Official Biden vs. Trump 2020 General Election Thread (Biden WINS 306 Electoral College Votes)

[A.R.$]

Biden won’t be able to control the narrative like he could in a democratic primary where no one wanted to hurt each other too bad. Sanders didn’t run any negative ads on Biden. If anything, that showed me he probably wasn’t the guy progressives were looking for. You cannot be the nominee and not be a fighter. In the end, Bernie was too nice and too bad at retail politics. Trump on the other hand, and the Republican machine will not allow Biden to get away with anything. They will do what they did to Hillary times 10,000. If Biden wins, it won’t be because people trust him to get anything done - it will be because they want Trump out. There wasn’t a single debate on trade prior to Michigan. Bernie never contrasted himself to Biden. His team should have been driving all of this home since Iowa. This is what happens when your team if full of outsiders trying to play an insider’s game. But Biden could also win off the strength of all the new people that progressives registered to vote. You saw this happen with Doug Jones in Alabama and Wilmer in Michigan. Progressives lost but brought in a lot of new people. Sanders campaign’s popularity with Hispanic voters and that turnout will be important in Arizona, Texas, and Nevada. To a lesser extent in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan.

People are over looking this. Biden really haven’t been attacked in the last few months. The the attacks went to Bernie and Bloomberg. However, Trump has fukked up the coronavirus response, and it is looking like we might be headed into a recession. That should be enough to give Biden the election. But if the economy recovers and the coronavirus fizzle out, I think Trump takes it.

I tagged y'all b/c y'all are from two differ factions and knowledgeable about policy. What are 1 or 2 policy proposals (obviously not M4A) that Biden should embrace from the Bernie wing as a way to reach back to his voters without alienating Biden's base? Biden will most likely be the first candidate in history that will need to move away from the center primary -> general. Obama needs to advice him not to remain content. Obama through his work w/ his foundation has a pulse of the frustration right now within the young generation. Embracing some type of student loan forgiveness or a more ambition climate change initiative or calling up Warren to take parts of her anti-corruption bill would be smart IMO.

Joe Biden but I hope he picks a good vp his mental capacity will only get worse.

 

[thatrapsfan]

as it should be

yall remember the PUMA Hillary supporters

even they fell in line and voted for Hussein

Wild throwback low key 2008 was way more polarizing than this primary. I remember being shocked that Obama offered Clinton a cabinet position and even more surprised that she accepted.

Again,
primaries are different from a general election. Plus Biden by all accounts was already viewed as the nominee. The polls in Michigan was a lot different before SC and Super Tuesday. The debate in Michigan before the primary helped Bernie in 2016. In that debate Bernie hammered her on trade. Biden really haven’t been attacked on trade yet. Biden might still when if the economy start going downhill. But it is a major mistake to think that these primary numbers will automatically transfer to the general election.

Biden has been in the lead in most Michigan polls since last year. The NAFTA stuff is baked in at this point.

Barring a recession, Trump probably wins by similar margins to 2016.

These primaries so far don't really make it seem like Dems will turn out at the needed numbers.

I can’t understand you people thinking Trump wins

You guys are insane to me..

He’s been terrible and the worst President ever in history and is a criminal..

You people say he’s gonna get re-elected like he’s George Bush or some shyt..

He’s been an absolute disaster in every way he’s one and done

Major difference between a primary and general election. The Dems were nice to Joe. Trump p is going to be vicious . Trump and the republicans whole strategy is to depress turnout. And they have a lot to work with. Also Republican turnout have been good considering that they don’t even have a real primary.

No offense, but none of this is different than last cycle and I don’t see where any indication is that their turnout will be up. The numbers don’t work here when we’re seeing how much Hillary depressed the vote, that with the slim margins needed to flip Midwest states, trump ain’t sitting pretty.

one second you say voters have Short memories (coronavirus) yet they’ll be more critical of a long ago action (nafta) than trump’s trade war. Voters ain’t even thinking that deep...

you’re on your @acri1 steeze, that’s fine, but I see opportunity in this election not doom and gloom

Here they go. Already starting. Bernie fans will trash the other candidate openly and de facto support republicans.

#WriteInBernie is trending #1 right now on Twitter.

God, is this Russia or are there that many cultists in this country who don't understand the consequences of this election?

 

[Joe Sixpack]

You all know we’re not going to see much of either Joe or Trump come summer and fall right?

I’m starting to doubt that there will even be debates.

There will be no debates...

Trump is a coward and from what I understand he has the right of refusal to even do debates

Everyone but Bernie fans think Joe has a good chance. Why is this that?

Why would Trump go so far as to get himself impeached just to stop Joe?

Do you think he might be seen as a threat?

The facts on the ground don’t match up with the narrative.
