    Something trump has going for him:

    FDR Reagan Clinton

    I think all 3 would be considered great presidents. Those are the only ones that have beaten incumbents in modern times. No one thinks Joe Biden is a good candidate, even the left. He was -200 in February. Like Goat said, there’s a lot of time left.

    A lot more hypotheticals just like these that can come into play.

    I try not to live in the moment.
    We arent getting 2k a month.. our country has done the absolute min for it’s people.. $1200 for 4 months of this virus and 40 million out of work.. talk about delusional

    really, I assume because the guy who wonders about Finland being part of Russia, and tariffs are a good thing and China will pay, and Belgium is a beautiful city. because that guy has great political/historical knowledge. Please if it is substance Biden will be there and do the same to this idiot as he did to Palin. And Palin is about 1000 times sharper than the orange asshole.

    anything can happen, that is a given so I agree with you.

    but comparing trump to FDR, RR and Clinton. really have you been a member of the planet earth for the past 3 plus years. if so name some serious accomplishments the clown has achieved for ordinary Americans. Things like health insurance (fail), things like foreign affairs (fail),his lover just sent him a love letter a really hot one it was actually filled with fire. how did his promise off fixing the VA work out? I know for sure the VA is much worse than it once was and it was bad. when Putin speaks about Trump you can see the smirk on his face like I own this clown. He threatened Venezuela on multiple occasions and the next day that is finished. He fires his "best" people as often as he eats KFC.
    the list of his stupidity is much bigger than his fat ass.

    You want a sure winner. Washington State -1200 Democrat. Illionis -2000 Democrat. No way these are going red in the election. Easy money

    See the difference between you and I is simple. You hate trump and have a hard time getting past that part when assessing things. Bidens own campaign manager has told him to stay in the basement. He will try to avoid debates. He is low energy. His ONLY response will be "come on man".

    Another way to look at it for each of those presidents and the more likely reason they beat the incumbent, was due to the MAJOR issues occurring at the time for the sitting president.

    FDR - defeated Hubert Hoover --> Hoover had the great depression

    Reagan - beat Carter --> The wheels fell off Carter's re-election due to the economy collapse/inflation and the failed rescue attempt of the hostages in Iran.

    Clinton - beat H.W. Bush --> For Bush the economy was in mild recession and the "Read my lips. No new taxes" pledge that fell through.




    Unfortunately, for Trump, we have Covid-19 and a screwed up economy as a result. These are MAJOR issues like those for each incumbent above. Unless it turns around, re-election may not occur.

    Here's the scary thing about this.... absent Obama, I believe 3of 4 last incumbent elections resulted in the incumbent being tossed or losing the popular vote (RE 80, GHWB 92, GWB 04). Obama crushed 2x, Trump lost popular vote by a wide margin in 16.

    I understand the popular vote doesn't matter generally speaking, however it does impact the news cycle and represents a tidal wave of populism.

    Grab Biden or DEM -130/-145 , Trump cannot win reelection without MI/WI/OH/PA/ FL.

    Desantis alone is going to cost Trump Trump Florida because of the unemployment insurance disaster that has left hundreds of thousands of 18-50 yr old service industry participants who were initially excited about him, they are finished
    ...they're not getting UI, the Federal 600, many had the 1200 seized, etc.

    He's finished without a 100% open economy and sports for him to advertise on.

    With the economy re-opening Biden will have to debate Trump.. If he doesn't Trump will rip him in Ads and the media for Biden continuing to stay tucked away in the basement.

    Biden will have to crawl out of that basement hole at some point before November if he wants a chance to become President..

    That's the plan. Remember the WH Corona daily briefings???? Everyday until Trump screwed up continually so they stopped them.
    That was with him in total charge and no opponents.
    If the ship is sinking on it's own "don't interfere" is the Democrats plan.
