given available options. The vast majority of Americans don't identify with the far left or the far right. This result would keep the extremes in check.

As for Biden, there are a lot of reasons he's going to lose. He's not only far too old, but he really presents himself as someone who is far too old for the presidency. He'll be 86 for goodness sake. I don't know what Jill Biden was thinking encouraging her geriatric husband to run for reelection. There should have been a stern talking to.

Then add the issues that people really care about. Inflation over the past four years. It really has made life a lot harder for the vast majority of Americans that live paycheck to paycheck. Immigration. More than 10 million illegal migrants from around the world have streamed across the border since Biden became president. Absolutely everyone in America thinks that's out of control. Trans-women. In reality it's a non-issue, but it does hit a nerve with a lot of women and is an easily exploitable issue. Israel-Gaza. There's no win anywhere for Biden. Progressives won't vote for Biden over this issue. And the rest of America looks upon the protestors as terrorist sympathizers. Hopeless issue for Biden. And abortion is not going to save the day for Biden. It's become a state by state local issue. And with voters willing to split tickets, those votes will be cast down ballot.

Democrats really should have nominated someone else if they had wanted to keep the White House. Trump is the most beatable candidate in history. Any 55 year old with a pulse and some common sense would beat him. But here we are.

I just don't think that if Trump wins, Dems will hold or take both houses. Maybe one, def not both.

Current polling is sort of all over the place.

Also, no, Dems really should not have nominated someone else. Please see that other thread about who that magical candidate would have been. There are people with a lot of promise, and no one who would have been a certain. Except maybe Shapiro in PA - but he's never been tested on the national stage, and if DeSantis and Noem have taught us anything, other than that Rs are super weird, it's that governors can look super promising and be total wet farts once they actually try to make it big.

Incumbency is so strong in the US political system and has so many structural advantages. Again look at Lichtman's Keys to the Presidency - incumbency is one of the keys because it is so powerful.

Just imagine if Dems were having a primary battle right now - candidates would be fighting for attention with Trump trials, Trump rallies, Gaza-Israel, Biden himself sucking up media oxygen, etc. Massive waste of money fighting amongst themselves.

Having a mobster narcissist surrounded by 'yes-men' in the White House is a lose-lose for the United States of America.

There's a very good chance the Dems will re-take the house. At least it's headed in that direction as every special election seems to go the Dems way.

The senat will be harder, with Tester in MT vulnerable, Hogan has a good chance of winning MD and A Republican will probably replace Manchin in WV.

I really hope the tattooed vet running as a democrat wins West Virginia though. As he said “what do we (west Virginians) have to lose”? Republicans have not been good for West Virginia as a whole. Undrinkable water, no jobs. It should be a tourist mecca and its proximity to dc should mean good jobs.

The media is really jonesing for a Trump win.

That thread had plenty of solid candidates named but the op (you?) moved the goalposts to people who were actually running in a primary that wasn’t happening. If you make the question “what Joe Biden should the Democrats nominate instead of Joe Biden” you get the answer you asked for.

Not to mention a corrupt SCOTUS and dysfunctional house (if Rs retain control).

I’m so disheartened. I think Trump will win. It’s like a game to so many older voters. And young voters are so angry.

Blame the DNC for not forcing Joe out after one term.

It's so weird that you think there is some group of people that could somehow force him out. That's not how it works.

Then at the very least, someone should have had a "come to Jesus" meeting with Biden and reminded him of his "only one term transitional candidate" quasi promise.

Look. I wish Biden had not run and that there had been a real Democratic primary. I really thought for the longest time that he would wait until the last possible moment to bow out so that he wouldn’t be a lame duck too early. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. It’s not really clear to me why everyone hates him so much though. He’s such an improvement over Trump and unemployment is low, we didn’t have a recession.

But here we are and I think Trump will get elected.

The survey results in NYTimes poll are interesting. Look at this question:

"How satisfied are you with the way things are going in your life these days?"
Net Satisfied: 74%
Net Unsatisfied: 22%

I mean, that is a shocking spread. The vast majority of the country is satisfied with their lives. People are really just looking for something to complain about and the media environment bombards them with negative messaging.

I think they still come home for Biden. I would be flabbergasted if 77% of country that is "satisfied" with their life dumps the incumbent. Americans just really, really like to whine.

The other thing that really strikes me is that the poll has the Democrat winning comfortably in each of the Senate races in the 4 states with races. 3 of those are incumbents. If people are so upset with the status quo and democratic policies, why are they saying they're going to vote for the democratic incumbent senators? There's a lot that doesn't add up.

It is very interesting. If current polling holds, it seems likely that Democrats will hold the Senate and take the House while Donald Trump becomes president. I think this is a result that many Americans will consider to be ideal given available options. The vast majority of Americans don't identify with the far left or the far right. This result would keep the extremes in check.

As for Biden, there are a lot of reasons he's going to lose. He's not only far too old, but he really presents himself as someone who is far too old for the presidency. He'll be 86 for goodness sake. I don't know what Jill Biden was thinking encouraging her geriatric husband to run for reelection. There should have been a stern talking to.

Then add the issues that people really care about. Inflation over the past four years. It really has made life a lot harder for the vast majority of Americans that live paycheck to paycheck. Immigration. More than 10 million illegal migrants from around the world have streamed across the border since Biden became president. Absolutely everyone in America thinks that's out of control. Trans-women. In reality it's a non-issue, but it does hit a nerve with a lot of women and is an easily exploitable issue. Israel-Gaza. There's no win anywhere for Biden. Progressives won't vote for Biden over this issue. And the rest of America looks upon the protestors as terrorist sympathizers. Hopeless issue for Biden. And abortion is not going to save the day for Biden. It's become a state by state local issue. And with voters willing to split tickets, those votes will be cast down ballot.

Democrats really should have nominated someone else if they had wanted to keep the White House. Trump is the most beatable candidate in history. Any 55 year old with a pulse and some common sense would beat him. But here we are.

There is no situation where Trump is president and "the extremes are in check"

Having a mobster narcissist surrounded by 'yes-men' in the White House is a lose-lose for the United States of America.

No, it's a win-win based on his sensible policies. You're so far to the left that you can't see it.

BTW, Americans cheer an underdog, and in all four court cases Trump is the underdog. But please continue with the political persecution.

NP. I was a long time republican voter up until 2016 so I'm not lefty. I voted for Dole, Bush twice, McCain and then Romney. Trump is about as extreme as it gets.
