I indented them. In any case,the polls are not changing. Still close with slight margin inside the error rate for Trump. I too believe this will be a get out the vote election.
Trump getting shot at has helped his side's "get out to vote" equation though.
That's what scares me. They're invigorated by recent events. I don't think they're any larger than before, but they're definitely more motivated now.
True, but three months is a lifetime in US politics. Add to that,Biden has built out local offices to handle GOTV. Trump hasn't
A "lifetime" sounds like plenty of time to make Biden compete in some primary debates
There's only one more debate in September. He'll do fine.
I remember when Hillary's campaign was "doing fine" too.
The Democrats can't afford to take the risk of trying to play it safe, not after the decade we've had. They need a sure thing, and that means they need to hold a primary.
There is no sure thing. There have already been primaries
No there haven't. The one guy who tried to primary Biden got run out of the party entirely.
JD Vance means Trump + Republicans are doubling-down on extremism, anti-Ukraine feelings and more.
We have a serious shot at this. Everyone stay focused, we can get through this together. The overplay of the Republicans will be on display in the coming month. But Democrats absolutely need rise to this challenge for us to stand a chance.
