Rush Limbaugh: Do you realize it may well be the Democrat primary race is over?

Biden is not the ideal candidate some think.. so what he is way ahead now? means nothing.. what means something is his frazzled speech, his arrogance, and the fact that other than Nixon, no similarly losing candidate ever made a comeback of the sort Biden would need, politically.. he is long in the tooth, and Democrats want new and more leftist blood.

Hillary did not campaign that much, if at all in these states. These three states are up for grabs. If the democrat flips these three states and wins the same 230 electoral college votes that Hillary got, that would be enough to go over 270 and win the election. Don't forget uncle Joe is from Penn, he should really focus on Michigan and Wisconsin, if he gets the nomination. Originally Posted by adav8s28

Joe has no game for this. The Demonrats will brand him an old fossil and "Bernie" him.

Biden's sense of ego is almost as big as Trump's. Biden thincks he can stand up to the "Bully" Trump. let's say Biden does make to the general election. If he tries to challenge Trump he'll get crushed.

So Bring on Creepy Joe!

MAGA 20202!

The 230 electoral college votes that Hillary did get are from "Blue" states that the Democrat typically wins. Think about it, despite Ben Gazi and the emails Hillary still got 230 college votes. The question for the democrat in the next election will be can he or she flip Michigan, Wisconsin and Penn back to blue. If he or she does Trump will be a one term president.

You can't accept the fact that Trump won, so clearly you can't accept the fact that he is going to be even harder to beat now as a sitting President with the full might of the RNC behind him.

you do recall that Trump got no help from the RNC in 2016 and that they will back him 100% this time, yeah?

what's your platform to attack Trump on? How he destroyed the Economy? the market collapse? the Mueller nothing burger?

What ya got? How would you campaign against Trump? maybe Biden posts here in secret? he might get a few points from an expert.

admit it. you hate Trump so badly that you thinck his presidency is vulnerable to a bunch of leftist radicals and one old turd.


BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

I believe the REAL wild card is the start of the FISA warrant investigation and multiple indictment and convictions that will follow.
All these crimes come to light and it will be a cake walk.
The House can only run interference for so long...

This will be a major issue going into the 2020 campaign.

And how are those tariffs working out? Annual impact on a family of 4 -- $2389.

Bob Dole looked good on paper, he got his ass handed to him. Mondale, same. long-time politicians who fit the suit, but nobody would energize for. who REALLY wants Biden? a few Corporate Donors, but few real voting people. what Biden's big lead tells me, is no other candidate has emerged, so Biden is the fall back position.. for now.. means nothing. Sanders had some momentum, that Biden stopped for now. but Biden will not last.. his lead will be gone by August. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

In recent polls, Biden is pulling ahead of the pack. Almost 3X as many Democrats would pick him as the next highest candidate, Bernie Sanders,

Rush Limbaugh is predicting Biden will face Trump in the general election:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/lim...eading-the-way

Like Trump, he's trying to find a silver lining. Limbaugh's is that some Bernie Sanders supporters will vote for Trump. Fat chance. They might stay home but they won't vote for Trump.

Biden is going to be a lot harder to beat than Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton won the majority of the popular vote.

Trump supporters can't bank on the economy, which may not be so peachy come November of 2020. While economists don't think Trump's tariffs will markedly hurt people here, they said the same thing the last time Republicans supported a trade war, in 1930. That didn't turn out so well.

most of the time the front-runner early on does not get the nomination. Trump cast aside that trend last time. He was the front-runner the moment he declared and was never seriously challenged. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Trump needs to release all the information on the gathering of the information for the FISA warrant
Yeah you're right Chung nothing here...what stinkin' scandal!!
FISA stuff will go nowhere...straight from the DNC...right Chung!!

Look at the four polls that have been done in those states. Biden's trouncing Trump. Admittedly though there's not much data and it's a long time to November 2020.

Uh yes he did immediately jump above Rubio, Bush and Cruz. Trump announced on June 16, 2015.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep...tion-3823.html


scroll down to June 2015 and see who is ahead in the RNC race. Trump. He was never behind, certainly not by any large margin, less than any reasonable margin of error.



this is July 22 2015 less than a month after Trump declared.

Clinton slid thru with a complete coverup by Obama and his DOJ. this is fact, friend. Guess who cannot cover for himself or Clinton now? Obama. Guess who is going to push it hard against the Demonrats? Trump.

For an all out trade war, where other countries are involved, you may be looking at 0% GDP growth, all other things being equal. Are these estimates any good? I have no idea, and don't want to find out.

Anyway, hopefully China and the USA will work this out. If not prospects for Trump and the Republican Party may not look so good in 2020.
